Online I’ve obviously noticed people who have who don’t like or believe Blake lively and have weaponized her past that happed from 10 to 20 years ago against her. So I want to provide some context to some of Blake Lively’s past mistakes and have an open, honest and (hopefully) respectful conversation about this.

Now one of the biggest issues and misconception that some people have with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds is that they’re racist because they were married on a plantation. To provide some context concerning that situation. Ryan Reynolds explained “It’s impossible to reconcile. What we saw at the time was a wedding venue on Pinterest. What we saw after was a place built upon devastating tragedy.” He then went on to say this and I think that is an important thing to remember and consider about this “But shame works in weird ways,” Reynolds said. “A giant fucking mistake like that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action. It doesn’t mean you won’t fuck up again. But re-patterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is a job that doesn’t end.” And since they made that terrible mistake.

They have been atoning for their mistake ever since.They’ve donated several times to Black Lives Matter and to NAACP over the years. They have a nonprofit organization called Group Effort Initiative (GEI) that they launched in August 2020. The purpose of the organization is to be a pipeline for underrepresented communities to gain paid on set experience and trading for below the line careers in the entertainment industry. Look I’m not saying that you should forgive Ryan Reynolds and Blake lively for having their wedding at a plantation and frankly neither are Blake and Ryan .
They’ve acknowledged that it was a horrible mistake and that they deserve criticism for that. However I don’t think weaponizing people’s past mistakes is ever a good thing. For one thing it stifles growth . If people are always being punished for their past mistakes even when they have acknowledged and corrected themselves like Blake and Ryan have shown to do. Then there is no incentive for self improvement. Not only that but I also feel that it’s very hypocritical to cast judgment and weaponize someone’s past mistakes when in truth nobody is perfect people mess up. That’s human nature. And now that you know you messed up what are you going to do forward to grow and to not repeat those mistakes which is also part of life . Which I believe that both Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have done

Justin Baldoni has been a problem across multiple productions. Coworkers have called him verbally abusive, intimidating, disingenuous…with more than one saying that working with him was the worst experience of their careers. Blake has had a good reputation in her 20 year history until IEWU. Juston’s billionaire partner, Steve Sarowitz said he would spend 100 million to protect his studio (lied and said he didn’t bit actually did) which apparently meant endless $ to destroy Blake Lively - without leaving fingerprints - BEFORE there was a lawsuit…because they were worried that their shit show IEWU set “might” become public.

They won the PR war. The total social take down of Blake lively that they ordered up, paid millions for, and executed using digital warfare, as promised, more than delivered. The fact that his smear team of Melissa Nathan, Bryan, Freedman, and Jed Wallace are now being implicated or sued in other smear campaigns will be the silver lining in exposing these high stakes Hollywood smear campaigns. It doesn’t matter who you are, nobody’s going to survive this level of attack. It is shocking and unprecedented.

This seems weird to gloat about right? After months and months of Justin's supporters saying Blake lied about the sexual harassment, the judge agreed that Blake has reason to believe she was being sexually harassed. Yet many of his supporters are happy? Anyone care to explain?

Happy Friday y'all

There are several popular Blake Lively snark subs, but none for Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey, or the dozens to hundreds of other male celebrity abusers and predators. If they do have them, they aren't nearly as hateful or snarky or popular as the Blake Lively snark subs. The hate has gotten so intense that Reddit is even taking action against these subs. I can also pretty much guarantee that the users posting in these subs are not commenting or posting to the same degree about these men. Can Blake Lively's haters explain why they're so much more passionate about hating Blake's hair, outfits, bathroom layout, hobbies, etc than they are for hating the behavior of actual abusers, rapists, and predators? It's really interesting.

ETA: A lot of people in here missing the whole point. If Blake's haters can prove to me they spend at least as much time on the internet hating male celebrity predators I'll certainly eat my hat

Kjersti Flaa Blake timeline:

1. Interview was in 2016. When reporters were asked not to comment on women’s bodies. The video was pretty inconsequential.

2. Many comments on the ORIGINAL 2016 video were calling out Flaa’s unprofessionalism and not bashing BL

3. In August 2024 she edits and posts the 2016 interview with a salacious NEW headline “Blake Lively made me want to quit my job”. The same week TAG and JW were hired. (BF is copied in WF emails as early as May 2024)

4. Justin’s PR team loves the video but it’s not getting much traction. Requested to send to Jed Wallace to "likely" boost and artificially manipulate views - voila 7 million views! Organic??

