He's creating a website.

I an here for this after the smear job she and the team have pulled. Maybe she'll settle so we don't see the text messages. Hunky Ryan can write a check to Justin Baldoni.

I mean we have already seen daming text messgaes. I don't see them settling for awhile.

This isn’t making either one of them look good. Both should be eager to settle this and move on.

I think he looks fine. She basically took over his movie and then tried to paint him as a predator to ruin his career. I think he's totally justified in wanting to set the record straight.

No he doesn't look fine. He disregarded his duties as a director making everyone stressed out to have a flirt session with Blake.

I don't think he disregarded his directions duties but I do think those clips highlight what a mistake it was for him to be starring and directing. Someone else on the thread said this was Colleen Hoover's idea -- she really wanted Baldoni in the part after he and his company bought the rights and he was already set to direct. But I think they should have disregarded it and hired someone else.

You could tell in those clips how he was getting annoyed by her suggestions and was getting kind of curt about what he wanted in the scene. Which, as a director, I get. The problem is that he is also her scene partner and I assume you need some kind of rapport and give and take with a scene partner doing a love scene. But because he's the director, that back and forth becomes her trying to wrestle control of the scene from the director. The fact that she's very famous and has a lot of experience compounds this because it's probably very different than it would be for him in directing a younger, less experienced actor.

I don't think they are flirting and I don't think he's blowing off directing duties at all, but I think the situation was highly combustible because of the power dynamics involved and then they didn't get along and it just escalated from there.

Okay, so I’d have to go back and reread, but in his complaint he was saying that he was repeatedly being told to try to get BL to stop talking so they could get the shots they needed. So she’s talking away and he’s like, “my wife and I just sometimes stare into each others eyes for hours.” It’s kind of funny actually.

They looked super uncomfortable but I don't think that's not normal for the type of scene.

This was a while lot of words to say he was bad at his job. He didn't take a firm stance as a director. Not only because he allowed Blake to take over but because they did indeed dallied with each other. I am going to keep bringing it up because there was zero for him to have those late writing sessions with her. That's someone who was playing with fire. They were having creative differences in this scene but neither deliberated wanted to hurt the other person.

I am confused as to when he was being told that he needed to get her to stop talking. Between takes I guess? She talked less in the second and third take.

I also don't get why he couldn't just say, as the director, "I want to do a take with no talking, just us looking at each other and with a lot of physical contact, just so we have options when we edit." If he wanted to be diplomatic, he could have done one take where they area talking and laughing, and then one his way. That would have been an easy way to appease her but still get the shot he wanted. It also seems like it would have been a good way to maintain a positive rapport with his co-star, which seems like it would be important to the rest of the movie.

Yeah I'm with Blake on that -- it's an insane thing to say. Who just sits around staring into their partner's eyes? Are they on drugs when they do that?

In any case, I don't understand why as the director he had to come up with some way to trick Blake into doing a take without talking. He could have just said "okay we're doing this one with just eye contact." He appears to not have a lot of authority on his own set if he's being told by others (producers? the AD? the cinematographer?) to get her to stop talking and he feels like he has to back his way into it instead of just telling her to stop talking.
