I dislike Blake and think that would be troubling on a film set where people have to kiss, but the tone of this is childish. Something like half the population has the virus that causes cold sores and it's not like it's the result of someone doing something bad. Like you don't get a cold sore because you are unhygienic or a bad person. People just get them.
I also have trouble believing she had active cold sores during filming. She's in like every scene and there are a lot of close ups. I would NEVER agree to be on screen when I had a cold sore! Even if you catch it early and treat it immediately, it would be visible, Even with great makeup. I would assume instead they'd get a prescription immediately and shuffle around filming scenes as well as they could until it was totally gone. With good meds that might only take a couple days, and if you stayed on the medication there is not way they would come back. So this rumor strains credulity for me. At most she had one cold sore and presumably it was treated. And cold sores are unpleasant but in a professional setting people should be able to be mature about a medical issue that just needs to be treated and resolved. What if an actor got cystic acne while shooting? Is it appropriate to gossip about how "grossed out" everyone on set was about it? Grow up.
Just the messenger here. The point they’re trying to make is that Baldoni wasn’t looking to add “gratuitous” kissing and that in fact the opposite is true. People have also been pointing out that the fact Baldoni doesn’t bring this up in his complaint shows that he’s a professional and doesn’t want to embarrass Blake, even though she’s called him gross and everything else under the sun.
I mean it's a rumor, this is all speculation. If true and he brought it up in his complaint, it could be considered an improper disclosure of medical information. Especially since it's not relevant to any of his claims -- he's not claiming she infected him with cold sores. So it would look extremely petty AND risk getting slapped by the judge for introducing medical info just to embarrass her. It would be dumb.
Also in the video that was released, there's no question that he's trying to be more physically intimate with their faces than she is. She keeps leaning back away from him and trying to maintain conversation during the shoot, and he initiates every single instance of their faces touching. This both undermines the idea that she had cold sores the whole time and he was grossed out, and also does actually back up the whole "gratuitous kissing" argument on her side, even if her description of that scene is significantly less dramatic than what plays out on screen.
I see once again we're doing an analysis of that video. She lied. End of. She claimed she was harassed by Justin who was whispering sweet nothings in her ear and wanted to talk when the scene didn't even call for talking, when it turns out she was the one who wanted them to be conversing.
Lying would be her claiming he said something he didn't say, or that he grabbed her butt or something when we can all say he didn't.
She has an interpretation of that scene that does not seem 100% accurate when I watch it. That doesn't mean she was lying. I believe her when she says that she found his comment about her smelling good to cross a line. And he does say it, and he says it while nuzzling her neck and arm. But I can ALSO see how he believed himself to just be responding to her comment about spray tan. I genuinely think there are just two ways to look at that.
Also, you are misrepresenting her allegations regarding the dialogue in the scene. She says, accurately, the scene does not call for dialogue between the characters, and that it was not intended to have audio of them but to be set under the film score. That's correct. She does advocate for the characters to be talking in the scene, but with the obvious understanding that what they are actually saying doesn't matter and doesn't even need to be in character, since they were not trying to capture dialogue. Her objection to his "you smell good" comment is that this was clearly Justin saying it to Blake, out of character, but it felt uncomfortable to her because of the way it was said and what he was doing when he said it. I can look at it and say "eh, gray area -- he's trying to act out his character's interest in her character at the same time as he's making an out-of-character comment about her spray tan, and it comes off kind of like a come on, but I don't think was intended that way." But that's different from saying "she lied."
I get frustrated with the comments about Lively being a liar or claiming she's an evil person who is just out to get Justin, because I don't really see evidence of that. I think Lively genuinely believes her allegations. That doesn't mean they are true and he's guilty -- the dancing video shows the degree to which it really can be a matter of interpretation, and if ALL her allegations come down to something like that, especially anything caught on camera, I don't think she was SHed. But I also don't think she's an evil mastermind of some kind of film theft because even in that video I can see how and why she might have felt like his behavior crossed lines, and if some of her other allegations are not so nuanced and turn out to be clearer examples of the line crossing, then maybe she *was* SHed.
Screaming "she lied, she lied" all the time does make me think less of people's arguments because we really do NOT know that. She may have misinterpreted events and her descriptions may be inaccurate. There is no evidence she is lying or just making things up. She may in fact be describing what happened exactly as she remembers it.
