Has anyone seen the video footage that totally proves Blake Lively was lying about her accusations of Justin Baldoni. Total Amber Heard vibes from this and it's scary to think how many cases that can't be proved have destroyed men's lives.

I think he is a wrong 'un. Why so keen to insert himself in women's rights issues? Makes me think of Jimmy Saville - so busy "doing good" that his behaviour goes unchallenged.

The total 'amber herd' vibes is because he has hired the same pr team as Jonny Depp so they are re-running their winning formula. I thought everyone knew that.

I really recommend listening to "Who Trolled Amber Heard".

Yes. It is online campaigns against these women that makes you think that they are destroying the lives of men. Maybe it's the other way round?

There is the initial alledged sexual harassment

Then there is the smear campaign

I don't know enough / read / seen ot processed all the stuff to comment on the smear.

However on the SH and video released i do have a perspective as a viewer

I did look at the video and it looks like 2 people acting scene about "falling in lust / love" which fits the film. I think the problem is that the acting improvised by JB does not fit BL choreographed view. So this is now SH in BL eyes. However if the scene had said "attempted kisses, caressing, etc" then there would have been a coordinator... and no SH. The video would plat out as is and that wouldn't be in the case

No idea if this is the only.scene called out in the SH case but in my opinion I don't think JB did anything out of character for the movie scene. Just very bad planning or bad judge of what is acceptable when Partnering on a movie and read BL wrong

It's all very odd and confusing... he seemed genuinely empathetic about the DV narrative and BL was "wear your floral's" and a bit tone deaf.

I don't think we will ever really know.

Seems very much based on one interpretation of actions ... 3 sides f every story and all

Edited

He looks like a sleezy, greasy, insincere prat to me. Appearances can be deceptive, of course. Maybe he and his paid mud-slingers didn't write any of those texts/emails and BL hallucinated them all into existence.

BL has always struck me as a mediocre actress unable to convey a rich inner depth to any of the characters she plays. From what I've seen of her acting, she lacks the imagination, imo, to have come up with that laundry list of complaints against him out of thin air.

Yeah, because Justin is paying the same PR company that Jonny Depp used to run a smear campaign against Amber Heard. That is where you recognising the “vibe” from, it’s the same playbook.

Can you post it here?
Does she actually say she's lying about her accusations?

What do you think it proves?

Nightmarewithdelirium · 22/01/2025 20:51

Yes and I don't see that AT ALL. She's nothing like Amber Heard.
I don't know what's going on with all this Blake hatred it's insane. Fair enough to not particularly like her... but this is next level.
It actually makes me think she is completely telling the truth about Justin. Because there really does seem to be an orchestrated PR campaign regarding portraying her negatively.
And what does it boil down to? Her being a bit aloof.. making jokes that don't land..

Is that reason to allow her to be sexually harassed?
There's multiple witnesses, the majority of the cast and crew on that film have backed her up. If you read into it he was very clearly behaving inappropriately.
Whether or not Blake is a likeable person is completely irrelevant. No one should be treated like that in their workplace. The end.

TheseCalmSeas · 22/01/2025 20:50

Seen it and they’re acting in a slow mo clip. It proves nothing and whether she is liked or not is irrelevant.

They tried to actively destroy her and there’s real evidence proving that.

LostTheMarble · 22/01/2025 20:49

What’s ’Amber Herd’ vibes exactly? Does it mean some old soak took advantage of young woman then was shocked when she didn’t put up with his BS? I’m not fully up to date with the Blake Lively situation I won’t lie…

Jobsharenightmare · 22/01/2025 20:48

How does it disprove what she alleged happened later?

I've seen the footage. I'm not sure how it disproves anything she's alleged? It was filmed fairly early in the shoot too, was it not?
