[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The retaliation claim is weak because Justin’s defense is that he was not acting in retaliation for sexual harassment, but because of Blake’s campaign against him.  It’s a question for the jury and that is bad for Blake.  Her lack of likability will hurt her just as much as the actual facts.[/quote]

This. And countering PR with PR is unlikely to be retaliation in any kind of EEO context. The PR was to support It Ends With Us as much as Baldoni. The troll who was all caps shrieking accusations at how horrible everyone here is - and yes I am getting to a germane point -  also claimed to be living on TikTok and “seeing” this campaign develop. She came to this late. That ignores essential realities about Lively’s press for years and years and years. I’m the woman who wanted to talk intersectional issues and who has known and seen for years that Lively attracts bad press not because of her reproductive system but because she is an unusually aggressive, unusually tone-deaf interviewee for someone in her position. Leighton Meester played the spicy character in Gossip Girl and has opposite press. The cast of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants largely does not have her press problems.

Her likability was the goddamned ground floor for her spurious claims. And large swaths of the population do not like her and are absolutely entitled to feel that way and to vote with their wallets against supporting her hair and drink brands.[/quote]

Someone needs to send Freedman links to Lipstick Alley and Oh No They Didnt, because posters have been talking about how awful Blake Lively is for years, and that is absolutely relevant to the case as you've outlined. [/quote]

People have been chomping at the bit for her downfall for over a decade now. [/quote]

Thank you for posting. I remember this well. That copy with those insipid fashions is racist. Racist. And Lively continues this unabated: she never directly addressed having a plantation wedding with reception facilities on Slave Lane instead of another part of the plantation. She used the tacky ugly fashions of Magnolia Lane, which has a live link TODAY with the white blonde models wearing the clothes in a video titled “On The Plantation” — she wears THOSE clothes AS Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us AND talked up Magnolia Lane in interviews for the film, promoting the line. This is after duh she took over wardrobe from Baldoni and exploded the fashion budget. She chose to outfit a character described insipidly as very young and very beautiful like a dumpy color-blind middle-aged clown and did promo for those very clothes.

There are layers to her bad publicity and as I have firmly believed for years that she is an absolute racist, I do not think people demurring - being very demure - from buying her crap and asking why the character looked fug has one goddamned thing to do with a conspiracy to make her look bad. She did it for free.[/quote]
