Retaliation vs Smearing vs Defense! Why Justin Baldoni Will Be Found Guilty!

    This is a very important video and I want you to not just watch but also participate. I want those in the legal profession to chime in. I want those in showbiz like me to share their thoughts. And I want and need you to also comment because when this goes to trial, the jury is going to be made up of everybody, including folks who don’t work in the legal or showbiz professions. So, let’s get to it. Hello, my friend. That is Perez, the queen of all media, the original influencer, and still your number one source for everything. It ends with us. Saga, I have been doing what I do for 21 years now. I don’t know everything, but I know a lot about how things work in showbiz. And thanks to the plantation overseer, I know a lot more about the legal system as well. And I definitely know a lot about social media. And I’m also crazy or authentic or both. I’m authentic and crazy and crazily authentic and authentically crazy. I recently had some folks unfollow me because of my opinions. because I’m not pandering to supporters of Justin Baldoni. I support him. I believe him, but I’m not on team Baldon. I’m definitely not on team Busted Blake either. I’ve said this repeatedly consistently. I’m team truth. That’s the team that I care about, the truth. And there’s this big concept about retaliation and smearing. And I actually think those are two separate concepts. Intertwined but different. And defending yourself is also part of this world but different as well. So let me cut to the chase. I do not believe Justin Baldoni shed the zerotime Oscarn nominated actress. However, I do think he retaliated and I’m going to explain why. It is obvious and even the wayfairer defendants themselves in their motion for summary judgement acknowledged that Beldoni did things on set that upset his co-star and other women. However, the mistress of misrepresentation took things the wrong way and twisted them. She made a mountain out of a molehill, as they say. And yes, I do believe that part of the reason for her actions were to get more and more control over the film. I firmly believe that. But collectively, none of the things that Justin Baldon did amount to sh. However, here’s where I really need the legal folks to chime in. I do believe that the law could find him guilty of retaliation even if there was no sh because the retaliation is actually not about sh that may or may not have happened. This is about retaliating once someone complained about sh even if sh did not happen and I do believe retaliation took place. Sorry. I don’t think smearing happened. Absolutely. defending themselves did occur, but much more took place than just defending themselves. Some of the tactics used by team Wayfairer are definitely outside the norm. Not common. Not just defending themselves, being hardcore on the offensive. Not a smear, but a retaliation. Let me explain. We have learned through evidence and deposition many of the tactics that team Wayfairer used in retaliating against the Van Xan babe, the grifting girly. And unfortunately for Justin Baldoni, he is responsible for his team. Even if he was not the one personally doing it, if it was his crisis communications expert Melissa Nathan, if it was his publicist, Jen Ael, if it was the nefarious Jed Wallace, ultimately him and his team are responsible. And this is a wild one. I do believe you can retaliate with the truth. For example, as we learned about shifting the narrative, that was retaliation. planting stories about not just the high school graduate but also her husband. That was retaliation. And that was something that Beldoni himself helped to orchestrate. Those of us who have been following this saga have seen those receipts. Justin wanted to draw attention that Ryan Reynolds had a hand in rewriting the script which had a female screenwriter and the timing of it all during the writer’s guild strike. Scab Ryan scab Reynolds. That was a directive that came from Justin Baldoni. And many of the other tactics were more than just defending themselves. As we learned recently with the whole sage steel of it all, it seems like team Wayfairer might have actually paid money to some content creators. That is outside the norm. Publicists and crisis communications experts deal with both traditional and non-traditional media all the time. It is not industry practice. It is not accepted to be paying for that. It just isn’t. This Sage Steel woman even gave team Wayfairer her video to look at before she published it. That’s not part of the industry standard. That’s not normal. She did that, I believe, cuz she got paid. And if she didn’t get paid, then they promised favors or something. But I would have never sent them my video before publishing. What the hell? No. Something went down there. And Sage Steel and possibly others was given a very long list of talking points. That also is not standard. Like I said, I’ve dealt with crisis communications experts and publicists before. They’ve never given me a multi-page list of truth versus fact. And that just doesn’t happen. And the work that Jed Wallace did, that also was not just defending yourself. I do believe that you can retaliate with the truth. Hear me out. Even if the whole Kirsty flaw, your little baby bump moment happened organically, I am sure team Wayfairer helped to boost that through the various ways that Jed Wallace could. Amplifying negative kaka about the goddess of garbage is not just defending yourself. That is retaliation. And I saved the best for last. I’m not mad at them. They should have retaliated. Yes, I know they did sign that agreement after the antibbellum peddler complained and would not return to work unless they signed this agreement that included language saying they would not retaliate. But guess what? They should have retaliated. I’m glad they retaliated. I would have retaliated as well if Malice Alice was spreading misrepresentations and worse intentional lies about me and my producing partner and my company, I sure as hell would retaliate and hard. So that’s why I truly think given everything that I just shared with you all, zero chance Baldon will be found guilty of SH, but high probability that he will be found guilty of retaliation. And there’s a whole bunch of other claims as well, but we’re focusing on just those two, the most important ones. And also smearing is similar to retaliation but more nefarious. You want to know an example of smearing? Smearing is the critically acclaimed Teen Choice Award winners publicist Leslie Sloan telling the media, “Nobody likes Justin. Nobody none of the actors got along with him.” That’s smearing because that’s opinion. That’s not based on the truth. That is your opinion, Leslie Sloan. That’s smearing. Oh, yeah. They smeared him and he retaliated as he should have. That’s what I think. What do you think? I need to know. And I also need you to get a cameo from me. I make the best personalized videos.

