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.

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.

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.

This post says a lot about you and your delusions and absolutely nothing about Baldoni. NBelieve whatever you want, it’s all emotions not facts with you, so nothing for the rest of us to discuss.

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.

Once again, it’s all bs. Keep calling her out on it.

And if you are also the poster making representations about the case law last night, I am still waiting for the cites for that.

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🤮. [/quote

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.

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.

No, I mean the earlier, larger donation that occurred well before any of the wedding plantation backlash.

They also gave some money to win that Time award last year. But it is quite funny that anyone can read Blake’s own words and think there is a truly altruistic bone in her body. It’s only about how it helps her.

Blake is problematic. If you can’t see it, you may need to do some self reflection. Aladdin alone should give you pause.

Then address the actions of his lawyer and representatives. Why are they clearly cultivating support from conservative media and conservative supporters? And why can’t you address it? And if Justin is big on social justice and feminism, why is he allowing it?

Baldoni supporters are all over this thread bringing up nonsense that has nothing to do with this case. I think it’s well within the realm of discussion to address his team, given what happened in Depp v Heard.

Also not the person you ask for case cites.

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.

Wasn't Slate the first to unfollow though? And also, I don't think Baldoni even noticed he was being unfollowed until Ryan did it. At least, that's what I remember from his texts with Abel.

I think it's pretty clear from Slate's depo and texts that she really disliked Justin from the jump and didn't need encouragement from Blake. She also really clearly articulates her issue with him. It's not like "I just didn't like him" or "he gave me the creeps." She considered him a fraud because he presents as an ally to women and then his in person behavior is... not that. Blake doesn't even express it that clearly, so I don't think Jenny is getting that from Blake.

Jenny slate is the only person involved in this with critical thinking skills. She was valedictorian at one of the best prep schools in the country and then went to an Ivy League college.

One more thing. If you really are a Dem and believe in liberal causes, why don’t you push back on some of the clearly misogynistic and quite honestly disgusting posts about Lively on this thread? Because we can discuss the case without resorting to posts about Lively only being famous because she got down on her knees or whatever.

It pretty clear Baldoni supporters prefer narrative that diminishes the idea that women can speak for themselves.

Oh please, you falsely have claimed he is MAGA and previously, that anyone that posts on “It Ends with Lawsuits” is MAGA. This is clearly a “you” issue.

Meanwhile, you are stanning Mean Girl Blake who got married on a plantation and only made friends with the white people on the set IEWU, thinks it’s funny to mock the religion of others and uses an Alladin emojito refer to Justin because she is mistakenly of the belief he is Middleeastern due to his faith. Can’t see the forest for the trees, apparently.

All that just to take orders from dum dum Blake. Her texts are beyond pathetic.

Keep deflecting.

My post literally says I don’t think Baldoni is MAGA. I said it less than an hour ago.

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.

I don't give AF. The rampant homophobia displayed by Baldoni's fans is gross.
