It depends on which side of the internet you're on, really. I'm personally in favor of Justin because his team has clearly been more transparent with evidence while Blake's side has edited theirs heavily. But a lot of people are on her side because they don't even know he countered.

As a DV survivor and a sexual assault victim/survivor when the pr was going on for this movie the way Blake Lively and cast were promoting it was absolutely horrible.

I was so confused about florals representing DV, because I couldn't find anything about florals as a generic. It seems like "florals" is a giant target for identifying potential victims when they may want to wear a small item of support/representation. My understanding from those who do work with those in the DV community, keeping the low profile or no profile is a high priority.

[@EEmB]

​@@CatInWonderlands "Wear your florals" wasn't deeper than that Blake's character "Lily Blossom Bloom" owns a flower shop in the movie. That was it. No deep meaning, no representation of DV, nothing.

[@leslieacoca5876]

Hair carer and drinks.

[@jazzyg530]

Exactly. And that hair care line was criminal. People also have terrible reviews for the alcohol. And considering she doesn't drink and alcohol's role in many domestic violence cases makes it a terrible project to promote it during the PR tour. Very selfish, tone def, greedy and completely lacking empathy. It makes me think she isn't very intelligent because it just doesn't give good optics, even if she doesn't actually care about anything but money, it's a bad branding move.

[@veebee3837]

Blake's lawsuit is very telling. It focuses heavily on how Justin's team allegedly used PR to damage her image as a way to discredit her, suggesting that by ruining her reputation, people would be less likely to believe her sexual abuse allegations against Justin. This makes her lawsuit seem more centered on the negative press she received during the movie’s press tour rather than on addressing or speaking out against sexual abuse itself. If she truly experienced the sexual misconduct she alleges, she likely wouldn’t focus on blaming Justin for the backlash. Her priority would presumably be addressing the misconduct itself, rather than trying to tie him to the negative press.

[@e.starling141]

I’m so curious to see how this plays out. I just have a feeling that Blake and Ryan miscalculated and underestimated Justin. Possibly assuming he was this fake feminist who didn’t actually care about women’s DV, and also assuming he was talking crap about her all the time behind her back, trying to ruin her. And so now seeing that Justin apparently really did care about female survivors and that he wasn’t being vindictive behind the scenes and trying to ruin her reputation, Blake has to be slowly dying on the inside. If his texts and other communications only show what his lawyer is asserting, she really screwed herself. And her lawsuit against him will be one of the most epic fails.

[@Frisco42]

Blake Lively is no victim. Her and Ryan always had the upper hand in this production and in Hollywood. None of what she said rings true. I felt from day one, that there had to be so much more to this story. Her reputation and personality just don’t vibe with someone who would let this happen. Some people just can’t look at this objectively because they want to support women, but this makes it actually worse for real victims. I hope he gets redeemed.

[@florencehaber9847]

Any woman who believes woman allegations just because they are women are naive, and ignorant. They sound like they are twelve years old. Justin already provided texts, a screen shot and context to Blake's allegation and Justin's attorney will be suing BL, RR, her publicist and his former publicist and providing all documents, many more texts and emails proving that Blake's allegations are false. Blake's lawsuit after her complaint has no evidence against Justin. In law, you need evidence.

[@flyinbirdy21]

@Frisco42 none of what she said rings true? His lawyer literally confirmed there was a meeting where JB signed the list of requirements she indicated in her lawsuit. Almost all the points listed in her lawsuit regarding the harassment could be proven with the video evidences, so let's see, shall we? And regarding the retaliation and the smear campaign, it is already proven and all the hate comments here are evidences that it was wildly successful.

I appreciate you standing by and hearing out all sides before deciding either side is in the wrong here.

Now that we’re here after that NYT article, I think we’ll see what Baldoni’s defense is and have to just keep an open mind and see how it all plays out. The difference in Depp/Heard was Depp was the bigger star by far. Here, Lively took the big first public shot, on Baldoni who is less influential and has everything to lose. Now I think he will fight this to the end and we’ll have to all read hundreds of pages of catty convos between P.R. people until everyone’s actually deposed

[@lindseystein9676]

There are all kinds of nuance involved, making it hard to leave. But I am NOT suggesting she was an actual victim here or that Baldoni was abusive. It is my suspicion that BL came onto set with DIVA demands and her husband to pressure them into bending to her, and Baldoni fighting back when he needed to to preserve the integrity of the subject matter of the film. BL has a long history of mean-girl behaviour and bullying, tone deafness & racism. She and her husband are problematic.

