[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the most surprising things for me about these threads is how strongly people defend every little thing that is reported about Baldoni or Heath. It is unfortunate that so many still see sexist behavior by men as appropriate for the workplace and see Jenny Slate and Blake and other women involved as whiners who need to just sit down, shut up, not complain and take whatever comes their way. [/quote]

Still trying to make fetch happen. If sexist behavior in the workplace had occurred then yes, it is not acceptable. Your argument doesn't work because it did not happen.[/quote]

I guess for me it did. For example Jenny reported that he had called her sexy and made her uncomfortable. Yet all the responses to that were blaming women. To me, that is sexist behavior in the workplace. I don't feel my colleagues should be able to call me hot or sexy and that I am supposed to take that as a compliment and just accept it. There are multiple reports from a quite a few women about being uncomfortable on the set due to behaviour from Jamey and Justin and yet that the blame for that is all on the women who need to just not be so sensitive.[/quote]

Because the behaviors were not that out of the ordinary when they were in a movie with a lot of love scenes.

Why was it OK for Blake to tell Justin that he should really do something about his nose and consider a nose job? Apparently she was kidding, but I’m sure in a normal workplace that would not be tolerated.

Why is it OK for her to send him a text that once he gets to know her he will learn  ball busting is her love language and it’s spicy and never with teeth. You’d be OK with your husband getting a text like that from a coworker?

Why is it OK for Ryan to text Justin referencing his perineum?

None of these things are OK - none would be tolerated in a normal workplace, but this is Hollywood and things are different. It seems like Ryan and Blake can play by different rules but everyone else must act 100 percent buttoned up and if they don’t, they will just take small innocuous incidents and twist them wildly out of context.

The jurors aren't Hollywood people so it doesn't matter what Hollywood people think is normal. People will think about their own non Hollywood lives and experiences.[/quote]

This isn’t going to a jury. I guarantee Blake’s team will not let that happen.

But you are wrong. It doesn’t matter that they are not in Hollywood, people want women to be the perfect victim. And Blake is about as far from perfect as you can get. She had unlimited power on the set, was taking meetings in her tribeca penthouse, an entourage of assistants and a seemingly endless parade of nannies, plus her invite to Justin to join her in her private jet. There are also tons of texts and videos of her behavior - pulling on Justin, an unscripted kiss, and flirty texts.

I don’t believe that she was harassed, but even if she was, this would be an almost impossible uphill climb. the men who’ve gotten in trouble for this have had multiple women coming out spanning years and sometimes decades of truly horrific and illegal behavior. This was not that.

This was never meant to go this far. There are lawyers commenting that they actually think the strategy from her team is to have this lawsuit thrown out so she can blame the system. They are getting desperate.
