Blake lively

It’s certainly a ‘win’ for JB when BL has 10 out of 13 claims dismissed by the judge.

If I was BL I’d be more than a little concerned that I have a lawyer problem.

He did.

I did. And it’s a big win for JB. I’m not a fan of either, but Lively’s lawyers and Lively herself haven’t really done their homework here, have they?

It’s odd that JB didn’t hire an intimacy coordinator, especially given the subject matter of the film. If he had, it would have prevented a lot of these issues for both parties. Neither of them seem particularly likeable and they both come off as manipulative with the way they have tried to court public opinion. Whatever the truth is, this is unlikely to be helpful to their careers.

Did you even read the article?

For one, he said, harassment claims Lively brought against Baldoni under California law did not hold up because the filming - where the misconduct allegedly occurred - took place in New Jersey.
"None of these acts or occurrences provides the 'substantial connection' to California needed to sustain Lively's sexual harassment claims," Liman wrote.
The judge also said Lively was ineligible to bring certain claims of harassment and retaliation because she was an independent contractor rather than an employee.

These are technicalities. The Judge didn’t say harassment didn’t happen.

massive win for Baldoni!

It's been rampant on X the last few days. I've blocked so many.

Because of her looks and who she’s dated

The anti Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds PR machine has been out in force. Trolls got to earn their money I suppose but god it’s tedious, anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that most of these type posts make no logical sense, and some are laugh out loud rubbish. I seem to have hit automatic eye roll when I read them.

What have I believed someone wouldn’t do? Be a long term partner of Harvey Weinstein? Yes I do not believe Blake and HW were in a relationship. I also don’t think she is a tier above anyone else - I’d think the same if they were Blake and Harvey from down the local pub.

Believing someone wouldn’t do something because xyz their looks their fame who they’ve dated blah blah blah. Feeding into the narrative these people are a tier above everyone else

People like me are part of what problem?

Yeah one of the most beautiful women in the world is pushing it 😂

One of the most beautiful women in the world - calm down
So what that she dated these three men? It's people like you who are the problem. Thinking these people are Gods and Goddesses. PB seems ok, but you do know he is just a man who shits and farts like the rest of us? LD and RR are not good men. So why is it supposed to impress us that she dated them? Also don't be so naive to think that just because someone is soooooooo beautiful (apparently) they wouldn't be involved with someone for clout and fame and opportunity.

Oh stop it 😂
What a load of old codswallop.

That is an interesting article - it now seems that it was quite ahead of its time !

Ah it's all coming out now about Blake and Ryan. Good on Justin for fighting back.

With the Harvey Weinstein thing, its not looks, it's about power and getting that meteoric rise to the top including Blake who was allegedly the longer term secret partner alongside Gwyneth, Jennifer Lawrence, Olivia Wilde, Sienna Miller, Emma Watson, Michelle Williams to name a few. She was the most beautiful of the lot. Olivia Wilde was actually named in a case involving him. Yes, he was rightly charged but there were always those who knew what he was like and wanted that Oscar or to be successful at any cost. BL and RR are known for being very ruthless and its only coming out now. Blake and Gwyneth's hand was forced when HW got arrested as they had to denounce him in public.

FWIW I think people are missing the point when they say that being a mean girl doesn't mean she can't be a victim.

People bring up the fact she is a "mean girl"/manipulative to suggest the fact that she could in fact be lying or exaggerating the situation to her advantage. To show the type of character she is.

I have seen some utterly batshit stuff in mumsnet in my time. However, the suggestion that Blake Lively, one of the most beautiful women in the world, who has been in relationships with Penn Badgley, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Reynolds was the long term partner of HARVEY WEINSTEIN takes the absolute biscuit 🤣🤣🤣

I’m so surprised the amount of support bl and rr have on here! It’s scary

I read this is a PR war dressed up as a legal fight. They both look ridiculous though. The recently released voice message by Baloney is cringe. The whole thing of BL using Ryan and TS is so grabby and climber and cringe. She’s then gone on a huge rant about her artistic license. He’s then grovelled and basically French kissed her starfish to keep things on track. I meant it’s like two egos that think they’re changing the world or something.

CO is very good at painting a black and white opinion. The reality will be much more nuanced , surely.

I found her take on things believable.
Why invite someone into into your trailer while you are pumping if you feel so sexually harassed? 🙄 Or to your house and take pictures of then with your young baby…. If he is so evil?

That hasn’t convinced me of anything. COs whole schtick is about being provocative so it’s a pinch of salt really.
