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.

Yeah I saw an interview where tom cruise told an interviewer to stop asking him questions

And Tom Cruise was applauded for it.

@Moonfasa100

How does asking questions about the institution of law in our land and the philosophical institution of truth merit an "I won't answer until you declare your credentials"?

I am just trying to follow your argument here.

The poster asked the same question many time because, as she rightly said, you did not answer.

Clearly you are under no obligation to answer any questions, but if you claim you have answered when clearly you have not, either there is an argument being made that I cannot follow or you are gaslighting.

Help me out here?

Right? I have never watched a BL or RR movie or read a Colleen Hoover book, but my whole feed was flooded with stuff about how difficult BL was. I may have idly Googled Justin Baldoni once as I had never heard of him.
It's so creepy.

I always find it strange how posters cherry pick patterns behaviour to suit themselves, depending on who's side they're on .

You said that I didn't answer her questions.

She also hasn't answered any of my questions.

So why did you just say that about me? And not about her?

Your post completely criticises my behaviour and your post speaks positively on her behaviour, so obviously you're not neutral.

You seem to very on top of this story.

Have you been following it since last year?

I only zoomed in on it after the NYT article.

PR marketing strategies are used for every celebrity .

Apparently a lot of celebrity relationships are fake too, they sign a contract to pretend to be in a relationship. As the fake relationship gets them publicity

She will never work again.

He destroyed her.

How can you tell of someone has moved on and is happy from a video?

Because in the video, the reporter asked her how her life was after the trial.. And amber heard responded with something like "my life is good". I remember that she gave a positive answer.

I'll have to look it up again to see exactly what she said

Funnily enough that same interviewer dropped something on Amer H during the Johnny Depp trial according to the NYT.

Interesting coincidence no?

I wouldn't say he destroyed her.

Peoples lives go on after these cases are over.

Amber heard has been seen out and about recently, having fun with her daughter

I do think that this particular interviewer may have been financially persuaded to release a few things, yes.

@andIsaid that same interviewer who claims to have no involvement in this smear campaign, also had something similar with Anne Hathaway.

I can't answer for @noblegiraffe, but one of the things I do to make the system better is not be an apologist for abusive men. Even if I dislike or have no opinion on the person they abused.

I am aware of the tactics used by abusive men. Money, power, the "mad, bad or sad" narrative they use to discredit their victims. The lies, the gaslighting, the manipulation.

Deny.
Lie.
Minimise.

I know the impact this has on victims. As do rape charities, which is why they devote a lot of their training to it.

There's definitely something a bit suspicious about that particular interviewer.

She has released a few clips now about different celebs saying that they are hard to work with.

“Feminism is a political practice of fighting male supremacy on behalf of women as a class, including all the women you don’t like, including all the women you don’t want to be around, including all the women who use to be your best friends whom you don’t want anything to do with any more. It doesn’t matter who the individual women are.” - Andrea Dworkin

You're right, it's far too easy to pit women against each other. I for one will be viewing any news that a woman is 'difficult' as a good reference for her in future.

I completely agree with this!

I don't see how any woman could read that list of demands from Lively on set and continue wittering on about how she was mean in an interview.
It's pretty horrifying that a famous woman could experience that sort of behaviour in her job and then have people, including women, rally around to protect the man.

Absolutely.

It also makes me wonder what the women who are not rich, famous and with some power, suffer.

From what I can see these PR campaigns are fairly new, linked to the massive rise in SM and 'influencers' and cancellations.

Prior to this many celebrities were badly behaved on interviews, Grace Jones hitting an interviewer (Russel Harty), Bjork hitting a photographer for asking a question in an airport, Oliver Reed being invited on to shows and left in the green room knowing that he would get drunk. Peter O'Toole was pretty much the same. Meg Ryan did a whole interview with one word answers.

I wonder if he'll publicly pull back from his behaviour and admit 1) the harassment and 2) the smear campaign.
A sorry not my fault situation where he'll blame... an addiction, stress, mother never wanted him.

That's the point isn't it really she's rich and famous and getting this shit thrown at her. What on earth are powerless women trying to make a career having to put up with.

She wasn't just being called rude though she was being called difficult to work with all over the internet. She had to pull out of appearances because of the backlash.
Even Justin Baldonis Assistent concurs their was a huge SM shitstorm.
Being called difficult as a woman in Hollywood can certainly impact your career. Look at Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino. Conincidentally Baldonis PR Manager used to work for the companyy repping Weinstein.

Also Ambers carreer was absolutely destroyed.

Why are you downplaying all of this?

Heard on the radio this morning that JB has been stripped of his award for being an ally to women.

The Voices of Solidarity Award honors remarkable men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls. On December 9, 2024, we recognized Justin Baldoni with this award. On Saturday, December 21, we learned through news reports about a lawsuit brought by Blake Lively against Mr. Baldoni, his publicists, and others that is disturbing and alleges abhorrent conduct. The communications among Mr. Baldoni and his publicists included in the lawsuit – and the PR effort they indicate – are, alone, contrary to the values of Vital Voices and the spirit of the Award. We have notified Mr. Baldoni that we have rescinded this award.

Ally. Meaningless term that serves as a great indicator for a performative asshole.

I saw on Twitter the comment 'if this is the sort of thing that happens to a famous, well connected woman on a professional film set, imagine what happens to women in porn'.

I saw that the female co-host of his podcast has quit the show.
