Saying Blake didn’t purge herself and lie because Jed Wallace did something unethical doesn’t make any sense. But further, the Sony executive said they’ve never seen anything like it in their career. Normally dailies are asked to be deleted when there is nudity. They Specifically pointed out that she was asking for dailies to be deleted where there was no nudity. What don’t you understand? Blake settled this case for no money and NDA. She had no leverage. She was absolutely desperate. Baldoni, who she was absolutely obsessed with, is going to go on making tens of millions of dollars off the story while she owes tens of millions to PR firms and lawyers. Your side lost. I would recommend just getting over it and moving on. People are likely going to continue to keep this thread alive with the train wreck that is Ryan and Blake’s failing careers. |
I’ve been able to pay all my bills since December so no I don’t think they are richer than me. Actually think their wealth has been widely overblown. I don’t think it’s anywhere near the hundreds of millions. So no, I don’t think they are worth that much more than me but either way, I’m not living through a PR and legal nightmare so there’s that. |
Nor did you spend $30 million to destroy the careers of you and your spouse. Winning. We haven’t even given much thought how much Blake and Ryan have paid on pr and “social media management” fees over the past two years. That ex-Airbnb fixer doesn’t come cheap. |
You may have noticed that there was a debate between Blake and Wayfarer about what constituted nudity on this movie. Ange Gianetti took the position that the film had no nudity at all -- her comment was that she had never before been asked about destruction of dailies for a movie with "no nudity." But if the movie had no nudity, then why was Blake asked to sign a nudity rider at all? Obviously there was some nudity in the movie, filmed if not shown on camera, and Blake's team correctly sought to enforce the clause in her nudity rider regarding destruction of those dailies after the film's release. Gianetti's comment about "I've never seen this before" was clearly premised on an apparently incorrect belief that there was nudity in the film. Gianetti was not directly involved in the production of the movie, she was an exec at the distributing studio. Just because you feel like your side "won" (despite having their entire countersuit dismissed, losing their case against NYT, and Wayfarer having no major projects in development, and various Wayfarer parties still being subject to not only the pending 47.1 motion but also the Jones v. Abel suit as well as now multiple lawsuits that have sprung out of the discovery in Lively v. Wayfarer pertaining to the professional conduct of Nathan, Wallace, and Freedman) doesn't mean I have to agree to things that are false. As long as this thread is alive I will continue to weigh in, if only to correct the lies posters like you seem so eager to spread here for some mysterious reason. |
If you actually do not think that Ryan Reynolds is "worth that much more" than you, a random internet poster, then perhaps we shouldn't trust your commentary on anything because that's absurd. Whatever he spent on this litigation and whatever his current career prospects, he is and will always be much wealthier than any of us posting here. Don't be foolish. |
OMG, she still thinks Blake “won.” Talk about living in Lalaland. |
DP. You are foolish for many things. Signed, a random internet poster most likely worth more if not the same as Reynolds. And before you assume, self-made. I use my wealth to help others and don't punch down. I think that pushes most people to the worth more category regardless of net wealth though. |
Do you let your kids add guac? |
Wayfarer has projects in development, including ones with Gabrielle Union and Alicia Keys. You don’t know what you’re talking about and none of what you said makes sense. The dailies had nothing to do with nudity. Blake was just trying to destroy evidence left and right. She’s just too much of a moron to know that Wayfarer would have a back up. It’s truly amazing how stupid she is. thank God they have so many nannies and help. It’s a wonder she’s able to get around in the world at all. |
Many actors and celebrities of this ilk fall into financial ruin. They’re uneducated and they get people not saying no them and they get taken advantage of by lawyers and crisis comms and others, just like Blake and Ryan. They think the money is going to last forever and they don't know how to manage it. These idiots are investing in alcohol companies when drinking rates are as low as weve ever seen and we are entering an era where millennials and Gen Z are largely uninterested in drinking. Utter morons. They are not able to pay contractors for months of work after investing 12 million to buy property than another 17 million of renovations that they can’t afford. |
One doesn't like guac and the other prefers to make his own. |

