Also, she bought a lot of books for the charity, special editions, but a lot went was her own stuff.

In other words, it was a complete disaster and seems unethical

Of course they are, because she doesn't like Justin because of his behavior at that dinner where he was trying to get her on his side.

I find it crazy that people think all of these people organically liked Blake more than Justin. People fawn over celebrity and power b/c they’re hoping it will benefit them, then like we saw with Sony they privately say how they really feel. It’s honestly not that hard to understand. The idea that the entire cast just organically turned against Justin is completely unhinged from reality.

Also Blake is simply not beating those racism allegations. She cozied up to everyone on the cast except the people of color: Justin (who she clearly sees as middle eastern given the Aladdin gif), Jamey and Hasan Minhaj (who was like I have no clue what’s going on).

I agree with you - very well said.

A site I love pointed out that Blake Lively said (African-American) Jamey Heath was “treating the set like a BBQ” in a text.
I really loathe her. I’ll leave it there.

WOW. How is anyone still defending this woman!!

NP but I don't get what the issue is here with this statement. This is an expression that isn't uncommon for when something is more casual than it should be. A BBQ is a casual get together - so treating the set like its a BBQ to me says, it is too casual and not professional enough. I don't get what the other meaning of it is that you are offended by.

NP, if it were a one off, perhaps. But pair that with calling Baldoni Aladdin, getting married on a plantation and setting up dinner next to slave cabins (which you can see in the pictures), a lifestyle company romanticizing the antebellum south, wearing blackface and an Afro, and just generally how Blake moves. BBQ is triggering OP in the same way watermelon or fried chicken would. These are things are big in black culture. There’s even a movie called the cookout. With Blake’s history, the presumption is she’s using it pejoratively. B/c of her problematic past, she’s not given the benefit of the doubt. Can’t say I blame OP for seeing sinister intent in the comment.

Who cares? Jamey Heath is a creepy pervo weirdo. Nobody should invite him to a bbq.

I just explains to you why some might be offended by Blake’s comment and this is your response? Disgusting. Guess this is Trump’s America.

This take is just bizarre to me. Here I will disagree with the other Blake supporter. The Baldoni stans are SJW, not MAGA.

I am the one who is pointing out how everyone professionally or personally involved with Baldoni is MAGA adjacent. It’s totally possible that some Baldoni supporters are in the “so far left, they’ve circled back to right” camp. It’s equally possible they are trying to both sides this by making racism the focus instead of workplace/sexual harassment and retaliation. We have seem this tactic used in other areas.

But what remains true if the Baldoni surrounds himself with maga supporters, and is using people closely tied to the Trump campaign. His parents are maga. The outlets siding with him tend to be right leaning. His team, including his lawyer, did interviews with maga adjacent media and podcasters. And in his own deposition, when he responds to a line of questioning about these issues, he feigned ignorance, but he answers were very carefully curated. I don’t think Baldoni is MAGA but think he knows that many of his supporters are and is fine with that.

And Blake and Ryan are pretty outspoken Democrats, so there is a political tinge to all of this.

If Blake is a democrat so help us all. She gives the lady who lied on Emmitt Till vibes. But that’s your champion for women’s rights🤮.

Source for Baldoni's parents being MAGA? I read his depo and to me it came off like he was laughing at the idea of him being with "red hats" because it's far from his worldview. (PP who thinks his supporters are SJW).

Joi Harris, a stunt woman, literally died on a Ryan Reynolds set. That explains why everything he touches ends up in chaos.

If Reynolds was negligent in any way, he should pay for that fully, but it has nothing to do with this case.

He wasn't even in charge of the set or there when it happened. This is such a weird thing people keep bringing up. It's horrible, but not only has nothing to do with this case, it doesn't even reflect on him personally.

You are so right. That explains the large donations to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights, among others.

Also don’t even get me started on the Bahá’í faith’s view on homosexuality.

