[quote=Anonymous][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]

Owens had a good take on this: To paraphrase, these celebs are such ego maniacs and so paranoid they truly can’t grasp the masses simply not liking them and their inability to browbeat and use PR to force the masses to like them. It MUST be a conspiracy, there MUST be people plotting against them. They are freakin’ kooks. Low watt kooks at that. Ryan nor Blake have any higher education.[/quote]

Part of the issue is the incredibly privileged life Blake has led.  From a well off family and a star at a very young age.  Then she marries another star that makes some good investments and becomes a billionaire.  She doesn't seem to be able to see beyond this, and has become accustomed to having her every demand met, no matter how silly.  Same for her husband.  They have no perspective.[/quote]
