What do you guys think of the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni firestorm?

[ManOnFire]

In case you didn't know (and I didn't either until it showed up in my feeds) Blake Lively has accused It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment with "bombshell" allegations.

I have never watched the show It Ends With Us, but I personally think Blake is another woman trying to set off a bomb because she is unpopular with people. Justin probably did some or all of the things she said he did, but she probably wouldn't have even complained if nothing went down behind closed doors that we don't know about. Basically, I think she's probably using all these things now as a weapon. And of course, all the stars are standing by her to look supportive of women, and also because many of them are her friends so of course they will support her.

But what do you guys think?

Seems like an interesting fight I'd like to see how it turns out.. I did find it weird how everyone was hating on her so bad at the time of the movie, since it seems suspicious because I never liked or disliked her or seen anything horrible that she has done. Plus I like Ryan Reynolds a lot so if she was that horrible would she be happily married to him?

[ManOnFire]

I heard somewhere that she cheated on her ex with Ryan, and that's why she's married to him now.

[PeachyPie93]

I heard he cheated on Scarlet Johansson with her.. but who knows.. it is Hollywood and it is just gross and they all sleep with each other so does it even matter lol.

[ManOnFire]

Yeah, that too about Scarlet, I heard that. I've never really been a Ryan Reynolds fan anyway.

[PeachyPie93]

LOL seems he isn't that liked.. but I always liked him and his sarcastic humour :P So hopefully soon we will learn the truth to what happened here.. I don't trust that Director guy tbh though because he comes off too phony but I could be wrong lol.

[ManOnFire]

So I definitely DO think he's phony, and his male-feminist speech on TED Talk or whatever was really cringe when I saw it, but I think he is really no worse than Blake. She probably only just now decided to make a stink about all this cuz she knows she's hated and maybe knew something was about to happen to her career behind closed doors or whatever. So I get the feeling she's only coming out about this shit now to get people to support her. 99% of the time these Hollywood women were already dealing with harassment and whatnot but just choose to let it go until they can, well, pull BS like this. Just to weaponize it.

On top of it, imagine what Blake and other actresses may know about things that have happened to women in the industry, and they still stood by and said nothing. But only now does she 'come forward' if it can vindicate or benefit her.

[PeachyPie93]

Well I am not that invested in the celebrity lives to really know but I honestly don't think he is being phony I genuinely think he is a nice and caring guy.. Plus he is Canadian and we tend to try to be helpful more often than not lol. As for Blake I seen how much everyone came down on her hard online and I never felt it was justified, so I am just waiting to see who wins and is telling the truth because to be honest that guy does seem genuinely creepy to me..

[PeachyPie93]

Oh my bad you were talking about the Dirctor guy not Ryan LOL!! but yeah he does seem phony for sure since I seen him interviews and watched the movie and he just seems Off putting..

[ManOnFire]

Oh yeah, not Ryan lol. I mean, I've never cared for him that much but I don't think he's phony at all. I think Justin just fakes all that male feminist stuff for publicity sake.

[GlowUpGirly5]

If you caught up with the most recent news it was confirmed that Blake lied. Text messages were pulled. Also Blake has a poor reputation in the industry and known for this type of behavior that's why she's rarely casted anymore and no I don't believe blake

[GlowUpGirly5]

Plus a man that looks like that and with his success is not hard up for a woman . Especially someone as basic as blake.

[ManOnFire]

I've never been a fan of her either, and yeah she is basic blonde af. Even if some of what she said about him really is true she was probably only just now using it as a weapon out of her own unhappiness with being hated.

[GlowUpGirly5]

@ManOnFire yeah Blake has a poor reputation with women too she's known as being a "homewrecker" and being difficult on set. Also this man she speaks of is married. And if she had such an issue with him why was she so willing to make numerous sexual scenes with him while married? I think she needs money. This isn't going to end well for her especially since the lawyers have pulled text showing this man was actually very professional with her. So yeah she won't be casted in movies anymore. Ao I hope her beauty line takes off

[ManOnFire]

I don't know, I think that would be the best outcome, but the system is still set up to support women when they cry sexual assault, even in Hollywood. Men who run the systems are weak and give in to women's cries and fear their anger, even when these women are wrong, so I think she will still be upheld unfortunately.

It’s possible, at least, that Blake Lively is covering for the fact that she was a terrible Lilly Bloom and that she got the role only because of her husband. I could see her using legitimate sexual assault victims to cover up for her bad acting.

[Anonymous]

Amber Heard is backing Blake Lively. that should tell you all you need to know

[ManOnFire]

Lol. Partners in crime.

[Cripplingkingship]

If Blake Lively had more power than Justin Baldoni, then why is she the one being vilified in the media while he is being defended? Power isn’t just about titles—it’s about who controls the narrative. Right now, it’s clear that the narrative is being shaped against her, which raises a bigger question: why is there such a coordinated effort to discredit her before any real legal conclusions have been made?

The claim that she “lied her way into a PGA mark” is another example of how misinformation spreads faster than facts. If there is actual evidence of wrongdoing, then why hasn’t that been the legal argument? Why is the focus instead on attacking her credibility in the public eye rather than addressing the actual legal dispute?

Also, what’s the logic behind her planning to take the movie away from the beginning? If that were true, she wouldn’t have needed to file a lawsuit after the movie was already made. This argument assumes she was playing a long game for control, but if she truly had more power from the start, why would she need to fight this battle at all?

The bigger issue here isn’t about who had more power—it’s about why this case is being weaponized to discredit women in Hollywood at large. If Blake Lively can be turned into the villain in her own case, what does that mean for other women who don’t have her level of fame or resources?

The real report isn’t about whether Blake Lively manipulated her way into a PGA mark—it’s about how quickly and easily the public can be convinced that a woman is lying before the facts are even settled.

[ManOnFire]

That is a very good point.

[Cripplingkingship]

we shouldn’t take sides prematurely—which is exactly the point. The court should decide who is telling the truth, but right now, Blake has already been branded guilty in the public eye before any real evidence has even been examined.

As a man who has personally experienced sexual harassment at work, I stand for all victims, regardless of gender. This isn’t about blindly believing one side—it’s about recognizing that the way this case is being handled is deeply unfair.

If we truly care about justice, then we should wait for the court’s verdict instead of allowing public opinion and media narratives to act as judge, jury, and executioner. The reason I’m speaking up for Blake isn’t because I’m against Baldoni—it’s because she’s already been declared guilty by the media before she’s even had a fair chance to prove her case.

If the roles were reversed, and Baldoni was the one being attacked without due process, I would say the same thing. Justice should be based on facts, not PR campaigns and social media manipulation

[Cripplingkingship]

Beyond Blake’s case, there is a disturbing narrative being pushed onto young men through online platforms, particularly a certain podcast that has gained massive popularity. The podcast is called whatever

This podcast and similar spaces encourage the idea that women have no value to society, that men could live without them, and that women are actively destroying men’s lives. It’s not just misogyny—it’s an orchestrated dehumanization of women, and it is spreading fast.

The pattern is clear:

First, powerful men push back against allegations.
Then, a media strategy is used to create doubt about all accusations.
Now, young men are being indoctrinated to believe women are the enemy.
This is dangerous because it ensures that future victims won’t even be believed before they speak. The long-term goal here isn’t just to silence individual women—it’s to completely rewrite the rules around sexual misconduct, making it nearly impossible for victims to get justice.

[Lalalove11]

I think it's all a distraction. Let the courts decide. Both seem insufferable , but this is Hollywood after all.

[molonski2]

Just more bullshit in a ludicrous litigious system that needs to be completely revamped.

who gives a crap?
