[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could also be writer/director Claire Ayoub, who made the film Empire Waist with Wayfarer as producer. The movie was actually filmed in 2021, so not in conflict with IEWU and more likely that Baldoni might have been dropping by the set. It didn't premiere in the US until September 2024 and I don't think it had an in-person premiere, just a streaming release. The movie co-stars Rainn Wilson, longtime Baldoni pal and fellow member of his church.

Or it could be Roshan Sethi, director of A Nice Indian Boy, or Zarna Gang, one of the costars who is also a well-established standup and podcasters and may have a decent amount of sway on the set. Jamey Heath and others from Wayfarer attended the premiere in March of 2024 (at SXSW) but Baldoni did not. Production on this one would have conflicted with IEWU though so less likely Baldoni could have been on set.[/quote]

This is my post from weeks ago speculating the "mystery declarant" could be Claire Ayoub. I was right! I'm a little surprised because I'd been persuaded by people saying they were unlikely to be a woman since the declaration didn't emphasize that. But the timing and Ayoub's position in the production made so much more sense than anyone else people were suggesting.[/quote]

I would like to give you your flowers for this, except that on this movie flowers has become something of a loaded term lol.  Anyway, kudos to you on the sleuthing -- very impressive!  You are like the only person that ever mentioned Ayoub's name in connection with this declaration as a guess![/quote]

Ayoub was one of a small list of people it could have been -- it was very obviously a director or person at a similar level on a relatively recent Wayfarer production. So Ayoub, Sethi, Scarlett Johansson, someone involve with Will & Harper... really only a handful of options because Wayfarer has not made that many movies. And really the timing didn't make sense for most of these because Baldoni would not have been able to be on set for most of these movies due to the nature of filming (Will & Harper was a documentary about a road trip) or the filming conflicted with IEWU.

The people speculating that it was Ari Emmanuel, Liz Plank, Ryan Reynolds, etc., were all engaged in wishful thinking and clearly not really reading the declaration. Or handwaving the ways these people didn't fit with "whatever, Blake lies."

There just seems to be an extremely loose relationship between many people watching this case and logic or reasoning. [/quote]

Baldoni supporters saying it was Reynolds were the craziest, to me.  No logic whatsoever.  In the quote, he is referring to Lively and Reynolds.  THEY were the two dead bodies.  So if he was talking to Reynolds at the time, he wouldn't say, "There will be two dead bodies. ... They better not test me."  [or whatever language he used -- but it was "they" not "you"]

The Baldoni supporters claim to be armchair detectives etc but some of them are very dense.  [/quote]

And the way they have gone after Ayoub, very fine upstanding people. So much support for other women. Bur supposedly it's all "organic". Sure! When their case goes awry they come after the "bots". So predictable.[/quote]

I haven’t seen anyone on the thread come after her. It’s more just that the story seems inconsequential. Baldoni still does not have a history of sexual harassment and for us to be a year in and all we are seeing is this is not going to help Blake. [/quote]

Oh, "in this thread"? So are you denying that anyone is coming after Ayoub anywhere? Don't play dumb. Baldoni is cooked but keep deflecting and attacking all the women who hated working for him. How much is he paying you to be a sycophant?[/quote]
