[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]However this case ends, Blake’s career and likely Ryan’s is now over.  They bought themselves years and years of negative publicity going after the content creators.  And bought is the appropriate verb as they are paying their own lawyers millions to destroy their reputations.  Can’t see the forest for the trees.  Two idiots.[/quote]

No.  If Reynolds career was over -- he would be fine as he is likely worth just under a billion dollars.  But this will have no impact whatsoever on him.  Not even a speed bump.  Also Lively will be fine.  Most people do not follow this.  Most know nothing about it.  She won the general public PR battle for those that do.  Studios will be happy to use her as she is bank; no impact.  No one cares ever about content creators.  They never have and never will.  Studios hate them so probably love this.  This is not a bad day for them.  Baldoni is the one that is done.  No studio will back him again.  Even if he is right and did nothing wrong he is not worth the hassle.  Lively is.[/quote]

The general public has backed Baldoni, not Lively. This is the most delusional comment in the thread. [/quote]

DP but I agree with the PP. I dont' say that as a Lively or Reynolds fan. Most people don't care about this case one way or another, and Reynolds in particular makes the kind of middle-brow, crowd-pleasing entertainment that is highly profitable. Plus he's heavily diversified. I see this having basically no impact on him unless something comes out that totally destroys his reputation, but it would have to be way bigger than anything we've seen so far. He will not be abandoned by the people and companies that currently greatly profit off him just because some people view him as a bully. Hollywood and business are filled with bullies, it's probably a point in his favor in many of these circles.

Lively, I don't know. I wasn't a Lively fan before so I don't really get her appeal. If I had to put money on it, though, I'd assume she'll recover regardless of the outcome here because, like Ryan, I think most of the people who like her as an actress or follow her on Instagram have a fairly shallow, surface-level interest anyway. She was never their idol, they just liked her clothes or liked the fantasy of her life with Reynolds.

I don't think this is delusional, it's just realistic. I think people who are really invested in the case definitely skew towards Baldoni by a lot, but I think that's a tiny portion of the population and that most people don't care at all and never will.[/quote]

I was not commenting on whether Ryan’s career would be fine or whether Blake would still get roles. I was specifically commenting on who the general public has backed, and it’s Justin, not Blake.[/quote]
