I don't know if this will happen, but I do wonder about all the people who are simply quiet now who are or were BL friends or supporters -- TS, Jenny Slate, Brendan Sklenar, Isabela Ferrera, Liz Plank, people at Sony, etc.

As someone upthread said, all of these people have lawyers who are surely telling them to be quiet right now. There is nothing to gain for them to make public declarations of support, for either side.

But many of these people will be fact witnesses. I think many watchers assume their silence means they've turned on Blake. And some of them may have! But in reality they HAVE to be silent now.

I am curious what happens when these folks are deposed or testify or issue affidavits, if they back Blake's story. This is what I think would amount to a "smoking gun" that sways public opinion. Like if other cast members come out and back Blake's story, say they witnessed or experienced unacceptable behavior on set, that Blake's actions with the 17 point list were necessary for creating a better environment post hiatus, and that their choice to refuse to promote the film with Baldoni was not forced on them by Blake but their own choice based on their own experiences with him.

What if Sony people, including Alex Saks, come out and say Blake and others were reaching out to them from early on reporting problems, that Sony kept pushing it back to Wayfarer as the producing studio, but that Wayfarer kept saying it was handled and it wasn't?

What happens if Liz Plank, who worked with Baldoni and Heath for years but is friendly with Lively, testifies in support of Lively's narrative?

I'm not saying this will all happen -- it's also possible all these people have abandoned Blake and she's out on her own. But people are assuming everyone's silence means a lack of support, when the silence is likely legally enforced. The truth is we don't know.

Of course the cast who might be deposed is staying quiet. But the rest of Hollywood does not need to stay quiet and Taylor can absolutely support her friend and still be deposed or give up documents. There is absolutely no reason at some point in the past few months since this has dropped that she couldn’t have been seen with Blake said I support my friend. And there is absolutely no reason she had to kick Blake while she was down in the statement she did put out. She directly contradicted her and she didn’t have to reveal that she couldn’t be bothered to see the movie until weeks after. (I doubt she even has ever seen the movie, she probably just didn’t want to piss off the fans since she had the licensed the song.)

Same with Gigi her, her other supposed bestie. Same with the sisterhood of the traveling pants who have not said a thing since Justin’s side of the story dropped, and if Hollywood was supporting her, she’d have projects lined up. She was going to direct and produce, and no one asking her to do those things.

Frankly, a lot of people you mentioned have lost all credibility. I don’t think anyone is going to believe Liz plank, who made a deal with Ryan to start a production company a month before the lawsuit dropped.

I also frankly think people look really crappy if they all of a sudden in March 2026 had the story to tell about Justin and Jamey and didn’t mention word one to support Blake. I understand that their lawyers have told them not to talk about it, but they could easily be showing her other subtle signs of support and they have chosen not to. Their PR people would not want them totally leaving her out in the cold if they’re going to get up there and say yes it was a terrible set. We all felt sexually harassed. They’re going to look like opportunistic losers if that happens.

Nobody cares about phony Hollywood shit let alone your hypothetical phony Hollywood shit. The bottom line is Blake and Ryan, with help from the New York Times and Ari Emanuel, concocted a fake scheme to destroy an innocent man’s life and get him blackballed from his profession to benefit their own personal images, fame, power, and money.

They are evil people.

This. It doesn't matter what the courts say or whether they are in the 100 most influential. They used to be likeable, non-controversial, vanilla actors. Now they are seen as manipulative backstabbers. I tried to get through Another Simple Favor because I loved the first movie. Now I can't stand watching Blake and turned it off.

There is nothing stopping any of these people from expressing support , especially other victims. “Silence is legally enforced” is just not a thing.

This is the more interesting part of the story, not sure we will ever find out.

I’m NYT obsessed mom and I think we might have opportunity to find out. It’s a bit of a long shot but I think the claims against them will survive in some form, and since then don’t settle these cases…

Taylor is in the same boat as any other potential witness -- if she makes public statements or obvious shows of support, it opens her up to certain questions in a depo that her lawyers no doubt want to shut down.

I do think if the cast and Plank testified against Baldoni, this would be very damning for him. Like if Isabella testified that he pressured her to show her character climaxing on camera as Blake alleges? That would be very damaging. I am sure Freedman would ask about pressure from Blake on cross examination, question her motives, but if she held up and was convincing? That would be big. Same if Slate gives supportive testimony. And Brandon Sklenar was on set a lot in scenes with Blake with Baldoni directing -- how he describes that dynamic could be critical.

The idea that none of this will matter or that none of these people will be believed is crazy.

This is desperate spin. Taylor swift is involved no matter what. No statement would change that, and she’s not dumb. Plus, she HAS made statements. She has not only not been seen in public with Blake for months, her bf unfollowed RR, she has in fact released various communications to the press, specifically bashing her ex bf.

I think Travis Kelce is a much bigger factor than people realize. I said this hundreds of pages ago, but athletes are particularly vulnerable to these sorts of situations where they can be accused SA, so much so that college freshman athletes get training on how to deal with groupies and stay out of trouble. Athletes are on the road a lot and groupies aggressively pursue them, wives and girlfriends be damned.

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes the men are guilty, Patrick Mahomes own brother was just convicted of SA. But that’s why they’d likely be even more disgusted if they felt Justin was being wrongly accused. Even if you take everything Blake is saying as true (and there have been many lies) what JB is accused of is incredibly mild and doesn’t rise to the level of SH or SA. Travis is incredibly close to Mahomes, and they and their teammates and their wives probably are disgusted with Blake and view her as not safe to be around because she makes false accusations.

There were rumors that Brittany Mahomes went on a girls trip and told her friends Blake came on to Justin and he rejected her and that’s what started this whole thing. Brittany could have no idea what she’s talking about but I 100% believe she talking about it and that she and the other wives are not on Blake’s side.

Finally, remember during that infamous October dinner, the last time Blake and Taylor were seen together, Travis was also there. Blake and Ryan might’ve told them what they were up to that night. I’d bet Travis was completely disgusted and even if he didn’t say so at dinner, he certainly made his feelings known to Taylor after.

Next thing you know, the NYT article comes out and Taylor conspicuously stays silent. Then the superbowl comes around. She can’t invite Blake because the other wives and girlfriends don’t want her around. And even though these football wives and girlfriends may not be Taylor’s bffs, she spends a lot of time with them now at Travis’s games, so they’re going to have an influence. I feel pretty confident in saying this particular crowd is none too pleased with Blake. And they’re less likely to be influenced by her celebrity because they’re in the sports world. The star of the chiefs is Mahomes, not Travis, and Brittany is his wife. It’s their turf.

Again, this is nonsense. They would be horrible witnesses for Blake at trial if they can’t answer the simple question “why did you support Blake’s accusations” in a factual manner.

Planlk won’t be a witness, she was not on set, and would not have direct knowledge of anything relevant.

No one has to say anything to show support - just being seen with BL would signal support and not be impeachable. The way posters are twisting the narrative is pretty desperate.
