Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Footage Released! Who is Telling the Truth? | THE NATION

[@larkin2662]

I don't think Justin Baldoni would have ever filed a lawsuit if Blake Lively hadn't filed hers. While I recognize Justin's lawyer may be padding his lawsuit, I do think the intimidation factor from Justin Baldoni's point-of-view with Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds is solid. Despite I do believe Taylor is also a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ryan is a different story. If all this boils down to Blake bullying Justin for the franchise rights, I hope Justin settles for a huge amount. I hate bullies, I don't care if it's coming from a man or woman. And I hate it when the bullies win. Justin is right to stand up for himself. I also don't see this going to court and there will be a settlement.

[@jazzyg530]

And Blake claimed there was no audio. Maybe she wasn't aware that his mic was on. I don't trust Blake because she has been lying this whole time. I hope he wins. She is terrible and I suspect Ryan is guilty as well.

[@ona_tzar]

Lol. Well, she was referring to what the scene entailed. In the movie, there is no dialogue in this scene, and you do not hear them talking. That's what she was referring to- however it's ironic that she went out of her way to say there was no dialogue in the scene, but it's she herself who kept insisting to 'pretend talk' for the scene.

[@farrentaff7604]

What Blake has done is a HUGE injustice to any person who’s dealt with harassment. The way she promoted a DV movie as a “wear your florals” rom-com was disgusting at best. She’s a shallow mean girl who has a bunch of built up karma being thrown her way. As a DV survivor myself, I’ll never forgive or forget what she did with this movie.

[@JohnRochaSays]

I respect your POV and can absolutely see where you are coming from.

[@angelac3788]

I really appreciate you emphasizing we should listen to all women. That being said, I've seen nothing to prove harassment or retaliation. As an actual victim of abuse and DARVO, it infuriates me when the abuser/manipulator uses the language of our recovery and attempts to gaslight us into thinking we can't trust our own eyes and ears.

[@JohnRochaSays]

I respect that, Angela, and thanks for your words of personal experience here. I agree with your points.

[@shuriwakanda]

I think you're a little bias about Blake. Justin is not making a big deal he's trying to defend himself

[@JohnRochaSays]

@@shuriwakandaHaha! For every one of you who says I’m defending Blake, I’ve got someone else accusing me of defending Justin. I’m doing it right if both sides think I’m biased. It means I’m presenting a well rounded and full argument about what happened here. Also, filing a $400M lawsuit is the definition of making a BIG DEAL.

[@JSTO-ne6it]

I think his “body shaming” accusation is about holding a mirror up to her accusations to show how pointless this is. In other words, both accusations are open to interpretation depending on context. It seems like these were two people who assumed mutual trust and understanding and in that context, he’s doing what he thinks is right for the scene and she’s joking about his nose. Take away the trust and understanding and add a lawsuit and it’s sexual harassment and body shaming. If she was uncomfortable with him or without an intimacy coordinator, she should’ve made that clear before shooting the scene-she had no issue calling a lot of other shots. If anything, the power dynamic is in her favour.

[@carol-l8u]

Of course it is. Blake made fun of my schnauzer, but because I'm an adult, instead of lying, manipulating or even overreacting, I just made a joke and laughed it off even thought I'm sensitive about my nose. It was making a point. Anyway, I don't believe she really was upset in any way, it was just something her and Ryan could use to bully, and harass and play the victim and use as a base to let them know she was more than willing to create accusations against them out of thin air if she didn't get her way on everything.

[@ladydimorris29]

Why would you blame Baldoni, he doesn't have anything to do with this in the first place, he was compelled to defend himself when she accused him of these horrendous allegations,

[@JohnRochaSays]

I didn't blame anyone. I presented all the sides of this issue. If you watched the whole thing, you'll see that it looks like this is absolutely a battle over a franchise. Both sides are overstating their claims to protect themselves.

@@JohnRochaSays sure but can you tell me what he is overstating

[@carol-l8u]

@@JohnRochaSays How dumb do you think the public are? We are adults, we can see that the lawyers stated things in a certain way for their own reasons. That said, it's clear Blake Lively is a liar. Justin has receipts, on the other hand, Blake's claims have been repeatedly been exposed as lies. We are allowed to believe our own eyes and ears. The truth is, if Justin was a female and Blake was a male, with this amount of evidence and with Blake being shown to have repeatedly have lied, Blake would not still have people saying, golly we're too scared to call it like it is because Blake is a man. When did it become necessary for people to play these games? If Blake has the proof, she needs to show it. She's the one who dragged this out into the public eye and involved the public, so given she feels free to lie to the public, she isn't owed us pretending to believe her. Plus, Justin own what he bought the rights to, no one has the right to steal that from him.

[@Xxmilkshake202xX]

Justin’s lawyer was playing devil’s advocate by saying Justin wasn’t body-shaming Blake but if she concerned that body-shaming, then what she said about his nose would also constitute.

How did he body shame her?

