+1. We can rehash this birth scene a million times over, but she'll never work again in anything she and her husband don't fully fund and produce. It's done. Even a victory in court (unlikely) is not going to change that. As a super high maintenance, mind-bogglingly entitled, combative, and difficult person with limited talent, she had a decent run, but no one will hire her. The men will be afraid of frivolous lawsuits and the older actresses/producers/directors producing their own content will blame her for weaponizing MeToo. She's putting herself in the bucket with the 2% of rapes that are found to be false accusations. This is a wildly, wildly unpopular group to join. Unless she has something mind-blowing that somehow never entered into her complaint, she's toast. This isn't a story of SH, this is a David and Goliath powerplay by her and her husband. It's ludicrous they're not settling.

I hope Baldoni refuses to settle if it ever came to that. She and that weasel of a husband of hers started the fire.....let the fire consumed them . At some point, the bill for arrogance,hubris,insolence comes due.

This is the person commenting publicly, stating that Lively was a nightmare to work with. She’s a woman and a former AD on several projects, incl serving as 4th AD on A Simple Favor:

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Found a little more on that on Reddit. She had commented that Lively made her cry and it’s why she quit being an AD, and now she says Lively supporters are aggressively attacking her and her family for speaking out. I guess now we know why more people aren’t coming forward.

TikTok litigation followers are reporting that a mediation is scheduled between Blake and Justin, so maybe Blake is getting the message. It seems early for a court ordered mediation but I don’t practice in NY so not sure of what their rules require.

I have not litigated in this specific court before, but it's standard in federal court for judges to refer to mediation after the first status conference, which in this case was last week. So timing seems normal to me.

Yeah mediation is pretty normal. It's only used for the settlement aspect but to get everyone on the same page without having to go in front of the judge so much. I personally think that's what it will most likely used for. To set an appropriate timeline for discovery and guildlines for future motions.

Which interview?

An interview from 2022 in which she proudly says she auditions for roles as an actor but when they hire her she reveals she wants a lot more responsibilities in order to “feel fulfilled.” It’s amazing how stupid she is to actually say this in an interview. But this is someone who wrote “la face Oakland booty” so not surprising. If she were just dumb I don’t think she would be getting this much hate, it’s the additional factor of being a classic mean girl that gets people going I think.

Yes, Forbes interview from September 2022. Why did she have to say this?

This sounds introspective to me. If she actually did make it clear when signing on with Wayfarer that she wanted to collaborate, I don't see an issue there. Clearly they got more than they bargained for and regret not making her sign her contract right away lol.

She says directly in the interview that she doesn’t tell anyone her desire to “collaborate” until after she’s hired. It’s a very deliberate omission.

DP. I feel like I watched a different interview or something. It's clear to me she's saying that when she was younger she used to people please in initial conversations about movies and then only once she was working on the movie would she start to express her ideas and want to have input, and she understands how that must have seemed like a "rug pull" to people because she wasn't being honest from the jump about how she wanted to participate.

But then she goes onto say that she's learned from that and now she tells people from the start she wants to collaborate and not "just" be an actor, and she can tell who to work with based on how receptive they are to that. Agree with PP it sounds introspective. It does seem like she was honest with Wayfarer from the start that she wanted to be a collaborator -- she asked for a producer credit from the start and it's clear from the messages between her and Baldoni that he was at least telling her he wanted to collaborate and have her be part of the process.

So at least in this instance, it doesn't look like she tried to mislead them -- it seems like they knew how involved she wanted to be from the start, agreed to it, but then later regretted it?

This is not the gotcha some of you seem to think.

For some reason she feels that it’s the producer’s responsibility to fulfill her needs. Is she the only actor in the film? What about the other actors’ needs? How about the director’s needs?

She should have started her own production company for her project where she could have "authorship" in order to feel fulfilled. She can be a producer/actor and whatever she wants to be. Surely Ryan and Blake have enough $$$$.

I'm the PP and while I still think this interview actually shows she was likely pretty upfront with wayfarer about the level of input she wanted, I actually agree with you.

I don't know why she hasn't started a production company to develop projects. You don't even have to have tons of money to do it -- a lot of actors do this as a way to help them have more "authorship" over projects because they can get involved earlier. Their little companies generally wind up working with studios or financing production companies because few actors have enough money on their own to bankroll entire films.

It's actually surprising to me that Lively/Reynolds don't have their own production company to develop their projects, especially when you consider everything Ryan is into. Does he have one on his own? I know he has that marketing firm, Maximum Effort.

My guess is they both lack the talent, creativity, and intelligence to accomplish this. It’s easier to hijack and critique someone else’s work even if you ask for permission first.

Right, and while it’s neat that she wants this collaboration, as was said multiple times in texts, check her contract. Just because you want it and just because some director and producer blows smoke up your ass to get you to sign doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a collaborative process. That’s just the real world and I’m sure we’ve all been situations where we told our input was wanted and then it was not used. I mean, I feel for her, but Hollywood is a pretty brutal industry and I just don’t know that she’s earned the storytelling chops. As others have said women who have wanted to take control of their own stories, have started their own production companies or have directed films. Anna Kendrick just directed her first feature, which I really enjoyed and Scarlett J is set to direct her first feature coming out next year as well. If she wants to direct, she should just direct and not try to take over someone else’s film.

I get the impression from this lawsuit and from many other things I’ve heard that Blake actually doesn’t really want to do the hard work of making a movie. It sounded like she was disappearing for days and weeks on end and not even doing basic things like learning her lines when she was supposed to for this movie. She claims she wrote the rooftop scene and now we know that Ryan actually wrote it, she claims she edited when actually she just hired the Deadpool editor. She wants control and credit, but I don’t think she actually wants to do the work.

I totally agree with you. She is just lazy and wants everything handed to her. Classic nepo baby.

DP but the mediation can be used to address conflicts in discovery. They can't set the timeline in mediation but they can come up with one they agree to and then the judge will sign off on it. One reason courts order mediation starting this early is specifically to try and get the parties to collaborate and start resolving some issues so they don't have to litigate every single thing. You see this a lot in family court but I've seen it in lots of non-family civil cases as well. Judges really hate dealing with parties that just want to fight in court all the time and bring motions to punish or trick each other. It's more work for them and they wind up feeling used -- many judges will push very hard on parties like this to sort out these smaller, non-dispositive issues (like when a deposition happens) via the mediator and then just tell the judge what they decided and he'll sign off on it.
