[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m watching the abc Hulu special because why not - I didn’t know BL did a film with Woody Allen.  I just can’t reconcile that someone who would work with WA truly believes her own complaints.[/quote]

That's the movie she was promoting with Parker Posey when she did that interview where the journalist compliments her "baby bump" and then Lively rips into her and barely participates for the rest of the interview.

I remember when that video circulated last year (perhaps because of Baldoni's astroturfing efforts? it's all so ridiculous at this point) that aspect of it was especially annoying to me. Here's Lively promoting a movie directed by a guy who is known to be a toxic misogynist and maybe-pedophile (whether you believe the pedophile accusations or not, there is zero question as to whether Allen is a total sleezebag when it comes to women), and yet she's offended by a female journalist saying something kind and complimentary about a pregnancy that Lively had publicly announced. It was really infuriating.[/quote]

There is zero evidence of astroturfing. I wish you’d stop casually lying and presenting fake facts.[/quote]

There is absolutely evidence of astroturfing. According to their own texts, Baldoni's crisis management team engaged Jed Wallace to help shift the online narrative around Lively (Wallace is known for astroturfing like this) and they later credit him, specifically, with a shift in the online narrative against Lively.

I don't like Lively but that doesn't mean Baldoni didn't also engage in very sketchy and unpleasant behaviors, sorry.[/quote]

No. Words mean things, so sorry. There is evidence that Wallace was retained, and there is evidence that over time, BookTok (I know) and celebrity-gossip sites were zoned in on how bad the promotional tour for this film was. There is no evidence that Lively’s already for-sht reputation plummeted again after Wayferer retained the PR firm due to actions of the firm. Her team of mid lawyers are asking everyone to draw an inference in lieu of anything like proof.[/quote]