You are wrong here. She blatantly lied. She said that he nuzzled her neck and said it smelled so good.
He nozzled her neck. She said I bet you can smell my spray tan or something like that.
He said, it smells good?
Not smells so good and not right after nuzzling her neck.
That is a lie. It was completely meant to mislead people into thinking he was gross when he was just trying to converse with her.
I don't even understand this response.
Did he nuzzle her neck, even though she'd stated previously she thought their characters would be talking instead, and she repeatedly leans away from him and breaks their physical contact? Yes. Two different interpretations, but not a lie.
In her original complaint she does say that he says "it smells so good" and we see on the video he actually said "it smells good." But he *does* say it and he says it while nuzzling her. She corrects it in her amended complaint, and her original quote was very close and likely a misremembering (she did not have the benefit of the video and appears to have believed it was recorded without audio so was basing it exclusively on her recollection). So a misremembering and different interpretation, but not a lie.
She was clearly grossed out by his comment about it smelling good, because in the video we see her once again push back and make a comment like "no, actually it's my makeup" in a tone that illustrates she did not think that what he said was appropriate. It's clear *in the video* that she has interpreted his comment to cross a line and is bothered by it, and she objects to it during the video. So: not a lie. She didn't like the comment, felt it was inappropriate, and mostly remembers the interaction accurately, but has one interpretation of it while Baldoni and others feel her interpretation is wrong, that she is overreacting to his behavior and comment. It's fine to say you think she overreacted (I actually agree with that), but it is not accurate to say "she lied."
It is 100% accurate to say she lied. The fact that she omitted the part where she said “I’m probably getting my spray tan on you” clearly makes the whole story a lie. When you omit facts to intentionally mislead, it’s a lie. That’s what Blake did to the paparazzo. She said he blocked them with his car, when he was actually on foot and it was all on camera. That’s what some allege she did with her time speech. Calling her mother’s attacker a work acquaintance and vaguely referring to a crime so we would fill in the blanks that a man had assaulted her mother, but now some are saying what actually happened was her mother had an altercation with a woman at work. Blake has a sick way of twisting the truth. She is a liar.
You are using the word "lie" incorrectly. She didn't lie. She omitted a fact that provides a potential defense for Baldoni. That's not only okay, it's practically required. Lawyers are not supposed to provide defendants with arguments in a complaint. The assumption is that Baldoni will come back and say "I said that but I was just referring to the smell of her spray tan." That's how this works.
She was not lying about the comment bothering her -- we see her react immediately, in the moment, to the comment and she is bothered by it.
So she didn't lie. You just do not think, in context, that this allegation constitutes harassment. That's fine! Say that. Don't walk around claiming she lied when she told the truth and you just disagree with her take.
You're telling this poster to just say what they think, but they can't say they think Blake lied? Why do you want them to equivocate?
Whether or not she lied is an objective fact. Either she lied or she didn't. I am using the dictionary definition of "lie" -- an intentionally false statement -- and it doesn't apply here. Her statements are not false, they just aren't the full story. And she genuinely seems to believe what she is asserting.
You can't just say "I think she lied" but then not point to any specific example of a lie in her complaint. People point to what they believe to be misinterpretations of events, and to additional context they believe proves that Blake's interpretation is incorrect. Great. But that's different from her being a liar. Where is the lie?
Next you’re going to start telling us about alternative facts.

Did she lie or misremember? She thought he said "it smells so good" but the video showed he said "it smells good." Also she had assumed that since the scene was filmed with the intention of being edited into a montage with music over or, that audio had not been recorded. This was wrong, so her complaint corrected that. But we're these intentional lies or honest mistakes if someone reporting what they remembered without the benefit of access to the film?

She has an interpretation of that scene that does not seem 100% accurate when I watch it. That doesn't mean she was lying. I believe her when she says that she found his comment about her smelling good to cross a line. And he does say it, and he says it while nuzzling her neck and arm. But I can ALSO see how he believed himself to just be responding to her comment about spray tan. I genuinely think there are just two ways to look at that.
