This so on-brand.I'd expect nothing more from her. It will be a sad day in hell if i ever spend a dollar watching any movie she's featured in.

Reading the comments on here about this interview, I was ready to dislike Blake Lively, but I actually watched the clip and my god if the interviewer wanted to “quit” after that, then she has an extremely thin skin and a
should not in fact be doing celebrity interviews.

Yes. I can’t believe everyone is falling so blatantly for the initial efforts of the crisis PR firm Baldoni hired. It’s pathetic. He obviously leaked the story about the fat shaming and got the pissed off interviewer from 8 years ago to repost that. It’s kind of pathetic. If, as a director, your whole cast hates you, you f*cked up. I don’t care if you had good motives or seem to be a nice enough guy, whatever happened, every single person in the cast sided against the director. That’s insane and not an accident. He then hired a crisis PR firm. Come on now.

This from August 15 aged really well.

I remember reading that. Some of the comments in here are so unhinged and vicious just because they don't like her. But it's good to see it all coming out now. Whatever you think of Blake what possible defense can there be of this petty vindictive 40yr old man?

I think he was protecting himself because he realized the power she has to ruin him. Looks like she is trying. I just do not see how any of this is good for her. The difficult part is hard to get away from. I remember Katherine from Greys Anatomy. She was labeled difficult and then barely seen. He will also be ruined so neither wins. There are so many actors that any hint of difficulty and you are toast.

There is a difference between protecting himself and saying he wants to bury her. Thats unhinged. There is no context where that's ever okay.

You don't protect yourself in that way. What kind of narcissistic douche thinks he's going to get away with that behavior?

Bury her with her own words? It’s okay to repost someone’s actual words. Do you disagree?

Why would someone go after someone to "bury" them to cover their own misdeeds? Let's start there.

I read the complaint and here are my takeaways:

- Baldoni and Heath (the CEO of the production company) do seem to have done a lot of shady ands/or unprofessional stuff on set
- Some of this conduct may have risen to the level of an incident of sexual harassment although some also seems to be Lively being overly sensitive and exaggerating and/or diva-ish. And legally sexual harassment has to be “severe and pervasive” so it’s not clear it meets that standard even if they made a few inappropriate comments, especially given the nature of the work activity (ie inherently sexual).
- Despite my skepticism about the underlying legal claim for sexual harassment, it does appear that Lively was legitimately concerned and made a bona fide complaint of sexual harassment.
- As with all workplace harassment complaints, once the complaint is made, it is VERY tricky to avoid retaliation complaints
- However … the gravamen of retaliation is that it is caused by the complaint, which I think is somewhat murky to show here
- That’s because Lively made her complaint over a year before the allegedly retaliatory behavior then returned to the set and completed filming and began marketing the film
- What triggered the events is the seemingly concerted efforts of Lively and her supporters to publicly ice out Baldoni during marketing (again - this is almost a year after Lively’s complaints).
- Then Baldoni and Health hired the crisis PR team to shape the narrative
- Notably absent from the complaint of course is any mention of what Lively did to also shape the narrative. It claims that she didn’t even tell her publicist about the HR complaint she made, which I find very hard to believe and lends itself to the viewpoint that in fact she was on a campaign against Baldoni during the marketing phase of the movie, and that is conduct was to protect himself from her, not vice versa
- IF a court found Baldoni’s actions to be retaliatory then the damages could be extensive and could include a claim related to Lively’s hair product line (tortious interference, so fun!).
- The allegations of social media manipulation are eye-popping for those of us Reddit and DCUM addicts. I know I will be very, very skeptical from now on. Personally I have always felt that the Health and SN forums have industry shilling going on in particular. But I will also have my eyes open to see if sudden shifts in popular opinion about a celebrity seem to be playing out here on DCUM
- It is surprisingly cheap do to a takedown PR campaign. $175k lol! I probably spend that much time on DCUM and Reddit that I could do that myself. maybe I should hang a shingle …
- Finally … I’m curious about how the anonymity and troll-factory aspect of the case intersects with defamation law. Does the fact that these stories and posts were made for money and anonymously with the express goal of “changing the narrative” impact the first amendment analysis? commentary welcome!

