No. She will be mocked and judged by other NYT reporters for messing this stupid non-story up and being blinded into thinking she’s a celebrity insider and friends/confidants with the Blakes of the world. |
Daily Mail may be a tabloid but it’s messy AF and I love it!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14721283/unreported-truth-picture-Taylor-Swift-Travis-Kelce-Blake-Lively-MAUREEN-CALLAHAN.html Blake Lively has never seemed particularly bright. But her alleged attempt to blackmail Taylor Swift by threatening to leak private texts will be the end of her — socially, professionally and reputationally. |
Omg. You so, so, so want to believe you are on here interacting with celebrities and important journalists and not just housewives and moms. You’re so adamant that there aren’t bots or seeded stories against Lively, but one of you thought Lively herself was posting in here, and now Twohey. 👌 |
It a depends on the content of the texts. |
What does the article say? |
The allegedly intelligence and business savvy of these Hollywood bozos is always fake. Blake and Ryan are both uneducated morons; Blake especially so. |
+10000 not sure if that was ‘Arlington mom’ but that poster was nuts. She ran to Jeff and was desperately trying to get this thread shut down- her latest theory was that we’re all plagiarizing!!! And Convenient timing right before the extortion issue broke. Yes, I sound crazy myself but this poster is absolutely treating all this extremely personally. |
Totally agree with you. The pp is being nuts. The journalist will be disgraced. I feel bad for her. She was duped |
Disgraced? Y'all are naive as hell. Is Jake Tapper disgraced running point for senile Biden? He’s still paid millions a year, still an CNN star, and was just given a multi-million book deal detailing he knew all along Biden was losing his mind (in contrast to his actual coverage on CNN!). Twohey has not and will not be fired. She will become a multi-millionaire, if she isn’t already, off a career peddling bullshit. |
I agree with this take. There's a big market for sleazy journalists who are willing to spin. She just raised her profile as someone willing to lie for profit. Her future is secure. |
We're talking about professional reputation among people who know about these things, not about money/fame. No real journalist (or readers of serious journalism) think Jake Tapper is anything other than an entertainer, or that CNN is much more than dismaying fear-hype-drama. The NYT reporter may well continue to have wealth and fame but this is a major hit to her prior credibility as a Serious Reporter and that is something totally different. IYKYK. |
DP. I think it's well established that the ENTIRE REASON for this drama is that Blake was upset that randos were saying mean things about her on the internet. We don't know which randos she was upset about and it doesn't really matter. It confirms that she is, indeed, looking at the internet for gossip about herself. So I dont think its out of bounds for anyone to wonder if she reads this. |
Okay, well you gatekeep that Trusted Reporter bit (and good luck finding anyone member of the public willing to actually extend that trust to the media) while Jake and Ms Twohey rake in the cash. I'm sure she'll reserve some of that cash to wipe her tears about being the target of professional jealousy. |

Why are so many journalists taking Blake's side and insistent on this notion that pro-Baldoni supporters are alt-righters? It's ridiculous. There was that mommy sleuths article in Glamour. And the latest dumb take is from Slate, by Heather Schwedel:
"It’s Lively contention that the public’s sudden dislike for her didn’t spring out of nowhere and in fact had a clear cause: a smear campaign orchestrated by her It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni and his associates. She filed a legal complaint against them in December, alleging that the effort to ruin her reputation was retaliation for Lively speaking out about the uncomfortable environment on the film’s set. Baldoni fought back, filing a lawsuit against the New York Times, which reported on Lively’s complaint, as well as Lively herself, alleging that their conflict was a result not of his misconduct but her efforts to wrest control of the movie from him. Initially, Lively seemed to seize back some goodwill and prompt reflection among some of the people who had joined the pile-on against her, but as the weeks wore on, public reaction congealed into something else entirely: Support for Baldoni built into a full-fledged online movement, with the flames fanned by right-wingers taking up the cause and Baldoni’s own legal team, which fed his supporters a steady stream of content on which to perform half-baked analysis. Every new bit of information only confirmed their belief in Baldoni’s innocence. When, for instance, Baldoni’s side released a rambling, apologetic, over-familiar voice note he recorded for Lively during filming, it didn’t matter that many reasonable people were creeped out by it—to Baldoni supporters, it was yet more evidence of Lively’s lies." https://slate.com/life/2025/05/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-ryan-reynolds-lawsuit.html |
