I don’t know. I’m on a Reddit forum called it ends with lawsuits where they post screenshots of the documents. But they also have a full list of all the exhibits and docket numbers if you want to go through them like that.

So again in preproduction before anyone was on set, in early April 2023, Ryan Reynolds text Liz plank. I’m paraphrasing but it’s something like Mr. Baldoni… Implies that he doesn’t like him.

Liz plank essentially replies back yeah he’s a major nightmare. I was on set with him one day and it was a nightmare, but it’s survivable.

OK, but she continued doing a podcast with him for six months after and only resigned when the New York Times article dropped. Yet it clearly shows that Ryan and Liz were communicating about him months and months prior to the New York Times article and even before shooting had started! if she thought Justin was such a nightmare in April, why did she continue doing a “man enough” podcast about feminism with him for six more months? I mean, they produced dozens and dozens of podcast episodes in between those dates not to mention she’d been doing the podcast with him for two or three years prior?

But she had a problem with him on a set one day previously????

So confusing, but doesn’t make Liz look great and it just makes it look like there was a lot of scheming well in advance of this production.

Let me guess, the complete lack of evidence and the Plantation bots are ready to hang Justin and Jamey.

Also I believe she has only done podcasts with him so what was this “one day shoot”?

So Blake was running around and calling Justin a clown and a doofus director. Wow, he sounds like a really scary predator and like someone who was really threatening her.

Thank you. Look like I came from the statement of facts.

Nope not the case at all. Lots of low grade complaints and nothing to support Blake. But she sure does a good job of demonstrating she is a mean girl with the maturity level of a middle schooler. Taylor doesn’t come off any better (and yes, there are Taylor texts, so apparently she’s a liar too).

The fact is this was a $6 million shoot and it was pretty clear the powerful players thought they could take it over from this “doofus clown” so that Blake could get some credit as a producer because she’s never going to earn that on her own. So she colluded with powerful people including Ryan and Taylor and it seems like they even looped Matt Damon and his wife in, Ben Affleck, and Bradley Cooper to go to the screening and say that they liked Blake’s version better.

Yes, it’s very mean girl but it’s also so very pathetic. Blake has been in this industry well over 20 years and this is what she’s been reduced to?

We’ve seen thousands and thousands and thousands of documents over 14 months. No evidence of any sexual harassment yet. evidence that people really don’t like Justin, but not even so much as a cuss word from him. No evidence he got angry, lost his temper, sent inappropriate texts, nothing. You would think for as much press as this case has gotten he bribed people for s-x on set or something. Which frankly is reasonably common place on a Hollywood set sadly, but no, nothing.

He offered her a body double if she didn’t feel comfortable and she declined. He sent a text asking Sony if they could rewrite a scene so she is clothed to make her more comfortable. Sony execs pushback, saying we want the movie to be sexy and “bring the heat” but Blake was not up for it. She clearly should not have taken this role. I don’t know if anyone seen the movie, I have and there’s very little Blake’s body in this movie. The one sort of sex scene of them she is wearing high waisted tights and none of her lower body is shown. She’s in a bra. It seems like sony executives wanted more, but Justin was on her side.

Finally, she reached out to the head of her WME agency asking if they could put pressure on Sony and Wayfair to push the body scenes out because she was working out four hours a day and she could not get her body where she wanted it. I have a lot of sympathy for her being postpartum but again she simply should not have done this movie. And I’m sorry, but it was only supposed to be like a four week shoot with her so when did it exactly did she want to shoot these scenes???? She doesn’t sound very bright.

She was clearly deeply insecure, and not in a good mindset. But that is not Justin’s fault and he seemed to be doing everything to help her.

Because it’s been much debated here, Blake met with the intimacy coordinator exactly one time and it was to discuss her nudity rider.

The make up artist's deposition describing the incident with Heath coming into the makeup trailer describes a much worse situation than I think has been previously described.

She says that Blake was naked down to her underwear because her costume had been handed out the door to the costume people, and that Blake was sitting in a chair facing the mirror in just her underwear with her breasts exposed, nursing her baby.

She also says that when Heath knocked on the door, all three women inside yelled no, don't come in, because Blake was undressed, and that he came in anyway, and Blake asked to do the conversation later since she was undressed and he insisted on staying. And that he was looking at her in the mirror the entire conversation, and he didn't even close the door behind him while he talked to her.

One of the makeup artists threw a towel over Blake's exposed breast just to cover it up, but she describes just feeling so uncomfortable and never having experienced anything like that on a set before.

Sorry, that sounds really bad.

Reading the intimacy coordinator's depo now and it also seems pretty bad. Justing frequently adding sexual content to scenes that wasn't in the script. Also the way he handled the scenes with the two younger actors sounds pretty bad, and the IC actually insisted on being on set for a scene that didnt' even involve sex (according to the script) because of concerns Justin would try to add initimacy to the scene with these two very young actors.

I haven't read anything else so dont' know anything about the Taylor Swift texts or whatever, I've been really interested in hearing from other people on the set for a while.

I am reading the exhibits in order so im not at the juiciest stuff. I read Coleen Hoover and Ange Gianetti. Hoover can't stand Justin and appears to have come to the conclusion herself. Interesting she says she wanted the movie to reflect the book, not much sex (knowing Baldoni elsewhere acts like it's filled with sex). Gianetti is more neutral, maybe the only woman deposed that the Baldoni supporters will like. She called Blake a f ing terrorist over the 17 point list.

Deposition of Sony execs are really interesting and kind of epic - the CEO of Sony, the president of Sony and the chief communication officers of Sony said this about Blake

- that she bought the bad publicity “onto herself” and then she insisted on “bringing drama around the film and it backfired”

- they called the decision to promote her hair products along with the film, “epically stupid, and she should know better”

Wow, sounds like no love lost between Ryan Blake and Sony. Guess they won’t be in any more Sony flicks lol

I’m confused… I’m reading that he tried to get her a body double and tried to let her be clothed and that ain’t execs pushback as they wanted sexier. They were actually pushing for a R rating and it seemed like in every text that I read, he was trying to protect Blake.

I don’t understand the very young actors. Isabel and Alex were dating in real life and they were 21 and 22. Also, they signed on to do a romantic film with sex scenes so again I don’t think anyone should be shocked about what they asked to do.

But Isabel sent justin a really nice text after her scene concluded and thanked him for providing such a safe comfortable set. Weird words to use right? But then we know that Blake was trying to get her a producer credit so I guess her tune changed.

Her deposition is also pretty damming and that she was never on set with Blake and that she doesn’t seem to be supporting Blakes take on things.
