Just out of curiosity, why dues Billy Bush know this? And this aired almost two weeks ago, why is it only getting picked up now? I find this confusing because Slate clearly agreed with Lively's assessment when she unfollowed Baldoni and refused to be seen in the red carpet with him, and when she was one of the first celebs to come out it strong support if Lively in December. And there are definitely reports that she filed an HR report about her conversation with Heath. So ... this doesn't add up. Something is missing. |
Billy Bush has interviewed Bryan Freedman, so that poster speculates Bryan is the source. Jenny may not have had the bad experience with Justin that Blake is trying to peddle, but many people's reactions to sexual harassment these days is to default toward believing the accuser. I don't find this anecdote to be incongruous with Jenny deciding to side with Blake at all. You're wrong about there being reports that she filed a legit HR report. Sony said they didn't receive any HR complaints, and people here have debated that the complaint she "filed" was an unofficial complaint or that she may have simply just...complained. |
I mean, if Slate complained to Sony HR and they didn't generate and official "report", I frankly still view that as an "HR report" because if someone is upset enough to call HR, there's usually something to it. According to Blakes complaint, when Blake reached out to Sony to complain they told her that they couldn't do anything because they weren't the producing studio and technically had no legal oversight. If that's why Sony later claimed there were no HR reports (because multiple tried to file reports and Sony wouldn't let them because they were just the distribution studio), that's just shady corporate CYA. And if the source on this report is Bryan Freedman, well, why do we believe him again? |
Daily Mail goes further with their article today saying that “their friendship is 100 percent over, and that Gigi has also cut ties.” |
DP. I’m the one who posted about reading a TS subreddit with immature posters. This reminds me of one of them, written by someone who seems young and unsophisticated but who is intent on twisting things to illogical conclusions. And when someone posts something sane, they get massively downvoted, to the extent someone wondered if the posts were even organic. TS has a very sophisticated PR team. They know how to write statements and what words will have meaning and import. Also, her saying something nice about her friend like ‘I support my friend’ would not affect the legal case whatsoever at all. This was a massive massive slap in the face, and anyone who says different is trying really hard at some spin. |
Hopefully settlement talks are starting |
Gee, Heath and Baldoni are such saints. |
Jenny also had a book come out in September. Blake lively got on her Instagram and touted the book rather embarrassingly. They clearly had a tit for tat. They are not close friends and I doubt they will ever be seen together again after this. It seems like a very transactional relationship. |
I don’t get the sarcasm here, that was above and beyond and really nice of them? But anyway, no one is saying that they’re saints, just saying that it’s really hard to win with these people and Jenny looks out of touch for complaining about having to hear a positive statement about motherhood in exchange for $17,000. It makes her seem insufferable. Either way, she’s not said word one since Justin filed his response so we have no idea if she still believes Blake or is on her side. |
I agree. I’m not following this case at all so can’t speak to any of it, but this thing with Jenny Slate - no good deed goes unpunished. Women are not eggshells. To be offended about something like this, to the point of complaining, is absolutely ridiculous. If it made her cringe inwardly, fine - but that might last a millisecond and then move on. I could not easily work with someone so triggered and reactionary (and I’m a woman). |
I was about to post similar. I can think back on comments at work I didn't like, were a little inappropriate but really not in big ways. Nobody is perfect. It seems weird to complain formally about someone who actually did a very nice thing for you and even went overboard, all because they phrased the favor a little wrong. We can all phrase things wrong at times and people need to be a little more tolerant based on the broader context of the interactions. |
Honestly what a POS for her to complain. |
Blake needs to settle. WTF. |
What im saying is it's a little too above and beyond. The premise is she was venting about a dangerous window and not only did they empathize but wanted to help. OK. And the help given was not just assisting her with getting the owner to fix it, or changing her filming schedule so she could deal with it, or getting a realtor to find a new place. They decided to find her a new place and pay for her to move there and just cover her 17k rent for the rest of filming, just on their own volition That's certainly saintly and not really believable that anyone is that nice. There has to be something missing here, like this was part of her contract and perhaps the increased rent was offset some other way. |
Jenny slate looks bad. Like ok, how is the company fixing the issue and paying for it entirely an issue? Because you were a mom and it involved a child and their safety? She looks entitled or just like being Blake’s lap dog but is no longer making a big deal of it and probably just wants this all to go away. That being said I have no doubt Jenny slate is power and fame hungry, but she is smart and now realized she hitched her wagon to the wrong horse.
Blake looks like a manipulative entitled terrible person through all this. In my option she felt entitled to the rights of the book and really twisted a situation to get what she wanted assuming he would just cave. Well he didn’t and now he exposed her as the gross, mean, entitled person she is. She was trying to use her power to be a victim, harming women who are truly sexually harassed everywhere, to get what she wanted, the book rights, which was no entitled to |
