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.

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.

This woman seems completely unsuited to her job. She seems to find it very difficult . Maybe she should go and work in a bank or something that doesn't involve talking to people.

She had to leave the continent and aside from the Aquaman sequel has barely worked in 5 years. Google her name and the comment section is incredibly insulting to her. He ruined her.

Clearly you’re not active across social media platforms. She’s been dog pilled on Reddit for months. Her instagram comments have been constant abuse for months

Downplaying what happened to Amber Heard too.

Do you have a point in any of your total drivel?

I didn't "downplay" what happened to Amber Heard.

I said there is a video recently where amber heard is out walking with her daughter, Amber is asked how she is, and Amber heard says that she is happy.

That's a fact. You can look it up.

The case didn't TOTALLY ruin her life . That's being overly dramatic.

People move on. If you sue someone it doesnt ruin their life forever more.

She had to pay johnny depp about 15 million dollara in damages. Johnny depp was also ordered by the same court to pay Amber heard two million dollars in damages.

Amber Heard has other things in her life. Amber heard still has a daughter that she is taking care of. She is happy. She said so herself when she was asked.

I think she can speak better for herself, than you can speak for her.

It depends what you see as "ruined"

Yes her career was damaged. And her finances were damaged.

But Amber Heard still has her daughter. And she is very happy being a mother.

There was a pair of them in it .

Johnny Depp said that amber heard ruined him professionally for years.

Neither of them looked great.

Johnny Depp will be fine.
You can be a known wife beater and still get an oscar or a known rapist and still be promoted on Netflix.
Different rules for men.
And I'm sure Amber Heard is oh so happy to have to give up her career. What else is she gonna say considering the shit storm the last time.
Interesting that you seem to be downplaying what happened to women but don't say anything about the sexual harrasment which this thread is about.

It depends what you see as "ruined"

Yes her career was damaged. And her finances were damaged.

But Amber Heard still has her daughter. And she is very happy being a mother.

What a misogynist pile of nonsense. Any woman that has become a famous actress has worked incredibly hard and devoted a lot to it. Far more than most people invest into their jobs. She clearly cares deeply about it.

Reducing her to motherhood alone, and suggesting she should be 'very happy' even though her professional reputation and career are ruined is awful and properly sexist. I shouldn't be surprised after reading the rest of your comments on here but really?

As @katter says it has barely any effect on men's careers if they are convicted of sexual offences. Or domestic violence. But it's fine by you if AH's career is in tatters because she said she was OK in the street when asked. Even if she wasn't OK, she was hardly going to say that.

And yes, Roman Polanski still gets a standing ovation after fleeing justice when he anally raped a drugged child. Still working.

I said there is a video recently where amber heard is out walking with her daughter, Amber is asked how she is, and Amber heard says that she is happy.

We used to teach this stuff at GCSE....clearly it should be put back on the curriculum.

Can you think of any reason why a person might say that they are happy if they are randomly accosted while out walking with their daughter if that isn't actually the full and proper answer?

I would recommend the book So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson.

JD had a team orchestrating AH's downfall. The groupies outside the court were on a witch hunt, they wanted to burn a woman. The social media being pumped out was so obviously a smear. I used to think JD was attractive, fun and likeable, after his campaign he now turns my stomach.

I'm happy to see BL outsmart the same team.

I’ve realised, over a number of years, that I have an “ick” reaction to men who overtly spew forth about being “allies” to women. A bit like that “uncanny valley” reaction to something you see that doesn’t seem right.

The “good” men I know in my life will happily let me explain why something, that may come across as innocuous or everyday, is actually wrong or an everyday challenge for women. They’ll listen and not try to explain away or excuse. It’s the ones who seem really good with their words, trying too hard to be “not like that” that make me feel uncomfortable. Hard to explain, but it really makes me uneasy.

