Right. People keep acting like this set is just like their workplace and forget that these people are acting. Like in the dance scene, her supporters will claim they know they’re acting yet they’re still reacting to it as if it’s a real life situation where Justin is caressing her out of nowhere. There is no reasoning with these people.
Perhaps Blake shouldn’t be an actor. She’d be absolutely shocked at real life interactions, she’d be absolutely traumatized.
I doubt she'll work again unless she can get her husband to cast her, that mich is clear. She has no talent and sounds like a nightmare to work with regardless of the outcome of this legal case. I actually think why she's so hung up on her hair and booze lines, she doesn't have much to fall back on and needs to pivot. Her reputation too beyond, "pretty, affable blonde lady."

This does not make sense. A film set is a real place. Most of the alleged harassment happened outside of scenes they were filming together. You sound like you have no idea what you are talking about.
Lively is alleging "real life harassment."
+1000. What is your answer for them talking to her about their p*rn consumption habits and the guy barging into her trailer demanding to talk to her when she was topless?
She asked for it? That's what acting is?
Pg 60, Blake brought up porn first

"Cavorted?" What are you, a gossip columnist from the 1950s?
NP. They just sound like an educated person with good vocabulary. You probably use words like gonna and wanna in your texts. I’m young, btw. Just also educated.

SOMEBODY was going to be down there acting out the birth scene.
Being told that someone is bringing in their friend to film with you while half nude with a day's notice is something that would bother me. Somebody was going to be down there, but professionalism means distance, and the friend of the guy you are feeling harassed by doesn't infer distance.
He's a professional actor, stop acting like this is some rando pulled from the street.
I agree with PP. Of course people cast friends in small roles, that's common. But it's weird that when Baldoni was looking for a role to give his pal, in a movie filled with small parts in restaurants and bars and shops, he decided to give him the role of "doctor who squats between Lily's legs." That would be kind of a sensitive role. I wouldn't give it to a close friend, it's weird.
OK but then what happened? Blake felt whatever she felt when she was introduced to Justin's actor friend, and then what? The guy showed up to work and behaved professionally? I mean sure, maybe in the privacy of his own mind he was just tickled pink at the prospect of being close to Blake Lively in her underwear, but I have seen no allegations that he behaved at all improperly.
Read the complaint. Lively is alleging that the birth scene was handled unprofessionally and that there were a *series* of actions by Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer that together amount to sexual harassment. You can't treat any of the specific allegations alone -- the idea is that together, the scene was mishandled in a way that was invasive and humiliating for Lively. Here is how it is described in her complaint (I've highlighted key points for people who like to skim/don't want to read long text:
51. On the day of shooting the scene in which Ms. Lively’s character gives birth, Mr. Baldoni and Mr. Heath suddenly pressured Ms. Lively to simulate full nudity, despite no mention of nudity for this scene in the script, her contract, or in previous creative discussions.
Mr. Baldoni insisted to Ms. Lively that women give birth naked, and that his wife had “ripped her clothes off” during labor. He claimed it was “not normal” for women to remain in their hospital gowns while giving birth. Ms. Lively disagreed, but felt forced into a compromise that she would be naked from below the chest down.
52. When the birth scene was filmed, the set was chaotic, crowded, and utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes—such as choregraphing the scene with an intimacy coordinator, having a signed nudity rider, or simply turning off the monitors so the scene was not broadcast to all crew on set (and on their personal phones and iPad). Mr. Heath and Mr. Baldoni also failed to close the set, allowing non-essential crew to pass through while Ms. Lively was mostly nude with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia. Among the non-essential persons present that day was Wayfarer co- Chairman Mr. Sarowitz, who flew in for one of his few set visits. Ms. Lively was not provided with anything to cover herself with between takes until after she had made multiple requests. Ms. Lively became even more alarmed when Mr. Baldoni introduced his “best friend” to play the role of the OBGYN, when ordinarily, a small role of this nature would be filled by a local actor. Ms. Lively felt that the selection of Mr. Baldoni’s friend for this intimate role, in which the actor’s face and hands were in close proximity to her nearly nude genitalia for a birth scene, was invasive and humiliating.
53. To add insult to injury, Mr. Heath approached Ms. Lively and her assistant on set and started playing a video of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart. Ms. Lively thought he was showing her pornography and stopped him. Mr. Heath explained that the video was his wife giving birth. Ms. Lively was alarmed and asked Mr. Heath if his wife knew he was sharing the video, to which he replied “She isn’t weird about this stuff,” as if Ms. Lively was weird for not welcoming it. Ms. Lively and her assistant excused themselves, stunned that Mr. Heath had shown them a nude video.

I have a basic question I haven't seen answered, but I may have. missed it in all these pages.
Did JB REJECT her request for an intimacy coordinator? Did she ask for one from the beginning? if not, why not?
She had a lot of power on this movie.

What confuses me about Blake’s strategy is I can buy she felt uncomfortable at some points. But…why did she lie so blatantly at points? Like claiming the lift scene wasn’t in the movie? She had to have know the truth about the would come out. It’s sick. I don’t understand that.

Anyone care to look at the names of the people who posted negative comments on Jenny Slate's social media and guess whether they are actually real people or maybe instead part of an orchestrated social media campaign? Names like: malibu23658, koryplz, nancyr_78, another from malibu23658, mishy94m, ktxgg, moonlightgirl.82, getse_mora, missleoscotthq, shanecombs, koala1879, etc. Maybe some of these are real, but I don't think this is how most people really post on someone else's Instagram "Jenny it's not too late to fiercely come out against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds unless you're happy with how you ended your career."
Maybe I'm just an old.
Sony already said there was no such complaint. It’s fiction like the rest of Blake’s complaint.
