Did you see this part (excerpt from People):

“For example, the Times article wrote that ‘[Baldoni] repeatedly entered [Lively's] makeup trailer uninvited while she was undressed, including when she was breastfeeding.’

However, Baldoni's complaint shows alleged text messages from Lively that read, ‘I’m just pumping in my trailer if you wanna work out our lines.’ Baldoni responded, ‘Copy. Eating with crew and will head that way,’ which the lawsuit claims shows Baldoni did not enter uninvited.

It’s not fair to want to normalize breastfeeding/pumping (it’s just feeding your kid!) but then also ascribe it a sexual component. How would anyone understand how to behave there? I think a lot of her sexual harassment claims could be similarly NBD. Like when she says he hired his friend for some intimate scene. Is that a problem if the friend is a professional? Everyone knows everyone in Hollywood. What did this “friend” or JB do to make this problematic? There has to be more.

Agree those texts would show that on that specific occasion, Baldoni had a kind of invitation to her trailer and also indicate that Lively did not seem concerned about being seen pumping or breastfeeding (IME it is harder to conceal your boobs while pumping than while nursing, and I personally find pumping to be a more awkward experience during which to interact with another person).

However, that doesn't undermine Lively's complaint that much. She's alleging a pattern of harassing behavior. Even if the court or a jury finds that Baldoni had permission to enter her trailer on that occasion, or that Lively was comfortable with him nearby while nursing or pumping, there are a bunch of other claims in her complaint that would be unaffected by that defense. For instance, Lively reports being pressured to do scenes nude or partially nude that were not originally written that way and for which the intimacy coordinator had not been consulted and there were no nudity riders in place. She also reports that Baldoni went "off script" in scenes not written to be intimate in nature (for instance a scene in which they were dancing together and that was filmed without audio) and engaged in intimate activity with Lively without the intimacy coordinator or cleaning that with Lively in advance so that she could prepare and feel comfortable. She also alleges that both she and her staff were shown videos of a naked woman giving birth, without their consent, engaged in conversations about porn and sexual experiences, and that Baldoni on multiple occasions off the set made comments about Lively's body and clothing that was sexual in nature.

Baldoni's complaint does not address all of these and most of them have multiple witnesses and documentation to support the claims.

So even if Baldoni had permission to enter Lively's trailer while she was pumping, that doesn't disprove her entire complaint.

Most of these claims will come down to credibility. She’s going to have a much harder time than many of her supporters are willing to admit.

I still think she has a viable retaliation claim but the full picture of her underlying complaint is going to mean it will be very hard for her to find work again.

Retaliation for what? I don’t think she made a great tie to the sexual harassment claims even in the complaint.

Well you have to see his actions as showing that he is concerned she is making continued complaints.

So you assume the conclusion?

Based on what exactly? If you call out harassers you don't deserve to work? Have you noticed all the other women speaking out saying the same thing? Kate Beckinsale is one. Women know this is happening. Do you think they should just shut up and take it in order to keep working? Are you a woman?

Woman and a former plaintiff’s lawyer

Abigail Breslin also recently spoke out. Not the first time she has either

Abigail Breslin did not speak about about this case.

Oh no? Here is what she said:

https://ew.com/abigail-breslin-blake-lively-sued-reporting-costar-unprofessional-behavior-8767740

Breslin did not mention Lively by name, but referred to "recent events regarding the attempt to destroy the career and livelihood of a fellow actress and woman."

Hmmm what could that be about?

Wow, not the brightest bulbs around here. She is referring to another one of her acting projects where she was sued for breach of contacts for refusing to
be around Aaron Eckhart.

Are you so dense that you think Abigail is referring to the This Ends with Us set?

The point is that it's part of a pattern. You want to nitpick one or two things while ignoring the elephant in the room.

no, stringing together multiple non-harassing things does not turn it into a pattern of sexual harassment. It turns it into a pattern of Lively distoring/exaggerating.

Agree, it just seems that she wanted to get back at him for saying less than flattering things about her. Cooler heads should have prevailed.

It was a targeted PR attack to plant negative stories including using fake accounts and manipulation of reddit threads and is being strongly critiqued in PR circles. Redditors have noted that mentioning specific PR names tied to the case has led to sudden bot downvotes (Jed Wallace)

We’ll see. Even if true, that doesn’t make a case for sexual harassment. It seems Blake hasn’t been popular with many od her co-stars, including female co-stars.

