I'm Team No One but I get why people on both sides feel as they do (I just think there's not enough evidence to take a side). But it's weird to me that people are defending Baldoni like he's Princess Diana. Who even is he? I checked out his website and tried to listen to his podcast and he's just... awful. Like I said, I also don't like Lively and I think the jury's out on which one is telling the truth, but I don't get why so many people are ride or die for this guy. He's incredibly grating.

Do you have a son? A brother? A husband? A father? Any male friends or relatives? Well, unfortunately they could falsely be accused of SH/A. No matter if the victim is ‘grating’ or annoying, Justin is innocent. Blake is the bad guy here.

I have all of the above and none of them behave the way Baldoni does. He has a lot of boundary crossing behavior IMO. I don't know if he SHed anyone, but I don't have men in my life who behave as he does, and if I did, I would talk to them about how their behavior can come across to other people, especially women. Especially if it was my son. Some of the things Baldoni admits to doing, I'd be concerned if my son was doing, especially in the workplace.

Is your son an actor or director?

My son is too young to have a profession, but it's not relevant. I've worked in creative fields, including as a performer. This attitude of "oh it's ok -- it's a different kind of workplace" is dumb. Just because you're on a movie set doesn't mean it's okay to behave this way. In fact, I think it might make it even more important that you act professionally.

You can never go wrong by respecting boundaries and being self-controlled. No matter where you work or who you work with.

Blake’s behavior during filming was subpar. Why the different standards for men and women? Men must behave impeccably but women can do whatever they want? breastfeed in front of everyone, send texts with sexual undertones, etc.? And then after doing this claim SH? No, no way, nope.

I do hold her responsible for her behavior. She's being absolutely destroyed in the press for her behavior. If there's a double standard here, it's not to her benefit.

Some people seem to think that just because Lively did dumb stuff, that means Baldoni should not be held responsible for any of his bad behavior. I disagree. He did a lot of dumb stuff related to this production and he should take responsibility for it. He's not an innocent child, as a PP keeps wanting to insinuate. He's a 40-something adult man with a successful career and who was put in charge of a 25 million movie -- a big deal. Lively was difficult and controlling, I agree. But that doesn't absolve Baldoni of his poor behavior.

Thus I don't get people who act like he's some poor victim. He contributed to this bad dynamic and created an unprofessional culture on set. That's on him. He wasn't some innocent bystander. He participated.

I mean, his behavior all seems totally normal in the stressful setting of having a key player act out. It must have been extremely hard to toe the line of keeping her happy and keeping her in her lane. he’s not the first or last manager who will have difficulty with this kind of thing. The thing is, with people like BL, it is extremely hard for the non-personality disordered to figure out how to deal with them. You start out trying to apologize, then trying to defend yourself, then walk on eggshells, then trying to draw boundaries.

But this is easy to flip. Other people can see her behavior as understandable given Baldoni's and Heath's lack of professionalism. Especially given that she was recently postpartum and probably struggling a bit. Some of their behavior was unquestionably weird and uncomfortable, even if it wasn't SH. And she'd complain and they say it would stop but then something else would happen. She felt especially vulnerable in scenes where her body was on display to any degree (which is totally reasonable) and instead of making greater effort to ensure her comfort in those scenes, they did weird things that heightened her sense of exposure.

I think they are both deeply flawed people who made dumb mistakes. I don't understand seeing him as some innocent victim. He put himself in this position to a great degree. And he even knew he had -- he wanted to talk about his neurodivergence in interviews to explain some of his "tone deaf" and inappropriate behavior. He knew he'd behaved badly.

The both sides argument doesn’t work for me because ultimately she’s the one who decided to sue. Very hypocritical. But also, are we actually getting the amended complaint?! Waiting on pins and needles lol

Please point out where he has admitted to behavior that you consider unprofessional. Not alllegations in her complaint, but something from his.

He admits to having his producer partner show her a video of the producer's wife giving birth the day after they filmed the birth scene. That's tone deaf and unprofessional.

He admits to repeatedly promising his production partners he would say no to her requests for oversight/control, while repeatedly telling her yes to these same requests even when she says she doesn't want to step on toes and is asking explicitly for permission. He repeatedly plays both sides, complaining about Lively to his partners while being solicitous and enabling with Lively in his communications to her. They both violated professional boundaries in their communications. It was very unprofessional on both sides.

He doesn't address the allegation of telling her that he'd been speaking with her dead father. He doesn't admit to this but the fact that it's missing from his complaint altogether is concerning. That's unprofessional.

He admits to hiring a friend to play the doctor who hung out between Lively's legs in the birth scene. Even if this actor was a qualified actor, hiring a friend for that specific job, and highlighting that he's a friend in introducing him to Lively, is unprofessional.

There are others but these are the ones that jump out at me right now. It did not seem like a very professional set.

It seems like they were unhappy with Blake’s acting job in the birth scene. How better to coach her then show her video of what they wanted?

My understanding is that for something to sexual harassment, it must be “objectively” severe and pervasive. What PP describes is subjective. She explains how Lively was likely feeling extra sensitive due to her postpartum condition—which to me is confirming that this is not objective harassment.

They already filmed it. It was over. At that point there's no good reason to show her the video except to reopen the argument over whether or not she should have been fully nude in the scene, something they should have decided well in advance of filming the scene, not the day of.

This is exactly what I mean by unprofessional. It's just sloppy and lazy, IMO.

The standard is actually what the average person would find "reasonable" -- it's a specific standard of objectivity.

In any case, the examples I gave were specifically not of sexual harassment but to say that this is a weird, unprofessional way to behave and the toxic culture that evolved on that film set is at least party Baldoni's fault for engaging in a lot of weird and unprofessional behaviors.

I have no idea why that's controversial.

Refilm not refill.

My understanding from the workplace was that harassment had to be pervasive and not an isolated incident, unless it was severe. For an isolated incident to qualify as harassment it would need to be so severe that it violates a zero tolerance policy (like calling someone a racial slur). These rules are in place to avoid exactly this type of situation where one side is uncomfortable but the other side has no way of knowing (e.g. Blake can use the word sexy but when Justin does it’s harassment).

I don’t know why the dead father stuff keeps popping up, that is the most obviously not actionable allegation she has

The other side knew. She told Sony and had a meeting with Baldoni and co in May about all this and how uncomfortable she was shortly after they started filing in May.

Whether or not an actor will be nude in a scene is not a question of "taking direction." It's a contract negotiation issue.

And it never happened again from what I understand, so not pervasive. Her complaint is not that there was a recurrence but that they smeared her online in retaliation.

It's weird and inappropriate.
