I don't see why Scarlett would be particularly mad at Blake for doing exactly what Scarlett herself did. They were even around the same age. Ultimately both Scarlett and Blake wound up in long-lasting relationships with kids that seem to be pretty stable. If Scarlett is sitting around stewing over Blake, I'd think so much less of her. I sincerely doubt she is though.



And this is how words become exaggerations that misled. I simply said “ it must sting a bit.”

You’re coming back at me saying “sitting around stewing over.” This is an extreme interpretation of what I had questioned.

Think of it as “loud” versus “LOUD.”

That’s how you responded to my simple assertion.

I know why I, from time to time, get overheated when discussing these posts. I’m a victim of workplace harassment. But here I was, asserting a softer and sensitive point about potential marital infidelity, and you turned up the volume.

It seems like you “turn up the volume” with so many of your posts, taking it far more personally at times than suggested. The question is “why?”



Whoa.

I say this as someone who has been harassed: you need to speak to a therapist. This is not a good place or way to work out your issues.


Then what the hell are you doing on here? This is not your lawsuit. Are you being paid or is this just 24x7 escapism for you? Why are you so fixed to this thread? At least I have a reason.

Watch where you throw that stone.


No one is throwing stones except you. This is a pretty juice legal conflict between two celebrities. As a lawyer and someone who enjoys Hollywood and BTS content about movie making, this is a very entertaining story to follow. I enjoy it as a distraction from some of the awful things happening in the world right now, and the legal part gives my brain something to puzzle over in a way that straight up celebrity gossip does not.

But I don't know these people. I wasn't there. Whatever happens, it won't actually impact me personally at all. And the same is true for you. If you can't avoid personalizing every single thing about this story, it is probably bad for your mental health to be discussing it all the time. A therapist would tell you the same thing. Consider that you are clearly very emotionally upset about comments on this thread. Is this a good reason to get emotionally upset? Is it? Go work out your emotions about being harassed with a licensed therapist. This is not a healthy place for you. It's not an escape or a fun puzzle for you. You have internalized it and made it about yourself which (1) sucks for you, and (2) makes it impossible to have a normal conversation with you on this subject because you will take anything that anyone says as a personal attack when we don't even know you! We can't possibly be attacking you personally because we are total strangers who know nothing about your life.

Think about it.


Like I've shared before, this is not your personal legal site. It is not a thread just for hashing over legal content from this case. You keep trying to make it that. I keep reminding you that it is not that. DCUM is not that deep in Entertainment and Pop Culture matter, hence the title of the other threads under this category. I'm not sure why you want to try to make it this legal analysis 101 thread. I encourage you to go back over to Reddit and posit your Lively theories there, where there is a dedicated legal thread for this, along with non legal threads. Or go and summon some gatherings at a local law school and hash over your theories on this case and why you ardently support BL.

I simply support Baldoni because it is clear that Lively's arguments are wrapped in fiction and the product of her imagination, as has been shown throughout. She's a woman, and she's alleging professional SH, and she's a liar.

Any working women would be piqued by the case and how it is playing out, as am I. So what if it touches upon a past work experience. For many of us, this has probably been the case at one point in our professional lives. But you tend to take this to another level, as if you are some insider.

Your opinion isn't any better or any more correct than mine, remember that.

Or they are just fishing to find some smoking gun that so far hasn’t been produced organically

I don’t think anyone thinks Scarlet is sitting around stewing over this, but she’s probably annoyed that she’s being dragged into this. Much like Taylor. It’s a gross and sleazy set of events and now everyone’s reminded that he probably set up some gross company while still married to her. Is it ultimately a big deal? No but she probably would rather not be be part of this whole debacle.

Funny that you think Blake has some long lasting relationship when her marriage is clearly melting down and she’s married to a controlling power hungry a-hole.


It's not what I "think" it's just factual. I mean whatever you think of Blake or her marriage, she and Ryan have been married for over a decade and have four kids together. That's absolutely "long-lasting" by Hollywood standards. Also there's no sign their marriage is melting down? Again, regardless of what you think of them, they seem quite committed based on their behavior throughout all of this. I personally don't buy the theory that Blake and Baldoni had a flirtation and Ryan got jealous. The documentation indicates that Blake and Baldoni were at odds before filming even started and that Ryan was protective about it from the jump.


So were Will and Jada, Hugh and his wife for 27 years, Kyle and Mauricio (who we now know was cheating for years until Kyle reached a breaking point) and apparently Clooney and his wife. The sham marriages in Hollywood tend to be the longest lasting because they have an arrangement and both parties are doing their own thing. It’s the ones that expect faithfulness that end in divorce.