Also, you are misrepresenting her allegations regarding the dialogue in the scene. She says, accurately, the scene does not call for dialogue between the characters, and that it was not intended to have audio of them but to be set under the film score. That's correct. She does advocate for the characters to be talking in the scene, but with the obvious understanding that what they are actually saying doesn't matter and doesn't even need to be in character, since they were not trying to capture dialogue. Her objection to his "you smell good" comment is that this was clearly Justin saying it to Blake, out of character, but it felt uncomfortable to her because of the way it was said and what he was doing when he said it. I can look at it and say "eh, gray area -- he's trying to act out his character's interest in her character at the same time as he's making an out-of-character comment about her spray tan, and it comes off kind of like a come on, but I don't think was intended that way." But that's different from saying "she lied."
I get frustrated with the comments about Lively being a liar or claiming she's an evil person who is just out to get Justin, because I don't really see evidence of that. I think Lively genuinely believes her allegations. That doesn't mean they are true and he's guilty -- the dancing video shows the degree to which it really can be a matter of interpretation, and if ALL her allegations come down to something like that, especially anything caught on camera, I don't think she was SHed. But I also don't think she's an evil mastermind of some kind of film theft because even in that video I can see how and why she might have felt like his behavior crossed lines, and if some of her other allegations are not so nuanced and turn out to be clearer examples of the line crossing, then maybe she *was* SHed.
Screaming "she lied, she lied" all the time does make me think less of people's arguments because we really do NOT know that. She may have misinterpreted events and her descriptions may be inaccurate. There is no evidence she is lying or just making things up. She may in fact be describing what happened exactly as she remembers it.
You are wrong here. She blatantly lied. She said that he nuzzled her neck and said it smelled so good.
He nozzled her neck. She said I bet you can smell my spray tan or something like that.
He said, it smells good?
Not smells so good and not right after nuzzling her neck.
That is a lie. It was completely meant to mislead people into thinking he was gross when he was just trying to converse with her.
I don't even understand this response.
Did he nuzzle her neck, even though she'd stated previously she thought their characters would be talking instead, and she repeatedly leans away from him and breaks their physical contact? Yes. Two different interpretations, but not a lie.
In her original complaint she does say that he says "it smells so good" and we see on the video he actually said "it smells good." But he *does* say it and he says it while nuzzling her. She corrects it in her amended complaint, and her original quote was very close and likely a misremembering (she did not have the benefit of the video and appears to have believed it was recorded without audio so was basing it exclusively on her recollection). So a misremembering and different interpretation, but not a lie.
She was clearly grossed out by his comment about it smelling good, because in the video we see her once again push back and make a comment like "no, actually it's my makeup" in a tone that illustrates she did not think that what he said was appropriate. It's clear *in the video* that she has interpreted his comment to cross a line and is bothered by it, and she objects to it during the video. So: not a lie. She didn't like the comment, felt it was inappropriate, and mostly remembers the interaction accurately, but has one interpretation of it while Baldoni and others feel her interpretation is wrong, that she is overreacting to his behavior and comment. It's fine to say you think she overreacted (I actually agree with that), but it is not accurate to say "she lied."
It is 100% accurate to say she lied. The fact that she omitted the part where she said “I’m probably getting my spray tan on you” clearly makes the whole story a lie. When you omit facts to intentionally mislead, it’s a lie. That’s what Blake did to the paparazzo. She said he blocked them with his car, when he was actually on foot and it was all on camera. That’s what some allege she did with her time speech. Calling her mother’s attacker a work acquaintance and vaguely referring to a crime so we would fill in the blanks that a man had assaulted her mother, but now some are saying what actually happened was her mother had an altercation with a woman at work. Blake has a sick way of twisting the truth. She is a liar.
You are using the word "lie" incorrectly. She didn't lie. She omitted a fact that provides a potential defense for Baldoni. That's not only okay, it's practically required. Lawyers are not supposed to provide defendants with arguments in a complaint. The assumption is that Baldoni will come back and say "I said that but I was just referring to the smell of her spray tan." That's how this works.
She was not lying about the comment bothering her -- we see her react immediately, in the moment, to the comment and she is bothered by it.
So she didn't lie. You just do not think, in context, that this allegation constitutes harassment. That's fine! Say that. Don't walk around claiming she lied when she told the truth and you just disagree with her take.
You're telling this poster to just say what they think, but they can't say they think Blake lied? Why do you want them to equivocate?
