Justin Baldoni vs Blake Lively DRAMA, Joaquin Phoenix Quits Movie, Disney Plus Lawsuit Allergy

[@BurcuBabal]

So sorry Grace but for this one, I am on Baldoni's side. Cast do not Show support for Baldoni because Blake & Ryan are tooo powerful. I am looking at the press tours and I've already watched the movie... Justin tried to promote it the right way.

[@awickedformerdisneysinger8445]

People do realize that Colleen Hoover has been criticized in the book space for glamorizing abusive relationships and marketing them as romances. Baldoni has worked on redefining masculinity for years. This is not the time for Blake Lively to be saying "go in your florals" to this kind of movie. It's not about men vs. women, it's about the message getting completely lost.

[@wheelstoadventure]

You know I’ve read that and I always found it somewhat curious because when you talk to women, including victims about the idea or question why did you stay? How could you not known? the premise is always he fooled me. he was so nice. He was so sweet he was all positive things and swept me off my feet and then all of a sudden he turned into a monster. Now, people who work with domestic violence victims know that’s not the actual truth and reality, but the author literally took a vantage of the fantasy a lot of women paint in their mind about being fooled.

Who knows what's really going on with the Lively and Baldoni situation but what I will say is I've been impressed over the years with how Baldoni has approached talking about mental health, struggles with body dysmorphia, domestic violence and masculinity. He seems like a stand-up guy from that perspective. Hope everybody can move past this chapter and get on with their careers.

Yes, because Justin has been talking about the domestic violence, unlike Blake who is not talking about it instead she’s not taking it seriously which is very disrespectful

[@TN-cn8kk]

I’ve followed Baldoni since I saw his TEDTalk about toxic masculinity. He has a podcast called “man up” that challenges normalised toxic male behaviours and has a range of guests. Honestly from that I feel like he’d lead his choices with more intention, whereas what I’ve seen of Lively… she seems a bit blasé in everything she does .

[@TN-cn8kk]

also with that “fat shaming” story, I heard that (haha again all speculative) that Baldoni merely asked an on set trainer how much she weighs cos he had a scene where he had to pick her up and he’s had back problems, he was just asking per safety.

Exactly I hate to say this actually I don’t hate to say it, but it’s true the industry and many people across the country want to act like that side of the fence is as normal as what nature intended and that people shouldn’t see a difference. Therefore actors shouldn’t have a problem, playing gay roles, and kissing another dude or whatever the case may be and that is nonsense and it always has been nonsense.

The way I see it regarding the It end with us movie situation, the cast and the author of the book would side with Blake and Ryan since they are a very powerful couple in Hollywood right now, I see a power couple doing what they do best using their power in the industry to try to destroy someone that obviously is not that famous 🤷🏽‍♀️ its just my opinion. As well the interviews that Blake has given promoting this film are so disappointing, like are you really going to behave like that promoting a movie that has such a sensitive theme like DV.

[@felbombling3199]

That sounds perfectly reasonable until you factor in the price tag of the movie and promotion at anywhere between $25-$35 million dollars. I haven't read the book, but the trailers made it painfully obvious that the movie would depict DV. If Lively, a producer, has to go out there and tell people that the movie has all sorts of elements to it to draw audiences in, so be it. Baldoni seems like a stand up guy and talks up the DV aspect of the film, outside of his advocacy. That is great, too, but perhaps not great for ticket sales. At the end of the day the movie business is just that, business.

That’s not what people are saying people are mostly just pointing out the fact that he is actually talking about domestic violence whilst Blake isn’t she isn’t taking it seriously therefore she is being disrespectful

[@MarisolFerreiraMarysoul]

11:58 I think that is the problem... The visuals get skewed when you get the power of Hubby's image into this. Blake was loving every bit of her, Swfitting around, women supporting women, doing her own flower thing, but the moment RR appeared, even with all good intentions, and let's make this a Oppenheimer/Barbie summer, wife of mine. All of this can be, imho, be resolved if cast and author open up about what really is going on.

[@cinecraze6240]

Blake isn’t a good enough actress to act like she’s the it lady.

Just cancelled my disney+ subscription after hearing this story

[@jasonluvisi]

EVERY place I have ever taken my kids locally here in AZ has an arbitration clause. If you want them to be able to go to these places... they ALL make you agree that you cannot sue them. This is very common, unfortunately. But the reality is... if every company got sued every time an employee made a mistake that negatively impacted a customer... no business would survive. There are likely dozens of potential legal liabilites DAILY at these theme parks. Of course not all of them involve death... but without this clause everybody would sue for everything.

This is some juicy tea, Grace!!! Much love, hope all is well with you Queen!🫶🏻🥰

[@animecrackreview254]

Bruh, I didn’t know Ryan got married on a plantation😹 That takes some balls, love the dude even more😹😹 Respect for him just went up, I wish I knew this earlier😹

[@graveperil2169]

If this makes you think you need to read a contract before signing it, welcome to being an adult

[@ethanradd]

It's slightly amusing listening to Grace lament the plight of blonde white women, the real victims 😄

[@thats_suber]

So weird! I was like, “is that a thing”?

