I am not saying she hasn't had things done but she still looks very much like her younger self.

If you look at pictures of her as a teen, the lips were nonexistent, gums were more prominent, nose much larger and bulbous, eyes smaller, hair much thinner. If anything aging would accentuate these features, people’s noses don’t thin out as they age, their eyes don’t become larger and more open, lips don’t become fuller with age, boobs don’t become more perky. It almost looks like two separate people.

Your lips become fuller, as do your breasts for a long time postpartum. As i got older, my face got leaner, my cheeks smaller, which made my eyes seem bigger. You’re probably right on the nose job though - just like all of Hollywood it seems.

She’s had lip fillers, at least two nose jobs, breast implants, botox, eye procedure like a bleph possibly, so many procedures to list, she looks like a different person that she did in beginning of GG. Subtle, but like a different person.

Yes yes yes. I’ve had DC and yet my lips and feet didn’t grow. We’re all different. She’s been operated on a ton to middling success. The corset SNL dress as shown on video was hilarious.

“She’s just gorgeous” and “she’s a big backed fake” are both legitimate views. And it was “she’s an old copper haired big backed mess” was what started her insistence that there was plotting against her when she was just insecure that her rotten taste and arrogance had people laughing at her.

If you want extensive, quality, subtle work, find her surgeon. You too can go from a 4-10/10 with $$$$$ of procedures. Nevermind the cost of the teeth and hair maintenance.

Both look ethnically Jewish, probably secular.

In my opinion, the most interesting part of it is the part where Justin discusses Wayfarer's decision to partner with Sony on It Ends With Us (note: Sony was not just the distributor but also reportedly co-financed the film):

Justin is quoted as saying: "We ended up deciding to partner with Sony. We talked internally about it [at Wayfarer] - Well, should we make this on our own completely, or should we partner? We talked for a while about that, because on one hand, we were starting something that we wanted to be able to control completely, but on the other hand, we wanted to make sure that this had the best chance of being seen by as many people as possible.”

Sure seems like this suggests that as of August (after ALL of the alleged “steal the movie” stuff happened), Baldoni still recognized that Wayfarer had made the conscious strategic decision to give up some measure of control over the film in favor of making a movie with a bigger chance for significant box office success.

What an intelligent parse - that’s what I’m here for, the honesty, the legitimacy. He truly said in so many words, “Blake, please rewrite scenes, re-costume the character and up the wardrobe spend by a couple hundred thousand, please lobby everyone in writing for a PGA credit after being sick 6 times in a row - I loved your work taking 6 months off of The Rhythm Section for a knuckle injury- and then please ask Colleen Hoover to treat me like something underfoot. After all, I am trying to grow my studio by partnering with Sony!”

He did tell her to rewrite scenes. On April 7th (pre filming) Blake texted about the meet cute scene..."You ok if I play around with some or the dialogue or give her a bit more agency and....We can use some or all or none of it. I just don't want to step on any toes"

Baldoni answered "F*** yes. I couldn't agree more.....go play and then we can see how it feels together."

And I can't find the other text at the moment but also in April and it was about the rooftop scene - she asked if she could work on it or tell her to stand down if he didn't want her to and again he offered unbridled enthusiasm for her to take it on.

She’s rattled about the fat shaming stuff because her mom is naturally bigger boned and past middle age even the most talented surgeons don’t work to stave off genetics. That’s why so many of these rich aging women turn into freaks. They’re using a blank checkbook to fight a futile battle at the plastic surgeon’s office. Genetics will always win.

The man was walking on eggshells around this talentless nepo baby scammer trying to coerce and extort control and credit of the film away from him. It’s just breathtaking to see the utter shameless gall this scamming woman and her creepy psycho husband have.

They’re trying to paint a pattern of uncomfortable behavior blah blah blah, but when the rest of the evidence is so scant that falls apart too. The fact that people are insisting on bringing it up, means that they have nothing else.

Anyway, attention is now being paid to the fact that Jamiy Heath is a person of color. This ran under the radar for a long time because the focus was on Justin and even if you go back a couple of weeks ago, most people who were debating this case, thought that all the incidents were about Justin. I think this Jenny Slate complaint, being that it’s about Heath, has bought him more into the light and now the internet is starting to pick up on the fact that these two white women repeatedly made fairly stereotypical complaints about him.

I’d like to learn more about Jenny’s complaint, but it seems like his sanctity of motherhood comment just made her uncomfortable. Would love to know why. Did something just seem off? HMMMM.