[@elizabethskolnick7753]

NY Times suit is to get disclosure not a settlement. Past actions of Lively speak to past PATTERN of bullying behavior of others Interviews I've seen of her support this! & are very much relevant proof to a civil case judgment. Takeover of the film (future rights?), undermining of his future working opportunities, compromise of his standing as being committed to women's issues well before this and humiliating shut out of premiere/credit (pain & suffering) all will be weighed by a jury in their verdict. Expect a massive one for him.

[@cheerpedge41]

Yes and people had 48+ hours after she filed her suit to come out of the woodwork with similar stories about him. They did not!

[@Aberdonianforlife]

I've seen Lively in interviews where she behaves horribly. She's mean, condescending and arrogant. If she doesn't like her public persona, perhaps she could practice being a good person. She's a bully.

[@alisonfisher8383]

What baffles and angers me is the only time that Sony stepped in at any time was when they gave notes on Blakely‘s dress and wanted her dress to be sexier because her dress the way she was dressed, was not reviewing well. Why would Sony not step in if all these alleged complaints were being made but step in on the fact that a charactercostume was not testing well at all?

[@JudiL-f4v]

I think she sent him to the basement because she wanted the spotlight on her. Sexual harassment is an excuse she used. Horrific!😮

THIS. It really makes me sick. But it goes to show that the power imbalance isn't always working against the woman in the situation.

[@NonnieAnn]

Does anyone else on the chat think that this self centered behavior isn't uncommon in entertainers? I just think that entertainers are too honored in our society. They aren't heroes. Heroes are parents, teachers, first responders, military, medical teams especially nurses. Yes, even in these groups there are bad people, but for the most part, they are the real heroes.

Well, we will have to see how this all plays out. In my opinion, if Blake Lively is embellishing and/or lying about the circumstances, she will be ruined just as Amber Heard is ruined.

[@hxj880]

This is why I was so dubious about the allegations by BL. Sexual harassment is about power. BL and RR have so much money and power.

[@deed5909]

But how can she say she couldn't be around him bc he Sexually harassed her when she Continued working with him after she said it happened to Sony? And why did she refuse the intimacy coordinator? , you have to understand she is more famous, more rich, she has more Hollywood status, so she could walked out without losing a penny where Justin invested 5 years into this Project he spent millions, he's not as powerful rich and famous as her so she had the upper hand and she used that to her advantage and she did exactly what her husband did with the Deadpool where he took from the original director so she's not some poor woman that was too scared to speak up, if you see her interviews she is very rude outspoken for herself although she I mean she's not some poor defenceless actress so she wanted to have more say in films and she saw one opportunity and she took from him The reason she did is bc she hijacked the whole movie but her reputation got ruined!

[@sallycinnamon5370]

She didn’t refuse the intimacy coordinator. What are you even talking about?

[@mochacashmere]

@@sallycinnamon5370 Yes she did. Justin had to take notes during his meeting with the IC and come deliver the information to her. There are text messages in JB's complaint to corroborate that.

[@sallycinnamon5370]

@ It doesn’t say that in the text messages. He offers a meet and greet and then says that she declined to work on the scenes with the IC. That is not what was asked to her. Absolute BS and his texts show exactly what he asked her. He didn’t not offer a work session…he offered to let her meet them with NO MENTION of preproduction work shopping which is VERY different. Then the other person doesn’t say we’ll have the IC run her through the plan when we arrive on set. No…”you will have to show her what you guys come up with.” Then he goes and works on the sex scene with her and doesn’t bring the IC with him. At that point there is NO WAY that he thought that she didn’t want to work on the sex scenes and there is no evidence that he offered or that she declined the IC to be there. Shady AF. He is the director. If he was just being lazy and that is what made the situation difficult…then fine. But then he deserved her criticism. He knew and IC should be there and he didn’t bring them…that is on them.

The one thing in her complaint made me very suspicious was that part about him never again mentioning her dead father. Sounds creepy, right? Well, she is a nepo baby, her dad was an actor and acting coach. I bet JB wanted to get on her good side and said something nice about her dad. And she turned it against him.

Yeah, if that got him in trouble I'd be screwed. Sounds like Blake is taking every possible little thing and wanted to turn it into something else. When you put it all together it looks whack. I'm curious what will come of all this because I think BL and RR have dug their heels in.

[@rajeevvasisht89]

Thanks Peter brilliant as always

[@lillianlrogue9480]

I’m fairly sure it was in Justin Baldoni’s law suit that he didn’t see that list of complaints until around the same point everyone else did when it was posted at Christmas. And to my understanding the meeting that took place in Ryan R’s condo was mainly about the “fat shaming” complaint that Blake had made and discussed with her husband. I don’t know for certain as I wasn’t there. That’s just what I got from reading both documents fully.

