This is grossly slanted in favor of BL and RR. It is near parodic. |

This is actually a good article. It favors nobody. |

| Blake requested an extension to file her amended complaint and motion to dismiss until March 5 and March 20, respectively. Courts almost always grant first requests for extensions so we will likely not see any new pleadings in this case for several more weeks. |

Nope. Judge only granted her an extension until February 17th for the the amended complaint (did agree to extend deadline for the MTD to 3/20). Baldoni's lawyer filed a letter saying that if Lively got an extension until 3/5 for an amended complaint, they wanted an extension for responsive pleadings until 4/16. This might have been why the judge denied it -- if they both keep requesting escalating extensions forever, it just drags this out too long. |

it was actually pretty good. |

Yes I am assuming that because Blake failed to state what she was wearing and dropped a weird footnote about “general practice.” My years of practicing law have taught by that type of evasion is usually a sign of deception, or an admission that specificity would be bad for the party’s allegation. |

Do you think Liman is impatient with her counsel? He granted one additional business day for her complaint to be amended instead of the few weeks they asked for. |

Do you think this could be the issue with her claiming she was nude? In Blake’s mind, you’re only dressed if you’re wearing double the amount of clothes normal people would wear. So if you were in fact, just wearing one layer of clothes, you are nude? Did I just crack this case wide open? |

The movie with Richard Gere, etc. was announced in August 2020 in variety. It’s been crickets since and still listed as in development. It is likely never to be made or at least not with that cast. You may recall that Anne Hathaway was originally going to play Barbie, as was Amy Schumer. Then time goes by and the script changes. Margot Robbie ended up in the role. I really doubt after five years they are still planning on moving forward with the same cast. If they wanted an early 30s woman for Blake’s part, that ship has sailed. |

Yes seems like it, highly unusual to get a first request for an Extension denied, perhaps they have already had one? This is what happens when you do silly things like try to get lead counsel barred from taking plaintiff’s deposition. |

Blake has proven herself a very unreliable narrator, in other words, she’s lied on camera several times.
There is an interview where she talks about doing love scenes in films, and how and on the set of ends with us, she was the intimacy coordinator. She jokes, that’s not how it should be lol. This is going to come back her because she had proclaimed herself intimacy coordinator she should have new issues with any of the scenes. Later in another interview she talks about how they thankfully worked with a great intimacy coordinator and that’s now a standard. Next she’s doing an interview with her and Colleen on stage and the interviewer is talking about how she really enjoyed the footage of Blake directing Justin in a kissing scene and getting him to kiss her. Blake looks really uncomfortable and says what where did you see this? Colleen and the interviewer were both “it’s on Instagram!” Cringe for Blake because she know this is going to completely undermine her…it shows that she is clearly fine with directing him in unscripted kissing scenes but different rules apply for her. I have seen that footage from before any of this was public and her fans are like yes look at Blake directing Justin on how to kiss her - you go girl. She’s actually aggressively positioning him, so it’s just going to undermine everything she said about how that set operated. It seems like for weeks they went on and on in the texts about how she was trying to get her rooftop scene in the script. It was clear that she wrote it, her dragons were supporting her and so on and so forth. Then on the red carpet at the premier, she blurts out that Ryan wrote the rooftop scene. This causes major concern between Sony and Way-farer asSony is saying Ryan is not credited in this film and we have a problem. Then an interview with the head screen writer on the red carpet where she was physically shaken and confused when she finds out ryan wrote the same and tries to play it off. I think what happened is that Ryan actually wrote the scene but blake knew if she said to Justin that Ryan wrote the scene that they would have an excuse not to use it since Ryan wasn’t a part of the film. So that nonsense about her dragons supporting her is total BS because she didn’t even write the damn scene. She is a completely unreliable, and downright delusional. It makes it very easy to believe when Justin told her it’s going to be hot he was referring to the temperature and not her look. Or that she completely misrepresented the dancing scene as him coming onto her when he was clearly not. Or that she completely thought there were men on set constantly trying to ogle her when there was clearly not. |

Same poster here. She also had no problems stepping up to request more creative control/choice in wardrobe selection for her character. Damn the wardrobe experts that were hired for the film! BL, who claimed to haven’t even read the book, advocated hard to make her own wardrobe selection for her character because she ‘knew best’. And JB reluctantly allowed it due to what? Ultimatums/tantrums given by BL. There are several instances of tantrum throwing, including the rewrite, the wardrobe choices, how scenes should play out, that BL had no problems aggressively asserting her opinion on, else a tantrum/walk out would result. But in perhaps one of the most sensitive exchanges on set, she ‘supposedly’ stated lots of discomfort. Not once did she ask for an IC to neutralize the scene or to gain guidance from. She complained after the fact. I find it hard to believe that she was totally uncomfortable as claimed. She had alleged a lot of twisted stuff before, but was canceled when receipts showed she had made it up, or twisted its context. Credibility has been lost. So, Im willing to bet that if there are receipts on hand about this scene that they, too, will show that she exaggerated her discomfort by a lot. |

The most interesting part for me: someone told this columnist that producer Todd Black left the film after his hiring out of disgust for Lively and had to be paid more by Sony and Wayfarer to return. Todd Black is probably the party described with high praise along with her praising Jamey Heath in Baldoni’s timeline including the texts- the producer who is not Heath has their name redacted. Black is a serious dude in that business with a great rep. The comms from her with this praise were dated April 1st. “(Blanked out presumably Todd Black) was the producer if always wanted but never met.” |

| Sounds like Ryan and Blake have burned every bridge in Hollywood. The public isn't going to buy any hush-hush settlement and spin from their team. I think their careers are over. |

I'm a little skeptical of this article. Some of it rings true (I'm sure Sony and Disney are annoyed about being dragged into this fight, though it's actually Baldoni who is dragging in Disney). But the "source" starts off by saying studios are unhappy with Lively for costing them money on IEWU. This doesn't make sense because the movie's gross far exceeded expectations and it made a lot of money (grossed $350m on a $25m budget, even accounting for any cost overruns). I believe people might be reticent to work with Lively right now but don't buy that it's because she cost the studio money on this movie. Because she didn't. I get why they were upset about wardrobe costs during filming because there was no guarantee the movie would earn what it did. But after the fact? This movie wasn't even very good and it was a hit. That actually speaks to Lively's bankability, even if she is a nightmare to work with. |