Whether or not she lied is an objective fact. Either she lied or she didn't. I am using the dictionary definition of "lie" -- an intentionally false statement -- and it doesn't apply here. Her statements are not false, they just aren't the full story. And she genuinely seems to believe what she is asserting.
You can't just say "I think she lied" but then not point to any specific example of a lie in her complaint. People point to what they believe to be misinterpretations of events, and to additional context they believe proves that Blake's interpretation is incorrect. Great. But that's different from her being a liar. Where is the lie?
You are trying really hard here, but it’s not even remotely working. No one is saying we think she lied. There is video footage proving that she lied. So much so, that her legal team ended up amending her complaint and taking that out. Even her team admitted she lied.
Did she lie or misremember? She thought he said "it smells so good" but the video showed he said "it smells good." Also she had assumed that since the scene was filmed with the intention of being edited into a montage with music over or, that audio had not been recorded. This was wrong, so her complaint corrected that. But we're these intentional lies or honest mistakes if someone reporting what they remembered without the benefit of access to the film?
Blake has been shown multiple times to be a known liar, so no. But if she had misremembered, a normal person would apologize. Instead, Blake doubles down at every turn despite the huge public backlash.

I dislike Blake and think that would be troubling on a film set where people have to kiss, but the tone of this is childish. Something like half the population has the virus that causes cold sores and it's not like it's the result of someone doing something bad. Like you don't get a cold sore because you are unhygienic or a bad person. People just get them.
I also have trouble believing she had active cold sores during filming. She's in like every scene and there are a lot of close ups. I would NEVER agree to be on screen when I had a cold sore! Even if you catch it early and treat it immediately, it would be visible, Even with great makeup. I would assume instead they'd get a prescription immediately and shuffle around filming scenes as well as they could until it was totally gone. With good meds that might only take a couple days, and if you stayed on the medication there is not way they would come back. So this rumor strains credulity for me. At most she had one cold sore and presumably it was treated. And cold sores are unpleasant but in a professional setting people should be able to be mature about a medical issue that just needs to be treated and resolved. What if an actor got cystic acne while shooting? Is it appropriate to gossip about how "grossed out" everyone on set was about it? Grow up.
Just the messenger here. The point they’re trying to make is that Baldoni wasn’t looking to add “gratuitous” kissing and that in fact the opposite is true. People have also been pointing out that the fact Baldoni doesn’t bring this up in his complaint shows that he’s a professional and doesn’t want to embarrass Blake, even though she’s called him gross and everything else under the sun.
I mean it's a rumor, this is all speculation. If true and he brought it up in his complaint, it could be considered an improper disclosure of medical information. Especially since it's not relevant to any of his claims -- he's not claiming she infected him with cold sores. So it would look extremely petty AND risk getting slapped by the judge for introducing medical info just to embarrass her. It would be dumb.
Also in the video that was released, there's no question that he's trying to be more physically intimate with their faces than she is. She keeps leaning back away from him and trying to maintain conversation during the shoot, and he initiates every single instance of their faces touching. This both undermines the idea that she had cold sores the whole time and he was grossed out, and also does actually back up the whole "gratuitous kissing" argument on her side, even if her description of that scene is significantly less dramatic than what plays out on screen.

That’s right, ladies. Apologize to the man who harassed you and then ran a smear campaign on you. Know your place!

She misremembered small details, but maintains that his behavior was inappropriate and part of an SH campaign. Why would she apologize to someone she thinks harassed her, just because she remembered him saying "it smells so good" when he actually said "it smells good"? That's an absurd thing to apologize for. Her memory was substantially correct.
If she'd remembered him saying "it smells so good" when he'd actually said nothing, or had said "Blake, could you take two steps to the left for a better camera angle?" then perhaps an apology would be in order. That's not the case here.

She says, accurately, the scene does not call for dialogue between the characters, and that it was not intended to have audio of them but to be set under the film score. That's correct. She does advocate for the characters to be talking in the scene, but with the obvious understanding that what they are actually saying doesn't matter and doesn't even need to be in character, since they were not trying to capture dialogue. Her objection to his "you smell good" comment is that this was clearly Justin saying it to Blake, out of character, but it felt uncomfortable to her because of the way it was said and what he was doing when he said it. I can look at it and say "eh, gray area -- he's trying to act out his character's interest in her character at the same time as he's making an out-of-character comment about her spray tan, and it comes off kind of like a come on, but I don't think was intended that way." But that's different from saying "she lied."
