Blake looked like she was enjoying being around Justin in these outtakes.

They're both flirting like crazy. They had a crush. Ryan found out and lost it. Blake then lied to cover for it.

I absolutely disagree. They are not flirting like crazy. They are pretending to fall in love in a scene. They have to gaze dreamily at each other and make their voice soft and compliment each other. It’s called acting.

They clearly are able to go back-and-forth and talk about less serious topics, joke around, talk about their spouses. Nothing about this says they’re falling in love it just looks like ACTING.

But he clearly wasn’t doing anything wrong here.

Totally agree. It’s acting! And they have chemistry but that doesn’t mean anything else

Huh. To my eyes, she appears to loathe him and be pretty uncomfortable filming this scene. She seems to suggest that their characters be talking more because it will decrease the amount of time he spends nuzzling her neck or "almost kissing" her and she does not seem to enjoy that aspect of the scene. I also think she says the thing about his nose and laughs at him on purpose to push him away. It's a mean instinct but not that unusual -- she can't resist because she clearly hates him.

And the thing about him saying "you smell good" happens pretty much as she describes it. They are speaking to each other as Blake and Justin and he makes a comment about "getting beard on" her and she responds "I'm probably getting spray tan on you" -- they are talking about the artifice of acting out the scene. And then he says "it smells good" and you can see it makes her uncomfortable and she says "well, it's not that, it's my body makeup." This reads to me as her expressing that he's crossed a line and reminding him to be professional.

I can see how/why they both see it so differently and don't think either one is "lying" in their complaints. They are both telling the truth but he does not seem to get that his behavior is bothering her.

Was there an IC on set for this scene? It think a fundamental point in her complaint is that this scene was much more intimate than she expected based on the script, which simply says that the characters slow dance while "in their own world." But he's initiating a lot of intimate contact, nuzzling her neck and upper arms, starting these almost kisses where their faces are right next to each other. Meanwhile it's clear she thought the scene would be more about them interacting, talking, "falling in love" not just getting hot for each other.

Having an IC on set for a scene like this would help bridge the gap between those two ideas of the scene and also ensure that it doesn't cross lines, which Lively clearly thought it did.

I think this backs up her complaint even though it's not like overt harassment. It shows how uncomfortable she was and could be an example of a scene that was in fact pretty intimate but does not appear to have been choreographed or overseen by an IC. I can also see that he seems to be misreading the situation and seems to think her smiling/laughing is flirtatious, but to me it reads as the way a lot of women will smile instinctively when they don't like a man who is coming onto them, to try and keep their faces from betraying how they feel which might upset them. I can see the stakes being particularly high for her because she has to film the rest of this movie with him and she doesn't want him to realize she is repulsed by him. But she is.

?I watched it and they seem very comfortable with each other and smiling and joking the whole time.

I'm sorry but she clearly hates him. She's smiling because she's being filmed and she's supposed to be falling in love with him. Her jokes are a deflection. She's leaning back from him and his visibly bothered by him being physically close to her. She's suggests that their characters would be talking to try and keep him from nuzzling her. She breaks away from him numerous times by throwing her head back to laugh or initiating a dance spin because she doesn't like having him so close to her. She jokes about his nose to get him to back away from her. He makes the comment about her smelling good and she gets serious and is like "actually no I'm talking about my body makeup, this is not a come on."

It genuinely concerns me that some of you cannot see that she's very uncomfortable here. She isn't flirting, she's not into him AT ALL.

I have watched the video and discerned the complete opposite. She even touches his face at one point. Now that I have read your comments, I am going to rewatch.

I am another person, rewatched after reading this, and don't agree with you at all. You are hallucinating her feelings to support her claim, likely because you are already down a rabbit hole supporting her and trying to justify the unjustifiable. No reasonable person watching this would think that AND no reasonable scene partner (JB) or director (JB) would sense her discomfort and change their behavior.

Even if she does clearly hate him, I don’t get the point. She signed up to do a movie with him. They don’t have to be best friends. He clearly wasn’t doing anything inappropriate. It wasn’t his idea to dance with her and act like he was falling in love with her, they’re making a damn movie.

I’m sorry, but it is clear that she didn’t think there was audio here cause I don’t think she would’ve ever made that claim that she know.

It is an awkward situation. Actors talk about it all the time how these scenes are a little awkward because yes, you are pretending to fall in love with someone, you’re dancing close, you’re kissing. They seem to be handling it pretty professionally, including him.

If she had said, I feel really uncomfortable being as close to you. I think that she should be talking and not dancing, that would’ve been one thing. And that probably would’ve meant that she shouldn’t have done the movie because they did have some intimate scenes together where they needed to be close and show a romantic relationship. But he was making the best that he could out of the situation which I imagine is awkward for any actors.