Can you just speak squarely? I have no idea what you mean. I don’t understand how person A harms person b’s reputation by republishing person b’s actual words.

The context is that she made a 90% spurious claim of sexual harassment that he thought he had resolved. Then a whole year later she and her minions start to publicly ice him out right when all eyes were on him - and also start to plant their own stories (remember the story about Ryan Renolds rewriting the script?) So he panicked and responded as he did. Whether or not this would legally be held to be retaliation or defamation I do not know but doesn’t look great for him.

Are you for real? What mature professional person sets out on this type of campaign in the first place? What is normal about this?

I agree with you on most things except damages. That’s actually going to be much tricker for her to show.

Because all publicity is good publicity?

I dunno. Not sure if you saw this allegation but they claim that the hired trolls brigaded her social media campaign for her hair care line.

based on my experience as a plaintiffs lawyer and 5 decades of being a woman. I read the complaint and my impression is that Baldoni is a weirdo and Heath possibly a bit creepy but I’m not sure either of them did anything that far outside the norm for filming sex scenes. I also know that this happened right when Hollywood was transitioning to a more structured approach (ie intimacy coordinators). And some of the complaints she makes sound totally spurious. Others if she has witnesses are stronger (like Heath refusing to leave her trailer when she was naked) BUT may also be normal for Hollywood.

I read the complaint and my impression is that Baldoni is a weirdo and Heath possibly a bit creepy but I’m not sure either of them did anything that far outside the norm for filming sex scenes. I also know that this happened right when Hollywood was transitioning to a more structured approach (ie intimacy coordinators). And some of the complaints she makes sound totally spurious. Others if she has witnesses are stronger (like Heath refusing to leave her trailer when she was naked) BUT may also be normal for Hollywood.

(and to clarify I think her retaliation theory could be correct though and I think this depends on what other witnesses would say as well.)

This so on-brand.I'd expect nothing more from her. It will be a sad day in hell if i ever spend a dollar watching any movie she's featured in.

Reading the comments on here about this interview, I was ready to dislike Blake Lively, but I actually watched the clip and my god if the interviewer wanted to “quit” after that, then she has an extremely thin skin and a
should not in fact be doing celebrity interviews.

Yes. I can’t believe everyone is falling so blatantly for the initial efforts of the crisis PR firm Baldoni hired. It’s pathetic. He obviously leaked the story about the fat shaming and got the pissed off interviewer from 8 years ago to repost that. It’s kind of pathetic. If, as a director, your whole cast hates you, you f*cked up. I don’t care if you had good motives or seem to be a nice enough guy, whatever happened, every single person in the cast sided against the director. That’s insane and not an accident. He then hired a crisis PR firm. Come on now.

This from August 15 aged really well.

I remember reading that. Some of the comments in here are so unhinged and vicious just because they don't like her. But it's good to see it all coming out now. Whatever you think of Blake what possible defense can there be of this petty vindictive 40yr old man?

I think he was protecting himself because he realized the power she has to ruin him. Looks like she is trying. I just do not see how any of this is good for her. The difficult part is hard to get away from. I remember Katherine from Greys Anatomy. She was labeled difficult and then barely seen. He will also be ruined so neither wins. There are so many actors that any hint of difficulty and you are toast.

There is a difference between protecting himself and saying he wants to bury her. Thats unhinged. There is no context where that's ever okay.

The context is that she made a 90% spurious claim of sexual harassment that he thought he had resolved. Then a whole year later she and her minions start to publicly ice him out right when all eyes were on him - and also start to plant their own stories (remember the story about Ryan Renolds rewriting the script?) So he panicked and responded as he did. Whether or not this would legally be held to be retaliation or defamation I do not know but doesn’t look great for him.

Ok. So you just have an opinion but no facts. Thanks for playing.

Bury her with her own words? It’s okay to repost someone’s actual words. Do you disagree?

Why would someone go after someone to "bury" them to cover their own misdeeds? Let's start there.

Can you just speak squarely? I have no idea what you mean. I don’t understand how person A harms person b’s reputation by republishing person b’s actual words.

Are you for real? What mature professional person sets out on this type of campaign in the first place? What is normal about this?

One's own words and posted info/pics can be used at any time. That's why the need to be mindful of what we say and do.
