[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blake and Ryan have an odd and disjointed PR strategy. He probably just should’ve showed up with her at court. I know they were supposed to show how she’s so vulnerable and alone, but now it’s being reported that she had her chauffeur fetch her Mahjong set because she

If he wanted to stay out of it, he shouldn’t have made a statement about his anger after the leaked texts. Taylor didn’t. Just let it go. Or if he didn’t want to let it go, he should’ve showed up with her. [/quote]

Someone should have helped her with her wardrobe, she looked so odd.[/quote]

That’s the point exactly. Go back to the movie and ‘her’ wardrobe choices. If I’m not mistaken, fans were turned off by her clothing choices in the movie, etc.

She has a style, and it seems either copy cat and/or frumpy.

I think others alluded to the fact that this is where the backlash began.

But I could be wrong.[/quote]

You’re not wrong and now that we see the documents they’ve proven it. Sony was absolutely freaking out over the fan backlash in May 2023 when they first published photos of Blake on set. higher ups from Sony said she looked bad and the producer from the Sony side, Ange, who was on set every day was trying to calm them down. Later in June, we saw correspondence from her reassuring the president of Sony that they would reshoot a scene after she lost the baby weight. And that one of the scenes where she looked ridiculous in her clothing (the funeral scene) was explained as a plot point. None of this was coming from Wayfarer.

A lot of backlash was coming from the fans. I don’t also think people realize how many people were on Justin’s side by the time the movie actually came out. People who had followed this book and were excited about the movie loved that Colleen hand picked him, there were a bunch of pictures of he and Colleen together, they knew that she had a specifically handpicked him to play Ryle. He had a lot of fans going into this and so it wasn’t just oh that’s weird, the director and costar isn’t at the premier. This is what a lot of people were missing. It generated a lot more backlash than would be typical. And a lot of them rightly blamed Blake.

Another thing that people might not realize is that Brandon and Isabel were on a panel in the summer of 2023 after they had finished their scenes and it was shut down for the strike. The transcript of the panel is included in the court documents.They both gushed over how great Justin was. And yes, people have defended it saying well they were marketing the film, but they went over and beyond what they needed to do talking about how great a director he was,  how comfortable they felt, what a great vibe it was so then that added even more to the confusion when it looked like the whole cast had turned against him.

It doesn’t seem like Blake accounted for that kind of fan loyalty and knowledge when she orchestrated this. [/quote]