    2. Always love your opinion Dear Perez… but we have seen so many bad about BL..not just with Justin
      But with many other people she interacted with ..so a no for me..RR started this..not letting BL appear in Dead Pool…if you are playing
      In a role with someone..you get close to people..starting to be friends..so you share some things…to keep private between the two..
      But honestly..not really know what you saying here…

    3. Perez you’ve gotten the wrong end of the stick here! I too, am here for the truth… as am not a Baldoni fan (hell I didn’t even know who he was before this saga, just that he looked familiar) nor a Lively fan or a Reynolds fan.

      With regard to SH acknowledging someone has a problem with something you’ve done is not the same as agreeing that they are correct. A lot of the times you can see someone has an issue with something but don’t agree with them but accept that it makes them uncomfortable & course correct to avoid further conflict with them.

      Furthermore, Lively’s team has to prove retaliation as a result of SH claims.

      So, what is retaliation? The definition is in response to something that has been done. As such your response to someone attacking you can also be perceived as retaliation.

      Though I agree with you that once a complaint of SH is filed, then you cannot retaliate about SH because of the complaint as it becomes protected activity. But at the same time it only stops retaliation connected to SH. It does not stop an individual from defending themselves from other actions, nothing to do with SH, taken by the party claiming SH. Lively & Reynolds attacked the credibility of the film script in the media by claiming to have done a rewrite coz the script was crap. That attack has nothing to do with SH. Their response in the media was setting the record straight. Promoting existing negative stories in the media about Lively & Reynolds (if they did that…not proved yet) & promoting positive Baldoni stories (again, if they did so… not yet proved) in response to Blake & Reynolds continuous attacks on Baldoni & Wayfarer which had nothing to do with SH claims again as they said Baldoni was a bad director & kept cutting him out of the film, unfollowing him on social media. So all this was not in retaliation to her SH claims rather other actions she took that had nothing to do with SH!!

      Also about the Sage bit of it all… I agree that it looks weird & outta the norm. They might have had a deal with her (very possible)… but that has to be proven. It could also simply be that she was close to someone on the team & wanted to help. But even then, nothing untrue or demeaning of Lively was shared. Also doesn’t prove retaliation as a a result of SH claims.