And I don’t think it’s going to look good for Blake that she is giving into the oversexed stereotype. He just couldn’t tear his eyes away from her in that trailer! He just couldn’t keep from showing me p*rn on set! I’m really wondering why her team went that route, I think they probably just wanted to get the number of complaints up and thought it was all going to be focused on Justin and people weren’t going to take this deep a look. And, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that most of her team is white and they just not thinking about this. I think the next few weeks they’re going to be going on quite a journey here.

The sanctity of motherhood comments either on their own or collectively with other actions made her uncomfortable enough that she went to Sony and complained.

So far I don't think there is any indication his race is at play. The complaints are about all 3 executives of Wayfarer and mostly aimed at Jamey and Justin who were on set. People of any race can do wrong and so far I don't see anything that makes it seem that becase he is biracial she has complained about him any differently than Justin.

I respect your opinion but do not buy it. There is a lot of racial stuff at play here. When you are a POC, you see it right away. That’s how once I saw JH’s pic yesterday, it all made sense.

Another POC did a tik tok that I viewed just now and she summed it up perfectly.

The reality is that BL’s allegations take on a totally different context when you factor in JB and JH as being POC.

Glad JB saved receipts.

Justin is not a POC and Heath is biracial. I don’t believe Blake’s accusations but alleging that racism was also at play here is incorrect. Blake would have found a way to accuse a white woman director of some crime, Blake gets what Blake wants, regardless of color.

Nah, it’s racism alright. There is a TikTok video that sort of paints the narrative a bit better.

But I do agree with you, BL would have schemed differently had it been a white woman. But nonetheless, she would have played a different game.

She’s power hungry and it’s amazing to me that TS could not see this, or she did and was okay with it because they are peas in a pod.

The end of my discussion on this. BL has nothing. There are women out there, without power who have been seriously harassed and even worse, that SH claims are used to protect. Nothing so far even comes close to adding up to the legal definition of SH. Not even close.

It’s sad and rather despicable to finally get was this has all been all about.

It is impossible to take you seriously with comments like the bolded. Do you even hear yourself? You sound insane.

I think you can’t see what many of us can see. That’s why I said that without even seeing the delivery scene, that I bet the doctor guy BL had complained about was a POC.

I just saw the scene online. I was right.

All I can say is that I have experience with a lot of what I’ve stated. I interact with a lot of people. I knew nothing about BL but looked at this case legally and could not connect her argument. Again, a nothingburger assuming you looked at it one way which is how I did, thinking that JH was white.

Once I saw that pic, it all made sense.

Let’s see if the JS details come to light. But so far, legally and in the court of public opinion, just not seeing the SH.

As for the TikTok video, it was actually pretty decent and informative. And I think perhaps the third tik tok video that I’ve ever watched. It’s on Reddit.

You seem to have a very broad definition of person of color. How exactly are Justin Baldoni and Adam Monschein POC?

There is a pic and discussion on Reddit. You can go to the thread of look up the info. JB is like a lot of LA guys that are cool and can fit in with many types of people.

We know their racial backgrounds so please explain how they are POC? Is it Italians or Jews you believe are POC?

Bless you for trying to ground the thread in facts. You are one of the reasons I still read this thread (just skip some of the crazy). Thank you.

Thank you! There are a handful of people on here with nuanced and thoughtful views (and differing opinions) but these voices get drowned out by the rest. I feel someone should start a Youtube channel called Just the Facts for all these cases where actual facts / evidence is posted for those who want the facts without commentary or but Tik Tok said or Reddit says etc . I saw a channel like that for something else and found it very helpful!

So the Sony connection makes total sense. It makes sense that they had a large sway in the movie and that is why Blake was cast. Sony is going big with Ryan Reynolds, they are suffering financially because they are the only one of their competitors didn’t launch a streaming platform so they’re hurting and he is coming in to do a lot to save them. They have a big partnership.

So that’s the reason why Blake was cast and that is not even a dig on her. The woman had four kids and has launched a bunch of businesses and is clearly focusing on other things besides movies which is fine. But that’s why this whole thing isn’t so infuriating. Anna Kendrick and Scarlett Johansson are making their recent directorial debuts on small films. These are women that have done the work. They treat their job as a craft. They have made hundreds of billions in box office and they have done the work year after year to earn credentials as producers and directors.

And Blake flits in, not having read the book and wants to take over the movie and direct the sequel. And why shouldn’t she, Ryan has paid for everything for her. She’s never had to face consequences….who cares about some sexual harassment claims, her publicists and her lawyers will work it out for her, Ryan will throw money at it, right .

Reread what you quoted and wrote. No he did not request that she rewrite, descriptive term for you that I’m not allowed to add.

She did it and asked if he’d be okay with it. Not the same.