[@JohnRochaSays]

No he wasn’t. Here. Get educated on this. Justin Baldoni claims Blake Lively made fun of his nose, suggested he ‘get plastic surgery’ while filming ‘It Ends With Us’ pagesix.com/2025/01/16/celebrity-news/justin-baldoni-claims-blake-lively-made-fun-of-his-nose-suggested-he-get-plastic-surgery-while-filming-it-ends-with-us/

[@carol-l8u]

@@JohnRochaSays LOL, we've all seen the film where she said they could take some time off for his to take care of his big nose. He didn't act like a child, he laughed it off, but he has been very vocal about how much his nose bothered him. Clearly the communication back and forth between Justin and Blake shows he went out of his way to support any insecurities she had. Taylor Swift was specifically called into the room to carry on to Justin about how brilliant she thought Blake's work was, even thought Blake later claimed Ryan actually wrote it, and then Ryan was called into the room to do the exact same thing. It may have been Ryan first and Taylor second, but it was clear given they were giving the same spiel, it was indeed planned. Plus apparently both Ryan and Taylor were dressed up as Furries in fluffy Dragon costumes and kept calling Blake Mommy. I can't swear on that last one, but that's the impression I got.

[@JohnRochaSays]

@@carol-l8u You have no basis for any of this other than Justin’s word. You taking that as stone cold fact is a bit foolish. You weren’t in the room. You have no idea who came in first or second or if it was a set up. You’re just choosing to believe what you want to believe and I was just trying to lay out all the possibilities.

[@sn.m]

Blake told Justin to fix his nose. There is a nice video of it - not Justin's words. Justin has a bad back and needed to know her weight - he needed surgery for his back. He has the right to safeguard his health. When she was bothered about her postpartum weight, he told her not to worry and that they would shoot some scenes towards the end.

[@chachabunny123ut]

The issue here is that she’s straight up directing. That’s not what you do as an actor. Yes, you can offer ideas, but she won’t stop talking and listen.

[@dtaa1222]

I think Justin should keep going until his name clear. being accused of SH is no joke. In hollywood, if you are not clear of the accusation, he don't have any career left. Even JD failed to clear his name like it use to. Still people believe that he capable of abusing woman

[@johnr8095]

she may have felt uncomfortable,but they are supposed to be filming a scene where two people who are in love are dancing. He is playing the part the way someone who is in love with someone would play it. If she was that unconformatable she shouldnt have done the scene. and she should been more forceful when she expressed her discomfort. Beucase he had no indication given to him that he crossed a line. certainly none that I can see. and if she never expresses it to him how would he know if he crossed that line or not?

[@audreyhanson7695]

@@johnr8095 that’s what makes it not sexual harassment

[@jennydefran]

Exactly. And he's playing an intense predator who abuses women. He's supposed to be intense when he's wrapping her in. Does she not understand acting? It's obvious she didn't read the book and wanted to create her own rom com.

[@carol-l8u]

She had no problem refusing to not follow direction when they said they didn't want her to talk so they could get the shot and be done with it. They had to pull Justin aside and tell him to say what it took to get her to stop talking because she wouldn't listen to them. That's why Justin tried to convince her by saying he and his wife wouldn't talk, sometimes they would just look into each other's eyes because they were in love.

[@audreyhanson7695]

@@jennydefran who would want to act with her as a male actor now since she gets so uncomfortable doing a romantic scene

[@jennydefran]

@@audreyhanson7695 She is a huge liability now. She has done much more in other movies so I'm just not buying this story given all the evidence. She had no issues in 'The Town' and she was very, very young. (Most likely bc she had slept with her married co-star). All of the evidence screams extortion for the rites and thus, total creative control and monetary gain. We shall see what happens!

[@Izzyouable]

It's annoying when people misrepresent facts. He never claimed that he FELT body shamed. I also don't see what you find so offensive about saying that the reason Jenny Slater got hired to play his sister is because they have the same nose. What's dispariaging about that? Like chill out. You're making the "nose shaming" a bigger deal than what it was.

[@JohnRochaSays]

Nope. You’re wrong. He absolutely is accusing her of making fun of bs nose and needing plastic surgery. I hate when people misrepresent facts. Here.

It’s out of line.

[@Izzyouable]

​@@JohnRochaSays This is funny to me. You're pointing to an article that takes a quote from the lawsuit out of context. 95. While on the one hand Lively accuses Baldoni of making comments about her appearance, on the other she made derogatory comments about Baldoni's appearance, telling him he should undergo rhinoplasty (a nose job) - something Baldoni has publicly expressed insecurities about and has discussed on an episode of his podcast, Man enough, exploring the topic og body dysmorphia. Lively's comment about Baldoni's nose is also captured on camera. Baldoni, rather than write down a list of grievances against Lively, brushed it off and moved on with the scene. This is actually from the lawsuit. Where does it say he felt offended? It's brought up to point out her hypocrisy.

The cast wasn't against him until Blake and Ryan made it clear, him or us and we have the power and we are the celebrities and you will benefit from coming with us. I'm sure Blake fed them all sorts of nonsense as well to make it easier for them to jump ship and do the wrong thing so they could delude themselves they weren't a shameful as they really are.

[@TheNamekianClown]

I'm open to listening to evidence from both sides, and the most charitable read on this footage for Blake is that she's just a control freak that won't listen to her director. The worst thing Justin does is a bad joke at the expence of a 3rd party. Jenny Slate has a stronger case against him for slander than Blake does. To the "cute" thing, it comes off strongly to me that she feels the word is condescending when it felt like he was just trying to give a complement. It comes off as someone who always hears what other people say as an attack no matter what.

[@JohnRochaSays]

Yes. I think I agree with that. She seemed to take offense unnecessarily as if he was trying to infantilize her when he was trying to compliment them. I do think she is someone who has fought to be taken seriously as a performer and is rarely taken as such.
