What do you think of Blake Lively?

Do you comment on every thread you know nothing about just to say you don’t know anything about it?

They signed stating they didn’t agree. They can argue signed under duress as needed to get film made. If they disputed and won the dispute, they still lose because Blake is not going to finish making the film. AND JB gets dragged through the mud if it goes to court. And has to cut his losses on the film. Maybe Blake has to pay a penalty for breach of contract but it’s nothing to her. But she apparently sneakily didn’t sign her contract so actually would have had to pay nothing .
If BL won dispute she’d get the rights to film via morality clause. As it happened she forced producer to go with her cut of the film and give her a producer credit saying she wouldn’t promote it otherwise. And tried to block JB from premier party. Blake’s power is her husband and best friend. Not herself per se. What exactly about my comments are you referring to as “ bollocks” , “twaddle” , “laughable” and “not worth engaging with”? You just sound like someone who’s worked themselves up and has resorted to throwing insults because they can’t properly debate. I think the only valid point you’re inadvertently making is that it’s you, not I, that’s actually not worth engaging with :)

I don't really know who she (?) is. Sounds like a bloke's name.

I don’t know but it end with us was the biggest pile of bollocks I’ve ever encountered and massively detrimental to lives of women worldwide. It’s

I've heard her name, linked with MM and Amber Heard (sp?). Don't know who she is, what she does. Wouldn't recognise her. Therefore I conclude she is neither famous nor important. 😂To me, anyway.

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.

I think there is a weird "Blake Lively is awful" narrative in the press right now, this makes me suspicious! It would seem someone is paying for a fantastic PR team.

No they did not enter into legal dispute over the contents. They signed. And that is a tacit admission of the behaviour however they chose to word the accompanying clause.

If they didn’t sign they got into legal dispute and if their version is true they win and Blake has to finish the film regardless.

BL did not get the rights to the film and the twaddle about relative power of actresses who are only as good as their last non and billionaire producers is laughable and not worth engaging with.

Erm they clearly did dispute and did not accept liability by stating, while signing, they had a different perspective. If they didn’t sign, JB loses the millions he’s spent ( money that he’s loaned ) plus chances are Blake pursues the complaint anyway , gets the rights to the film ( as per the morality clause ) and makes it without him. And yes, A list actors / celebs hold more cards and influence than a billionaire producer. Money just wasn’t going to win that battle. It’s about power and influence.

Bollocks. Do you know how many films have been below up during or post production due to legal wrangling? If Blake’s complaints were completely without foundation lawyers would have advised to dispute and not admit any liability because it could come back to bite them as it has.

I’ve no idea why you think Blake’s connections trump a billionaire producer - it’s just total nonsense. She didn’t have a fraction of his money.

No, it’s very simple , if they didn’t sign there was no film. They made clear they didn’t agree but signed anyway to get the film done. Blake’s connections and influence in Hollywood trump those of billionaire producer etc. It appears to me that Blake wanted control of the film , she made a power play and she got her way.

If they don’t agree they don’t sign it’s as simple as that. They had the option and so did JB of disputing any or all points legally. BL did not hold all the cards - she was up against the director, producer and billionaire co-owner of the studio and their lawyers.

It’s mainly Steve Sarowitz the billionaire co-founder of the studio’s millions actually.

that clearly says to me that wayfarer don’t agree but realise if they sign then the film is over , JB loses millions he’s sank into it already . They could not lose Blake , she knew she held all the cards

And no I’m not suggesting she should suck it up because she’s rich… that makes no sense whatsoever …what I’m saying is, why would JB jeapardise the film , his career and financial security by treating the star of his film who is more famous and better connected in Hollywood than he is , by subjecting her to sexual harrassment? Unless he’s completely ignorant, yet making a film about dv…. It doesn’t add up to me.

Well they would wouldn’t they. But Wayfarer acknowledged the complaints with the comment: “Although our perspective differs in many aspects, ensuring a safe environment for all is paramount”

JB’s legal team have denied this? Is there any proof? I’ve seen evidence of some weird messages from Blake to Justin , she could have been joking of course, her idea of humour or style of communication.

Why does anyone man jeopardise his career and family? Because he thinks he will likely get away with it, and they usually do.

Really??

Erm, JB is basically a nobody next to JD! Why would a “nobody” jeapardise his career and film by sexually harassing a “somebody “ I.e. Blake. ?? Doesn’t add up to me

It's easy work for them. Society already hates women.

As for Ms Lively, none of us know her. I haven't seen her act so I can't comment on that. I can say she is certainly very beautiful and her husband comes across as a nice chap in the football documentary and that's almost it.

One thing I can say is that when a woman says she has been bullied and subjected to sexually appropriate behaviour, my first instinct is to believe her. As it would be if a woman told me she had been raped or subjected to male violence. Women lying about those things is rare.

Patriarchy pits women against each other. Breaking patriarchy permanently involves standing up for other women and strengrhening sisterhood.

So I believe Blake and I very much hope she's OK.

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.
