What do you think of Blake Lively?

What did you find, to view her negatively?

I was at the plantation that they got married in last summer. I didn't realise the connection until later.

It's a working farm and it handles its past very sensitively. Anyone getting outraged at this is looking for things to be annoyed about.

Lots of women are funny, she isn’t and it seems like she tries to be or tries to be intimidating/bitchy…I’m not sure, it just doesn’t come across well

I’m a big fan of the Lincoln Lawyer & her character in that. I don’t think she has much to gain by lying or misrepresenting the truth. These kinds of accusations never elevate anyone’s career so something must’ve happened that crossed her line.
I don’t engage with the media on the topic. Most of what’s written is BS & headlines.

Minor point but getting funny about others getting married on a plantation is virtue signalling at best.

Presumably you say the same thing about churches in the UK, of which many are home to historic abuse?

Anyway, “the nasty comments” can you imagine your personality being judged on a comment you made once? Ridiculous and I’m sure you have made mean comments before too.

Whoever that PR firm are that Baldoni hired to trash her (just like Depp did to Heard) - they are as morally depraved as it gets.

It's sickening how easy it is to get society to hate women.

And this shouldn't be a PR battle. It should be a legal one, behind closed doors.

Yesterday I read through the entire website Justin Baldoni has published with lawsuit details and then a timeline of events along with receipts. It’s changed my opinion of her in a negative way.

I don't think it's helpful to try and draw someone currently involved in claiming sexual harassment into character assassinations, it's rarely done in good faith. Why have you posted this OP?

I'm not a fan of her work. I'm baffled that her wedding to RR was at a plantation.

This current issue, I'm avoiding reading about it because I'm frankly tired of all the shit women face in Hollywood.

I don’t think she comes across well
at all, she seems to want to intimidate and thinks she’s funny, all a bit odd.
I also don’t think she’s beautiful or a good actress 😬

I actually don't know reading it but BL and RR dont come across well. BL has been quite mean at times in interviews. However that doesn't mean she wasn't sexually harassed. Either way I hope the truth comes out.

She's very beautiful with fabulous hair. That's it, really.

She's incredibly beautiful. That's all I "know" about her. The rest is a load of "he said, she said", I'm not possibly qualified to make a judgement based on that

“Obviously none of us know any of them”. This is the only sentence in your post that is factually correct and it makes the rest of your post irrelevant.

People love to hate and scrutinise women. There are so many male actors who are far more rude in interviews and are perceived as charmingly cantankerous.

The message I take from this is that women should not:
-Give their opinion in a work setting, even if you think you have something valuable to offer, as men in senior positions might feel that you're stepping on their toes
-Call out sexual harassment
-Ever make anyone else feel uncomfortable, even if that is at your own expense. Even if you're tired of people commenting on your body all day when you're there to talk about your work
-Expect for people to believe them

This whole saga is making me feel like shit as a woman.

P.S. The studio gave clear guidance on the tone and messaging for the promos. BL was not disrespecting victims of DV. She, and the rest of the cast (other than JB) were following this guidance.

I think she's a pretty mean person. The nasty comment she made to the interviewer about 'your little bump', choosing a movie about domestic abuse to promote her haircare brand (yes, she was advised to promote it in a light hearted manner rather than doom and gloom but to use it as an opportunity to hawk shampoo is just tacky). One of the many celebs that got married on a plantation. Now the texts from her to Justin Baldoni have been released it's clear she's behaving inappropriately, flirting late at night, and it comes across like she was hunting for an affair and harassing him.

Obviously none of us know any of them, but from what I've seen of her she seems like a pretty awful person.

It's quite interesting how all of this came out, people started to dislike her, then the new story was 'gotcha! we influenced you to hate her!' when actually the reasons the public tide turned against her were due to things she said and did of her own volition. Just smacks of PR honestly. The whole thing is bizarre to watch how easily led and hoodwinked people are.

Yes. They are all 100% factual statements.

I posted on your thread yesterday about your job interviews. You were rejected by 2 companies. Would you want your whole character to be based on the strength of those two intbiews?

Who knows what's really going on. Actors need to protect themselves. Personally I like her as an actress. Not Meryl Streep levels of talent but a familiar face. I don't care about all this Baldoni creepery

Not sure about BL but Justin Baldoni seems like a complete twat

She strikes me as a nasty person, and did so before the sexual abuse allegations. That doesn't mean she deserves sexual abuse, or that she is lying.

Never met her so don’t have an opinion.