To call this sexual harassment, does a real disservice to all women who experience inappropriate behavior on a set or at work.

I guess that’s why people say she’s a bad actress, because in this movie they’re supposed to be falling in love. If you think that she hates him in this scene the movie doesn’t work.

No one forced her to do a movie that had love scenes. Maybe she didn’t realize she wasn’t going to end up liking her costar, but I don’t think not liking your costar is grounds for claiming sexual harassment.

I don’t say this lightly but you need to touch grass. Two separate multi paragraph postings of this Blake fan fiction is too much. She literally leans closer in to him multiple times, as she is suppose to for the scene,

Blake is screwed and is making a mockery of individuals who have truly experienced sexual harassment. The video highlights the manipulative nature of her law suit that spins half-truths to fit the boxes of harassment -- "you smell nice" sounds like creepy harassment out of context... when you hear it was preceded by her telling him that she must smell bad because of her spray tan, its different isn't it. I hope both of the people in the lawsuits continue to be exposed for what they are, a smug, entitled, rich actress who is notoriously difficult and manipulative and a B/C list actor-director who pissed off the wrong entitled woman.

[Anonymous]

I wonder if people who are commenting and saying she looks uncomfortable have seen the movie. I have. The dynamic in the movie is that he pursues her, she likes him, but she is way more hesitant. I think that is what you’re seeing when she is like, hesitating when he’s trying to kiss her. That’s very much a part of their character. She was reluctantly falling in love with him. She was trying to get her flower shop up and running and did not want the distraction of him, but he pursued her and they fell in love.

That’s all that’s going on in the scene. But either way she needs to act professional and do the scene. If she cannot stand to be around him, she needs to say, I don’t feel comfortable with you touching me. That probably means they need to recast her? That’s her right, but she can’t have it both ways. I don’t see how this movie would have worked without some of these intimate scenes. And honestly, this is one of the most intimate ones, there’s not a lot of sexually charged scenes in this movie.

+1 that poster is just crazy. I mean what do you say to someone going to bat for a rich celebrity because said celebrity is “not into [her costar] AT ALL.”

I think you are reading a lot into how she might have felt, which is not the same as how he actually acted.

And then he says "it smells good" and you can see it makes her uncomfortable and she says "well, it's not that, it's my body makeup." This reads to me as her expressing that he's crossed a line and reminding him to be professional.

I can see how/why they both see it so differently and don't think either one is "lying" in their complaints. They are both telling the truth but he does not seem to get that his behavior is bothering her.

Was there an IC on set for this scene? It think a fundamental point in her complaint is that this scene was much more intimate than she expected based on the script, which simply says that the characters slow dance while "in their own world." But he's initiating a lot of intimate contact, nuzzling her neck and upper arms, starting these almost kisses where their faces are right next to each other. Meanwhile it's clear she thought the scene would be more about them interacting, talking, "falling in love" not just getting hot for each other.

Having an IC on set for a scene like this would help bridge the gap between those two ideas of the scene and also ensure that it doesn't cross lines, which Lively clearly thought it did.

I think this backs up her complaint even though it's not like overt harassment. It shows how uncomfortable she was and could be an example of a scene that was in fact pretty intimate but does not appear to have been choreographed or overseen by an IC. I can also see that he seems to be misreading the situation and seems to think her smiling/laughing is flirtatious, but to me it reads as the way a lot of women will smile instinctively when they don't like a man who is coming onto them, to try and keep their faces from betraying how they feel which might upset them. I can see the stakes being particularly high for her because she has to film the rest of this movie with him and she doesn't want him to realize she is repulsed by him. But she is.

?I watched it and they seem very comfortable with each other and smiling and joking the whole time.

I'm sorry but she clearly hates him. She's smiling because she's being filmed and she's supposed to be falling in love with him. Her jokes are a deflection. She's leaning back from him and his visibly bothered by him being physically close to her. She's suggests that their characters would be talking to try and keep him from nuzzling her. She breaks away from him numerous times by throwing her head back to laugh or initiating a dance spin because she doesn't like having him so close to her. She jokes about his nose to get him to back away from her. He makes the comment about her smelling good and she gets serious and is like "actually no I'm talking about my body makeup, this is not a come on."

It genuinely concerns me that some of you cannot see that she's very uncomfortable here. She isn't flirting, she's not into him AT ALL.

I have watched the video and discerned the complete opposite. She even touches his face at one point. Now that I have read your comments, I am going to rewatch.

I am another person, rewatched after reading this, and don't agree with you at all. You are hallucinating her feelings to support her claim, likely because you are already down a rabbit hole supporting her and trying to justify the unjustifiable. No reasonable person watching this would think that AND no reasonable scene partner (JB) or director (JB) would sense her discomfort and change their behavior.

They also claim to have video of her initiating unscripted kissing in other scenes. And I’m betting they do!
