I agree with Heather regarding the dynamic between BL, RR and JB. However, per email and text messages, it’s clear that BL and JS were conspiring against JB. It’s also a fact that BL did ask for all the dailies to be destroyed.
Love Heather, but she missed some key points. One glaring is the fact that she did indeed ask Sony to delete the dailies. Ang Gianetti's email to Josh Greenstein stated that Blake wanted Sony to delete the dailies. Ang was surprised as they had never been asked by an Actor/Actress to do so unless it was a nude scene. Blake lied in her depo when asked if she or had someone ask to have the dailies deleted.
Spot on— blake kissed Justin 9 unscripted times!
This was a triangulated ego fest.
She did the same thing to Justin that she did to Ryan when he was married to Scarlett and Justin wasn’t interested
I think the "family bed" comments made Blake mad also – regarding the bed remarks regarding intimacy
Heather, please do your research. Justin grew his hair out so he could donate it when it got long enough. The ponytail was not a style statement, but it was for charity. That's why he cut it off when it had gotten long enough.
There is no world in which Justin is canceled. His popularity just keeps growing the more people look into this case and how Blake and Ryan bullied and abused him.
Stop putting him in the same category as those two narcissists. It shows your own unseriousness and glib, lazy reporting.
Also look into how important Justin's faith and spiritual practice. Baha'ism ll about love and generosity of spirit. I grew up with Baha'is. They are very genuine people.
This is why people no longer trust shows and news by celebrities like yourself. You are showing how lazy mainstream media is with their reporting. You didn't even read the court documents. Go watch the content makers. They actually do the work.
>>> Support Justin Baldoni. There's19,100+ signatures to "Rescind Blake Lively's PGA Credit from the Movie, It Ends With Us" (search to find/sign/share)
I have believed this from the very beginning. Exactly!
Think JB was responding to BL because he was excited to have someone like her on set. And BL was most certainly flirty and all in. BL is vile to then not ignore but get all her demons all in to harass not just JB but his family too. We read it all. ALL.
I'm old but still, if I were young, he would be taking me to court for SH 🤭 for real 😜. Don't nobody yell at me, I'm just messing with ya 😅…..maybe😊
Ryan and Blake are the perfect example of what a Machiavellian is. the extent of malice pain and suffering they inflicted to get rights to the movie its unprecedented. im not sure how Baldoni is not in a hospital .. of wait he was in the hospital.
She had the hots for her co-star like all her movies but he was not interested. That’s how all it started. Justin is so much hotter than Ryan.
Ryan Reynolds was regularly showing up on set demanding to see the dailies.
Hmmm …. 🤔
Yes there was an email to Sony executives regarding Blake’s desire to delete the dailies.
YES, Blake told the Sony execs to destroy the dailies and lied about it in her deposition. But the text messages of the Sony execs confirmed she was demanding that and they in turn were demanding that of all their Sony vendors
🙄
Yea…it's definitely annoying to have a man advocate for women…. 🙄 Apparently, when dealing with women, you LOSE no matter what you do (and yes…I am a woman, so don't come at me)….If you're caring and advocate for women…you're fake, it's an "act," etc., but if you don't advocate for women…you're a misogynist…. The culture we live in these days has taken such a turn, and it's downright depressing….
It’s good to see more content creators talking about this. But if you’re coming into the story late, please spend more time researching first. I know it’s a lot to go through, but many of us have been following the case since December 2024 and digging through even the smallest details in the court documents. Your audience may already have seen far more information and context than you have.
Candance owens has been saying since the beginning that this looks like blake had a crush on justin and thats why ryan insisted on seeing the footage everyday
Her theory is the whole internet theory. She liked him he was not into her and then RR got jealous.
No, he had back surgery! This is why he needed to know her weight! Because in a prevous message, she said that she was 20 pounds overweight!
The itch thing was true about Blake.
Yes, she or someone from her corner asked for the dailies to be destroyed! It's in Sony emais/messages! First time they heard of it in a film without nude scenes! And the timing was before the CA complaint and the NYT hit piece on Justin. But Wayfarer had their own copies.

I don’t know who this lady is, but I’m very offended by her first of all Justin is sexy and he’s kind and he’s sweet and he’s loving, and he never had a mean bone in his body unlike the other one who has every single bone in her body that’s mean and a bully there’s no chemistry there! It’s HIS great acting! She’s disgusting and despicable. When they did the acting scenes she had already started way before that being her despicable mean self, she was bullying him already so he must’ve been already vomiting every time he had to see her face! Btw Justin has an absolutely gorgeous, stunning wife that can run circles around that woman and on top of that out act her so let’s not OK thanks.
Where’s Zack or Elsie? They need to be on your show
Hmm she clearly doesn’t know much about the case! 🤦♀️
Like any mother was looking for a workplace crush?! Who is this character?
Actually they didn't film the scene where he was asking about her weight.. The scene where Justin Baldoni was supposed to lift Blake Lively was a romantic/intimacy sequence originally intended to take place after his character (Ryle) hurts her.
The woman talking is ANNOYING
Personally, I just watched the movie and found it average and boring for the most part. Blake is a "C" list level of actor. If she wasn't good looking, nobody would cast her. Marginal talent at best
Please let's not pretend this was BL's first "workplace crush"–she's had several including her current husband while he was still married. And she hasn't always been pushing 40 with 4 kids; the kiss-and-conquer tactic is just her M.O. at this point.
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Wow this is the first time I ever heard of Heather, not impressed at ALL why are you bothering us with this person who knows 1/4 of the everyone who is followed this case🙃
The other actors didnt stay silent but was on side of Blake!!!
She is one of those women who think she's so attractive that every man that she meets is in love with her and her mind. Even though she's happily married to Ryan Reynolds, she doesn't look at marriage the same way that most people look at marriage. She still thinks she is so amazing that she can flirt with temptations without regard. She is a malignant narcissist.
This theory is as old as time. She's def not the 1st to suppose that she fell for him
Has Heather followed this or done research–she was mistaken or outright wrong on some of her facts…
Heather is dead wrong about Blake wanting to destroy the dailies. There's an email that was unsealed that revealed exactly that. Blake's email to a Sony director (?) requested that they be destroyed and it was considered an unusual request when there wasn't any nudity or other juicy takes to worry about.
She had committed perjury during her deposition and I think that's why she dropped her case just days after that came out.
There was an interview where when discussing the intimacy coordinator Colleen mentioned how Blake grabbed Justin and demonstrated how he should pull her in during one of the takes and she looked very surprised and said "Where did you see that?" She didn't realize that Justin had filmed everything, and I think it was then that she realized that the dailies would reveal her lies because just a few days after that interview, she requested they be deleted.
This is who you have on to talk about facts? I love her, but she admits she's doesn't care much about getting details right.😂
One of the best PC’s on this case.
Tempering your honesty about Blake by bashing someone that’s good. It’s kind of gross. You didn’t have to do that. And I’ve had lots of on the counter sex how unfortunate that you haven’t.