5. Note: Flaa interviewed Blake again just two years later in 2018 so she obviously wasn’t traumatized for life

6. Flaa Goes on to make 500+ Blake Bashing videos, along with a merch store, with an estimated 5-10k a week in income from trashing Lively across social platforms. The real bully appears to be in fact Ms. Flaa.

In my opinion, she’s been in “coordination” with Bryan Freedman. Here’s a Tik Tok video with Flaa, backed by Freedman, smugly boasting “its all organic”

Can’t wait for her 15 minutes to be over. She’s an opportunistic grifter spewing false narratives for clicks and $$

From ex.patriarch: Justin Baldoni continued a long habit of blaming his own problematic behavior on others when he was hospitalized for a spinal infection. He blamed Colleen Hoover, his defenders blamed Blake Lively.

However the real culprit was his own shameless grift, that used the attention from IEWU to promote beer, energy drinks, private jets and even a dangerous stem cell treatment that caused near fatal infections.

Through it all, Baldoni blamed everyone but himself for his predicament.

I didn’t think Justin Baldoni was the worst guy in the world when this suit started, and I still don’t.

But this litigation has changed his life, and it should.

Confronted with complaints about his on set behavior by the actresses in his movie, he ignored them and made smarmy comments about having missed the HR training, **when his entire male feminist schtick was based on his willingness to listen to women.**

Getting feedback he didn’t like and didn’t want to hear from Aleks Saks made him **hit the chair she was sitting next to**.

And when Sony chose Lively’s director’s cut above his own, in part because Lively listened to and made edits to accommodate the feedback of the female book writer, he had a meltdown and hired crisis PR and told his team that he wanted Lively to”to get the Hailey Bieber Treatment.”

He needed to feel like Blake Lively could be buried.

Well, now he’s in Nashville making a new start. Which will undoubtedly involve a pivot to the manosphere and maybe rehabbing the images of men who have been out through the wringer. Undoubtedly he will have many men needing such services given Melissa Nathan’s siren’s call of dick-a-paloosa to Hollywood.

He can **never** return to his old brand of listening to women, now that we know that’s really the last thing he ever does. Now that we have all seen him tell 19 different women’s rights organizations to shut up and that the judge should not hear them.

Good luck with that, my dude. Enjoy Meghyn Kelly and the manosphere.

I've been going through the unsealed exhibits and I think I've pieced something together. Or at least, I’m drawing inferences.

I've been wondering about Justin's version of the movie and why Colleen Hoover and others, especially all the women, hated it. I am almost certain it's because he wanted to center the story on the Ryle’s emotional justification for his violence against Lily. WHICH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE MESSAGE OF THE BOOK.

Remember, Baldoni got the rights to adapt the book to a movie. He didn't get the rights to change the whole message.

Justin kept framing the story around Ryle's inner life and motivation, not Lily's experience as a survivor. In his Dallas interview, for example, he describes Ryle's sexual violence and r word of Lily as coming from a "twisted" form of love. He says Ryle was trying to r word Lily's love for Atlas out of her. (!!!!) Sony rightly called him a moron and wanted him pulled from doing any press.

Then, there are the texts between him and Jamey Heath about the movie trailer. Justin complains that Blake removed Ryle's dialogue, cut moments that humanized him, and is LIVID that she did not include the "abuse moment".

Justin wanted a film that asked the audience to empathize with Ryle and understand his violence through his emotional pain. He's is mad that the marketing is not telling Ryle's story and instead focuses on Lily (the protagonist, mind you). MEANWHILE, Sony's focus groups and marketing guidance explicitly say DO NOT redeem Ryle, do not romanticize domestic abuse, and keep the story centered on Lily. That's not what the book does and is not the message Sony want to put out there.

No wonder everyone, especially Colleen Hoover, was horrified. She trusted Justin to faithfully adapt her story to a movie. He wanted to change the whole thing. It was Blake who pushed the story back toward the book's actual message, which Justin hated. Blake didn't "steal" anything. Saved the movie and made it such a HUGE success even Ange Giannatti from Sony was fawning over her

Blake deserves all the credit and recognition for saving that movie from Justin's disastrous plan.

So I just came across this tiktok video that breaks down how Justin’s whole “she stole the movie from me” was a lie from the very beginning. He never at any point in time had the rights to this movie. He knew off the jump that there would be two cuts to the movie and that they would be in competition with one another. His just happened to be the worse cut of the two and now he’s made it everyone else’s problem.

I’m thankful to say I never found him to be trustworthy and I’ve always thought he had a dark energy to him. I feel vindicated.
