Why is Blake Lively so overrated?

[Anonymous]

HOLD ON does that man have a WIFE and a FAMILY TO SUPPORT???

Chiming in to say I hope they don’t settle, this has been a good distraction for the internet from politics.

so the latest tactic of the Blake supporter is to be caustic, prolific, and illogical so as to shut down this thread entirely. Sort of like the gag order she is seeking

While he seemed to have a reason for the info, that reason could also just be a pretext -- and as others have said, he could easily solve the back problem without knowing the precise weight.

And for that matter, why didn't he just tell the trainer "With my back issues I can handle weights of up to 170 pounds, can you help me with strategies for whatever weight we have here?" rather than asking for her weight? Why did he think it was fine to come to the table with absolutely nothing? Seems like he didn't know his own weight lifting limits and was just fishing for personal info, which is gross.

Does anyone really care? Is anyone that interested in exactly how much Jennifer Aniston etc weigh? We can see what these people look like, often in revealing outfits or scenes etc, who is "floating out in public" or sharing that # with a bunch of ppl?

I think a lot of the reaction here is that if you are soooo sensitive about a lot of minor things, this kind of field or role is not for you. Lots of other jobs out there but guess what they don't make you rich and famous.

As if there was only one. This is probably not the hill you should die on.

I mean give me a break. Actors are selling an aesthetic. I’m sure producers make demands about physical appearance all the time.

Agree. Google any actress who’s been in the industry for more than 10 years and she has a story to tell about being told to lose weight. Fit, thin women like Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence. These stories are a dime a dozen.

But I see no evidence that Blake was fat shamed. All I’ve seen is that he asked her trainer her weight due to a concern about lifting her, I’ve not seen any documentation or even specifics from her that he or anyone involved in the production asked her or told her to lose weight or criticized her about her weight. All I’ve seen is that Ryan berated him for fat shaming her. But if the incident is questions is him asking her trainer her weight, I don’t see how that is fat shaming.

To be fair, and I’m someone who thinks Blake exaggerating a lot of things, Blake’s complaint does say this, per E News.

“In one particular instance described in the documents, Blake alleged that the Jane the Virgin star offered to connect her with an expert on probiotics as a “gift” when she caught strep throat. However, upon filling out the privacy forms, the Gossip Girl alum—who had welcomed her and Ryan Reynolds’ fourth baby, son Olin, a few months before filming the movie—realized the expert was actually a weight loss specialist and in her complained she likened the experience to body shaming.”

Another example of her allegation making no sense. He gave her the person’s contact info for probiotics for strep. He didn’t tell her to make an appoint,ent for weight loss,

The point was the person did not appear to be a health specialist addressing illness, but someone who just specializes in weight loss.

If my colleague told me they were having issues with their back and I was like "oh I have the details for a surgeon who might be able to help you" and then it turns out I've given them info for a plastic surgeon who focuses on facial reconstruction but who is, yes, technically a surgeon, that sure looks like I'm trying to say they are ugly.

Lol comparing people who hawk nutritional supplements to different types of surgeons.

Lost in all this crazy ranting is that Justin didn’t even ask Blake how much she weighed. He asked the trainer, and had no idea it would get back to Blake. In fact, he asked the trainer to spare Blake because he knew she was sensitive. There is no rational world asking a third party a question is sexual harassment or fat shaming.

I just think if he’s benching X pounds easily maybe he wants to think of her as a number for comparison. I don’t think men are all that sensitive about this stuff. But whatever. I think it’s actually a worse offense that RR then yelled at him for this “misstep.”

I’ll be interested to hear about this weight loss specialist. Based on BL’s other complaints, I’m guessing this is another grey area. Like this person is a nutritionist/naturopath who deals with both weight loss and probiotics.

Then we can debate whether that’s a micro-aggression for 16 pages.

There is clearly one dominating this conversation this morning with her histrionics.

The khaleesi was fat shamed. She deserves to win her sexual harassment lawsuit on that alone.

Bumping. Because we are missing the key point here.

As compared to you? How many times have you posted whining about ranting and histrionics because you can't defend this?

This is known. That doesn't make it appropriate to tell someone not to tell the other person you are gossiping and being inappropriate about them.

Can’t defend? There is no cause of action for sexual harassment based on a question he asked a third party, not Blake, for work related purposes. Your ranting is designed to distract from that, but you can go on for seven more pages and not change that.

I don’t think it’s a gray area at all. He clearly expected Blake to send over her assistant or some other team member to pick up the probiotics, and didn’t think twice what else the doctor did as Blake would never personally be crossing her threshold. This is a woman who wouldn’t even leave her house for costume fittings.
