Keep reaching.

They're trying to deflect from the fact that Gottlieb didn't sign the latest letter from Blake's team.

Blake and Ryan’s careers are over. My hunch is Ryan cuts bait by Christmas. Divorce. He’s always been a ruthless sociopathic striver.

Ironically, this headline is much more favorable to Lively than the Daily Mail or People mag headlines on their original stories.

But here's another turn: People now has a much more favorable story up top: "Blake Lively's Lawyer Denies She Threatened Taylor Swift, Calls Justin Baldoni's Team 'Completely Untethered from Reality'" https://people.com/blake-lively-lawyer-denies-claim-threatened-taylor-swift-11734946

And Daily Mail, amazingly, has placed this puff piece on Lively's mother that they published shortly before the Freedman bombshell at the top of their Showbiz page: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14712103/Blake-Lively-mother-stunning-model.html

They did an update on the mom piece later in the day too. If you go to their Blake Lively coverage, the original story about the Freedman allegations is still #1, but if you just go to Showbiz, it's the mom story.

Interesting to me because we know how much effort goes into this on the part of the PR folks. I don't think any of that is accidental -- the initial headlines were very anti-Lively (except TMZ) but they've all rebalanced in the last couple hours, presumably as Blake's people have called in favors (or made threats! I don't know!).

This inside baseball tabloid trash breakdown and how much they continue to blow on PR doesn’t really matter. The crisis PR and strategy grifters are just stealing millions from them because it’s all futile. The masses, easily 90+ % of casual observers, know they’re both compulsive lying scammers and nothing will change anyone’s mind. It’s over. Blake and Ryan must be in denial and/or have a team of self-serving vultures around them who only seek to milk them while their ship sinks. Should have settled this months ago. It’s obviously getting worse for them and the number they’re going to have to wire grows by the day.

I actually give kudos to Blakes PR folks on this one. They can't have known this was coming, or had much warning, and they actually managed to reshape the narrative by a lot in the major outlets by dinner. My friend who I've been texting with about this case as a distraction from her chemo was not online this afternoon and by the time she checked in, the story was much more even than what I saw this afternoon as it broke. I was like "whoa this is terrible for Blake" and her response was "we'll see, seems like freedman is talking out of is a$$."

So I actually think this could backfire hugely for Baldoni if freedman doesn't have the goods here. We'll see!

One theory is Blake at the very least had smoking gun proof Taylor’s relationship with Travis was mutually beneficial fake PR and thought that was a bargaining chip. So this lawsuit drama is why Taylor and Travis have to still pretend to be together, which if even semi-true, is hilarious. This Blake and Ryan scheme is the gift that keeps on giving. lol

Nah, sorry, wait, maybe that's wrong. He's listed in a signature block, just doesn't sign but Freedman signs.

This ineffective nonsense is not shaping or re-shaping anything. Everyone knows this is multi million PR, paid for planted stories, and bots. It’s not changing anyone’s minds, grifters are just bleeding Blake and Ryan’s bank accounts. Blake and Ryan should have written a very big check months ago and laid low.

I don't think that it means anything because all this happened so fast. The odds that Gottlieb was available to just drop whatever was on his schedule this afternoon are slim -- he's a litigator and he might be in depositions, hearings, etc. His statement to TMZ was unequivocal and they got the response out before COB. The fact that it came from Hudson, who is co-counsel, does not strike me as relevant.

Everyone on this thread knows that. "Everyone" does not know that. I feel way savvier about how these publications work after following this case but most people aren't following at that level. They'll read the headline, take it at face value, and move on. So yes, the the planted stories and the massaged headlines work. Most people are passing observers.

This is my favorite comment of the day, I love that you are bringing back the Travis/Taylor fake relationship rumors. I feel like my DCUM experience is coming full circle.

All the high traffic forums, TikTok, YouTube, etc. have all turned against Blake and Ryan. No amount of brigading and bots will fix this.

It is over.

Maybe a divorced Blake can go on Oprah in summer 2026 and cry about her depression causing her to make all this scheme up.

I feel like this thread is making mountains out of molehills. The major publications did a nice touch by making sure the headlines noted that all this came from Justin's camp. Bryan Freedman doesn't have the greatest reputation, and most people are seeing this for the potential PR bluster that it is. Gottlieb also did a great job responding so quickly and denying Freedman's claims. Bryan was unwise to involve Taylor -- sure, Justin might capture some Swifties, but most people see this for the PR grab that it is. I actually think Justin comes out of this looking worse, not better.








lol j/k. Did I do a good job of imitating the pro-Lively shill?

It’s not good for Blake when the Hollywood Reporter, a respected trade magazine, is also publishing the story with an unfavorable headline however this one blames her attorneys
