Lot of really disgusting people on this site. A woman comes forward with allegations of sexual harassment and your first response is “I don’t like her” and it gets dozens of upvotes. No different than MAGAts. No different at all. 

It’s always believe women and support women until it’s a woman you don’t like. 

It's actually amazing so many of the headlines these days are basically "I can't believe I fell for the smear campaign against Blake Lively I'm so ashamed Baldoni is evil" etc. etc. etc. Yet literally everyone is doing the same thing just in the opposite direction now. The news isn't even a week old (and was conveniently and strategically dropped right before Christmas to ensure maximum publicity and prevent Baldoni's team from formulating and responding until the New Year). He's more than likely to countersue with accusations of his own that may (or may not) sway public opinion on the case. Yet everyone already has an opinion from just one side of the story (and may or may not change their mind once they hear the full story).

It's always "wait until you hear both sides before making a judgement" until the first side becomes really compelling and then people don't need to wait for the other side of the story to throw stones. 

I'd rather have a brain than be brain dead. I'm personally waiting for all the facts until I formulate an opinion, just so I don't change my mind every 5 minutes like everyone else. Thank you very much.

So she's trying to save face after being called out for being a horrible person.

Blake Lively woke up that day and chose to retire, to not have a career anymore

Wow, this person won’t just listen, learn, and take an L. 
 

She needs to grow up and take accountability for her actions and the way SHE RUINED HER OWN CAREER. I feel sorry for her kids, look at the parents that they have to look up to. 
 

Edit: There seems to be evidence that they’re both horrible people. I stand with non of them.

I don’t trust her or her husband. She’s proven to be difficult already and this lawsuit screams “I want to ruin you” and that is gross to me.

Honestly I don't remember the last time anyone even talked about her or this film or the drama around it.

The world had moved on. And now she's like "wait actually talk about how much of a bad person I am again".

She’s kind of unbearable tbh

She misleadingly promotes a romcom and her haircare line during the campaign of a movie about SA and domestic violence. And got rightly called out for that. She talked about no resilience that she's claiming she did. She's the one to blame for her tarnished reputation.

 

Wow. Page 1 is just filled with naive gullible dipsh*ts who fell for it. Lmfao. This site- please never change!

You can’t be serious. You think that a woman can’t be harassed simply because the person doing it isn’t as powerful as she is? This happens all the time. 

This just proves what has been said for a long time, that no matter what women are just not safe within our society. I can't believe more people here aren't taking away that if Blake Lively can be sexually harassed at work then it's really scary out there.

Bless your heart ❤️ 

It’s ironic, my stance has changed since more news came out. I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone’s past opinion, like you said it came from the 1st page, an opinion from 3 days ago.
 

Get off your high horse and Happy Holidays ❤️❤️

way to extrapolate and twist words. you do you i guess 

You keep replying to me and others but not explaining or stating your views. Yes people are making assumptions based on what you actually HAVE said and you haven't proved any of us wrong or said our conclusions aren't correct in any type of meaningful way. I asked you very direct questions that you didn't answer. So you go back and read your own posts and my questions instead of being mad that people are taking your ostensible disdain for Blake at face value. 

[BUtterfield 8 40,920]

Two things can be right at the same time. Blake isn’t a great person. And this dude is a pos that deserves everything that’s about to come for him.

three things:

1) not mad, just lmaoing at all the nonsense i'm reading

2) i literally just explained that i was waiting for all the facts to make an opinion to avoid changing my mind every 3 days like literally all of you will once more facts get revealed, time for better reading glasses

3) no point in answering very direct questions if they're being asked in a very hostile way by a person who clearly has no intent or desire to actually consider a different point of view from their own

merry christmas!

Coming in hot 4 days later once people have already done a 180 on the subject just to take a moral high ground.

Top notch contribution.

And I stand by what I said - this entire situation was dead. The world had moved on. She's married to one of Hollywood's favourite male leads. 

And this lawsuit has just made the people who hate her start talking about how much they hate her. 

As I've said though, her team clearly have the evidence to backup their serious claims of harassment and its good that they've brought it to light.

But it won't change the people who hate her. They will still hate her. They just have 1 less talking point.

Go to YouTube and you'll magically discover creators specifically mentioning how she undermined her own image by selling hair care line.

Also, don't be naive enough to assume people see everything in black n white. Some need to get off their high horses and see that the people around are smart enough to realize that one can be harrassed and still cause one's own reputation damage by doing other things. News flash: both can happen at the same time. Nobody is gullible enough to think Blake cannot be abused, harrassed. All empathy goew to her! But people can see that selling hair care products and floral romcom vibe for a movie on SA is extremely distasteful.

People have since taken her side once she made the allegations public. Nobody is denying she was harassed simply because she damaged her reputation. People aren't as bad as you've unfortunately been led to believe. 

Looks like it took you five dats to catch up with the turns of events. What were you doing? Revelling in your moral uprightness lol?

It's possible that everything from her lawsuit is true and she is still unlikeable... internet doesn't always need to pick sides!

Yep! Awful things can happen to bad people!

 

Forcing Blake to be the perfect victim is damaging to her and ALL victims.

to add to this – if the allegations are true in her suit, the reason for doing this is irrespective of whether the internet has "moved on" or not. she would want retribution, vindication and revenge to him for his behaviour (which, if the allegations are all true, makes perfect sense). If however her version of events is a slightly (or dramatically) embellished version of the truth, rehashing the story and bringing it out again now that everyone had moved on would indeed be a kind of weird choice because it would just drag this story on for ages.

Honestly I think the most likely outcome is the sexual harassment stuff is going to be largely true.

But her additional stuff about the PR spin campaign etc I see being waaay more grey and as a result any court case if public is just going to get messy for the pair of them and end up hurting both of them.

At the end of the day the result is going to change nothing. People who hate her, will continue to do so because they hated her before this. And the people who don't, will continue to not.

interesting. From my reading so far my understanding has been that the PR spin campaign is the one that everyone is supporting as real (even her castmates) but so far for the SH allegations it's only been a "she said" (and he didn't say yet but will likely reply at some point in the next few weeks). I feel like the SH allegations are the ones that will be hardest for either side to prove so it really will be down to a jury to decide what the truth is, since I don't see either side moving for a settlement considering the accusations.

I hope she wins. He seems a right a-hole.
