[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he SHed her and I think he and the others worked together to try and smear her name so that if she went public with allegations, people would be predisposed to distrust her.

And it worked.

I also think they are still doing it.[/quote]

Why would he SH the star of his directorial debut and Ryan Reynolds wife? Post me too era. With cameras and witnesses all around? That doesn't make any sense. [/quote]

PP here. I don't think Baldoni decided to SH Lively. I don't think it was intentional. I think he's weird and has boundary issues and didn't understand that the things he was doing were not okay. I also think that like a lot of actors/directors/celebs (including Blake Lively) that he has narcissistic tendencies and when Lively (and others) started to complain about his and Heath's behavior, they were not really capable of taking responsibility or changing course. I also think Wayfarer has a lot of insular group think because it's a mission-based org where most people belong to the same religious organization. I've worked in an environment like that and it can produce a lot of obliviousness to how other people experience or view their behavior.

But I still think he crossed lines and that the things he did would also have felt harassing to me if I were in Lively's position. I don't think it's the worst example of SH I've heard of -- it's on the mild side and I also think Lively was able to deal with it because she has support and leverage and that if it had just ended with the 17 point list and that Jan. 4 meeting, no one would be suing and everyone would have moved on.

But I think Wayfarer doubled down on their behavior by going after her with TAG last August, and this is what precipitated the lawsuit. I also think that while Baldoni's and Heath's onset behavior was harassing but not poorly intentioned, the retaliation campaign *was* very intentional and they knew exactly what they were doing -- they wanted to discredit Blake and destroy her reputation. It was vindictive.

I know a lot of y'all don't see it that way. That's fine. But it's how I see it.[/quote]
