[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a basic question I haven't seen answered, but I may have. missed it in all these pages.

Did JB REJECT her request for an intimacy coordinator?  Did she ask for one from the beginning?  if not, why not?

She had a lot of power on this movie.[/quote]

He took initiative to hire and meet with intimacy coordinator. He asked Blake to meet with her. Blake said she was comfortable and declined meeting. It’s all documented. [/quote]

You make it sound like intimacy coordinators just meet once or twice with actors during preproduction and that's it.

Lively's allegation is not that there was no intimacy coordinator. Nor is it that the intimacy coordinator was not engaged to choreograph certain scripted sex scenes. Her allegation is that Baldoni added intimate scenes and intimate elements to existing scenes, that were not scripted and were not choreographed with the IC, and that the IC was not on set when those scenes were filmed.

Baldoni asked Lively to meet with the IC during preproduction to discuss certain scripted sex scenes and Lively declined, saying she already felt comfortable with those scenes. That was before Lively had worked with Baldoni on set and realized that he would push the envelope with intimacy in other scenes.[/quote]

Then you say no. She had loads of power on this set. It became an issue when she wanted the rights to the second movie. [/quote]

She did say no. That's part of the case -- she's saying that she repeatedly "said no" and objected to the way Baldoni handled intimate scenes on set, and advocated for herself. Lively started raising objections to things Baldoni was doing on the first or second day of shooting -- she said "no" repeatedly and frequently.

Then there was a pause in filming due to the strikes. Before coming back, Lively asked Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer to agree that the behavior she'd objected to during the first part of filming would cease, that there would be an IC with Lively at all times on set, and that they would not attempt to retaliate against her for raising her concerns.

And then Baldoni hired a PR team that engaged Jed Wallace to try and destroy Lively's reputation online.

So she sued for sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, violation of her nudity rider, etc.[/quote]