      So that’s my take! Could be wrong… 😛

    4. I’m still here! I SUPPORT JB! And I am still listening to you. But sometimes, it’s hard to hear bad news when these ugly people mischaracterize things. And I seriously doubt there was retaliation. And if he ever lost his temper, I would not blame him. And I’m still sitting on the fence as to the veracity and intentions of that Saks woman. The only sensible thing I think she has said thus far is that Wayfarer should have hired an HR person. The rest, I am not sure yet how true it is. As for the retaliation, hmmm, I am not so sure they did that. They sure as heck have the right to put the truth out to defend themselves. I guess I need more evidence to be convinced by your argument.

    5. Also, one more thing. Just like RR and BL confused the kindness and acquiescence towards their ridiculous demands for weakness, I very much think that Saks confused JB’s unorthodox directing methods applying the Bahai principles of consultation as being green and not knowing what they were doing. If you look at her IMDB, she only had 3 movies under her belt. She’s “as green as Baldoni.” I also think that both her ego got a little in the way, and she lacked the HR skills and maturity to handle the set-up orchestrated by Reynolds and Lively, and executed by selfish, 2-faced, ambitious and immature people such as Hoover, Slate, Ferrer, Sklenar and the more evil participants: Phony Entertainment, Jones, Yucky Mean Evildoers, Megan Pooey, and others.

    6. Truth. First off, I loved your commentary and I genuinely appreciate your insight on this whole situation. While I totally get how you could frame Justin Baldoni’s move as retaliation — and yes, on the surface it could be read that way — I’m in full agreement with him because what he was putting out wasn’t opinion, it was truth. And when someone is pushing back with actual truth, I personally see that as defense, not spite. Especially when you factor in the sheer level of power, influence, and PR force Blake Lively wields — and by association, let’s be real, her husband Ryan Reynolds, who’s an even bigger cultural force. Justin doesn’t have that kind of machine behind him. So to me, he was doing what he had to do to make sure the truth didn’t get buried, and that it was amplified loudly enough to stand up to the narrative coming from their side.

    7. Let’s agree to disagree on this one. You don’t know exactly what happened with the content creator so unless I don’t think it’s fair to guess they paid them.

    8. I think you’re right. Paying content creators and giving them talking points will be an issue. I’m not sure about boosting positive/ negative stories. Lawyers take would be interesting. You are the only content creator I’ve seen mentioning the sage content creator scandal. Team truth. Also Blake Lively is the worst.

    9. Perez. I think retaliation against FALSE claims of sexual harassment against you! Of course you can retaliate against FAKE ACCUSATIONS. It only applies if what Blake says is true. Come one now!

    10. I see a lot of people bitching at perez here what i didn't see you attacking him when he was talking about Blake he always said he is in the side of truth and what he is saying now is also truth. I am sure justin didn't SA Blake he is not dumb enough to do anything to someone as big as Blake in Hollywood circles. But i am 100 percent think justin misbehaved and made her and other co workers uncomfortable. Blake made a mountain out of molehill

      That being said this is 100 percent retaliation it's now clear that baldoni's team manipulated seo and social media to direct attack towards Blake and they paid creators whether baldoni's team asked just to put their part of the story or not the content creators actually did attack her and her family this here is very very clear retaliation

    11. We have listened to Perez having open minded opinions before. And neither are we dead Team baldoni. We have made our opinions based off of what we have seen. But since a few days his vids dont make sense.
      Perez defended himself a few days ago…so does it mean he retaliated?? 😂😂😂
      Something is up with Perez these days😂😂

    12. Also the world or at least Hollywood is not ready for the Wayfarer and their strength of character. They found them abnormal because they were working with values rarely seen in the entertainment industry so..obviously people felt threathened and decided not to allow for these high standards of working and decides to attack and destroy not only Justin but the whole company. Oh well.. truth will prevail. Even if he loses, the whole world is on his side.

    13. Like it or not, Jed Wallace's responses make it look like the Wayfairer side was up to something shady. Hopefully there is no liability in it, because it doesn't change the reality that Blake was the one who abused her power to ruthlessly get what she wanted. I still hope she loses the case on all fronts.
