I’m so sorry but “São Paulo” sounds like a Madame X outtake 💀

This man does not need his own thread on LB 😭

Mind you this case is about sexual harassment and not who has the "best vibes" or gives the best interviews

Well then by the same logic there are undertones of what @Rorman Nockwell said in some of these opinions too Again, if I’m proven wrong I’m proven wrong—but I see no real reason for Blake Lively to lie and make up these claims and draw all this negative attention to herself. In this particular case, I don’t think believing Lively is simplistic. In fact, I’d argue she has much more to lose than Baldoni, and at this point I give her the benefit of the doubt.

What Creykhead said was crazy. No one ever, anywhere in this thread, said “women good, men bad” except for him.

This is the creepiest fucking thing I’ve ever heard lmao. How does a 6 minute long voice memo in a sultry voice, with numerous apologies, prove that Blake wasn’t sexually harassed by this man?

There is nothing in Baldoni’s case that concretely refutes sexual harassment in the way that Blake described. It’s just designed to make Blake look like a cringey and imperfect victim. Like @jealous girl (tags don’t work) said, I don’t mind being proven wrong in the end, but as of right now, I see no reason to not trust Blake’s accounting of the events.

what? 😭😭💀

State rights are a double edged sword. They put pressure on the nation and build momentum for social causes. A classic example would be Gay Marriage, the continuous legalization at the state level built enough momentum to have it accepted as a federal law—and I’m not certain that momentum would’ve been built a federal level. Additionally, state rights are important bc the US is so large. Nevada has very different needs from Vermont, and trying to have one governing body fit both would not work. What I think we can all agree, however, that healthcare doesn’t need to be a states’ issue bc women all over the US have the exact same needs when it comes to their health. I also think the GOP misjudged their abortion stance. Abortion doesn’t need to be a wedge issue, if it were put to a national vote, most polling suggests that 2/3rds of the US would vote to legalize abortion in most cases. (https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/). I think it’s silly to wave a hand to all states right and say “bad”, but I think we can agree that some things are needlessly given to the states when they affect everyone just the same.

Can you please correct the thread title to “Baldoni” and maybe add a quick link to a source/summary of the case to the OP so users can quickly get caught up ? https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-lawsuit-court-documents-text-messages-b2686766.html (^ I’ve not read through this in detail, so if you find a better source don’t feel like you have to use this)

I noticed that, I guess it’s only 3 sides (similar to Florence’s Dance Fever) with 5 tracks on each side.

Strongest “debut” album of the century

March 7? Didn’t she previously confirm February? Branding/creatives look FANTASTIC (although I think the standard cover looks better than the exclusive). Surprised that Disease is the opener. Her lips though

I’m in my feels listening to “I Might Say Something Stupid” with The 1975 & Jon Hopkins and suddenly the next song plays and that little demon twink goes “Troyeee baby” 👹👹👹

Baldoni's lawyer has no right releasing any "evidence" to the public via TMZ/tabloids/podcasts--which could prejudice a jury should this case go forward. Lively's team has only shared everything that's publicly been filed within the lawsuit, Baldoni's team is trying to turn this into some public hearing by releasing videos/footage directly to the media and not the court.

This is one of the most absurd and stupidest things since Depp vs. Heard in that idiotic, public kangaroo court. Justin Baldoni seems like a slimy, sleazy human being and I question anyone who openly supports him--they are either misogynists or on his pay roll. It seems like Blake Lively's two biggest sins are: Being kinda cringey ("Like Kahleisi, I too have dragons [Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds]"; "grab your flowers, grab your girls"). That's literally how every theatre kid ever talks IRL. Also why are we acting like a Colleen Hoover book is some serious introspection on DV? It's not, this is a cheap book with a cheap plot; acting like Blake needed to be in mourning the entire time she promoed it is ridiculous (plus the DV thing is technically meant to be a "plot twist" that's not initially apparent to viewers) Asking to not have to needlessly interact with her (for legal reasons, alleged) abuser. Having Ryan Reynolds there, and distancing herself from Justin are normal behaviours given the circumstances. Neither of these things is in any way proportionate to the hate she has been receiving. I really hope Blake Lively comes out victorious, because Baldoni's tactics are beyond disgusting and should have no place in a serious court.

This drought is nothing compared to the wait between Red TV and Midnights. Almost a full year of nothing from Taylor except a weird Oscars campaign for ATW Short Film 💀

Is this one also limited?

It’s because Speak Now TV and Fearless TV were vocal improvements over the original recordings. Red and 1989 OG already had her mature vocals, so the rerecordings weren’t “improvements” but just different.

Current ranking now that TTPD is 9 months old: 1. TTPD 2. 1989 3. Red 4. Midnights 5. Lover 6. folklore 7. Debut 8. evermore 9. Speak Now 10. Reputation 11. Fearless

Ariana Grande getting a nom over Margaret? Ariana was good, but her performance wasn’t anywhere near as good as Margaret’s

That was introduced on the 3rd of Jan. It’s failed to move beyond the judiciary committee so far.

Trump mishandled the COVID economy, but he didn't singlehandedly tank it due to dumb deregulations like Bush did. I can, perhaps, agree that Bush had better intentions than Trump, but Bush would have laughed in the Paris Accord's face as well, he also nominated judges who overturned abortion (AFAIK Trump has never stated he wants to criminalize abortion? IDK where that is from, he most recently said he would not sign a federal abortion ban, if you believe him), defunded public health just as much as Trump (and even more so in public mental health funding), and also gave one of the largest tax breaks to the rich. Share of Bush Tax Cuts ^ I don't think Trump deserves to be within 600 yards of the White House, or even hold a managerial position at Wal-Mart, but I have the strongest of feelings about Bush, and genuinely believe he/his administration set humanity back by at least 3 decades. He is not, and never will seem to be, a "normal person" and I would never want him back. Not even for a second.