[@lillianlrogue9480]

Additionally from the information I’ve read and come across while following this. It seems more that what Baldoni was agreeing to throughout the process of filming was giving Blake and her husband more and more control as Blake was threatening to quit all together otherwise. Baldoni’s text about continuing to take the high road seemed to be more so regarding this and his resolve to get this movie finished and out the best way possible even if he had to make a lot of compromises or more like sacrifices in the creative process more than anything related to SH. When you look at it from that perspective, it makes more sense why she might come out with the list of claims of anything she can twist or frame in a way to make him look bad and herself as a victim in the public’s perception. I think this is why so many people instinctively found the timing of her complaint document coming out as suspicious. It does say something. The initial complaint that was put out by the Times never needed to be seen as factual in any legal sense. What she actually ended up filing could have been different and left out most of those complaints. Of course we don’t know at this point. We can put together all of the information we have and come to some realistic and logical conclusions on some key matters however.

[@flyinbirdy21]

His lawyer just said during the interview that JB reviewed the list of requirements on the meeting with Ryan Reynolds present.

[@shortyp1000]

JB allowed BL to take more control bc Sony conceded to her too. Sony has the most power here.

Interestingly, just how is it that Ryan Reynolds and family can joke around and make sexual comedic innuendos towards Brandon Sklener and they don't consider that sexual harrasment ? why was that type of humor acceptable and not offensive to Ryan Reynolds & Brandon Sklener??? How are Reynolds and Blake Lively so righteous and conservative now towards Baldoni?? plzzzzz ........ The double standards and hyprocrisy they represent are an understatement !

[@margote7965]

I watched a video from the lady who did the bump interview. She had in a young lady cited by Lively as participating in the smear campaign. She said she went to a screening and Justin was lovely. She did a video where she was critical of Lively. As xhe is in the complaint they should be able to call her to refute she was in any kind of smear campaign.

[@Rose28r]

Was this the Nikki tiktok? My pov, it more than her tiktok proved that he was promoting the movie as DV when Blake and others were promoting the movie as instructed in their contract. So not that Nikki participated in the smear campaign (unwillingly imo) but JB knew what he was doing to manipulate the public view where he looks good and Blake looks bad.

[@lilyjoseph2989]

Please explain to me, why she didn’t file against him in the first place? Could it be that she didnt want to sit for deposition, under oath? Her goal was to attack his reputation, ruin his career while thinking that she could add the *DV* survivor to her resume, just like she insisted on receiving a producer credit without being qualified and not doing any of the work. She’s went fired the costume designer and refused to talk with the intimacy coordinator, which Justin proved. As for all the crew and other actors, they all look she’ll shocked in interviews because they know how toxic and mean she is, and not wanting to go up against her and Ryan. They knew they would be blacklisted and would never work again in the industry. Her motive is completely clear. She wants the power. You don’t act in a Woody Allen film, think he’s a genius and be friends with Harvey Weinstein, and cry SA . She is the aggressor.

[@jaguar5455]

I bet in hindsight JB would have let BL part ways when he was accused of “fat shaming” by asking his trainer if he could safely lift her during said scene due to his back condition, not to mention when BL said they could rehearse lines as she was pumping. No one in their right mind would consider her inviting him in the trailer during her pumping as SH.

[@Ania-cd2sh]

[@karenoneill2748]

This movie wasn’t close to what it’s like to experience DV. No woman would leave like that, just one easy conversation after the HUGE emotion you feel after having a baby? Nope… she would have gone back, thought he would be kind because of the baby…. If she REALLY wanted to leave, she would need to take huge precautions. I’ve been there.. My daughter nearly died from DV and is permanently disabled. This movie just pissed those of us who have been through this off. Blake’s just a greedy, ugly rich girl. She’s not even a good actress!

[@TM-wk4qu]

Exactly. Leaving is the most dangerous time of all in a DV situation...it takes careful and safe planning to do so without being hurt (or even killed).

[@TM-wk4qu]

And yes he would be kind at first because of the.m baby, but really as manipulation. And then the DV would either creep back in, or come full force after being just kind enough to manipulate the other into staying, enough to manipulate the other into believing it wouldn't happen again, etc.

[@sarahsalamanca4367]

That’s the different from BL from Justin. His idea was to put out a good movie to move people’s heart in which he invested 5 years.
