[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lively's cut was the winner, for a reason, and studio execs gushed to her about the success of the film. Do you think any of this helps Baldoni, who has zero projects now in the works per imdb? Studio execs wanted to muzzle him from doing press promo, not because of Lively but because of his tendency to say inappropriate and off-putting things. They had to cut the tape of one of his interviews.

From People:
Justin Baldoni was labeled a "moron" by a studio executive over remarks he allegedly made in an interview promoting It Ends With Us.

An alleged email sent by Danni Maggin, a senior marketing executive at Sony Pictures Entertainment, on Aug. 5, 2024, shows the marketing team took issue with Baldoni's remarks in one interview.

"... Justin is basically alluding to 'raping' Atlas out of Lily when talking to the Dallas Morning News. We cut the tape but he is a moron," Maggin wrote in the email, recently unsealed as part of Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle with Baldoni.

Maggin then appeared to refer to Josh Greenstein, then-president of Sony Pictures‘ Motion Group, alleging Greenstein said that director-star Baldoni, 42, "shouldn't do any more press but he has a lot left so maybe we can talk asap."

Perfect example of weird bot behavior.

Her cut was the low scoring one, bozo![/quote]

Her cut was the one execs selected, largely because Colleen felt it captured her vision, and the one that earned hundreds of millions of dollars, bozo! From a business perspective, Baldoni was a pathetic failure. In addition to being cut out of the social network and promotion because no one wanted to hear any more of his inappropriate remarks. He's the one who'll never work again. [/quote]

Meh, Sony likely caused themselves to lose tens of millions of dollars because they ignored normal business practices  and went with the cut markedly less popular with audiences.   Then they lost more potential profit when Blake did stupid things like make the “bring your florals” comment.  That’s what you get when you give in to a celebrity pressure campaign.[/quote]

But somehow not an issue when Baldoni, who played the abuser, was appearing at fun and sexy pop up flower shops...[/quote]

There are a lot of things to argue but I have never understood this one - Baldoni was also out in his floral shirts going to flower shops  and making bouquets and focusing on the florals - same as Blake. We have it in writing that this was the intended marketing strategy so they were both doing it. I don't get why it is held against Blake. All the cast were told to market it this way and to stay away from the DV and focus on the florals and they did. [/quote]

This came up in multiple other depositions with other women involved with the movie, as a reason they refused to do press with Baldoni. Colleen and Isabella definitely mentioned it, I can't remember if Jenny did. They say that when Blake started getting attacked for making light of the DV themes in the movie with the whole "grab your friends, wear your florals" campaign, they were angry that neither Justin nor Wayfarer made any effort to defend Blake or the movie, especially when he had also been part of the exact same marketing campaign and had appeared in the "pop up" floral shop with Colleen and been wearing florals to press appearances like everyone else. Then when Justin started explicitly discussing DV in his interviews, when everyone else involved had been told by Sony NOT to emphasize the DV aspect of the film or make it sound like it was a "DV movie", they felt he was trying to show them ALL up. Not just Blake. Both Colleen and Isabella mentioned this was a major factor in them refusing to appear with Baldoni and Wayfarer at the premiere. The felt personally harmed by Justin's actions.[/quote]

This is some immature bullshit and obviously not true.[/quote]