I’m not aware of Jackman or Clooney cheating or having a bad marriage — 27 years is a good run, no shame there. I think you’re assuming these people are gay or something but that seems to be mostly in your head. I don’t know who Mauricio is lol. You may spend too much time reading tabloids lol.


It was pretty well known that Will and Jada had an open marriage years and years before they finally admitted to it. The same speculation has surrounded Hugh Jackman’s marriage, though he never admitted to it. Clooney and wife apparently have admitted to living separate lives, according to another thread on here. And Kyle is a Beverly Hills housewife (Paris hiltons aunt) and she and her husband of nearly 30 years are now living separately but not divorced and she’s pretty much admitted in so many words that she had been putting up with his cheating for a long time (which like the others, had been rumored for sometime).

Just saying a lot of the longer lasting Hollywood marriages work because the two people have an understanding, or as RR has “joked” many times about his own marriage “a Hollywood arrangementship”. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Many of Blake’s texts to JB were definitely flirty. If they don’t have an open marriage, I can’t imagine all is well in the reynolds household after JB leaked those texts. I would’ve been mortified if I were Blake and my husband read those texts.


Clooney’s wife moved her and the kids to NYC from Europe for the 6 months he’s doing his broadway play. They’re not very separate lol. Jackman and his wife had a 25 year run, which is pretty respectable. That said, I’m sure some people have open marriages (I just don’t think Clooney or Jackman qualify).

I don’t think Lively and Baldoni were together. I don’t think she could stand him for the most part, and I think he was similarly frustrated by her. *shrug*


You should listen to the beyond the blinds episode on Jackman. His sham marriage was one of the biggest open secrets in Hollywood. I’m not as caught up on the Clooney stuff and haven’t read the other thread, but know there have been rumors. Open marriages are more common than people think.


You would have to pay me to listen to a gossip podcast.


Yet no one needs to pay you to post on an anonymous blog lol.


Yeah, not sure what’s hard to understand about this. Let me know if you need a longer explanation lol.

DP from who you are responding to, but, yes, their comments are definitely better and more correct than yours are, because they post facts and analysis of the legal case, whereas you post your personal, subjective, speculative opinions about what jerks you believe Lively and Reynolds are. It’s a completely different thing. The legal analysis has a berifiable basis in fact and the speculative gossip really does not.

Also, when you talk about the people posting views contrary to yours as ”as if you are some sort of insider” or from your prior post, as if they are being paid to post here, it sounds really paranoid and (I hate this word but it’s accepted here for what I’m getting at) unhinged. You need to accept that normal people disagree with you. There are at least three of us here. We covered this 100 pages ago. Please. Accept. Reality.

Now this interesting. Someone has been following the case enough to 'ta-dah', drum up support for a docuseries that follows the background of the case:

And it looks like Page 6 has a new article out there on the case regarding the latest.

Are you suggesting that someone involved in that project is posting here in this mostly DMV mom weblog? Because, again, that type of paranoia is insane and delusional.

The Page 6 comments are fire! The optics of the fake subpoena seems that the turning point for many.

BL has moved to add a new lawyer to her case, presumably just in case Manatt is removed over subpoenagate.

So it’s the lawyer’s fault?

Of course it is!

Dp, but there is a Blake supporter who repeatedly has claimed that JB pays for bots to vote posts up or down on reddit. Not sure either side has cornered market on delusion.

Unfortunately in these kinds of situations it’s the lawyer that’s held accountable.

Xxxx
Just read the commentary from these articles and tell me again that I’m unhinged. The level of disgust that many people are sharing isn’t coming just from me. Read those comments.

I heard that Blake is looking for another ‘ride or die’ lawyer to help represent her. Why don’t both of you apply for the job? You believe wholeheartedly in her cases. Time to get from behind this anonymous website and support your girl!

Please link one, because I have been here since the beginning of this thread and I don’t remember this, unless you are talking about the smear allegations in the complaint itself, or the trend noted by multiple people that Reddit posts mentioning Jed Wallace or Bryan Freedman get 10-15 downvotes (but no one claims Baldoni is doing this). Whereas the accusations from Team Baldoni of bots, paid commenting, and even claims that Lively and Reynolds themselves are posting here (see eg the website feedback thread) are annoyingly constant.

So yes, team Baldoni is more delulu. Sorry not sorry.
