What do you think of Blake Lively?

You can have opinions on lots of things, but not on another woman’s body.

This. I believe her.

The only film I've ever seen her in is The Shallows, so I don't really know anything about her. Obviously I've seen all the drama with her co-star, but I've not read into it with any detail. Sounds a bit like it's six of one and half a dozen of the other.

It’s not relevant that you don’t find it offensive. Blake Lively did and I would too. And you don’t get to say what I should find acceptable when it comes to my own body.

No but I can have an opinion on what is a proportion response to a question someone doesn't like. And when your career depends on positive PR public opinion matters hence why it's been discussed endlessly....

Yes. They are all 100% factual statements.
No. They really aren't. This is the problem. People believing everything they read and forming opinions about people they don't know based on those falsehoods

People reading information info that JB released and are shocked that it supports his side of the argument. Do you hear yourself? You think that stuff won't be biased?

It's interesting that other then legal filings BL has not made a big deal of this. The articles are ABOUT her but not FROM her. She has all the support from the cast, was the one who obeyed the production company who (stupidly) wanted to spin a positive message for the film which allowed JB to do his dv morality tour making BL look tone deaf in comparison.

I keep hearing this bizarre argument that she 'refused' an intimacy coordinator. No. The text JB released, indicated that on one particular occasion BL didn't want to meet the intimacy coordinator. That isn't 'refusing'. She was 2 months post-partum at the time. I imagine she was busy.

I hope the court case can cut through all the bs because the average persons reading comprehension, lack of critical thinking, and basic mysogany on this is making me worry about humanity.

JB seems determined to throw so much mud in the well with these messages and video that prove absolutely fuck all and can be interpreted either way. I suspect he knows that the actual evidence produced by BL is pretty damning and so it trying to get the public on his side just like he did with the PR company hired specifically to smear her.

BL has the texts from the PR company proving that JB deliberately tried to smear her and ruin her reputation.

BL has the document from the meeting mid filming which illustrates all the unacceptable ways JB was acting on set.

Another woman in the production team similarly complain of him being inappropriate.

You could argue that none of these were real somehow but that would be spectacularly stupid from BL team to hang your court case on so I suspect they are real and they can prove they were real.

What actual evidence does he have? Fucking nothing but speculation, slander, and things that can be interpreted in one way or another. He's poisoned the well with the aforementioned smear campaign (that btw even the pr people were surprised went so well) that everyone is primed to hate her.

The only thing BL has done wrong is not be a perfect victim. Same old same old.

Thanks for reminding me, I loved that film, they were both excellent.

I was struggling to recall anything I'd seen her in apart from Gossip Girl.

I saw a movie that she did with Anna Kendrick and I thought she was fantastic. Otherwise I don’t know anything and I don’t care.

The vast majority of people won't give a flying. This is PR shit stirring at its worst.

That’s the same thing. Nobody has the right to comment on someone else body, and certainly not in a professional setting.

It’s not relevant that you don’t find it offensive. Blake Lively did and I would too. And you don’t get to say what I should find acceptable when it comes to my own body.

I think they are both fighting over their respective image tbh & both are going to lose.

Why would we need Blake Lively to be perfect?

The trouble is the Hollywood PR machine thrives off image so image matters.

She commented on her bump.

She congratulated her on her bump. Again I don't understand how that is offensive if a pregnancy had been publicly acknowledged but hey I also find it odd that people on here don't answer their doorbells!

Why would we need Blake Lively to be perfect? I'm sure she's like the rest of us, has her off days, occasionally says things that are thoughtless or even hurtful.

It doesn't mean she deserves to be destroyed in the court of public opinion.

See my post above.

Not relevant. The reporter didn’t ask her about her pregnancy. She commented on her bump.

The reporter was out of line. If I walked into a professional setting, and the first thing that was said was a comment about my body, I’d be angry too.

You'd be angry someone congratulated you on your pregnancy?!

Hadn’t she been discussing her pregnancy in other interviews and openly celebrating the news.

Echo other posters, don’t know because don’t know her personally. Do wonder how much the bad publicity a while ago was part of a smear campaign by the guy she is accusing.

She called herself a ball buster.

How is he a misogynist?

I read the website too and it’s really shocking.

I love her style and she can be quite funny but damn…

He can refute every claim.

There’s even an interview where she talks about the intimacy coordinator being on set.

it’s all bizarre. Her and Ryan just look like bullies.

And using Taylor Swift as her “ dragon” was so embarrassing.

I haven't got the time to read then all but I've seen various podcasts with his 'receipts' and I can't see that he did a single thing wrong. Happy to be corrected though.

Is that troll speak for a woman who won’t take any shit from misogynistic men?

Where are you getting this from?

AND who is your husband? lol

Yeah, and he thinks he is like the ultimate hunk.
Clearly, he would crap his pants if he saw My husband