I get frustrated with the comments about Lively being a liar or claiming she's an evil person who is just out to get Justin, because I don't really see evidence of that. I think Lively genuinely believes her allegations. That doesn't mean they are true and he's guilty -- the dancing video shows the degree to which it really can be a matter of interpretation, and if ALL her allegations come down to something like that, especially anything caught on camera, I don't think she was SHed. But I also don't think she's an evil mastermind of some kind of film theft because even in that video I can see how and why she might have felt like his behavior crossed lines, and if some of her other allegations are not so nuanced and turn out to be clearer examples of the line crossing, then maybe she *was* SHed.
Screaming "she lied, she lied" all the time does make me think less of people's arguments because we really do NOT know that. She may have misinterpreted events and her descriptions may be inaccurate. There is no evidence she is lying or just making things up. She may in fact be describing what happened exactly as she remembers it.
You are wrong here. She blatantly lied. She said that he nuzzled her neck and said it smelled so good.
He nozzled her neck. She said I bet you can smell my spray tan or something like that.
He said, it smells good?
Not smells so good and not right after nuzzling her neck.
That is a lie. It was completely meant to mislead people into thinking he was gross when he was just trying to converse with her.
I don't even understand this response.
Did he nuzzle her neck, even though she'd stated previously she thought their characters would be talking instead, and she repeatedly leans away from him and breaks their physical contact? Yes. Two different interpretations, but not a lie.
In her original complaint she does say that he says "it smells so good" and we see on the video he actually said "it smells good." But he *does* say it and he says it while nuzzling her. She corrects it in her amended complaint, and her original quote was very close and likely a misremembering (she did not have the benefit of the video and appears to have believed it was recorded without audio so was basing it exclusively on her recollection). So a misremembering and different interpretation, but not a lie.
She was clearly grossed out by his comment about it smelling good, because in the video we see her once again push back and make a comment like "no, actually it's my makeup" in a tone that illustrates she did not think that what he said was appropriate. It's clear *in the video* that she has interpreted his comment to cross a line and is bothered by it, and she objects to it during the video. So: not a lie. She didn't like the comment, felt it was inappropriate, and mostly remembers the interaction accurately, but has one interpretation of it while Baldoni and others feel her interpretation is wrong, that she is overreacting to his behavior and comment. It's fine to say you think she overreacted (I actually agree with that), but it is not accurate to say "she lied."
It is 100% accurate to say she lied. The fact that she omitted the part where she said “I’m probably getting my spray tan on you” clearly makes the whole story a lie. When you omit facts to intentionally mislead, it’s a lie. That’s what Blake did to the paparazzo. She said he blocked them with his car, when he was actually on foot and it was all on camera. That’s what some allege she did with her time speech. Calling her mother’s attacker a work acquaintance and vaguely referring to a crime so we would fill in the blanks that a man had assaulted her mother, but now some are saying what actually happened was her mother had an altercation with a woman at work. Blake has a sick way of twisting the truth. She is a liar.
You are using the word "lie" incorrectly. She didn't lie. She omitted a fact that provides a potential defense for Baldoni. That's not only okay, it's practically required. Lawyers are not supposed to provide defendants with arguments in a complaint. The assumption is that Baldoni will come back and say "I said that but I was just referring to the smell of her spray tan." That's how this works.
She was not lying about the comment bothering her -- we see her react immediately, in the moment, to the comment and she is bothered by it.
So she didn't lie. You just do not think, in context, that this allegation constitutes harassment. That's fine! Say that. Don't walk around claiming she lied when she told the truth and you just disagree with her take.
You're telling this poster to just say what they think, but they can't say they think Blake lied? Why do you want them to equivocate?
Whether or not she lied is an objective fact. Either she lied or she didn't. I am using the dictionary definition of "lie" -- an intentionally false statement -- and it doesn't apply here. Her statements are not false, they just aren't the full story. And she genuinely seems to believe what she is asserting.
You can't just say "I think she lied" but then not point to any specific example of a lie in her complaint. People point to what they believe to be misinterpretations of events, and to additional context they believe proves that Blake's interpretation is incorrect. Great. But that's different from her being a liar. Where is the lie?
