3 Mistakes That Cost Blake Lively the Court of Public Opinion in the Justin Baldoni Case

[@Alex-vx1ty]

Has anyone else seen the interview of Blake on a stage with the entire cast of a TV show and Blake says out loud: "you were born in a cage." -- Referencing the fact her co-star was born in jail while her mum was incarcerated. When the "joke" didn't land, instead of apologizing , Blake rudely says, "it was a joke." Zero accountability for being a total B - tch is a pattern with Blake.

👏👏👏👏 I agree. I really don’t think that many directors will want to work with Sony. They threw J under the bus and sided with the star which shows any director that they will not back them up in future. Let’s be real, it was a movie about someone getting out of a DV relationship. Anyone thinking that they should overlook the DV aspect of the movie has no common sense. Even if Sony ‘forced’ BL to promote it as a rom com, that just shows neither BL nor RR have common sense to think there would be no backlash to promoting the movie that way especially to promote alcohol. To allow the director, lead actor who also has the rights to the movie to sit in the basement for the NY premiere, they all should be ashamed. He partly owns the company that paid their salaries and for these events and he was treated like trash. I am disappointed with everyone involved especially Sony. I have no words to describe BL and RR.

[@mandarina4157]

YES! Thank you. Her not taking accountability for a single thing she had done, when they were so obviously her own mistakes and no one else’s, is what made me immediately wary. She could’ve apologized and then said that she’d been manipulated (by SONY or whatever) into doing/saying other unsavory things. But no, she couldn’t possibly admit to being anything less than perfect and innocent to a fault. That rang extremely false and made her sound like a spoiled, petulant child that was never held accountable for anything, so now she cannot possibly fathom admitting to mistakes. Also the whole "I hope my complaint helps other victims speak up uwu" thing sounded so very false. Like, that’s the energy people wanted her to have during the movie promo, so she thought she could backtrack and have a do over, but no hunny that’s not how it works.

So basically they were represented by WME, they fired Justin per Blake’s request, instead of bringing the parties in and one reprimanding Blake for bad PR behavior and squashing the story, they protected Blake, obvious bias, so they didn’t do their job. I think WME is not a good company, it’s all about the money they make instead of real representation. Look they got that Megan Markle as a client and can even reel her in to behave. I think WME should be sued, and Blake and Ryan need to be cancelled and called out for their abusive behavior. WME has no real power, just a lackluster company that extorts their clients and they don’t care to straighten up their bad behavior. Blake is another Amber heard, Megan Markle and all those narcissistic people who don’t see the truth but their truth. I sure hope Justin gets vindicated in this case

[@siasteffen6329]

This is by FAR the smartest most realistic assessment of her missteps. Right from the start she has shown us how incredibly stupid she thinks we are. The internet NEVER forgets. How is she going to defend her self sabotage? Both her and her boring actor husband are a perfect example of how they think they are above public scrutiny simply because of their position. Who are actors really? They have a job. It’s called acting. But somehow they think they are smarter, more important, and above everyone. Most of all they are narcissistic arseholes. I loathe them.

If it was about her image, she's had every opportunity to address issues with corrective measures, as you said. She hasn't. She has continued to persue JB for something he has, and she wants. I believe this will become more apparent with time. The fact that people don't see her as she sees herself has been the biggest surprise for her. Right now, there's a 50% chance everything happened as she said. But there's also a 50% chance it didn't. I'm looking forward to disclosure.

It seems like justin baldoni is annoying and cringey at worst. There are even text messages where he addresses his neurodivergence. But blake lively if this is all true( which all of the signs point to it is) that would mean she is manipulative and HATEFUL. She was willing to DESTROY this man with a wife and kids his career- like she wanted him to SUFFER. Like why did she do him so dirty at the primiere? She confirmed that filming finished with no issues. Harrassment needs to be something repetitive. So if she was satisfied at the end of filming, why continue embarrassing him at the premiere? Every cast menber unfollowing him and standing by her side is a red flag to me. Im in the corporate world, and theres always going to be people who don't take sides and want to be neutral. All the cast members unfollowed him and went against him? And they made statements? But no one from gossip girl or anna kendrick showed support? Seems like she rallied the cast and they took the side of the more powerful person for their careers. hollywood is all about who you know after all. Imo, she is worse than amber heard. Amber Heard is crazy, but she was crazy to her BF. I can logically see how relationships will bring out the crazy. but Blake lively decided to do this to someone she worked with. She got her producer credit, she got her edit released, she got the cast turned on him- WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? Like the movie is over, just walk away you don't have to ever see him again. Also amber heard grew up in a broken home. Blake lively is a nepo baby. Shes tall, beautiful and she married ryan reynolds who sold mint mobile for over ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

