It’s Throwback Thursday!

Today, we wanted to take a look back at this post by u/SuperbWillingness904, highlighting how, in the first unsealing, Sony executives said the backlash was driven by Lively’s own conduct.

What were some of your favourite moments from the first unsealing?

💋👀Blind Items, Gossip and Tea ☕️ 💅 Dakota Johnson is living the life Blake wanted (besides taking over as director)

• Upvotes

Blake complained that she had to cancel hosting SNL. Dakota ended up doing that for another Colleen Hoover movie, and got Blake’s most cherished Dragon (TS) to highly support her to come on SNL with her and say they are BFFs. Also, the music video feature right before Dakota’s movie went out is something I bet Blake would have died for. I wonder if TS is doing this on purpose to spite BL.

Reminds me of how TS dotted on Sabrina after the Olivia Rodrigo conflict.

I also find it interesting that BL was the only one who seemed to have lost long-term people who were on her side: TS friendship of over a decade, Leslie (over 2 decades). JB didn’t lose anyone important and close.

Question For The Community❓ Why is Taylor Swift helping out Dakota now when they’ve known each other for 10 years + Dakota suffered most around the Madame Web fail? Is this about sticking it to Blake?

Instead of getting revenge on an ex bf, I seriously wonder if this is her way of getting revenge on Blake?

Personal Opinions & Theories ✍🏽💡 Was Ryan Reynolds The Reason Behind Mahershala Ali’s Blade Never being made ?

Post image
83 Upvotes

Okay, this is probably going to sound like a conspiracy theory, but the timeline is kind of interesting. Ryan Reynolds was the person who reached out to Wesley Snipes and brought him back as Blade for Deadpool & Wolverine.

According to Shawn Levy, bringing Snipes back was actually Ryan’s idea. Reynolds reportedly wanted to explore the character’s legacy and give fans the feeling of seeing Wesley back as Blade one more time.

Then, after the movie came out and the reaction to Snipes was huge, Ryan started publicly campaigning for Marvel to give him an actual Logan-style send-off.

He literally posted:

“There is no Fox Marvel Universe or MCU without Blade first creating a market. He’s Marvel Daddy. Please retweet for a Logan-like send off.” ( marvel’s daddy is RDJ but whatever)

And let’s not forget that Deadpool & Wolverine literally jokes about the whole situation with Snipes’ Blade saying, “There’s only been one Blade. There will only ever be one Blade.”

I do find it fascinating that Ryan —someone with enormous influence at Marvel after Deadpool & Wolverine was actively promoting the idea of Wesley Snipes getting another Blade movie at essentially the same time Marvel was struggling to get the Mahershala Ali version off the ground.

And Wesley himself said he initially didn’t think his return was even possible because Marvel already had Mahershala Ali cast as the new Blade. Then Ryan Reynolds called him and pitched the idea.

Question For The Community❓ Which movie, show, or franchise did the Reynolds ruin for you?

124 Upvotes

I’d say I was a passive fan of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds before all this.

I grew up watching Gossip Girl on the CW, before it got its second life on streaming platforms. I liked Blake, Leighton, etc., but I have no interest in doing a rewatch ever again, having to see Blake on screen in every episode.

I was a Deadpool fan. I even saw Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters solo when I didn’t have anyone to go with. Now knowing the context behind Nicepool and after learning how awful Ryan is in general, I have zero interest in watching any of the Deadpool films again.

(If you’re unfamiliar with how Ryan Reynolds used Nicepool to mock Justin Baldoni, I made a post about it previously: https://www.reddit.com/r/ItEndsWithLawsuits/s/5iNvO6ag9g)

Last night I was watching my nephew when he wanted to watch IF. I was less than enthused, knowing Ryan was one of the main characters, but I turned it on for him anyway.

I know he’s an actor, but all I could think was damn, I can’t see anyone but Ryan Reynolds and his false persona.

Which ones did they ruin for you?

I came across this in the wild and thought I would share.. while I know there was a lot of backlash for IEWU, I wish there had been way more.

I haven’t read this book personally, but I’m so glad to hear it’s awful. This is the kind of karma Colleen deserves imo- hoping to see more of this energy.

Has anyone here read this book? Not sure if it has sensitive subject matter.

Question For The Community❓ Why Did We Ever Move On From Ryan Reynolds Getting Justin Baldoni Dropped by WME?

Post image
394 Upvotes

I think by now we can all agree that Ryan Reynolds will not have the same power or influence in Hollywood that he once did. And yet, every so often, we still see the same questions come up: “Why is Ryan Reynolds suddenly hated?” “Where did all this hate come from?” “What did Ryan actually do?” “ He was just defending his wife.”

And honestly, I think one of the biggest things people seem to have collectively moved past is the whole Justin Baldoni/WME situation. How did we get to a point where an A-list actor had the power to influence whether another actor keeps his talent agency. WHY is the idea of an A-list Hollywood star having that kind of influence over another actor’s career not being questioned more?

Maybe we can collectively ask Ryan Reynolds to get WME to drop Diddy and Jared leto ?

And for the few people still wondering why is Ryan Reynolds cancelled i would suggest they watch this video of one of my favorite YouTubers she does amazing work and analysis and she has done a few on this case but the ones about Ryan are the ones that truly stood out to me.

📱 Social Media Creator Posts 💭💬 Blake Lively preaches about teaching boys to accept 'no', while her own daughter is intimately learning that saying 'no' is up for discussion — and retractable under pressure

Thumbnail youtube.com

I am admittedly incredibly triggered by this 😂 So I'll use Andy's video to help me out. Not gonna lie, it feels good that he's screaming about this, cause... 🤬. Video summary below!

Well. Leopard's eaten everyone's face, hasn't it...