You are trying really hard here, but it’s not even remotely working. No one is saying we think she lied. There is video footage proving that she lied. So much so, that her legal team ended up amending her complaint and taking that out. Even her team admitted she lied.
Did she lie or misremember? She thought he said "it smells so good" but the video showed he said "it smells good." Also she had assumed that since the scene was filmed with the intention of being edited into a montage with music over or, that audio had not been recorded. This was wrong, so her complaint corrected that. But we're these intentional lies or honest mistakes if someone reporting what they remembered without the benefit of access to the film?
Come on. That's clearly not what people referring to.

I dislike Blake and think that would be troubling on a film set where people have to kiss, but the tone of this is childish. Something like half the population has the virus that causes cold sores and it's not like it's the result of someone doing something bad. Like you don't get a cold sore because you are unhygienic or a bad person. People just get them.
I also have trouble believing she had active cold sores during filming. She's in like every scene and there are a lot of close ups. I would NEVER agree to be on screen when I had a cold sore! Even if you catch it early and treat it immediately, it would be visible, Even with great makeup. I would assume instead they'd get a prescription immediately and shuffle around filming scenes as well as they could until it was totally gone. With good meds that might only take a couple days, and if you stayed on the medication there is not way they would come back. So this rumor strains credulity for me. At most she had one cold sore and presumably it was treated. And cold sores are unpleasant but in a professional setting people should be able to be mature about a medical issue that just needs to be treated and resolved. What if an actor got cystic acne while shooting? Is it appropriate to gossip about how "grossed out" everyone on set was about it? Grow up.
Just the messenger here. The point they’re trying to make is that Baldoni wasn’t looking to add “gratuitous” kissing and that in fact the opposite is true. People have also been pointing out that the fact Baldoni doesn’t bring this up in his complaint shows that he’s a professional and doesn’t want to embarrass Blake, even though she’s called him gross and everything else under the sun.
I mean it's a rumor, this is all speculation. If true and he brought it up in his complaint, it could be considered an improper disclosure of medical information. Especially since it's not relevant to any of his claims -- he's not claiming she infected him with cold sores. So it would look extremely petty AND risk getting slapped by the judge for introducing medical info just to embarrass her. It would be dumb.
Also in the video that was released, there's no question that he's trying to be more physically intimate with their faces than she is. She keeps leaning back away from him and trying to maintain conversation during the shoot, and he initiates every single instance of their faces touching. This both undermines the idea that she had cold sores the whole time and he was grossed out, and also does actually back up the whole "gratuitous kissing" argument on her side, even if her description of that scene is significantly less dramatic than what plays out on screen.
I see once again we're doing an analysis of that video. She lied. End of. She claimed she was harassed by Justin who was whispering sweet nothings in her ear and wanted to talk when the scene didn't even call for talking, when it turns out she was the one who wanted them to be conversing.
Lying would be her claiming he said something he didn't say, or that he grabbed her butt or something when we can all say he didn't.
She has an interpretation of that scene that does not seem 100% accurate when I watch it. That doesn't mean she was lying. I believe her when she says that she found his comment about her smelling good to cross a line. And he does say it, and he says it while nuzzling her neck and arm. But I can ALSO see how he believed himself to just be responding to her comment about spray tan. I genuinely think there are just two ways to look at that.

But I also don't think she's an evil mastermind of some kind of film theft because even in that video I can see how and why she might have felt like his behavior crossed lines, and if some of her other allegations are not so nuanced and turn out to be clearer examples of the line crossing, then maybe she *was* SHed.
Screaming "she lied, she lied" all the time does make me think less of people's arguments because we really do NOT know that. She may have misinterpreted events and her descriptions may be inaccurate. There is no evidence she is lying or just making things up. She may in fact be describing what happened exactly as she remembers it.
You are wrong here. She blatantly lied. She said that he nuzzled her neck and said it smelled so good.
He nozzled her neck. She said I bet you can smell my spray tan or something like that.
He said, it smells good?
Not smells so good and not right after nuzzling her neck.
That is a lie. It was completely meant to mislead people into thinking he was gross when he was just trying to converse with her.
I don't even understand this response.
Did he nuzzle her neck, even though she'd stated previously she thought their characters would be talking instead, and she repeatedly leans away from him and breaks their physical contact? Yes. Two different interpretations, but not a lie.