Daily mail article on the $2 million in unpaid contracting bills. It’s behind a paywall, but if you go to Reddit, you can read the full article. One of the funniest quotes is how they wanted to do a renovation that “ honors the history and the people” while asking to put in a substantial pool house and a gym. Howling. |

Lively and Reynolds:
- brought this lawsuit, dragged it on for 18 months, spent tens of millions of dollars doing it - had their personal communications to friends released. Compromised trust of other celebrities who had their texts released. - had embarrassing facts about Blake’s business failures published. Including horrific drop in sales of her beauty line and drinks products. Admitted Betty buzz is dissolving and focus is getting rid of whatever stock they have through Amazon. - asked for $300 million in damages. Got zero dollars. - safe to say they wanted an NDA abd didn’t get one. They did not want Justin’s lawyers parading around talking to creators and podcasts. They are doing that. Reports are he might have a tell all in the works, which he will profit immensely from, at their expense, and more podcast, deep dives, and weeks of bad press for them. Please tell me again how they won. |
I don't think they won, but I also don't think Baldoni or Wayfarer won. They: - Admitted in writing that Lively's claims "deserved to be heard." - Had their entire countersuit dismissed by the judge for failure to articulate even a single valid claim against Blake, Ryan, the NYT, or Sloane. Asked for $400 million in damages. Got zero dollars. Have zero opportunity to recover attorneys fees from any of the litigation and they have given up their chance to appeal. - Had texts and emails detailing how Wayfarer and their public relations teams sought to "bury" Lively widely publicized, as well as many embarrassing texts where, for instance, Abel is revealed to mock Baldoni for some of the same behavior Blake ultimately sues him for as well as other tone deaf and embarrassing behavior, like wanting to go on a quack doctor's show to blame his behavior on his neurodivergence, or going to Mexico to get a sketchy stem cell infusion for free that ultimately landed him in the hospital - Baldoni was regularly dragged in the press for being whiny, weird, and vindictive, mocked with Onion headlines like "Justin Baldoni sues Justin Baldoni for getting him into this mess" - A myriad of women have come forward to express displeasure of working with Baldoni and Heath, including but not limited to: their longtime podcast cohost, two other actresses on IEWU, another director who had worked with them prior to IEWU, and the independent producer they hired for the film - Sarowitz's tasteless comments about Israel and Gaza widely publicized - Lost their representation by WME and, to my knowledge, remain unrepresented in the industry - Baldoni has not worked or even appeared publicly in his capacity as producer of a project since IEWU came out - Baldoni and his wife have placed their California home up for sale and had to relocate to Tennessee - Nathan, Wallace, and Freedman are now subject to multiple other suits related to activities uncovered in discovery during this case. - Abel still being sued by Stephanie Jones and unclear if Sarowitz's money for her defense will extend to that action now that Sarowitz and Wayfarer are no longer parties. Wallace still being sued for attorney's fees in Texas. All parties still subject to potential damages in the 47.1 action and have given up right to appeal any decision on that motion. Again, I don't think Blake won the case. But Baldoni didn't win either and isn't even done with litigation. Who know what will be come of the 47.1 motion (maybe nothing, maybe something, I truly have no idea) but there's actually now a ton of pending litigation concerning other Wayfarer parties. Where is Jen Abel's career? Melissa Nathan? Will Jed Wallace change his name and start over or what? I don't see a victory lap here. FWIW I have a number of family members in the film industry and the general attitude of people who don't know any of these parties is that they all suck -- Blake, Ryan, Baldoni, Nathan, Abel, Heath, Sarowitz, Wallace. They are all kind of toxic right now. People will still work with Ryan and Sarowitz/Wayfarer because both still have financial leverage (whatever people may assume about Ryan's finances, he still has a lot of profitable businesses and plenty of friends in the industry) but Blake and Baldoni are kind of third rail at the moment and I think they'll both need time away before most people (especially anyone A list or aspiring A list) will associate with either of them. Hoover is also being sidelined from involvement with her ongoing projects -- she'll make bank but likely won't be doing press or red carpet for Verity when it comes out in the fall unless things cool down considerably from where they are now before then. Everybody lost. |
| I’ll give the Blake bot this, you have to admire her absolute lack of mastery of facts and heavy level of delusion. |
