Why is Blake Lively so overrated?

Maybe move that to religion, but it looks like trash. And you can find former __________members (insert religion) slamming their previous religion for basically any religion on earth.

I feel like the people calling Bahai a cult and making it about religion are actually the pro-Baldoni people pretending to be Lively people to make him look like a victim. It's the obtuse writing style.

Whatever it is, it's not good and probably should stop!

Wayfarer is about religion. That is the point. These guys are gross hypocrites hiding behind their religion and their faux feminism to do the exact opposite. Baldoni is a fraud.

The cult has very extreme views on sex, in marriage only,


That's not extreme, and it's laughable to believe he follows that.


Regular porn watching starting in 5th grade seems like something that could warp.

He seems very conflicted and volatile, not to mention narcissistic. His proposal video is still floating around as is his Ted talk.

Not surprising he is in a cult and being raised in it may also have messed him up about sex and women.

Now- clearly we all understand how Trump got elected, right?


So Blake has to be handled like a fragile glass doll but she and her "team" can plant stories about Badoni. Do you not realize that she is doing the same thing she accuses Baldoni of? But I guess she and Ruan are just so special and gifted, so the rules are "different" for them than everyone else?

That attitude, plus their weird try hard self promotion, is why people are sick of both of them...


If you’re so sick of them find a new hobby. You’re way too worked up over people who have no bearing on your life.


OK. Please tell me why it's okay for Blake Lively to engage in a media campaign against Baldoni but he is not allowed to have a media campaign about his case. That attitude is extremely hypocritical.


Because it's illegal as retaliation for sexual harassment when he agreed not to do it. And then he did per the PR text exchanges. Look at where she filed her complaint. She didn't sue him until he tried to sue her.


Media articles are illegal retaliation? What if the purpose of the articles is to publicize his view rather than to retalliate?


So you admit he was doing it but want to quibble over the reasons?


Ok. You are the one who claimed the articles are illegal retaliation for a sexual harrassment complaint. My question is whether they are illegal if the main purpose was to publicize his case.


What case does he have? She filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department because of the retaliation. She didn't go after him personally until he sued her. It matters not at all if you personally like them or find them sexy or smug.


I don't know whether he has a case or not. That is for the jury to decide after hearing the evidence.

I thought he sued the New York Times, not BL. Are you saying that he is not allowed to talk about his lawsuit against NYT but Blake can continue to publicize her case? It's a strange double standard that only one of them has to stay quiet.


How has she publicized her case? Neither of them are talking directly they are all talking through lawyers. Not sure what you're even talking about here.


Are you kidding? Her publicists have planted tons of stories in the media about how she was harrassed and how it hurt her chances for the Oscar for her great acting


Was she wrong?



Yes, she was never under consideration for an Oscar. And all those embarrassing interview clips that came out were her work alone. Total lack of self awareness.


And where did she say that the harassment and campaign kept her from winning an Oscar?


I was joking about that part. My point is she thinks Baldoni ruined her great acting career. And by great I mean dressing up like a mannequin on Gossip Girl.

That needs further investigation. And if the studio is also about $ laundering or other uses by the cult, I suppose.

Nah. It’s a lot like Scientology and other cults.

How so? It doesn't even have tithing. What's your personal beef here?

Clearly on set, they must’ve had a good relationship at one time if she was inviting him to run lines while she was pumping and sending silly texts signing them x etc. Now that clearly is not an invitation to do more and I’m not at all saying that she did not have other unwelcome moments on set, but at one point, they clearly got along, and she felt comfortable with him.

It seems like what may have happened is that there were disagreements on set, and Ryan Reynolds got involved and I think that’s when things started to fall apart. It is so strange how involved he was in a movie he was never formally attached to, having the final editing cut, having a formal meeting with Sony and the production company in his apartment, where he screamed at Justin, which sounded totally off the rails BTW doing so much to promote the film as well as writing scenes.

I wonder if when he was jealous or felt threatened by Justin. He strikes me is very controlling. It just seems like people got too comfortable and professional lines were crossed and then Blake and Ryan took advantage of that when they wanted to get their way.

I don’t know if he will be successful in the suit but it absolutely seems that the New York Times article left out key context in their relationship and Blake’s side in this, not to mention, Ryan Reynolds harassing behavior of his own.



Good analysis


it’s possibly the Heath guy is the sketchy one. The only allegation in the complaint that seemed legit to me was him ogling her in the trailer. I wonder if in Hollywood it’s normal to be a bit casual about changing in front of others, but he pushed the boundary.


Is this Heath's first involvement in a Hollywood project? I think they're both creepy but Justin may know when to pull back


I think Heath, Sarowitz and Baldoni were all being sketchy. The 3 of them are all Baha'i and part of Wayfarer. Steve has the deep pockets and apparently is doing whatever he can, by any means necessary, to protect Wayfarer, and got caught redhanded playing dirty with the PR nonsense.


what does their religion have to do with it?


Because many regard it as a cult and you have these 3 guys who are all part of ,or own Wayfarer, all over everything on set all the time, harassing the cast and crew, and it starts to smell real bad.


This is absolutely ridiculous and bigoted. Dislike them all you want but this post isn't okay. And fwiw Blake Lively's ex, Penn Badgley, is also Baháʼi. So is Rainn Wilson. Two of the nicest people in Hollywood.


I’ve met many Baha’i through the years and I have heard a bad word uttered about the religion until now. It’s really gross. Perhaps JB is in a cult but Baha’i is not a cult.

Nobody likes hypocrites. It's not so much the religion as its adherents who preach one thing and do another.

So every religion that ever existed, and you as well pretending to have good values here defending a woman while slamming an entire religion that did nothing to her?

It’s more akin to a cult, for one.

When it becomes increasingly clear you don’t have facts on your side, change the topic. Yea, we noticed.
