Billy Bush tells the alleged truth about Jenny Slate apartment story

" -Jenny was renting this AirBNB and she was very worried because it had this “dangerous” window and she was concerned that her 3 year old child could fall from the window. And how she didn’t feel safe and comfortable staying there

-She told Justin and Jamey and their reaction was something like ~Omg it sucks that you have to worry about that as a mother~

-And then Wayfarer got her her own place with $17,000!!! rent per month and they covered her whole rent for the duration of filming "

Gee, Heath and Baldoni are such saints.[/quote]

I don’t get the sarcasm here, that was above and beyond and really nice of them?

But anyway, no one is saying that they’re saints, just saying that it’s really hard to win with these people and Jenny looks out of touch for complaining about having to hear a positive statement about motherhood in exchange for $17,000.

It makes her seem insufferable. Either way, she’s not said word one since Justin filed his response so we have no idea if she still believes Blake or is on her side. [/quote]

What im saying is it's a little too above and beyond. The premise is she was venting about a dangerous window and not only did they empathize but wanted to help. OK. And the help given was not just assisting her with getting the owner to fix it, or changing her filming schedule so she could deal with it, or getting a realtor to find a new place. They decided to find her a new place and pay for her to move there and just cover her 17k rent for the rest of filming, just on their own volition That's certainly saintly and not really believable that anyone is that nice. There has to be something missing here, like this was part of her contract and perhaps the increased rent was offset some other way.[/quote]

Yes, I agree. There’s probably more to the story. I think the point that people are making though is it’s really hard from the context that we know so far, why she would complain or why this is close to sexual harassment or workplace mistreatment. It sounds like it’s most these guys are a little socially awkward. I just am not sure thats worth burning down their careers.

Not geling with some of the cast and maybe having some communication issues, I imagine that describes almost every set in the history of movie making. It’s just that it’s been nine months and this is the only information we’re getting… Just feels off and that  maybe Blake was digging around for small slights and encouraged people to blow them up.

I also feel like the social awkwardness is maybe benefiting them in other ways. If you look at the slate of movies and projects they’ve produced, they are way off the main stream, and they are not telling traditional stories. The movie with Scarlett Johansson directing, the one about the Indian boy getting Oscar buzz, The Harper and Will one which I was shocked didn’t get any Oscar nods, considering how well done and emotional that was.

They clearly have a different perspective and I think one that is off the mainstream and very welcome. That of course, doesn’t mean that they get to harass people, but I am one of those people that sees no evidence of harassment and just sees Blake lively being irrationally offended and impossible to please, and hell-bent on taking over parts of this movie.

I very much think she took advantage of both their social awkwardness, and also their empathy and overall kindness.
