[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the “she was uncomfortable” argument was really flying with middle/upper class white women. Nobody else was buying it. A woman who bragged about doing blackface and humiliated a foreigner journalist for congratulating her baby bump is not someone who takes shit from anyone and sits there being uncomfortable.

Yep. It’s also why the notes about her well-earned reputation of having all the charm of stepped-on sht is actually relevant. I have known she’s a turd for a long, long time, and I never watched Gossip Girl. I loved Michael K and Dlisted, and Lively’s behavior was widely remarked up and derided. Among POC, she was reputed to be racist based on actual verifiable stuff - the plantation wedding. Preserve. The blackface. Claiming her Sean Penn’s Twin face gave her “LA face with a Compton booty.” And it is germane to today - she is reputed to have some kind of financial interest in the busted-a$$ designer Magnolia Pearl, and she wore the uh we will call it fashion in this movie - after she grabbed the power to style her character. Magnolia Pearl released a branding video called “the plantation” in 2012, where white blonde ugly as hell “models” danced around a dirt field with a plow to market oversized frilly $700 overalls.

My point is that she already had a horrific rep for a very long time apart from third-rail topics like Ben Affleck, Harvey Weinstein, and Ryan Reynolds/Scarlett Johansson. And this rep existed a decade before Baldoni bought the rights to direct this movie.[/quote]

This is all a good example of why Lively is a pretty crappy person and very unlikeable. I agree.

It is not even remotely germane to the legal question of whether she was, in fact, "uncomfortable" on the set of this movie with Baldoni. Like not even a little bit relevant.[/quote]

DP, I think it's somewhat relevant in that there has to be some kind of standard in terms of what is reasonable to expect in terms of what would be generally uncomfortable and what would make Blake, specifically, uncomfortable. There are many examples where Blake freaks out to incredibly benign comments and escalates immediately in an unreasonable manner. Hypothetical example, makeup artist says, "nice pedicure! I love pink for summer." Blake has the type of personality to take this comment and warp it to, "OMG, what a sick person, commenting on my body. Who gave this disgusting foot fetishist the right?! I am appalled and insulted and uncomfortable!"

Sure, Blake has a right to feel that way and maybe she does, but I personally am not going to call for the makeup artist to be tarred and feathered because they made that comment and Blake has a pretty batshit read of it. Her crappy personality includes consistently having these type of takes with others, so I find her to be a very unreliable narrator in terms of what she deems uncomfortable with Baldoni.