I don’t think any anyone is saying it was Ryan’s fault. It was a horrible accident. But it came to light after that the family had to go to great lengths to get any kind of settlement. The Deadpool leadership team, which is including Ryan so he has to take some responsibility for this, did not treat them well. of course they didn’t want their family member to die but it was a big debacle with the settlement and them not admitting any wrongdoing even though it was clear there were lapses onset that caused the accidents, and this stunt woman should never have been put in that position. It was found there were protocols that were not followed.

Was Ryan responsible? No but the buck stops with leadership and he was part of that productions leadership. It’s a huge budget film and I’m sure they were rushing to get something done and they didn’t take the proper precautions and then they tried to bury it.

Leadership should’ve led with a safety first at all cost mantra so protocols would not have been skipped and the woman would be alive today.

What a pathetic attempt to distract from the issues!

In any case, the abuse of privilege and clout by Blake and Ryan is peak MAGA, no matter how they claim to vote.

Add in Blake’s past racism, mocking of religion and use of the Alladin emoji to represent Justin.

Definitely not someone this Democrat wants to associate with. By hey, if racism and elitism is your thing, go for it.

They didn't like him. I also don't follow people I dislike on Instagram. If I was a public person and someone asked me "why did you unfollow so-and-so on Instagram" I'd say "none of your business, that is not something you should care about" because... it's not.

It just seems like a weird amount of drama over something that I think really, really does not matter. It's just the shallowest possible thing.

Come on. It’s a huge public FU because people track that.

Did you not see the absolute sh-t storm when Travis unfollowed Ryan? They knew that it would be public with an hour. It’s a public way of saying I no longer like this person without having to put out a statement and if you don’t think it has impact, look at the Sony executives absolutely freaking out when it happened because they were afraid of what it would do to the movie. It mattered a lot.

But yes, it’s incredibly childish. It’s just a bunch of toddlers lashing out.

Yes, I see that some people online are obsessive about finding out which celebs follow others and post reddit threads and speculate about it. I have seen those headlines.

But it also seems to me that the obvious response to that would be "guys, it doesn't matter, it's just social media." People will get worked up about anything, but they forget about it the next day. The news cycle is always churning and this isn't actually important.

I just tend to think that could have been handled by just telling anyone who asks that it's not important, and they want to talk about the movie.

I guess I don't view it as childish to unfollow (why follow someone you actively don't like). I do think it's childish to care. Just let it go. Like in the example of Jenny Slate, she says she unfollowed because she didn't want to help Justin promote a "feminist ally" brand that she thought was BS, and I think that was a genuinely held opinion from her, not something she was talked into. She's entitled to that. But also -- who cares? Just move on. It's the fixating on this that I think is infantile.

Have to hard disagree about Slate. She literally was at Blake’s beck and call, and did everything Blake asked her to, it’s all in the texts. Blake even basically scripted Slate’s housing complaint.

Source?

The texts between Blake and Slate. Clearly you haven’t read them.

I have posted plenty on this thread about the issues. But I am not going to turn a blind eye to who Baldoni surrounds himself with, or the outlets his team goes to in order to cultivate support. I find Freedman, Nathan, etc disgusting on a personal and a professional level, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Baldoni hired them. Because I think Baldoni is a faux feminist and a false ally, and I hate that he and his team are using traditionally liberal causes to attack women (not just Lively).

Baldoni sits around like a pathetic lap dog to garner sympathy while hiring the worst of the worst to defend and represent him.

Sorry there was a Reddit thread that put together a series of articles, etc on them. I can’t find it so I will retract that statement. But the rest is easily backed up by a quick google search, especially the associations of his lawyers and representatives.

You mean the PR donation she gave after the internet dragged her over her wedding? And relative to their wealth (400M) the 200k they gave was pennies. If your donations are made to stop people from thinking you’re a racist, you might be a racist.

Lively hired the lawyer of Epstein’s victims to borrow credibility for them b/c her actual claims are small potatoes. Even the judge didn’t flinch at the phrase “small potatoes”.
