[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: Baldoni's career, I find him to be creepy and a jerk but in the context of Hollywood, I don't think what he did was *that* terrible.

The irony though is HE is the one who built his persona around this feminism crap. He's the one who said he would be man enough to listen to women when they call him out, but instead he gets huffy when they don't want to hug, or jokes "I must have missed the HR training" when he's told they don't want to be called sexy, and opens up with incredibly weird comments about consent in his personal sex life. That's 100% on him. He was the one who made that important. Wayfarer is the one that marketed itself as having a higher calling, making movies for the greater good... and then you have Baldoni and Heath running around like asses (which multiple people confirm) and Sarowitz saying he wants to destroy people, as Israel did to Hamas. Baldoni wanting to use DV as the marketing plan to make himself look good, even discussing lifting "survivor content" from his DMs. This is all a problem they created, they are hypocrites, and it came out. It's not unlike the argument that Lively has always been a bully and difficult and it just came out, "organically."

I don't see what is sympathetic about the Wayfarer guys, they don't practice what they preach, and they are the ones who promoted themselves as being better than everybody else. I would not be surprised at all to hear Directors making comments about actresses being sexy (and much, much worse) or Hollywood financiers comparing themself to Israel against Hamas... but they marketed themselves as not being the typical Hollywood studio. They obviously believed that this stuff about Baldoni and Heath coming out would hurt their reputation (IMO, it's why they hired Wallace) because they chose to build their reputation on this higher calling. It's what makes them so distasteful to me.[/quote]

Oh please. They were making a crappy Colleen Hoover book into a movie. If you believed they’re trying to answer to a higher calling through moviemaking that’s on you. Everything I know everybody in this industry is total BS and branding.

I just don’t think anything he did on that side went against feminism. Give me a break. It’s a Hollywood set and all these people are terrible.[/quote]

I didn't believe anything about them before the case. Never heard of them except for Baldoni being in Jane the Virgin. Hearing he was a "male feminist" immediately made me suspicious.[/quote]

That’s fine, but it’s troubling that you think this amount of bullying and power-play was deserved by anyone. so he claims he was a feminist and it out he’s not that much of a feminist. Though it’s interesting that Liz Plank who has made her whole platform being a feminist was fooled by it for three years and 124 podcast episodes wouldn’t you say? He must’ve had something to say for her to work with him like that.

Either way, he didn’t deserve to have his life destroyed and people calling him a predator. Ryan texting influential people in the industry that he should be in jail? Blake lying about what happened on set.

I just don’t get how anyone can justify this. He may not be a good guy, but it really seems like harassment and defamation on Blake and Ryan’s part. [/quote]
