[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't seem that hard to understand, most of Slate's deposition is unsealed: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.1230.12.pdf

It sounds like she was bothered both by Justin's inappropriate comments (calling her and Blake "sexy" in a way she felt crossed a line, saying he could say that because his wife was on set) as well as the general disorganization and lack of professionalism on set. It sounds like it was an unpleasant and poorly run set and that she blamed the director and producer for that, and that it was compounded by behavior she found unnecessarily sexualized and inappropriate.

She also talks about Justin's behavior when she would call him out on the inappropriate behavior. She describes him as getting "huffy" and walking away, and in texts she describes it as "fragility" -- like he couldn't handle a woman saying "hey this crossed a line for me."

She also touches on feeling particularly bothered by Justin's behavior because she's seen his TED talk when she signed on to do the movie (apparently set a link by her agent as part of the pitch for the movie) and she found Justin's behavior on set to be at odds with the 'male feminist' persona he presented in his TED talk. Which makes sense if he was getting "huffy" and defensive when she would tell him she didn't like some of his behavior, because the whole point of his TED talk is that men should be "man enough" to listen to women when they talk about their own experiences, and to be willing to re-examine their own behavior. But he was not, he seemed to blame the women for being critical of him and not be open to that kind of feedback at all.

So she found Justin and Jamey to be bad at their jobs, sexist/misogynist, and also hypocritical because they explicitly presented themselves to be allies of women in their public statement but her personal experience was different from that.

All of this is in her depo so I don't understand what else there is to get. It seems straightforward.[/quote]

What kind of person is stupid enough to buy that Jenny Slate, whose calling card is crass humor, was offended by the use of the word sexy?  Oh, and only when used by men, ok when Blake used the word.[/quote]

It's believable for her to be a hypocrite  just like Justin with his feminism. She's not the one bringing a sexual harassment case. But I believe she really was offended and that's her genuine opinion. I also think its wild she would get offended at increasing her housing allowance because they referenced mother's. But I believe she did. Actors are self centered.[/quote]

Do people really not understand the difference between a professional persona that she controls versus a director speaking inappropriately to her on set?[/quote]

Apparently not.[/quote]

She was, by her own admission, telling sexual explicit jokes on this particular set.  So, whatever she wants to do fine, Blake can send sexual innuendo to both Justin and Brandon, and Justin’s use of the word sexy is sexual harassment? Best of luck convincing anyone besides a Blake bot of that.[/quote]
