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?

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.

I’m the poster you are responding to and in full disclosure I have more to say about this because this actually just really pisses me off. Blake waltzed onto a set that people spent years and I mean years crafting between the screen play and the production and set design and hiring and just laying out the vision for the movie. Then she decides she wants to make some tweaks and she calls that collaboration, but it’s just not.

Years and years ago before Jessica Alba had her honest company, I remember there was a writer’s strike and she spoke up and said that she improvs some of her lines anyway and a lot of actors do so she didn’t really see the importance of writers.

People came out of the woodwork to absolutely slam her, saying that similar to what I said, she waltzes into a set people has spent months crafting the story and the script. She may improv a line or even part of a scene but it’s because people have spent months if not years, setting the tone for the story, creating the world she walked into, crafting the characters and giving them backstory. In short, she just didn’t get it. I feel like Blake is the same way. She has no idea of the hard work that went to everything that she just walked into.

It’s actually infuriating and what is most infuriating is even after all that she just won’t get it and probably will think that she was deeply wronged.

Such good points! Round of applause. I’ve posted upthread but I live in NYC and have two different female filmmaker acquaintances, one of whom has an episode for a globally famous streaming show in her credits. The processes that Alba and Lively regard as nothing, where they are self-anointed improvers and editors, took real from real people. The podcast I found titled Daily Dose of Dana is helmed by a woman who worked as a casting director and talent agent for years, who became incensed, slowly over multiple episodes when doing a forensic exam of both complaints. In essence she said that when his response is used as a timeline overlaying her claims, it is evident that Blake Lively went into a set where she was respected and supported without signing her contract, was constantly sick and absent, was constantly communicating in writing how well things were going, and then when there was a rip in continuity because of the writers strike, began to make truly unusual demands including for the dailies (asking IN WRITING SEVERAL TIMES PERSISTENTLY who else besides Baldoni [he bought the book rights! He worked for years!] saw the dailies), including requesting SOLO time with a separately hired pro editor in the editing bay (for TWO WEEKS), it goes on and on. She wouldn’t let him have his “directed by” credit on the poster - she threatened to not promote to Sony! It’s in writing!

There is NO mahphokin WAY she was transparent about her desires to take over this project. NO WAY NO DAY NOPE SORRY. There is a reason she has no public support here. There is a reason Hoover- coward that she is - wiped her post supporting BL from her Instagram when she returned. Dude - I’m incensed too. She was completely but completely in the wrong here.

I agree with everything you say, but do want to point out that this sort of, escalation I'd say, also coincides right at the time Ryan Reynolds came back from Australia. Don't get me wrong, I think Lively is a total nightmare, but I would not be surprised if Reynolds was the one to really turn up the heat, starting with tearing Baldoni a new one at their place.

In other words, they have nothing at this point, but they are embarking on a fishing expedition. I can't recall how long service providers retain text records, but I don't think she'll retrieve much from 18 months ago.

1000000%. She has nothing.

Agree. Classic fishing expedition.

She's entitled to discovery, just like Baldoni.

No it's not a fishing expedition. They know he was hired and involved in Justin PR team. They have to figure out the extent of it now. This is a perfectly normal discovery request.

They will most certainly also use forensic specialist to recover as much as they can only their physical devices. UFED can recover thousands of "deleted" messages.

When you have to ask for EVERTHING you have nothing.

I'm really pissed off about this. I absolutely loved Blake in A Simple Favor. Now she irritates me so much I'm not sure I'll be able to stomach the sequel. She's like a teenage mean girl who never grew up, and I'm learning all this crap about her against my will because of the wall to wall coverage of all these crazy details like her inviting JB over to watch her pump. Make it stop

In other words, they have nothing at this point, but they are embarking on a fishing expedition. I can't recall how long service providers retain text records, but I don't think she'll retrieve much from 18 months ago.

1000000%. She has nothing.

Agree. Classic fishing expedition.

No it's not a fishing expedition. They know he was hired and involved in Justin PR team. They have to figure out the extent of it now. This is a perfectly normal discovery request.

When you have to ask for EVERTHING you have nothing.

Yup! Plus Justin has all of the receipts in the form of the video of BL and all of the yummy texts from her and her perineum loving husband.

I feel really bad for Anna Kendrick. She is going to be punished for BL’s bad behavior.

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?

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.

Yes so much your last paragraph. I had that impression from exactly what JB has said in this lawsuit - she didn't read the book, didn't want to meet the IC at the outset, etc. Not doing the actual "work" except the fun stuff like clothes.

This is the most interesting part of the case to me. I don’t care if it’s fishing or skeet shooting or bowling. I would like more info on what these crisis management people were doing and how they operate, if Wallace will be honest enough to produce those docs.

Not sure why anyone wouldn’t want this info.

Exactly this. Can you imagine if she did have a production company and you were an investor on a film and the Director and primary producer was pulling this shit? No way. She seems to operate in a world of little to no accountability. The production was jumping through hoops for her at every step of the way and it still wasn't enough. She definitely does not have what it takes to assume a higher pressure, higher stakes role and drive it to completion with millions on the line.

I agree with you about this being the most interesting part of the case. I am interested to know exactly what Jed Wallace did. However that info comes out, I support it. I feel like as a consumer of movies and television and, yes, celebrity gossip, it would benefit me personally to know how the sausage is made. I want the PR process to be demystified so that I can better understand how it impacts me. In the same way that understanding how advertising works has made me less resistant to its tricks.
