What do you think of Blake Lively?

[NameChangeChic]

From what I’ve heard with the current drama surrounding her I’m shocked. Did anyone’s opinions of her change?

ps this isn’t a bashing thread

I think she's doing an excellent job of destroying her own career. But never with teeth.

You’re not the only one.

The reporter was out of line. If I walked into a professional setting, and the first thing that was said was a comment about my body, I’d be angry too.

I also believe it's been documented he is using the same disgusting PR company that Depp used.

Why does that mean he is guilty?

Blake worked with Woody Allen & was criticised by Dylan Farrow?

Read the court documents

I've not read the court documents but I've read some of the text exchange and listened to the late night voicemail JB left. I don't know, but I get the feeling he's a creepy man pretending to be a nice man. It all seems so over the top the way he texts/talks.

JB’s lawyer is one Bryan Freedman.

Mr Freedman has allegedly also faced legal issues of his own. He and two other university students were accused of sexual assault in the 1980s.

According to Insider, he agreed to pay $40,000 (£32,000) as part of a larger settlement before the case went to court, but did not admit liability, the website claimed. Mr Freedman has not publicly commented on the case and did not respond to a request for comment.

A 1986 article in the UC, Berkeley student newspaper, the Daily Californian, reviewed by BBC News, reported Mr Freedman and as many as eight others were accused of assault and sexual battery in a $600,000 suit.

The lawsuit quoted by the newspaper claimed the incident "included, but was not limited to forcibly touching, kissing, embracing and molesting" the alleged victim against her will after a party in October 1985.

The article notes that Mr Freedman issued a denial and said he resigned from a position from the Associated Students of the University of California in order to improve his chances at attending a graduate law school.

I think that there is huge smear campaign against them both by their own different PR companies. I think that they are 2 people who had a falling out. They should both grow up a bit rather than trying to destroy each other. I don't think that either is necessarily in the 'right' and I think it is impossible for anyone to know without having been in the same room as them both.

The court filings make for interesting reading (there is a lot to read through).
I don't think BL likes being told 'no'
A lot of the text exchanges that have been released between all three are a lot of sycophantic, cringey nonsense.
JB and his friends and family had to sit in the basement at his own film premiere, WTAF?
The timing of BL NYT article is interesting.
Neither BL, JB (or RR for that matter) come out of this looking good and may well have tanked their own careers.

Hollywood is a toxic cesspit.

I'll be watching to see how this develops but I'd be surprised if it got as far as a court trial.

I’m working my way through the website of text and email communications that Justin Baldoni has made available and I am open-mouthed at her audacity and some of the moves she pulled. Wow.

I saw the texts in the paper RE: Baldoni trying to destroy her ina. Smear campaign, but quite honestly I think he was perfectly justified if he did because her actions were unhinged.

She's a ball buster! 😂😂😂

Obnoxious, spoilt and thinks she's all that and a bag of chips!

The smarmy, unfunny and insincere husband is repulsive.

Imagine if one of us text our male colleagues about ‘Ball Busting Never with Teeth’ and talked about ‘Suppositories’. We would be sacked!

He should have recorded everything from then.

JB does come across badly too he is a bit creepy but in his texts I can’t see anything as graphic sexually as hers. He does talk about babe on boob which made me want to 🤮 But, on balance BL’s texts are much more sexually explicit!

Yeah, and he thinks he is like the ultimate hunk.
Clearly, he would crap his pants if he saw My husband

Where are you getting this from?

AND who is your husband? lol

Is that troll speak for a woman who won’t take any shit from misogynistic men?

I haven't got the time to read then all but I've seen various podcasts with his 'receipts' and I can't see that he did a single thing wrong. Happy to be corrected though.

I read the website too and it’s really shocking.

I love her style and she can be quite funny but damn…

He can refute every claim.

There’s even an interview where she talks about the intimacy coordinator being on set.

it’s all bizarre. Her and Ryan just look like bullies.

And using Taylor Swift as her “ dragon” was so embarrassing.

She called herself a ball buster.

How is he a misogynist?

Echo other posters, don’t know because don’t know her personally. Do wonder how much the bad publicity a while ago was part of a smear campaign by the guy she is accusing.

Hadn’t she been discussing her pregnancy in other interviews and openly celebrating the news.

The reporter was out of line. If I walked into a professional setting, and the first thing that was said was a comment about my body, I’d be angry too.

You'd be angry someone congratulated you on your pregnancy?!

Not relevant. The reporter didn’t ask her about her pregnancy. She commented on her bump.

See my post above.

Why would we need Blake Lively to be perfect? I'm sure she's like the rest of us, has her off days, occasionally says things that are thoughtless or even hurtful.

It doesn't mean she deserves to be destroyed in the court of public opinion.

She commented on her bump.

She congratulated her on her bump. Again I don't understand how that is offensive if a pregnancy had been publicly acknowledged but hey I also find it odd that people on here don't answer their doorbells!
