Isn't that Baldoni's whole schtick?

What is his schtick? I know little about JB. But if he is against celeb worshipping, then no wonder she hated him

He is everything you claim to detest.

It's also very weird to read these long posts declaring a hatred of celebrity worship and parasocial relationships in this specific thread.

I have a suspicion that at least some of the Baldoni stans arrived at this case after Depp/Heard ended. I know, I know, I will be told that ACTUALLY the Baldoni supporters were on Amber Heard's side the whole time! Whatever. I feel pretty confident that there's some overlap in the people who rabidly posted about how much they hated Amber Heard (called her a liar, claimed Depp was the true victim, etc.) all throughout that trial, and the people who have been caping for Baldoni (and hating Lively, calling her a liar, claiming Baldoni was a the true victim, etc.) this time around.

So who's next? What woman will the fixate on as the root of all evil, and what problematic man will they decide is actually a hero?

Funny, was just thinking about this last night. All the useful idiots doing the patriarchy's work for them. Do you think they're mostly motivated by jealousy and parasocial attachments to men? It's disturbing.

Anyway, not a big Blake fan but definitely preferred her to the gross men involved in this case, and like that she showed up at the Met gala alone looking confident.

Please, Blake’s fabrications have done nothing but harm women that are actually the victims of workplace harassment. She’ll never stop fighting in for them unless her claims get dismissed or there is a Met Gala to attend.

Blake's claims were reasonable and made in good faith. On that point everyone agrees.

This thread proves the contrary.

Oh, the combo of a big fashion event and Blake Lively's settlement must have been manna for NAG!

Hardly. And the joint public statement could not have been further from a pro-Baldoni position.

DP but I think they all must be very young. I would be so disappointed to find out my daughter spent her time online spewing that kind of nonsense.

My daughter would never, thank god. She loves her girls, will always support them and, at the very very least, give women the benefit of the doubt.

It was very definitely not an admission or an apology. And they paid her no money which is what they really cared about.

In any case, public perception and a carefully drafted joint statement specifically for the purpose of ending frivolous litigation aren’t the same thing.

I think the opposite. She has brought workplace harassment to the forefront again. How many times have we heard that this industry is different? It's not really though. It's just that everyone has accepted it for too long. Male abusers might thing twice going forward which makes her efforts a win at great personal cost.

My DD is only 12 and not on social media but this isn't good for women whether you believe Blake or not. The vitriol and anger is not proportional to her so called offenses.

She went to the NY Times with a fabricated story, destroyed evidence, abused the Court system by filing a sham Doe complaint and committed perjury all because she was mad that people don’t like her. There really can’t be too much outrage.

They did not apologize, no, but they did stipulate to the reasonable belief of SH. They didn't do that to be nice. It was strategic, because allowing evidence of Baldoni (and to a lesser extent Heath's) misconduct that led to that reasonable belief harmed their case. Wayfarer settled because they didn't want to go to trial (despite claiming all along they wanted to go to trial to clear their names). Because there is evidence of retaliation. The defendants in this case (currently just Wayfarer, but wasn't just Wayfarer when settlement discussion started) had to make the sole remaining plaintiff an offer to settle the case. We'll just never know what amounts were offered and accepted.

I don't think money changed hands, but agree with your assessment otherwise. Both parties had good reason to settle but Wayfarer wanted it the most, which is why the public statement favors Blake.

Agreed. The public statement was a major concession. I'm glad she got that, and believe she deserved it.

They stipulated “only for the purposes of trial,” because the judge asked them to.

TMZ reported yesterday no money changed hands as part of the settlement. The parties clearly agreed that info could be released. That tells you who really won.

The public statement doesn’t favor anyone but the fact she got no money tells us that WF won.

Even in complete nuisance suits, the plaintiff usually walks away with a small amount of money. Not here. Tells us Blake was desperate to avoid trial.
