Blake lively

What kind of vibes did Johnny Depp give you from his text messages about Amber Heard OP?

I strongly suspect JBs legal team are nearly all male, or certainly led by a man. It would explain why they think the footage is more damning of BL. I feel if a woman or a few women had seen the footage they may have advised against releasing it.

I feel quite embarrassed for people who say Blake Lively has “Amber Heard vibes”. Literally the same people were hired to smear both women and numpties have fallen hook line and sinker for it. I’d be mortified to be so demonstrably gullible.

Justin Baldoni is a creep who had to sign a contract saying he wouldn’t walk in on Blake Lovely’s dressing room, stop talking about his sex life and stop sexually harassing women. How does a video disprove that?

He wouldn't have hired the PR firm that he did, who went to such great lengths to destroy her in the public image, if he wasn't trying to hide something.

An abuser always discredits their victim, often trying to get ahead of the game before they come out with their story.

He is the definition of a "nice guy" and I feel concerned for those who think his strategy that mirrors Johnny Depp is what... A coincidence?

He even sends his proposal and wedding letting everyone know what a "good guy" he is. It is creepy and narcissistic.

FFS @laurwalsh I really hope you don’t have daughters.

She’s not being unprofessional and giving him directions - she’s trying to subtly steer him away from unchoreographed and unwanted physical contact.

And “compliments” in this scenario are a bit like wolf whistles- are we to be flattered by them? If anyone’s being unprofessional it’s clearly JB.

And as for JB “keeping receipts” - are you 15?

Amber Heard vibes??

I think you need to do a bit more research into that case.

Both have got expensive PRs working away spinning their narratives.

This.

I believe her.

On the DV side, Blake went with the promotional angle decided by the movie company. Rightly or wrongly.

Baldoni 's sympathy for DV was a calculated move to 1. explain the rift between him and the other cast members(not just Lively) and 2. To garner as much support and sympathy.

One is , at worst stupid ,shallow and superficial, the other is at it's worst cynical and extremely manipulative, never mind using victims own trauma and stories for his own gain.

@TheseCalmSeas Did you miss the word most? And this isn't a rape case...

Keep talking.

You're actually making me want to start a crowdfunder for a rich, rich woman. Think about what you could do her for popularity ratings if you carry on.😀

Very bad move releasing that clip, it proves nothing, makes him look manipulative and abusive by releasing it.

I don't really understand this narrative. If one person alleges something why can't the other side give their version? It's not manipulation to want to defend yourself

That’s such a cop out and something that was said to a friend who was raped. Sometimes it’s simply right and wrong.

I think this and the Depp case show how mad some women get when they see an attractive man being "wronged" in their eyes.

Like most things there are different sides to this story & the truth is somewhere in the middle.

The negative press BL is getting is insane but ,seeing as there is proof this is exactly what he paid the PR company to do, not surprising.

He's an irrelevant nobody trying to make himself a somebody and how do me do that- by dumping on more powerful women

It shows there was a lack of planning and communication prior to filming a scene that is very intimate. Her deflecting to "lets just talk" is fawning and a soft/low risk way of telling him no, she's not comfortable.

Amber Heard was treated absolutely appallingly by the press and time will show it. I’m glad Johnny still didn’t get his comeback, no amount of dragging someone else can hide the drunk loser he’s become. Paul Bettany is another one who got away with those awful messages.

I’m leaning more towards JB on this one but only time will tell. I have a very hard time believing JB could behave like this with Lively and especially her husband always hovering around. This whole thing probably has more to do with damage control than anything else.

Very bad move releasing that clip, it proves nothing, makes him look manipulative and abusive by releasing it. There are shades of the Amber Heard saga but not for the reasons the Op thinks, it is about manipulation and smearing. Gross.

She’s definitely a Mean Girl.

Irrelevant

JB hired an extremely underhand PR team to effectively destroy Lively's reputation. The texts between Baldoni and the publicity team were printed in an article in the NY Times. Along with everything already mentioned here, one thing that really stood out was the two women from the PR agency basically congratulating themselves on how the smeer campaign was going and then saying ' it's actually sad because it shows you how people really want to hate on women'.
This just sums up the whole misogynistic lot of it. I don't think Lively conducted herself brilliantly. Launching a hair care line and shilling her weird alcopops while promoting this movie was tone deaf but Justin Baldoni is a predator pretending to be on the side of women.

@laurwalsh have you read https://archive.is/a5Xxs? at least justin has gotten his money's worth

Oh hi Andrew Tate ! Nice of you to join us!

Not unless Melissa has been posting all manner of non-BL related shite on here for a while.

She’d really need to be playing the long game.
