[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a psychologist it’s been fascinating to watch everyone try to spin the settlement in the way they want it to go. I don’t really care about any of these people, but this was an extremely frivolous lawsuit that backfired. Of course this would be the final outcome. Now everyone is trying to save face- even the internet randos.

Finally, most celebs in Hollywood are raging narcissists. If you’re caping for them, please do some deep soul searching and read up on parasocial relationships.[/quote]

I see it a little differently. We are living in a time when there’s a lot of injustice in the world - no matter what side of the political aisle you are on, people feel like their side is getting screwed. It seems like many people were so invested in this case because it was just so patently unfair.

Blake was obsessed with her reputation tanking and the bad press. She couldn’t let go or see that it would pass. What will stand out to me the most from all of this is Taylor’s text to her in early December 2024 saying essentially you need to let this go and step back from this. I miss my friend. then how they thought it was all going to be over once the times article came out. Never seen a faster uncanceling. But no, it didn’t go away did it? Justin had the opportunity to get his story out. People are going to double down and believe whatever side they want to believe but there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle and we have seen a side of Ryan and Blake that they did not want to see. They embarrassed a lot of people with the documents that came out.

They aren’t going away, but they’re public persona has definitely changed, locking down comments and not engaging with fans, no more of the fun social media banter, and Ryan won’t be carrying a huge franchise again.[/quote]

I don't think her cause was important enough to embarrass her friends with the publication of their private messages.  I don't know how one comes back from that, friendship-wise.[/quote]

I truly can’t believe how many personal text messages and emails we were privy to. It’s just such a rare glimpse into that world. The Sony executives trashing her, the texts between her and Taylor, Matt Damon lol.

At the end of the day, no one had messages that were career ruining (beyond Blake and Ryan just cause they came off obsessive and unhinged) but I can’t imagine what a violation it must’ve felt like to know that your text messages are out and you are a big celebrity. Taylor’s image is so, so curated. That’s why I don’t think they’ll ever come back from this friendship wise.

What I don’t understand and what I truly hope comes out eventually is the backstory on what they were advised. Surely their lawyers and PR team must have said as much as you want tag and Abel and whoever’s communications to come out showing their PR strategy, yours are going to come out as well. And your friends are going to come out as well.

I just don’t get.

What’s all so fascinating is the whole celebrity “I don’t go on the Internet! I don’t know how many followers I have! I’m barely online!” They’re all obsessed with what people are saying and thinking about them. It sounds so exhausting. I won’t say I was naïve before, because I basically knew this, but to have it all out in front of you repeatedly for months and months was really jarring.

Celebs, they really are as petty and insecure as us commoners- maybe even more so. Crazy crazy celeb scandal. I think it’ll be a while before we get another one this big.[/quote]

Agree with all of this. It’s nothing we didn’t already know, but to see the proof is still astonishing. It’s not just BL and RR who look bad. It’s Taylor, Matt Damon, Colleen Hoover etc etc etc etc etc. Hollywood is so gross. [/quote]

If you were "astonished" to find out celebrities were fake, vapid, and shallow, I don't know what to tell you. Wherever did you even get that idea? [/quote].

Can you read? I said it’s nothing we didn’t already know. [/quote]

Yeah you had lots and lots of redundant paragraphs saying the same thing. But again, what did you actually expect? You said it yoursel. You were naive. Maybe so deeper thought and introspection is warranted.[/quote]

You are talking to more than one person. I’m the poster you called redundant and then there’s someone who responded to me. Two different people.

But either way, we both said we knew this, but it was jarring to have it unfold in front of us over several months. [/quote]

It's extremely weird to be surprised that celebs are fake. Almost as weird as waking up one day and deciding you're going to leave Blake Lively a nasty message telling her what you really think of her. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone is surprised about celebs being fake, nor are they saying they are: What is surprising is that we got to see the evidence first hand. [/quote]

Exactly. The other posters couldn’t be more clear about this. We knew this is what it is like, but we got a rare glimpse behind the curtain that we often don’t get to see.[/quote]