I've not really been aware of much of BL’s work (a bit older than target audience probably), but I kept seeing headlines a few months ago and thought wow she seems to have imploded her reputation. With the recent info coming out, it’s made me realise even more how much SM etc can manipulate situations.

Having reverted to being more of a lurker on this site, rather than reacting to and posting on threads, has made me see patterns a bit more easily with regards to both blatant and (trying to be) covert apologists with regards to how men behave. It’s been really shocking, seeing numerous threads play out over the last year or so, how many posters seem to minimise or excuse things as being everyday or acceptable behaviour. Especially, as others have pointed out, with it seeming to depend on how “nice” the woman at the heart of it is.

As an aside, one doesn’t have to have volunteered in a particular setting to be deemed worthy of an opinion. Equally important is having everyday conversations with men and boys who are in your own sphere of life - not as a rant or lecture, but conversations that can be introduced in the right setting re everyday issues and problems around moving through life and treating the opposite sex with respect. Throwing “have you volunteered” at people really isn’t the shutdown that some people in life think it is.

Well said @IJWMM

Sounds like the PR company is suing Abel, couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Now her former employers are suing her for this campaign, I wonder if anyone will finally decide they can form a judgment of their own outside a court room.

Not Abel. Justin.

Let's repeat this over and over again. The filthy coward should have been rotting in jail for decades.

I see some of Blake Lively’s costars have come out in support of her. Which I think says a lot. Including Jenny slate who was also in the film in question. The actors union have also issued a statement in support of Blake. Meanwhile it looks like he has been dropped by his agency. I think she’s going to bury him to be honest.

The lawsuit the PR firm has issued is really interesting and it’s clear they tipped lively off when Jennifer Able left and they were able to obtain access to her work phone. It seems she was stealing clients and also conducting a smear campaign against her boss.

What a load of absolute rubbish.

I see that you left out the most important part of this case.

Amber Heard is not an innocent victim.

The court found in Johnny Depp's favour.

You are aware that a court found in Johnny Depp's favour, yes?

They have said that Amber Heard must pay Johnny Depp 15 million dollars in damages.

You are aware that Amber Heard has to pay Johnny Depp 15 million dollars in damages, yes?

Amber Heard ruined her own career by defaming Johnny Depp.

She has ruined her own career, as she has made herself look bad.

They were both the abusers in the relationship but only one of them has her career ruined.
Do you honestly believe if the shoe was on the other foot his career would have suffered that much? Maybe in the short term but it has been shown time and time again that men in Hollywood can do the most disgusting things and get away with it.
JD also lost his libel case in the UK.

@Moonfasa100
What is your intention? I get someone not wanting to find JB guilty before a trial but you constantly seem to downplay the experiences of these women when it has been proven that they have been victims of smear campaigns.

I think two courts found in favour of each of the parties JD/AH

eta - Sorry, I see someone already made that point!

The courts have never found in AH's favour.
The UK courts found in favour of the Sun and the USA court found in favour of JD.

Worth reiterating this for those questioning (@Moonfasa100) why the texts wouldn't have been deleted.

If you read up about it, at the time of the smear campaign, Jennifer Abel was working for Stephanie Jones as part of her PR firm Jonesworks, of which JB and Wayfarer (the film company) were clients.

Abel was however conspiring to launch her own business and was poaching clients (inc JB and Wayfarer) and confidential documentation from the company. Jones presumably catches wind of this, and she fires Abel on the spot and confiscates her company phone, which is where all the messages were sourced from. She then hands it over in the subpoena, clearly with no desire to protect Abel, Baldoni or Nathan by deleting any evidence.

The lawsuit Jones has filed against Abel, JB and others also makes interesting reading as it contains more messages between the various parties - including some from Abel talking about what an arsehole Baldoni is.

I do find some of the perspectives on this thread very bizarre, but it's worth remembering that part of the smear campaign was to plant commentators across social media platforms to try and influence the narrative in favour of JB and against BL - who's to say that isn't continuing?
