Blake Lively suing Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

According to TMZ Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment on the set of ‘It Ends With Us’.

According to the lawsuit, a meeting was held in regards to the hostile work environment. Blake demanded that Baldoni stop showing nude videos or images of women to her, no more mention of Baldoni's alleged previous "pornography addiction," no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew's genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake's weight, and no further mention of Blake's dead father and no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing by Blake outside of the script Blake approved when signing onto the project.

Baldoni’s representative have denied the allegations and state this is an effort for Blake to rehabilitate her recent poor image.

It’s bizarre tbh and this thread has now gone the way of one of the teaching threads I referred too.

No I didn't say anywhere that all the documents in this specific case are fake.

I said that it's possible to fake documents. The technology exists.

No, she’s also suing the production company. Of which he is a co-owner.

You seem like a reasonable person @radishknot .

What is your opinion on this Blake Lively case?

It’s a criminal offence. I never said otherwise, I just said it was often about power. I do think this is a PR war, image is everything in Hollywood. You don’t have to agree.

@Moonfasa100 so you accept that they're not fake documents so do you therefore also accept that they're provide evidence of him and his team orchestrating a smear campaign against her?

Kirinm my honest opinion is I don't know.

I'd rather let a court decide.

Have you actually read any of the reports and the material @Moonfasa100 because you asked “how anyone would get the texts” as part of your ‘just asking questions with my innocent face over here’ approach? As the reports detail that they were accessed via legal process, so why ask your question?

The social media shit show was hugely disproportionate to what she actually did.
The texts also show that he did engineer a smear campaign.
There are male actors in Hollywood who have done way worse things than her.
They don't get a callout though they get an Oscar.

Disappointing to find at least one of these is a regular MNetter. Perhaps they should try reading the Relationships forum.

@Moonfasa100 my opinion hasn’t really changed from my initial post pages back. There was always going to be a fight back from Blake’s side as her reputation has taken a hammering. JB may be guilty of these things and may be a horrible person. I don’t think that will have much bearing on the perception of Blake though, rightly or wrongly. I am surprised people are so shocked by how PR works & how much press is engineered. I do think JB got ahead of any potential stories but again that is normal practice & BL will have had her own PR strategy.

Yes of course I've read it all. As has everyone on here.

No what i said was , as the agent was subpoenad for her texts, why wouldn't she delete them?

Remember when Rebekah vardy sued Colleen rooney for slander,

Rebekah vardys agent said that she had lost her phone. She said that she had dropped the phone into the ocean.

As obviously she didn't want to provide it.

Other cases aswell where people have been asked to hand over their phones - they always delete the messages.

Yes. I would also like to know whether @Moonfasa100 has read the well-researched NYT report and the text messages, too.

Indeed. BL may well be uppish but the NYT story describes a completely different scenario.

I already answered it. Yes I have.

@Moonfasa100 because destroying evidence is a bit of a no-no. And there are rules about doing it.

Why are you asking questions that suggest that you haven’t then?

@katter I haven’t said otherwise, I just stated what had happened. Is anyone surprised male actors get an easier ride? Look at the narrative around Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, she is somehow the bad guy. I think a few things didn’t help Blake, probably an over-saturation of her & RR with Deadpool, I think people were tired of the theme dressing, we had a lot with Barbie & then as I said their thing is to be relatable which was easy to criticise with the old interviews etc.

@Moonfasa100

Have a read.

Have you learned anything over there?

Why aren't you taking on board the several posters on here who have said that your behaviour is extreme?

Go on @Moonfasa100

please just read it.

it’s clear you haven’t.

So many cases I've read about, the person has always deleted text messages.

But that wasn't the bloody case here, was it???!

Yes I have.

So many women on here telling other women what to do! And they say it's the patriarchy that control women. Nope . Women on here control other women
