You can't cancel a nobody. But he will never be a Hollywood somebody now.

A Hollywood nobody. What type of people get canceled? It doesn't make sense in any other context.

God forbid sexual assaulters are canceled. I’m sure Boldoni can run for the US presidency in 2028.

I haven't read through everything, but the book is highly sexual. BL seemed to want to portray it as a rom com. The conflict between those opposing narratives got attention, and likely made it less successful than BL wanted it to be. At least that's what she's blaming it on. By Baldoni making a point to the media that it is a movie about sexual abuse, this undercut not only the level of success it could achieve, but also BL's own narrative.

I think they both have plenty of responsibility in terms of what went wrong here. But each prefers to point the finger at the other.

Yes, you absolutely do get to do that if you are in fact sexually harassed. TV shows and movies have birth scenes and loves scenes all the time. That doesn't mean you can't be harassed. You can even be harassed on the set of a porn film. The jury will decide whether harassment occurred or not, but this argument is ridiculous.

Sorry, are you posting from some other country? In the US we are innocent until proven guilty. You don't cancel someone based solely on allegations. Or, people like you do, and get the facts later. You are exactly what is wrong with our current state.

It’s a fair point that harassment has to be evaluated in context. Talking about sex in the context of directing a sec scene is different than talking about sex in a comedic scene.

Oh no! A good husband protecting his wife from an unprofessional sexual harasser. I'm sure we'll all be stunned and shocked at the texts that come out. If that suit we keep hearing about ever happens.

The last thing I would do in any professional situation is bring in my husband.

She was allowed to have a representative at the Jan meeting so she brought her husband. If your husband was an expert in your field you are not being honest if you say you would never bring him in, discuss anything with him, bounce ideas off him, etc. It makes perfect sense in this situation, less so if you're a dentist and your husband is a banker.

Yeah, things weren't going her way with the PR so she brings in RR to help and every PR stun he did was comedic. The publicity was a hot mess of confusion. Rom com or sexual abuse journey?

And for what it's worth, I have no horse in this race. I don't like her or Baldoni.

I suspect BL read the script and never read the book. It would explain some of the disconnect between their narratives of both how they wanted to market the film and what happened on set. I actually thought that about the movie itself, it couldn't quite decide what kind of film it wanted to be (it wasn't worth watching for anyone who hasn't seen it).

If I was being harassed, I’d bring a lawyer. An actor adds nothing.

This might explain the crazy wardrobe she wanted. Reading the sexy beanie text made me 10 percent dumber.

So before you talk to your boss you bring in a lawyer?

LOL yeah I’m from Mars. The pp I responded to suggested Blake is guilty for ruining an innocent man, yet somehow that’s fine. And, we don’t cancel sexual assaulters in the US (see: election) so my point stands.

He was accused of sexual harassment not sexual assault and even the sexual harassment claim has so many holes. When you modify text messages to support your point, something is really wrong.

I think the reaction to Justin Baldoni is simply a case of prejudice, which means to prejudge. Prejudge means you make a judgement without an examining the facts objectively. I am not saying he is innocent, but people should wait until everything comes out in a trial. If he is wrong than he should suffer the consequences. If he is the victim, however, she and her husband should be sued to oblivion.

Sexual harassment is only one form of social injustice. Using a position of power to secure economic gain through psychological intimidation is another, it is called extortion.
