[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.

BL has made very specific allegations against JB. Virtue signalling does not mean he is not a cnut to women, it may just help him get into more women’s pants.

I'm interested in the timeline. Was BL's list of requirements submitted before the smear campaign?

Why is she doing this such a long time after the film?

That is eye-popping reading. Goes to show women are never safe no matter how much fame and money they have to insulate themselves.

Also, how are people defending him, in 2024??

There was also going to be a fight back from Blake & engagement of PR is par for the course. He might be have done all these things & be a horrible person. The difficulty Blake has is the main criticisms of her are separate to the JB situation and can’t have been engineered by him. It’s also because her PR game was very much how relatable she & RR are.

I'm not defending him.

Its just with the talk of smear campaigns on both sides, it's hard to know what's true and what's not

@Moonfasa100 presumably because she had to take legal action to subpoena the emails etc?

Yep, and no one including me is saying because she’s acted like a rude bitch must mean she’s deserved what she’s alleging has happened - absolutely not and this stretching is ridiculous. But that’s all they are at this stage, allegations.

She may have been following instructions on how to promote the film but anyone could see that flogging her hair care and alcohol line and bringing your best florals to a film about DV might not have landed positively.

In recent texts that have been leaked. Justin baldonis agent says in the texts that she is going to start a campaign to say that Blake lively is difficult to work with

But that’s just getting ahead of the story. That’s the point of PR and opposing sides will be doing the same.

She doesn’t have an alcohol line

Not saying this was BL's decision, just saying how the marketing strategy was off...
Playing down that it's about DV could be so triggering for someone who thinks they are going to see a romantic drama, and then are faced with a story about abuse. Not ok.

Regarding the texts that have been "leaked " showing Justin's agents saying she is going to ruin Blake livelys reputation.

How would anyone have got those texts.

How do we know they are true?

I could easily make texts myself that say anything and that look like they are coming from a certain number.

There are apps that do this

Couldn't Blake livelys side have written these texts and pretend that they are written by Justin's agent?

@Moonfasa100 she had a subpoena to get them

Why didn't they end up in Davy Jones' locker?!
Sorry, couldn't resist the Wagatha Christie nod.

She does - Betty Booze. Which was promoted at the premiere/movie events. One of the cocktails was called 'Ryle you wait'.

But then surely the agent would delete everything before handing over her phone?

The Norwegian interviewer has posted a video, not sure if it’s been posted yet. She seems to believe there has been an orchestrated smear campaign but thinks BL hasn’t helped herself either. She categorically refutes being paid or involved as a freelance journalist. (I thought it was interesting though that she said she believed Amber Heard lied in court but then said she didn’t know any of these people’s personal lives. So how could she have known Johnny Depp was innocent - ie she didn’t).

I watched that interview BL did and thought she sounded like a woman on the edge, fed up of always being asked about her body and fashion.

I was a bit tetchy about people commenting on my bump when I was pregnant, and probably came across as a bit PA. I recall being utterly furious with MIL about one completely innocent comment about how huge I was. When I was, in fact, massive.

She does have an alcohol line.

Nobody really knows what she's like as a person we know what the press say. And regardless of what type of person she is she deserves to be able to go to work and not be harassed

The whole wear florals, grab your friends & buy my haircare line whilst drinking my drinks was pretty tone deaf in the context of DV. Add in the past plantation wedding, celebration of the South, throw in the “rude” interviews, the plastic surgery before & after videos & that was the PR disaster.

@Moonfasa100 apologies - I saw betty buzz saying it was non alcoholic and didn’t realise she had another line

Yes. Sexual harassment is still in too many places.

And of course JBs PR team would push these stories to the top of internet searches, social media, etc that’s literally the point of PR. Celebs also engage in that stuff to bury stories, push things down on internet searches.

Yes it was submitted during filming, long before the drama.

He doesn't sound great.

The two of them don't look good though