In her original complaint she does say that he says "it smells so good" and we see on the video he actually said "it smells good." But he *does* say it and he says it while nuzzling her. She corrects it in her amended complaint, and her original quote was very close and likely a misremembering (she did not have the benefit of the video and appears to have believed it was recorded without audio so was basing it exclusively on her recollection). So a misremembering and different interpretation, but not a lie.
She was clearly grossed out by his comment about it smelling good, because in the video we see her once again push back and make a comment like "no, actually it's my makeup" in a tone that illustrates she did not think that what he said was appropriate. It's clear *in the video* that she has interpreted his comment to cross a line and is bothered by it, and she objects to it during the video. So: not a lie. She didn't like the comment, felt it was inappropriate, and mostly remembers the interaction accurately, but has one interpretation of it while Baldoni and others feel her interpretation is wrong, that she is overreacting to his behavior and comment. It's fine to say you think she overreacted (I actually agree with that), but it is not accurate to say "she lied."
It is 100% accurate to say she lied. The fact that she omitted the part where she said “I’m probably getting my spray tan on you” clearly makes the whole story a lie. When you omit facts to intentionally mislead, it’s a lie. That’s what Blake did to the paparazzo. She said he blocked them with his car, when he was actually on foot and it was all on camera. That’s what some allege she did with her time speech. Calling her mother’s attacker a work acquaintance and vaguely referring to a crime so we would fill in the blanks that a man had assaulted her mother, but now some are saying what actually happened was her mother had an altercation with a woman at work. Blake has a sick way of twisting the truth. She is a liar.
You are using the word "lie" incorrectly. She didn't lie. She omitted a fact that provides a potential defense for Baldoni. That's not only okay, it's practically required. Lawyers are not supposed to provide defendants with arguments in a complaint. The assumption is that Baldoni will come back and say "I said that but I was just referring to the smell of her spray tan." That's how this works.
She was not lying about the comment bothering her -- we see her react immediately, in the moment, to the comment and she is bothered by it.
So she didn't lie. You just do not think, in context, that this allegation constitutes harassment. That's fine! Say that. Don't walk around claiming she lied when she told the truth and you just disagree with her take.
You're telling this poster to just say what they think, but they can't say they think Blake lied? Why do you want them to equivocate?
Whether or not she lied is an objective fact. Either she lied or she didn't. I am using the dictionary definition of "lie" -- an intentionally false statement -- and it doesn't apply here. Her statements are not false, they just aren't the full story. And she genuinely seems to believe what she is asserting.
You can't just say "I think she lied" but then not point to any specific example of a lie in her complaint. People point to what they believe to be misinterpretations of events, and to additional context they believe proves that Blake's interpretation is incorrect. Great. But that's different from her being a liar. Where is the lie?
You are trying really hard here, but it’s not even remotely working. No one is saying we think she lied. There is video footage proving that she lied. So much so, that her legal team ended up amending her complaint and taking that out. Even her team admitted she lied.
Did she lie or misremember? She thought he said "it smells so good" but the video showed he said "it smells good." Also she had assumed that since the scene was filmed with the intention of being edited into a montage with music over or, that audio had not been recorded. This was wrong, so her complaint corrected that. But we're these intentional lies or honest mistakes if someone reporting what they remembered without the benefit of access to the film?
Come on. That's clearly not what people referring to.
Then what are people referring to? Articulate the "lie", the clear, intentional falsehood.
She omits facts to intentionally mislead about what he was doing.
Or twist things way out of context, like the fat shaming. Justin didn’t give a crap about her weight - it was she and Ryan, who went on the rants about training like an athlete for a freaking role as a flower shop owner. She was just incredibly self-conscious about her body and taking it out on everyone around her.

I dislike Blake and think that would be troubling on a film set where people have to kiss, but the tone of this is childish. Something like half the population has the virus that causes cold sores and it's not like it's the result of someone doing something bad. Like you don't get a cold sore because you are unhygienic or a bad person. People just get them.
