You’re trash.

Looks like some belt tightening in the Baldoni household due to some career blunders and missteps.

Baldoni brought this on himself. He could have just not been a weirdo on his set and avoided calling actresses sexy or insisting all women give birth nude, but he couldn't lock it down and decided to wild out. And then he panicked when he thought reports of what he'd done might come out and trashed his own lead actress in the press as the movie came out, which is crazy unproductive. Plus if his PR flak hadn't been dumb enough to text all about that on a work phone as she was leaving her employer while stealing clients, he would have gotten away with it. Just a string of unforced errors by Team Baldoni.

Sucks for his wife and kids though, they didn't do anything wrong.

Except they really have no evidence for the retaliation campaign. There is an email from the CEO of Sony saying Blake brought this on herself. He said she knew better and she created all this drama and it backfired on her, the launch of the hair product line while promoting this movie was “epic level stupid” and that her career was over. And that’s he never seen anything like it in his career.

That is a pretty compelling email from an expert in the industry. You don’t get to be CEO of a major studio if you don’t know some things.

Meanwhile, lively’s team after subpoenaing dozens and dozens of content creators, found nothing. Jed Wallace was literally monitoring lively‘s team smearing Baldoni, and there is a voice note with him saying some of the things he has found, advising them to lay low and let lively‘s team continue to beat themselves as “everything is traceable.”Wallace is not stupid enough to unleash bots when he knows it’s easily traced back to him. Yeah that is exactly what lively’s team was doing.

They’re going to have to go to the jury if it makes it to trial with essentially a conspiracy theory, while Baldoni‘s team can have the CEO of Sony read the email saying that in his expert opinion, she tanked her career by the missteps that she made, not Sony and not Wayfarer. no studio advised her to launch her hair care campaign or market her and her husband’s alcohol businesses. Epic level stupid indeed.

I don't know the timeline, was that email before or after the Nathan/Abel texts were made public? I can see how he'd say that if he was working with the information that was available at the time (just the spate of bad publicity, without knowledge of the background stuff, one would assume the bad publicity was solely caused by Blake's behavior). It may even tend to help Blake's case if he said he'd never seen anything like that.

These are the things that will need to be teased out during trial. Should be fun.

Yes that email was from August 2024, when the publicity was bad but before anyone knew Baldoni et al were literally chatting about how to make Blake and Ryan look bad in the press and online to discredit Blake.

Blake's an idiot liar who brought the backlash on herself. She asked for it.

But what the Sony CEO was referencing was not a result of a smear campaign. Is Blake lively saying that the launch of her hairline was Baldoni’s idea and part of a smear campaign? That was what he called epic level stupid.

Bots didn’t make the CEO of Sony send an email that said Blake will never work again because of her own actions.

There was also exchange from Sony saying that she created this drama and it backfired. That’s not part of the smear campaign - that was when fans were pushing back about why Justin was in the basement and left off the poster, etc..

People tend to forget that this was not a normal movie. There were millions of fans looking forward to the book adaption of this movie who had been following Justin Baldoni since they found out he bought the rights back in 2019. He amassed a fan base because Colleen Hoover and him were palling around taking pictures together, and Colleen was gushing about how she was so excited for him to make the film - so fans were invested in him and were really confused when all of a sudden the cast turned against him and he wasn’t allowed at the premie.

This caused a lot of backlash that Blake got.

Maybe people don’t remember what caused Blakes backlash but these were the main issues that she was confronting in August 2024:

Criticism that she launched her hair product line in conjunction with this movie

Criticism that she had pop up events advertising her and Ryan’s alcohol lines and naming a drink after the abuser in the film

An interview where she was asked by a reporter rather earned what she would do if women wanted to come up to her and share their story of domestic violence. (A dumb question, yes.) But it was a softball question, and she completely fumbled it -with her legs curled up under her casually, she made a really sarcastic remark about how essentially she didn’t want fans coming up to her. “What should I share my location with them? Drop a pin?” It got a lot of back lashing was seen as tone deaf and insensitive. Further, you could tell it was bugging Blake as a few months later when she was texting Taylor, she was still talking about it.

None of those instances is lively alleging was part of the “untraceable” smear campaign.

The one interview they were hoping to pin on the smear campaign was the little baby bump interview which went viral and caused extreme backlash, but that is not even going to be part of the trial. The journalist who posted that video was subpoenaed and in her deposition said she’s never been contacted by Baldoni’s team. There is no tracing Baldoni’s team back to her, so that was a dead end.

However, of note, one of the Sony executives criticizing her said she should have apologized to the reporter. So even that misstep was on Blake. It went viral as did Anne Hathaway‘s interview, and Hathaway immediately apologized, and that is why we are not still talking about that interview two years later.

I don’t know if selling a $9 million mansion is really in the category of belt tightening, but OK.

I was led to believe that Baldoni was just a poor, misused, middle class fellow with the dream of making great art until Blake Lively came along to steal his film. Now it turns out he owns a 9m mansion and spends all his time on vacation in Costa Rica? So he's just your run of the mill arrogant rich dude? How did this man become the personal avatar of so many keyboard warriors? What a mystery.

Justin's father Sam describes himself as being the founder of a multi billion dollar busines - he founded Baldoni entertainment and according to him he was the founder of product placement in Hollywood and in China and this made him very rich. I have no idea if this is true. Sam is now an executive consultant for Wayfarer. According to reddit he is MAGA based on who he follows on social media.

Blake and Ryan clearly did not need a smear campaign to make them look bad in the press. Is the smear campaign still happening? Because they are getting horrible press and most of their former friends won’t be seen with them.

Don’t bother explaining. BL supporters are dinos who don’t understand how internet backlash works, therefore every negative comment she gets must be the result of a “smear.”

I don’t know why there was ever a rumor that Justin Baldoni didn’t come from money. It seems like they just bought a new property and the money came from a trust so I imagine Justin or Emily or both have family money.

This sounds like another miscalculation Ryan and Blake made? It certainly seems like from the CRD complaint they did not expect this to move into an actual lawsuit and yet here we are two years later and the lawyer bills keep on coming. I know Justin has a billionaire backer, but maybe he didn’t even need one.
