[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the actresses banded together and refused to do any promotion with Boldoni. No way they'd all want professional drama without there being any 'there' there. Their depositions will in all likelihood demonstrate consistency re: the SH claims. It's not just Blake, and not just Jenny.  [/quote]

The deposition excerpts  have been released and this is not the case at all.  Do you even read the documents?  For that matter, follow the arguments being made on this thread?[/quote]

«In court documents, obtained by TMZ, text messages sent by one of the film's stars, Jenny Slate, show she didn't want to do anything with Justin or his "truly unprofessional" business partner Jamey Heath back in 2023 -- the year the film began production.

Slate wrote, "This has really been a disturbing shoot, and I'm one of many who feel this way, and Blake and I have both complained directly to Ange [production executive Andrea Giannetti] at Sony (and they agree w us btw). Justin is truly a false ally and I'm unwilling to do anything that promotes the image that he's crafting as a 'male feminist' ... like ... honestly I have no words to describe what a fraud he is."

She continued ... "I honestly have never ever encountered anything like this dude. He's the biggest clown and the most intense narcissist."

Later in a deposition, Slate is quoted as saying, "Justin and Jamey freak me out." According to the deposition transcript, Slate was concerned about how much "crap" Lively had to take from Justin and Jamey, and accused the two men of telling "weird lies."

Additionally, an email sent from "It Ends With Us" author Colleen Hoover to Sony on July 14, 2024, shows that she was reluctant to show up at the premiere.

She wrote, "Am I going to be comfortable if Justin is there? No, things are beyond uncomfortable at this point."

Actress Isabela Ferrer was asked in a deposition about filming an intimate scene involving two teenagers, after which she says Baldoni commented on it being "hot" ... Ferrer said "It didn't feel appropriate in a work environment," and didn't feel like a note about her acting, saying it was out of place and "personal."

Are there any actresses backing up Boldoni on this production? Sure doesn't sound like it.[/quote]

The Isabel stuff seems less relevant to me, especially after that glowing text she sent about how safe and comfortable she felt, the video of her trying to hug him after the scene and him stepping back and high-fiving her instead because he clearly was trying to cross every T and dot that every i at that point. And the fact that Blake did promise her something in the PGA letter. So I’m not saying I don’t believe her but these allegations don’t seem particularly salacious - We know Isabella and Alex were cast because they are attractive and appealing, and you wanted the audience to feel a certain way. They had a sexy scene for a reason, come on. The director was clearly trying to illicit that so commenting that he got what he wanted does not seem strange or out of place.

There could be something with the Jenny  stuff but it’s just also vague. She clearly hated the guy, but why. I love how she’s like “I have no words”, but Jenny could maybe you put some words together and tell us why they were so creepy? are you going on vibes? honestly I really like Jenny but it’s all these months out and we’re just getting these really really vague statements - like what did they do?

You get really vague statements when there is nothing specific to talk about, except apparently amidst her telling sexually explicit jokes, she found time to be upset about his use of the word sexy.[/quote]

If a co-worked called me sexy, especially if he was in a position of authority over me (producer/director) I'd be in our HR office in 2 minutes flat. That is unacceptable and you know it.[/quote]

But what if you are in a movie that was supposed to be sexy to literally sell tickets? And Sony execs were telling you you needed to bring the heat? And it needed to be hotter? And People‘s wardrobe needed to be sexier? Would it bother you so much then? Context matters here.

There was pressure on production to and Blake and others were game. Blake sent a text to Justin saying she was changing part of her wardrobe because she wanted it to be sexier so it was common place on the set to talk like that.[/quote]

Context matters. There is a huge difference between saying a particular scene is supposed to come across as sexy to the audience and saying someone on set is sexy (outside of describing a scene or character). [/quote]

There is a difference, and Blake is on record as not seeing the difference. Remember her initial allegations Baldoni told her she smelled good only to see the dancing video where he clearly said "it smells good" referring to the tanning lotion?[/quote]