Also, if she had to keep coming up with ways to show she's a victim, while expecting everyone to ignorie her own campaign against Baldoni maybe it's not a strong a case as she the thinks.

If she has to keep coming up with new arguments to support her claims of being a victim, while ignoring her own PR campaign against JB, the case is not as shocking as she thinks. .She exhibits a bizarre victim mentality for someone who has wealth and fortune in the top one percent.

Ryan and Blake are evil. I cannot believe how they bullied, intimidated and harassed Baldoni so Blake could take over the project.

Baldoni's countersuit exposes Blake as a liar who is a diva. She wanted to push Baldoni out to take full creative control and after intimidation and harassment from Ryan, she did.

I am not crying,. It is puzzling that it is okay for Blake and her sexy, manly husband to intimidate people to get their way; yet, everyone has to kiss Blake's ass. Must be wonderful to have such a high opinion of oneself.

Wow. This is really adding a lot more nuance. It seems like lively was calling the video of Baldoni’s s wife giving birth pornography, which is absolutely ridiculous. Was it inappropriate and obnoxiously mansplaining for him to show that video to a mom of 4? Absolutely- but he is a director and he was probably telling her that some women throw off their clothes and she was probably saying no,….he probably should’ve just deferred to her, but I could see him pulling up the video. again, inappropriate and obnoxious, but that is what she called porn?!?!

And now it seems like him entering the trailer was probably the pumping incident where she invited him in.

And it also seems like he scheduled a meeting with the intimacy coordinator and she said she was good and didn’t need it. What the actual F?

I don’t think Justin is a good guy but the nuance certainly seems that Ryan and Blake acted crazy and controlling. Why did they have that meeting at their apartment? It seems completely unprofessional, if they were going over issues on the set or with the film that should have done that in a neutral setting. And why was Ryan even there?!?!?! Insane that they’ve had that at their apartment.

I feel bad for Blake - it seems to me her husband has gone off the deep end. I actually think she’s a decent actress. He is tanking her career. I’m wondering if he is the one behind of the businesses she is starting, the hair care line and all the drink products. Seems like she just wants to act and be a mom and he is creating all these problems.

For instance, Lively reports being pressured to do scenes nude or partially nude that were not originally written that way and for which the intimacy coordinator had not been consulted and there were no nudity riders in place. She also reports that Baldoni went "off script" in scenes not written to be intimate in nature (for instance a scene in which they were dancing together and that was filmed without audio) and engaged in intimate activity with Lively without the intimacy coordinator or cleaning that with Lively in advance so that she could prepare and feel comfortable. She also alleges that both she and her staff were shown videos of a naked woman giving birth, without their consent, engaged in conversations about porn and sexual experiences, and that Baldoni on multiple occasions off the set made comments about Lively's body and clothing that was sexual in nature.

Baldoni's complaint does not address all of these and most of them have multiple witnesses and documentation to support the claims.

So even if Baldoni had permission to enter Lively's trailer while she was pumping, that doesn't disprove her entire complaint.

Most of these claims will come down to credibility. She’s going to have a much harder time than many of her supporters are willing to admit.

I still think she has a viable retaliation claim but the full picture of her underlying complaint is going to mean it will be very hard for her to find work again.

Based on what exactly? If you call out harassers you don't deserve to work? Have you noticed all the other women speaking out saying the same thing? Kate Beckinsale is one. Women know this is happening. Do you think they should just shut up and take it in order to keep working? Are you a woman?

Woman and a former plaintiff’s lawyer

Abigail Breslin also recently spoke out. Not the first time she has either

Abigail Breslin did not speak about about this case.

Oh no? Here is what she said:

Breslin did not mention Lively by name, but referred to "recent events regarding the attempt to destroy the career and livelihood of a fellow actress and woman."

Hmmm what could that be about?

Wow, not the brightest bulbs around here. She is referring to another one of her acting projects where she was sued for breach of contacts for refusing to
be around Aaron Eckhart.

Are you so dense that you think Abigail is referring to the This Ends with Us set?

Are you so dense that you don't see why she's bringing this up now? Yikes.

Changing your story, I see. She is not “speaking out” about Lively. She is speaking out about her own situation. God you are dense.

No shit Sherlock. The point was "women are speaking out" about sexual harassment. You are so stupid.

I'll quote what was said upthread that we are talking about since you can't read well:
