[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. Also sexual harassment has to be subjective AND objective so the fact Ange didn’t see an issue with Jamie’s video favors Justin in terms of the reasonable person standard—would a reasonable person find this to be offensive.[/quote]

I don't know that Ange will be seen that way by a jury. I found her testimony weird because she is aware of a bunch of this stuff. Not just Blake's complaints but also Jenny Slate, plus Alex Saks getting upset about Baldoni's behavior. Ange is on set all the time and she herself described the production as a "shitshow" and she knew things were going poorly. But at no point did she think to call up HR, or legal, and describe the situation and say "what's our play here?" As someone who has been in similar roles in my own job, I find that so weird. Especially for someone at Sony which has all that infrastructure in place.

My husband recently went through an extremely minor but annoying conflict with a person junior to him, and it was nowhere near this level of nonsense. And he contacted HR at the first sign of issues and then worked through their process and it was fine, because the whole point of HR is to mitigate risk and conflict. It ensured things didn't escalate. Ange and Jamey Heath come off as very unprofessional and bad at their jobs to me, because they were so dismissive of these MANY issues that were coming up within like days of the film shoot starting and seemed to assume they would resolve themselves. It is dumb to me that Sony had resources to address a problem like this and they were like "nope, seems fine, let's just keep running this movie into the ground." I don't get it.[/quote]
