[@ViennaDarlingvd]

@@Somegirl811it’s called acting for a reason there is absolutely no reason why someone with no experience of abuse should be able to play the role - it’s not like any actor has experience being in space, or being murdered, or many other scenarios. It was said in this video and in the complaint the theme for the interviews and promotional material was given to them by the distributor, not BL. And honestly, it makes somewhat more sense to me now that I’ve heard the other side. Maybe we should look at the hopeful side of escaping DV instead of always dwelling on the heavy, it might encourage people in DV to see more positives about escape - I have no idea, but it seems like a plausible motivation now even if executed incorrectly. I also find the comment about her age odd - there have been over a decade of complaints from women that being over the age of 35 means you’re suddenly unemployable in Hollywood- I think it’s fantastic that women are able to get roles for younger characters much like men always have been. Now, I don’t care much about Blake Lively, I’ve seen her in exactly one film, but I don’t think your comment makes sense on either point.

[@Somegirl811]

@ViennaDarlingvd I made a lot more points. I only mentioned her age because she was supposed to be playing a woman in her early 20s, so of course that's gonna make it harder to get the look they're going for with her. If anyone mentioned her weight, which I would be shocked if she was really that worried about it and wasn't just piling onto this laundry list, it probably ly because she looks more like a 36 yr old mother than a 22 year old single childless woman. There's nothing wrong with being 36 but... no one has ever complained that women in their late 30s don't get to portray enough 20 yr old characters. Its only when older roles are cast with young actors that annoys women. And yes I agree that actors should be able to portray characters that haven't experienced whatever is in the movie, but most women can at least empathize or imagine what it would feel like and I think she was having trouble with that. These are all things that happened in front of the crew so it's obvious he wasn't intentionally trying to harm her but maybe actually get her to take it more seriously. That's my impression. I don't see anything wrong if you take it out of the perspective of someone who thinks the whole world is obsessed with her.

“Difficult to work with” is also Hollywood code for “won’t do what we want - nudity, etc.” this also happened to Henry Cavill on the set of the Witcher, because he refused to do more nude and sex scenes. He didn’t want to take away from the story he personally liked and make it hyper sexual. The director and writers (women btw) gave interviews mocking him for it. Because the director and writers were women, and because he had dated someone young in the past, it was easy to smear his character. He was labeled too difficult and lost a few roles. It’s an old Hollywood tactic and unfortunately it still works. I felt something was very odd about everyone’s sudden hate towards Blake Lively, even if she’s not someone I follow - I know she’s never really been seen as this horrible. She has a similar personality to her husband and that throws ppl off because women aren’t expected to have humor like that. This complaint explains why she pivoted in interviews - that humor and deflection came out in full force because she was staying with in the bounds of the contract while avoiding compliance to Baldoni’s requests. She’s not a saint, but I do not understand why Baldoni is being worshipped like he is in a lot of comment sections. He connected with this book so much because it’s reflective of his own behavior.

I’m shocked how someone writes anything and people immediately forget the facts. And your double standard is amazing, IDK if he is really a feminist or not, I care about evidence, not appearances. Now, Blake is definitely not feminist or pro survivors. She literally says that Woody Allen is empowering for women.

@MaraMara89 i have no doubt he would use his celebrity to defend his wife. The response to the complaint by Justin's legal team doesn't deny that these HR meetings occurred or that any investigation was made that found her claims to be unwarranted. If your spouse was being harassed it's reasonable you would use whatever power you had including perceived threats that come with celebrity to deter further harrassment. The author of the book also doesn't appear to like Justin so I could see a scenario where she would want the rights to be transferred to someone else.