I also have trouble believing she had active cold sores during filming. She's in like every scene and there are a lot of close ups. I would NEVER agree to be on screen when I had a cold sore! Even if you catch it early and treat it immediately, it would be visible, Even with great makeup. I would assume instead they'd get a prescription immediately and shuffle around filming scenes as well as they could until it was totally gone. With good meds that might only take a couple days, and if you stayed on the medication there is not way they would come back. So this rumor strains credulity for me. At most she had one cold sore and presumably it was treated. And cold sores are unpleasant but in a professional setting people should be able to be mature about a medical issue that just needs to be treated and resolved. What if an actor got cystic acne while shooting? Is it appropriate to gossip about how "grossed out" everyone on set was about it? Grow up.
Just the messenger here. The point they’re trying to make is that Baldoni wasn’t looking to add “gratuitous” kissing and that in fact the opposite is true. People have also been pointing out that the fact Baldoni doesn’t bring this up in his complaint shows that he’s a professional and doesn’t want to embarrass Blake, even though she’s called him gross and everything else under the sun.
I mean it's a rumor, this is all speculation. If true and he brought it up in his complaint, it could be considered an improper disclosure of medical information. Especially since it's not relevant to any of his claims -- he's not claiming she infected him with cold sores. So it would look extremely petty AND risk getting slapped by the judge for introducing medical info just to embarrass her. It would be dumb.
Also in the video that was released, there's no question that he's trying to be more physically intimate with their faces than she is. She keeps leaning back away from him and trying to maintain conversation during the shoot, and he initiates every single instance of their faces touching. This both undermines the idea that she had cold sores the whole time and he was grossed out, and also does actually back up the whole "gratuitous kissing" argument on her side, even if her description of that scene is significantly less dramatic than what plays out on screen.
I see once again we're doing an analysis of that video. She lied. End of. She claimed she was harassed by Justin who was whispering sweet nothings in her ear and wanted to talk when the scene didn't even call for talking, when it turns out she was the one who wanted them to be conversing.
Lying would be her claiming he said something he didn't say, or that he grabbed her butt or something when we can all say he didn't.
She has an interpretation of that scene that does not seem 100% accurate when I watch it. That doesn't mean she was lying. I believe her when she says that she found his comment about her smelling good to cross a line. And he does say it, and he says it while nuzzling her neck and arm. But I can ALSO see how he believed himself to just be responding to her comment about spray tan. I genuinely think there are just two ways to look at that.
Also, you are misrepresenting her allegations regarding the dialogue in the scene. She says, accurately, the scene does not call for dialogue between the characters, and that it was not intended to have audio of them but to be set under the film score. That's correct. She does advocate for the characters to be talking in the scene, but with the obvious understanding that what they are actually saying doesn't matter and doesn't even need to be in character, since they were not trying to capture dialogue. Her objection to his "you smell good" comment is that this was clearly Justin saying it to Blake, out of character, but it felt uncomfortable to her because of the way it was said and what he was doing when he said it. I can look at it and say "eh, gray area -- he's trying to act out his character's interest in her character at the same time as he's making an out-of-character comment about her spray tan, and it comes off kind of like a come on, but I don't think was intended that way." But that's different from saying "she lied."
I get frustrated with the comments about Lively being a liar or claiming she's an evil person who is just out to get Justin, because I don't really see evidence of that. I think Lively genuinely believes her allegations. That doesn't mean they are true and he's guilty -- the dancing video shows the degree to which it really can be a matter of interpretation, and if ALL her allegations come down to something like that, especially anything caught on camera, I don't think she was SHed.

I agree. I think I remember freedman mentioning her mental health could be relevant to the case. She seemed to have a lot going on. She had just had a baby, had expressed insecurities about her postpartum body, was constantly sick, the baby got Covid which was probably stressful, and now we know she was dealing with cold sores while having to film romantic scenes. I thought it was super odd that the straw that broke the camel’s back was when JB told her she had something in her teeth. A lot of this goes back to her feeling like her appearance was being picked apart. At the same time it’s not fair to put her baggage on Justin.

Agree. I sympathize with her that it’s hell to be a woman in this industry. And I really think she had the bad luck of Colleen Hoover being too stupid to know that an acclaimed neurosurgeon cannot be 26 years old. And that a 23-year-old with no money cant have a successful flower shop in the heart of Boston, and that a 23-year-old, who was homeless a couple years ago, cannot be running again, the hottest restaurant in all of Boston.
God this book sounds stupid. But regardless, it made sense to age the characters up, and Blake got caught up in the backlash around that. While I feel for her, she shouldn’t have taken out on everyone around her and behaved so irrationally.
