The poster came with the receipts. Julie is a 30 year veteran of Hollywood. She’s worked on some of the most successful movies in the last 30 years, movies starring, jen Aniston, Sandra, Bullock, Will Smith, Paul Rudd, Nicole Kidman and more. Big big budget movies, much bigger than it ends with us and bigger than anything Alex has worked on.

Will be very interesting to see where Alex‘s career goes after this. Did she just not think anyone would read this?

Saks didn't say Bloom wasn't experienced. What she said was that she had most recently been working in TV, which has different demands than a film other than pilots because working as a first AD on an existing TV show allows you to come in to an already working set.

That said, I do think Bloom was ultimately put in an impossible position and her firing was a bit of scapegoating. But not for Blake, for Baldoni. He was a weak leader and the production was sloppy and disorganized. With a stronger leader, Bloom likely would have been fine. But because Baldoni was in way of his head AND was trying to direct and act and produce, and because Heath had very limited experience producing movies (mostly smaller, lower budget movies for Wayfarer and they haven't been at it for long), that puts enormous pressure on the 1st AD to pick up the slack. Saks wanted to get rid of Baldoni and Heath, but of course they couldn't because as Ange Gianetti told her, Wayfarer isn't going to fire themselves off their own movie. So instead they replaced Bloom in the hopes of finding a 1st AD who could help overcome Baldoni's and Heath's major deficiencies. That doesn't really reflect that poorly on Bloom.

If I'm Julie Bloom right now, I'm probably grateful to have been kicked off this production given what a total mess it has become. By being fired early on, it's probably limited her legal bill in association with the lawsuit. Also, it will be abundantly clear to anyone in Hollywood that this was a dysfunctional production for reasons that had nothing to do with Bloom. It's like a badge of honor.

Yea I can read the deposition for myself so I don’t need your moronic interpretation. Alex said she was weak and that yes she didn’t have the experience for a big film. When you can go to Julie Bloom’s page you can see that she was worked on some of the biggest films from the last couple decades, including with A-list actors much much bigger than Z list Blake.

Alex has no credibility after saying that especially looking at her résumé which is much weaker than Julie’s.

And now her words are out there for everyone to see and again I look forward to seeing the impact of this scandal on her career. I have a feeling we won’t be seeing Alex attached to any more films. Maybe Isabel can get her a waitressing job in Brooklyn.

Do Baldoni fans ever admit he has been inappropriate in any way? Is every single woman just lying? That's Lively, Slate, Ferrer, Saks, Hoover, Hall, Ayoub, Plank... they've *all* been bribed by Blake?

Say what?

Jenny Slate accused Justin of sexual harassment? Colleen Hoover? Aside from your fabrication fanfiction, the only one who has ever accused Justin of sexual harassment is Blake Lively.

False. Slate had three issues that she reported to Alex Saks in their lunch meeting: (1) Justin referring to her as sexy while on set, (2) Justin recording a meeting with Slate without telling her beforehand, and (3) Heath making a comment about giving Slate a larger housing allowance for the shoot specifically because he wanted to support a young mother.

Baldoni also testified in his own deposition that Slate was one of the cast/crew members who had expressed discomfort with how "huggie" the set was, and Slate was also one of the the cast/crew who reported witnessing both Baldoni and Heath, on various occasions, joking that they "couldn't even look people in the eye" because of the HR rules from Sony that Alex Saks had requested be followed on set specifically out of concerns about the lack of HR guidance/personnel from Wayfarer for the production.

So... no. Slate reported multiple incidents of unwanted touching, recording without consent, and comments that she felt sexualized her or inappropriately emphasized her status as a woman and mother. And she was the first cast member to report issues with either man, and she was the one who encouraged Blake to report her experiences AND she was the one who told Alex Saks to talk to Blake because at that point Slate know that Blake had similar issues with Justin and Heath.

This is such a joke. The meeting she was referring to was a Zoom meeting. A lot of of those are just automatically recorded. These people have nothing. We are a year out from this lawsuit and they have nothing. Blake is hemorrhaging followers and has no upcoming roles. Three of Ryan’s upcoming films have been killed as well. And no more girl dinners or chiefs games with Tay Tay.

Then point is not whether you personally have a problem with someone recording your Zoom call. We also have no idea what was discussed on that call. The point is that Jenny Slate had a series of negative interactions with Baldoni before Blake even made her first complaint, including feeling it was inappropriate for him to record that call without her advance consent.

Slate's other allegations toward Baldoni involve him calling her sexy on set, and what she described as a "huggie" and overly touchy culture that made her uncomfortable. It's also possible that you would be more sensitive to being recorded by someone who you believed to be boundary violating in other ways.

They definitely do not have "nothing."

It’s so funny how (1) this particular Blake bot is so easy to identify, and (2) she thinks she is convincing anyone with this blather.

Blake made Ryan “mean girled” their way through the set, and everyone understood that they had to be either with them or against them. Against them meant getting fired, ostracized, and/or sued. With them meant getting help securing future roles (or even instant promotions during the filming), free trips, and free pr for future projects. I don’t think Blake will work again in Hollywood other than films financed by Lively/Reynolds

I see. And will evidence of this theory be forthcoming? Where are the emails between Blake and cast members promising them future roles or other benefits, or threatening them with being fired or ostracized? Where are the depositions with people on set reporting that Blake was a "mean girl" or was manipulating anyone or pitting anyone against Baldoni or Heath?

If anything, evidence points to multiple other women raising issues with Baldoni and Heath prior to Blake's own experiences and way before she started complaining. Alex Saks reports being yelled at by Baldoni during Zoom calls in January and February 2023 (with witnesses, plus Baldoni sent an apology email after one of these incidents in which he states that he has been struggling with interrupting and mansplaining -- his words -- women, yes he said specifically he'd been having this problem with women). Then it was actually Jenny Slate who first reported issues with both Baldoni and Heath, to Saks, which led to Saks reporting it all to Ange Gianetti and requesting that Baldoni and Heath be pulled from the project (which Ange said would never happen since it was Wayfarer's project). And then you have Saks suggesting to Baldoni and Heath, on three separate occasions according to her deposition, that they should do a formal investigation into Slate's complaints, which they decline to do.

And only AFTER all that do Blake's complaints from the first few weeks of shooting come to light. And all of this is supported by contemporaneous emails and texts and corroborated in multiple depositions (from not just Saks, Slate, and Gianetti, but also Baldoni and Heath).

In other words, it seems like Blake merely joined a chorus of voices complaining about Baldoni and Heath. It also sounds like Jenny Slate encouraged Blake to report her concerns to Alex and to Sony, and that before that, Blake had merely been blowing off steam about her bad experiences with Jenny. So if Jenny was the instigator to getting a more formal complaint filed, how could Blake be the one tricking Jenny into joining her with promises of future roles and promotion?

Actually, we haven’t seen any of Blakes emails and texts aside from the very few that she cherry picked very early on. We haven’t seen any of her deposition either. Those are going be forthcoming around Christmas. Looking forward to it.

Oh, and I wonder why she asked Taylor to delete all of their texts?
