[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lively was right about Justin. He is porn and sex obsessed and he was trying to turn a movie about DV into a vehicle for his sexual fantasies. He was gross and many of the women on the movie thought so. Jamey Heath enables him and they both have boundary issues. And when they realized people might find this stuff out about them, their egos led them to hire sketchy people like Melissa Nathan, Jed Wallace, and Bryan Freedman to try and destroy Lively's reputation so no one would ever believe her. And they basically got away with it.

I do think Lively lost this case, the 47.1 motion not withstanding (we'll see, I have no faith), and I think that's fundamentally unfair because: she was right.

But life is unfair and 2026 America is not a bastion of truth or justice. I hate it, but I'm not going to pretend it's anything else.[/quote]

Yep. And Lively personally is not very sympathetic so whatever, but the whole thing is just skeevy.[/quote]

PP and yes. Lively is rich and very privileged and can be hard to like. I wasn't a Lively fan before all this and I continue to see her as problematic in a lot of ways. I've never even seen IEWU because I don't really like her as an actress. But she was right about Justin. And I actually have arrived at a point of respect for her because she has toughed it out through all of this when she didn't have to, and could have just run off with her money and put it all behind her. Maybe it's because she's privileged and knew she'd been wronged and wanted justice -- I would never have pursued this as she did because I don't have that kind of money or privilege or, frankly, self esteem and would have just rolled over and walked away. But that's why, in a way, I'm glad it was her. She never backed down and she still isn't. The settlement is disappointing and I really wanted the trial but she's still asserting herself. And again, she's right, so good for her.

One thing about the settlement having no NDA is that I'd like to see a tell all from Blake after all this. A book, a movie, something. Bring on Jenny Slate, Alex Saks, Liz Plank. Tell the truth about what happened in a way that will actually make people listen (because a lawsuit didn't work, people didn't actually read the documents and just ate up whatever narrative Justin's side sold via TikTok and YouTube). I think it could be really interesting, and they could use all the evidence from the lawsuit that is part of the public record to expose people like Jed and Melissa Nathan. Play that freaking audio of Steve Sarowitz. I would pay money for that book or see that movie in a theater. I really would. I'd love to see Blake find a way to win this thing in the court of public opinion, especially because I think what has happened legally has been a real miscarriage of justice (at least thus far).[/quote]

Blake cannot win this in the court of public opinion because the facts aren’t on her side. Have the past two years taught you nothing?[/quote]

The facts are on her side. No one cares about the facts. The last few pages have shown that Justin was 100% pushing to make this DV movie into an R-rated sex fest, over the objections of every major woman involved in the movie. That's what happened! And there is written evidence of this, that you can read. And yet you still don't believe it.

Sometimes, the people with the facts on their side lose. This is one of those times. People HATE women. Women hate women. Jen Abel was right-- people online love to hate women. You hate women. You hate Blake. And all of that overrides the fact that Justin Baldoni is a gross perverted who harassed women. And you just don't care. You will lionize this man, this stupid, not-worth-it man, rather than admit that he mistreated a woman.

You don't care about facts. This is about your feelings.[/quote]
