[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's cute that there's a poster who's insistent in here that Justin should have just played ball with Lively, which would have helped his career in the long run. Ryan and Blake began accusing Justin of harassment before the cameras even began rolling. The alleged fat-shaming incident happened in pre-production. Blake was insistent in misreading Justin's actions at every single turn. When you deal with someone like, there's nothing you can do to counter their actions, and it's best to disengage immediately (unfortunately, Justin couldn't for the reasons outlined in his complaint).

You cannot charm your way out enough or act nice enough or act deferent enough. They are out to get you. I question the social survival instincts of the people here who think you can.[/quote]

It sure reads like a choreographed me too set up blackmail extortion whatever you want to call scheme from the very get-go. Really cool how the New York Times helped these scammers.[/quote]

So I have been on the fence about whether Blake planned this from the start. I've gone from thinking no way, she's just an oversensitive psycho, to now thinking maybe she did.

It's very curious to me that the set had so many problems and then, bam, after the 17-point list is signed, everything runs completely smoothly. I know people will say this is evidence that Justin finally got put in his place and he became too scared to try anything. I now view it more as Blake finally got something to hold over his head, so she didn't need to accuse him of anything anymore. [/quote]

I don’t know that they sat at the kitchen table in their NY penthouse and plotted this from day one. I think they saw opportunities to exploit justin early and took them. They know that he has this image and brand as a male feminist, and that made him an easy target. I also think Blake was way, way over sensitive about her postpartum body as her texts clearly showed. I think she was looking for a way out of the lift scene and found one. I truly think when he sent her the name of that woman to get probiotics from, the woman had something on her website like supplements for weight loss, and Blake flipped out and immediately thought he was trying to get her to take supplements or something, which is ridiculous.

But then once she had leverage I do thick she thought well what more can I get and saw him as a shortcut to a PGA.

I think if they planned it from the beginning, she would’ve been a lot more careful about her texts and her friendship with him, which was clearly there in the first few months. I also think the early pushback from fans seeing in the outfits and saying she was too old for the part really pushed her over the edge as well and she took a lot of that out on Justin.

And there’s no doubt in my mind that Ryan returning from the overseas Deadpool shoot and seeing some of the dailies or something had something to do with us as well. He is clearly very insecure.

I do think there are some strange things like Wayfair was pushing her to sign and make any amendments to the nudity rider and she didn’t do that. So she shot the birthing scene without it and then was conveniently able to say that she was uncomfortable with it. I definitely think that was strategic. It seemed strategic for her not to sign her contract and for her not to return that rider so that she could pull crap like that. It still amazes me that they paid her 3 million before she had signed the contract. She was then just able to hold a lot over their head. That was certainly a mess up on their part but I do think they were feeling pressure from Sony to just play ball and get through the shoot.

I don’t think people understand that she had not decided to go crazy after the writer strike and whip out this list of demands Justin would’ve only had to deal with her a couple more weeks. Then he would’ve been free to spend the next several months editing the movie. I don’t think he anticipated her totally trying to take over the edit and the marketing. It sounded like they were just trying to get through the next few weeks and be done with it. This might have played out very differently if not for the strike….who knows. [/quote]

I agree with a lot of this. Someone posted on Reddit that without a crystal ball has a source on the crew who WF has tons of evidence of Blake’s bad behavior that will come out at trial b/c it’s all on camera. They said the cameras often kept rolling between takes and there’s lots of footage of Blake being a nightmare and none of Justin SH’ing here. [/quote]