[@joecamps1119]

23:00 I remember Grace reporting on Phoenix pulling out of Doctor Strange at the 11th hour when Feige was going to introduce him at Comic Con.

[@bf5209]

He was supposed to be dr. Strange?! And Benedict cumberbatch wasnt the first choice?!.wow.

[@Lukesek20]

💯 On Baldoni’s side!! If everyone in Hollywood hates him, he must have done something right

[@OfficialMyDo]

What a dumb take lol

[@lucasorlando99]

ahhhh ok🥴

[@Dhhtyu4566]

Blake is trying to have her scooter Braun moment but it’s not working

[@jonnyfendi2003]

Dont worry she will be photographed with Taylor Swift and the swifties wearing their friendship bracelets will come out in full force to defend her…

[@TurnyMac]

I don’t know if you’ll see this Grace but your line about “Joe Morton always makin me cry” was such a great callback because the first video i saw of yours that made me a super fan was your review of Justice League and you said that exact line with such passion as you were literally crying

[@Sandra-ic7kc]

We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday in the Blue Bayou at Disneyland , and we had to ask about a certain ingredients my husband cannot eat (not an allergy)The waiter went to ask the chef just to make sure it was safe for him to eat it. My heart goes out to the family 🙏🏼

[@ElizabethArmstrong-zn8np]

Hi Grace, whew! What a stream! I have experience working in a restaurant that had a prominent gluten free section of the menu. The restaurant had a separate, small food prep room to prepare the gluten free food. They did this to prevent cross contamination. Celiac Disease can be deadly when gluten is ingested by someone living with this illness. So, I’m wondering if it was cross contamination in the very unfortunate events that happened in Disney’s restaurant.

[@llllila]

Apparently the content was too high for the epi pen...

[@Lawrence_GToo]

22:33 As actors they could have acted on the red carpet for an hour.

[@JoeyAustin-ul1qb]

Maybe they still are acting? Nothing sells quite as well as controversy.

[@jjjones8609]

Both Justin and blake should just keep quite or at the least release a joint statement to stop the gossip. In order to maintain box office sales.

[@JoeyAustin-ul1qb]

The gossip (drama) is what is driving up box office sales so maybe it is all really just a marketing ploy. Controversy sells.

[@jjjones8609]

In fighting is not good for sales.

[@gagastan4048]

Joker 2 audience doesn’t care about Joaquin dropping out of an LGBT film.

[@demijames2865]

Still people support Disney Parks. It’s just amazing.

[@nattorres]

Woah. Today’s live stream felt a little heavy. My condolences to the gentleman that lost his wife due to an allergic reaction. Blessings everyone ✨💚

[@Brv117]

It’s important to note that this restaurant is not owned or operated by Disney. It’s a third party who pays rent to operate at Disney Springs. I’m confused as to why the husband is suing Disney in the first place and not the restaurant owners. The Disney+ clause is very scary, though.

[@jaidoncrawford1163]

How can we have sides when we know next to nothing 😂

[@leonthesleepy]

Joaquin Phoenix always seemed like a great actor, but kinda a weird guy, and a little pretentious. Not surprised that he bolted at the last minute, but really sad to hear how the crew is out of a job now.

[@JScottGaribay]

Post-Disney Trip Depression? Wheh - that is a First World Problem. Just simply recognize how rich your life is to have those kind of problems...

[@CJM2702]

U must be fun at parties. Take it u haven’t been able to have a Disney trip in a while?

[@ThorTwinkle]

I honestly don't take in consideration the fact that Blake, the cast and the author stopped following Jacob Baldon on socials. It reminds me of when R&B and other friends of Taylor did the same with Joe Alwyn. Everyone was speculating that Joe must have done something TERRIBLE for them to unfollow him and then it turned out he was "only guilty" of being depressed... For Joaquin, I don't really care for him but I was looking forward to the movie because it seemed interesting. I'm disappointed it's getting cancelled. Also, after the comment of the producer about gay vs straight actors I definitely believe Joaquin got cold feet because of how explicit the movie was supposed to be. But I find it ironic since the producers said that Joaquin was the one to push for it to be so explicit 😭

[@jillvalley212416]

Hi Grace, just wanted to say you did such a great job covering these topics and I love your channel.

[@j2174]

Grace, James Gunn has apparently only had 1 day of reshoots total for his last two or three films (this includes Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy 3)

[@nickolasmarmaras]

SPOILER ALERT There was a comment made by NicePool in Deadpool and Wolverine about Lady Deadpool giving birth recently and having a flat tummy at no time

[@mdavisfilms]

All these situations are so truly disheartening 😞 but you did a great job covering them Grace. Looking forward to better times

[@stannisdamannis4706]

I feel like there has to be more to the Joaquin story. If the scenes were real too graphic… why not just rewrite them last minute or shoot theme differently. So close to shooting im having a hard time imagining how they couldn’t come to a compromise.
