[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people believe Justin, not Blake. Plantation Princess will be desperate to be exonerated, I actually think she wants this to go to trial.[/quote]

Baldoni fans or people on his side at least would love for this to go to trial also. We want to hear from the assistant directors, boom operators, script supervisors, and everyone with intimate knowledge of what went down on that set who he has disclosed. Would love to hear from the wellness person that she accused of being a weight loss coach. She hasn’t disclosed any of those folks, just sisterhood of the traveling pants cast members. We’ve already established Taylor won’t be involved.

That speaks volumes. She does not want people with intimate acknowledge of the set, taking the stand. Wonder why.

Yes, let’s bring on the trial.

It is so clear from the way this case was started and played out… they thought the New York Times article would be at the end of it, and they never thought that they would be here. yet, here we are. [/quote]

But remember you will also hear from the makeup people, Lively's assistant and nanny, Jenny Slate, the Sony people, and others who may present a much more pro-Lively version of events. I don't think you can assume that if it goes to trial, everything will obviously swing towards Baldoni.

I also think pro-Baldoni folks need to consider that even if their guy is totally innocent of SH and retaliation, the trial may reveal that he's not so great. One thing that has made me cautious about choosing a side in this case is the way Baldoni folks talk about him and Heath and the Wayfarer people. But as an outsider with no horse in this race, I see a lot NOT to like about these people. Heath and Baldoni seem tone-deaf and obnoxious in a way a lot of Hollywood people do (so does Lively, to be clear, but I'd put them all on about the same level of "likability" -- the interviews I've seen with Baldoni are no more likable than what I know about Lively). Sarowitz honestly seems like kind of a villain in all this -- the Hamas comment was messed up and he seems like your typical thin-skinned, power mad billionaire throwing his weight around. ALL the PR people seem like the worst, and that includes Abel and Nathan (as well as Jones and Sloane, Sloane probably seems the least bad at this point but she's probably awful). Nathan seems to have an especially horrible personality and I just cannot imagine that she will garner a lot of sympathy for the Wayfarer side. Abel seems more likable but also kind of dumb.

I think it's very easy if you've picked a side to view everything in the light most favorable to that side (this goes for pro-Lively people too, for sure, it's just there are less of those). But as someone who truly does not have a side, I don't get warm fuzzies from the Wayfarer characters at all. Probably the person coming off best right now is Jed Wallace, which is kind of funny. Everyone else seems kind of like trash.[/quote]

Oh, I agree. They are all trash. I don’t know that there are that many people rooting for Wayfarer vs just being on their side because Blake seems insane. The problem is that it is a very behind-the-scenes brand so they can continue even if tarnished to churn out the kind of movies that they do. People are going to go see a scar jo movie if they want - they don’t care who’s producing it.

But Blake‘s brand is all about being out front. Selling her hair products and being in movies. Being seen with Taylor Swift was huge and now that’s gone. So I think at the end of the day while you are right that not a lot of people are really rooting for wayfarer, this has tarnished Blake’s brand, but I am the one who said they never thought it would get this far and thought it was going to end at the New York Times article.
