The Baldoni vs Lively case

[jealous girl 2,243]

I don’t see it as a “believe her because she’s a woman” but more how the internet has been biased against her since the time his PR machine started attacking her, how we’re seeing the same exact PR pattern again, how glaringly obvious it is that people with connections to him are nitpicking at everything she has said in her complaint/suit (or really anything she does in life) but giving him a free pass on every inconsistency. Also the fact that his lawyer is going on talk shows to talk about this is so weird to me. It’s pretty obvious they’re trying to pressure her into settling before this goes to court - are they scared?

 

And I’ve seen nothing about her editing texts except for the upside down emoji being omitted - which apparently the subpoena software does. He’s the one trying to hide that a message has been edited by adding a huge circle that crosses the edit note. 🙃.

It’s also so weird how 80% of the comments on some TikTok/Facebook threads I’ve seen are essentially just thirsting over him; they seem to think she must have been asking for it / wanted him because they think he’s hot 

 

I wrote a lot about why I think he might not be innocent or as innocent on the other thread, might add it here if it doesn’t get moved.

 

BTW I’m fully accepting that I might be proven wrong in the end, but right now I won’t be believing the word of some TikToker(s) who just happen to have the same shady lawyer as him.

Making this just about her gender is a gross oversimplification of the issue, specially in light of the evidence we already have.

Men never want these things to be about gender because it makes them look so bad. Unfortunately though, it IS about gender. Sexual harassment and assaults are overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women - not the other way around. And men always defend other men saying there needs to be "evidence", when anyone with a brain knows very well (as stated above) these things do not always fit into neat little boxes. Like, let's not pretend that there isn't a very obvious campaign to discredit her using the "she asked for it" narrative, for starters. 

Furthermore, it's about her gender because of the absolute misogyny being directed towards her:

1. No one is accusing Baldoni of being a bad father, but there are thousands of comments saying that Blake is a bad mother because of the way she pushes a child on a swing.

2. No one is saying that he "isn't attractive" (or making any negative reference to his appearance in general). Again, there are thousands of comments that are all, "I never liked her anyway/she isn't even pretty" type comments as if it's in any way relevant.

3. The misogyny against Taylor Swift also plays into this, because people are using Blake's friendship with her as "proof" that she's a bad person, because they don't like Taylor (again, because her music is bad/she isn't attractive/she ruined football).

As I said - idk if this is worthy of a court case. But she says she felt uncomfortable and people don't get to negate that because they don't think she's a good actress or whatever.

Yes. This.

And that "bias" is comprised of blatant misogyny in many cases.

Predators often operate in ways

I don’t think there’s anything to suggest he’s a predator? 
 

i think the words sexual harassment have twisted this - nothing he did is reprehensible. Like, if he made her feel uncomfortable, that sucks and shouldn’t have happened but come on, it doesn’t make him a predator lol.

Isn’t that in question now too, the NYT (or Blake’s team) removed an upside down smiley emoji from the texts, which changed the tone of the entire convo. 
 

That was a clear PR smear of Baldoni done by the NYT, and whoever sent them those texts.

If he intentionally said and did things that were inappropriate then yes, I consider him to be a predator.

I believe this is (part of) what she is alleging he did?

The internet just hates women. Whether or not whoever is in the right, there’s so much hate towards Blake right now that some of it gives very misogynistic. This just gives very Depp v Heard all over again 🙄

[shadesofblue 18,612]

Honestly I don't really understand this situation but it’s sad people don’t believe Blake. Just because someone did things in the past that weren’t very nice doesn’t make them wrong forever in every situation. I do believe Blake was SH because I don’t see why someone would come forward and lie about it. Apologies if I’m just not getting all the facts right but people seem to be looking at this in a very black and white misogynistic way and I don’t think that’s fair. 

[barttttender 5,515]

Anyone else completely disinterested in this event?

 

Blake Lively is by all accounts a moron. I cannot believe how she dresses nor how unlikable she is. As for the man, i legit have no clue who he is or what he does.

 

The fact that this is news, while we got climate change issues, wildfires and genocides, is frankly sickening.

read Baldoni's case and say this again (you won't.) It is linked on page 1.

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.

Blake had it coming. I never believed her and the evidences brought by Justin’s lawyer prove she is a manipulative, bullying liar. So is her husband.

 

team Justin all the way to the end.

[Trash Magic 28,521]

She is a fucking psychopath

speaking of extremes, she always has been a bully to the extreme. A entitled spoiled brat who got married in a place that used to be a plantation. It was just a matter of time for her to be the next Amber Heard. The sooner the better. 
 

Justin has been treated like trash and was nothing but charming and nice to her.

New proof just dropped today. Listen to it and say that again.

Face it, Blake is the agressor here, "believe women" and "women good men bad" are too simplistic philosophies to live your life by.