She ‘joked’ about Leighton being born in a cage when in real her mother was in prison when she was born . What a cruel woman kzbin.infoHfi8KMYHHeo?si=mIHC4xtI7ypquAr0

[@bryantsfx10]

Great break down my only issue is you didn't come up with the Streisand effect it 1st came up in 2003

[@violetlune109]

Amateur PR moves….but glad they’ve exposed their true colors 👏🏻

[@jackieeeap2]

Th irony of it "Ends with Us" really did hahaha

[@NicoleLNC75]

Best analysis I’ve heard ❤

[@Cygnus75]

Excellent video and analysis. You got a new follower.

[@therealstory1101]

TeamBaldoni all the way !!!!

[@alpschild]

Fantastic recap!

[@frenchitaaki7357]

Main mistake is lying and manipulating and getting caught.

[@tod3msn]

You over think it. The public is not stupid. Is it logical for a first time director who has a co-star who is an "A list" Hollywood celebrity and a husband who is uber rich and another "A list" celebrity to hassle people who can make or break his career? No! Justin Baldoni had every reason to work positively with Blake and Ryan. He was a first time director working with a celebrity power couple. Compared to Blake and Ryan he is a peanut.

[@chami-w1p]

Compared to Blake and Ryan Justin is a saint. Justice for Justin!

[@MissLisSpeaks]

Baldoni is not a first time director. He’s directed other films, as well as produce, which is why he has a production company and buys rights to books for movies. He started his career in front of the camera, but he spends more time behind the scenes.

[@skb4055]

Justin Baldoni was NOT working with a power couple. He was working with Blake Lively. Can you imagine if your spouse showed up at your job to yell at your boss? Or MADE your boss show up at your house so they could yell at him? So unprofessional for the power couple to act this way.

[@reginayfavors]

Sony sent out conflicting messages siding with Blake way before the lawsuits.

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

Blake Lively is not an A-list celebrity, but regardless of that, most people wouldn't set out to burn bridges in Hollywood

[@iwillsurvive1335]

I enjoyed your video. It was just too short. Subscribing for more 👏🏽

[@ALadynamedBug]

Accused someone of SH yet finished a movie with many love scenes with that said someone. 🙄

[@KarineLajoie-ne9xp]

I wonder all the cast mates that treated Justin bad unfollowed him agreed for him and his family to be in the basement for an hour are proud of themselves!!! Shame on them

[@aclady2295]

I 100% agree! she could have kept quiet but once this got to a lawyer now it's no longer about the movie but about Blake lively and her actions.

[@Marsi-811]

Brilliant.. Thank you!

[@jooginz]

All she had to do was shut up. Because Justin Baldoni let her have her way with his film. But no. She had to file a stupid complaint that painted him as a perverted creep destroying his life basically. Should he not defend his dignity then? He filed against the New York times to defend himself but not against Blake. What did she do? She filed an actual law suit instead of settling quietly. Now his lawyer is serving her what she deserves. Good riddance. They actually got one thing wrong. Justin Baldoni is not a feminist. He is a masculinist. He does not preach to women in his podcast. He speaks to men and talks about how to be a better man in this modern age. A gentleman has patience but no good man would allow people ruin his integrity.

[@ysadajose]

your last paragraph is such a fresh perspective. succinctly different from their Nicepool portrayal and to quote blake’s IG post promo for Deadpool “nice men who use feminism as a tool”

[@BarbaraSpence-pu7eu]

very very interesting! thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@s.t.652]

She has something wrong with her and seems to be incapable of taking responsibility and apologizing for anything. Her PR team probably knows better but probably couldn't get her to take their advice.

[@knp01]

They named their first daughter 'James' after RR's father and they did entire press tour about it lmao, I have no idea why anyone would think there isn't some kind of personality disorder involved after a stunt like that. I'm glad people finally see there is something really off.

[@AmyMeyer-h9c]

Yes! Thank you! This is the perfect explanation.

[@Anonymousjuvi]

We need more videos from you!

[@tl214amos4]

Great video! New subscriber ❤

[@IrishTexan09]

Great analysis!

[@jessijuniper7687]

I feel like BL has these reality-check blinders on and from was passed around about RR going full Deadpool on his real life persona this disaster needed to happen. Titanic is sinking. It needed to sink.

[@fascinating666]

He's ruining the dp franchise...the 3rd movie was rubbish. He thinks he is deadpool, and that's funny as.

[@LadyVictoria.]

1.300 million. Yeah, he's ruinning his own personal project.
