[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s insane that there are now thousands of documents out and Baldoni really doesn’t look that bad. I was expecting so much worse but he really hasn’t had embarrassing texts. Seems like he was literally just trying to get through this movie.

Blake and Ryan on the other hand look like unhinged giant a-holes who made taking over this movie their whole personality, to the point where they are no longer talking to the godmother of their daughters and they’ve embarrassed Sony and WME executives and a-listers like Matt and Ben.

I think you just aren't willing to open up your eyes to what looks bad for him. I think Blake and Ryan look terrible after reading their emails and texts, but Justin also seems awful. The issue is that his texts and emails aren't aggressive like Blake and Ryan. Instead he just lies and plays the victim and is obsequious and fake all the time. I'd actually rather deal with someone aggressive and arrogant like Blake or Ryan. Seriously. If you look at Justin's emails and texts in isolation, it's like "aw, poor guy." When you look at them altogether and read his deposition, I'm like "dude, you're an a$$hole." [/quote]

I have no doubt that Justin is insufferable, but my point was this latest round has been really bad for Blake and Ryan. Even the media that are usually friendly to them cannot resist having dirt on Taylor Swift and Taylor is not coming off great. I’m a swift fan and I get the defense that she was not really sure what was going on and believing her friend and blah blah blah but she looks like she was scheming and that she lied to the public when she said she wasn’t involved. She was pretty intimately involved.

And I always wondered why in her public statement from last year when she said she had nothing to do with this, and she didn’t even see the movie until several weeks after it was released, why she said that. Was it just an unnecessary dig at Blake? And now it’s seems clear from the texts that Blake gave her the login to the advanced screen just like Matt and Ben. So I wonder if she was even part of weighing on the final cut. There’s still tons of more documents that have not been released so we shall see.

But yes, my point was I don’t think Justin is a saint, but there were no salacious headlines this round. There’s nuance that people are digging into over on Reddit, but for the general public reading mainstream media its all Blake and Ryan because it’s just too good that they can involve Taylor, matt and Ben and also Ryan insulting executives at WME and Sony.

But neither Ryan or Taylor are on trial here, and the stuff people are mad about isn't even relevant to the case. People on reddit getting mad that Taylor's public statement about her involvement in the movie was sort of (but not entirely) misleading will have zero bearing on the outcome of this case.

Most of those emails and texts wouldn't be admissible in court anyway. A lot of the stuff people are mad about is just noise.

[/b]On the actual legally relevant aspects of the case, I think plenty has come out that makes Justin look bad. The depositions of key people, including Justin, Jenny Slate, Jamey Heath, Alex Sachs, the intimacy coordinator, Isabella, Ange Giannetti, and Blake all make Justin sound bad at his job, arrogant, unable to take responsibility for problems, childish, and sometimes lazy.[b]

No major studio is ever hiring Justin to direct a movie again, I can say that. Even if he's exonerated on the SH stuff. Just based explicitly on what a bad director/leader he appears to have been on this movie. I think it's very damaging to his professional reputation.[/quote]

I don’t think you know what “legally relevant” means [/quote]
