[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone keeps quibbling over the finer details, and while I believe Justin even if we dissect the arguments on a microscopic level, what's just as important is I believe Justin when it comes to the big picture.

Justin did not like her, and felt like he had to appease her every step of the way based on his exchanges with others. He just comes off as so resigned and as someone who wants to get the whole thing over with. He's berated by her husband before they even begin filming but then he can't control himself and wants to ogle her? It's just bizarre.[/quote]

Sexual harassment doesn't automatically mean that the perpetrator "wants to ogle" the victim or is trying to have sex with them. Sexual harassment can happen specifically *because* a boss or manager doesn't like someone working for them, and uses things of a sexual or gendered nature to make them feel uncomfortable. It's really about power.

Lively has never alleged that he hit on her. Just that his behavior was harassing. She also alleges that he repeatedly told her that he was speaking with her dead father.

He is creepy.[/quote]

Honestly, how is it that we barely ever talk about Baldoni’s repeated insistence to Lively that he has talked to her dead father?

If my supervisor said this to me, and seemed to be using it as a way to try to bond with or get closer to me, I would have such an ick. Ew ew ew!!![/quote]

You sound like an 8 year old. Blake initiated the spiritual conversations her and Justin had by claiming she felt her late father on the set, guiding her through the emotional scenes, helping her through the challenges of the role. What Baldoni states actually happened is that there was a moment he felt a deep emotional connection to Blake and the project that he spoke outloud asking for her father's blessing for the film. He felt like he was speaking to him and asking for his guidance as they worked on the film. That is quite a different context to blatantly going to someone and saying they spoke with their dead father. [/quote]

Wait. What?

I had never heard this explanation before even though I thought I'd read everything. But I just tried to find this in Baldoni's filings or a news report and can't find anything.

Where are you getting this?[/quote]

Yeah, the reference in the pleadings I (DP) had read about Baldoni's reference to Lively's dead father had something to do with numbers -- Lively said a number having something to do with her father and Baldoni said, wait, what was that number because last night I had a dream and that number was in it, or something like that.
