Why is Blake Lively so overrated?

[Anonymous]

The part about competing publicists makes this very, very messy.

Not really.

First, there are no real “friends” in Hollywood. It’s all about money, and Ryan Reynolds has a lot of it. When people flock to support the person with more power, I would never assume it’s because they’re in the right.

Second, Blake Lively has time and preparation in her favor. Justin has probably been in crisis mode all week and on the phone with his lawyers.

Ah- I had been wondering why this published the afternoon before many people check out until the end of year. Now I see, slows his ability to respond in the press.

I disagree.

I (and presumably many others) am not supporting BL because she has more money and power but because she is a woman who endured an incredibly hostile and degrading work environment. When she tried to set reasonable professional boundaries there she was subject to a nasty smear campaign. This happens to many women who are less well connected and wealthy than BL. While I wish all women who face sexual harassment could have access to BL’s resources, sadly they don’t. I am glad that BL has been fighting back against overwhelming online misogyny and work places that casually degrade women. This indirectly helps other women by changing the assumptions and narrative.

I was incensed by the way Amber heard was treated by social media during the Johnny Depp DV trial. Good for BL and her legal team for figuring out how to beat back that Goliath.

The Sisterhood actresses have been Blake’s friends for a long time — way pre-Ryan and star status. When that movie was made, she wasn’t even the biggest star of the 4 of them.

Justin could have just acted professionally. But he didn’t. He should have just left her alone.

The only thing I needed to know was that Baldoni used the same PR firm that Johnny Depp used.

I really don't know much about Blake Lively, I didn't watch Gossip Girl and I doubt that I've seen any of her movies other than Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (I haven't seen THIS particular movie because I didn't like the book), but again, knowing what PR firm this is, I 100% believe the smear campaign. Look at what they did to Amber Heard.

None if this changes the fact that Blake Lively has a problem with being very unlikable and a "mean girl." You cannot sue your way into a decent or nice personality, and you don't make people like you by suing someone, either.

You don’t have to like her. It’s weird, since you don’t even know her, but that has exactly nothing to do with her claim.

It's not about whether BL is a nice person. Assume for the sake of argument that she's not. That doesn't give someone the right to do the sorts of thinks JB is accused of doing. It's certainly not the law that it's all right to sexually harass a woman if she's not well liked.

She got the texts through the discovery process so JB wasn't caught off guard by this lawsuit. He had plenty of time to prepare.

Hey, all I know is what I'm reading and the allegations of the complaint may not be true--though it's rather obvious from JB's lawyers response in "defense" that the texts between JB and Nathan are real. But even if the suit doesn't help BL's career, it sure the heck isn't going to help JB's.

No woman deserves to be harassed kr raped.

The point is to hold perpetuators accountable not to win popularity contests.

So now Baldoni raped her? The story keeps changing.

Not at all but it is on the same victim blaming spectrum

If all of this really happened why was she out promoting the movie with the frivolous "wear your florals" PR campaign? If she was really so horrifically harassed on set she should have refused to do PR or announced her lawsuit during the "florals" interviews. The reason I don't believe her is because of her stupid promotion of the movie.

This is ridiculous - having poor judgement does not mean she was not sexually harassed and subject to a degrading work set.

Embracing her femininity and symbols of feminine power does not mean she was not sexually harassed.


Women can’t win / if she wore more masculine attire she would be criticized for not representing most victims of DV in the movie.

I believe her. The allegations were very specific and a number of people who worked with her on set are backing her version.