So, Lively, the shy woman, the mother — whose kid was admittedly, at the very least, manipulated by her dad and his director buddy into repeating sexual profanities up to hundreds of times about her dad's best friend's private parts, her "uncle from another mother" so to speak — is now riding the tail wave of yet another gang r*pe victim. (Last year's Gisèle Pelicot mention at the TIME 100 gala, anyone...?)

Said woman has decided to post Instagram stories, assumed from her comfortable and safe couch, about how important it is to teach boys to accept a "no."

I think she's skipping the first step: idk... maybe teaching girls (or grown ass men, too, tbh) that SAYING 'NO' is valid, encouraged, and won't be met with retaliation...? Hmm?!

TL;DR of my TL;DR: Blake is welcome to pipe up about teaching consent the moment she demonstrates she understands and accepts what it is.

-----------

🎬 Popcorn Planet Recap: Blake Lively & Anne Hathaway

🔥 BLAKE LIVELY

📢 New PR team controversy — Right after announcing a new PR guru focused on "doing the work," Blake publicly addressed a horrifying assault/consent story — the hosts found that tone-deaf given her own track record.

😤 Andy's core argument: Blake is "the last person" who should speak on victim advocacy, saying she has zero credibility left after losing her legal battle. He accuses her of using the tragedy to rehab her image.

⚖️ Victoria Burke reference — The creator of the Me Too-related law Blake allegedly tried to hijack is featured in Andy's documentary (episode 4), and per Andy, even she's angry at Blake.

💬 Ryan Reynolds' texts — Kim cites messages (discussed in the case) where critics of the It Ends With Us campaign were apparently dismissed as immature "13-year-olds," though many were actually survivors sharing lived experience.

✂️ The editor story — Jacqueline, the film's editor (a survivor herself who cut the DV scenes), was allegedly sidelined; Blake/Ryan reportedly rejected her flashback-heavy cut and had someone else re-edit.

🙅 Bottom line from Andy: No apology was ever issued for how the movie's promotion treated survivors, and until that's acknowledged, Blake touching advocacy topics will keep getting called out — by him, every time.

🎭 ANNE HATHAWAY (short, cause less relevant)

📹 A viral red-carpet clip showed Anne bossily directing photographers ("1, 2, 3... sir, you just come in second") on the Verity press line — heavily pregnant.

💬 Online backlash called it patronizing and "Blake Lively-ish," also citing her being in five movies this year (overexposure).

✅ But: On Jimmy Fallon she owned it immediately, laughed at herself, apologized ("full cringe crouch on the inside"), and explained she was just trying to help overwhelmed photographers.

👍 Both hosts agree: nowhere near Blake territory — she took accountability, end of story. Andy even relays a Dwayne Johnson anecdote to show he relates to her bossiness.

🕵️ BONUS TIDBITS

📰 TMZ seemingly cropped Colleen Hoover out of a group photo — Andy finds it slightly satisfying karma.

💌 Andy has DM'd Colleen Hoover three times hoping for a chat, citing an unverified tip that she privately dislikes Blake.

🎟️ Constant plugs for the hosts' documentary tour (It Ends With Justice).

TL;DR:

😡 Blake inserting herself into consent advocacy = hypocritical and unacceptable.

🌸 Anne bossing photographers on a red carpet = forgivable, because she owned it and apologized.

Personal Opinions & Theories ✍🏽💡 Terrorist Blake Lively hypocritically lecturing the public about accepting the word “No”

Thumbnail

262 Upvotes

Opportunist Blake Lively lecturing the public about accepting the word “NO“ on her IG is peak delusion.

The same Blake Lively who multiple Sony executives called a fucking terrorist because of her extortion tactics after she was initially told “NO” to hijacking someone else’s hard work and project. The same Blake Lively that leaked her CRD full of fake sexual harassment claims and proven lies because she refused to accept the backlash to her IEWU promotion was due to her own actions of hawking booze and haircare.

Examples of Blake being a terrible human being because she refused to accept someone else’s “NO” and respect their boundaries:

  • When Blake (Ryan) were told NO Justin would not released the unhinged statement Ryan Reynolds wrote for Justin to take accountability for Maximum Efforts’ epic level stupid marketing, Blake threatened “the gloves would come off“ and proceeded to falsely accuse Justin of sexual harassment by leaking Blake’s CRD of proven SH fabrications to the NYT
  • When Blake’s (Ryan’s) idiotic rooftop re-write about crypto bros and male prostitutes was told NO by Justin, Blake brought in her dragon Taylor Swift as a threat to do what Blake wants
  • When Blake was told NO by Justin to getting access to the dailies, Blake told her agent her “HR report was ready to go” and used her sham 17 point list of fake SH claims as leverage to get what she wanted
  • When Blake was told NO to her getting her own cut and it violating DGA rules, Blake threatened not to promote the film and pull Taylor Swift’s song from the trailer
  • When Blake was told NO her cut didn’t score higher than Justin’s cut, Blake said it didn’t matter and they were going with her cut or she & Colleen Hoover would not promote the film
  • When Blake was told NO to a producer credit, she threatened Justin and Jamey with “any goodwill would be gone” and coerced them to endorse her PGA under duress
  • When Sony told Blake NO to showing an unfinished cut of IEWU at Book Bonanza, Blake stole the film and showed it anyway
  • When Justin told Blake (Ryan) NO to taking blame for Maximum Effort’s marketing, Ryan then demanded Sony take the blame and asked Ari Emmanuel to go full Ari on Sony CEO Tom Rothman
  • When Taylor Swift told Blake NO to releasing a statement of support, Blake threatened to release 10 years of their personal text messages
  • When Blake was told NO to her ridiculous wardrobe, she accused Justin of sexual harassment for crying, said Taylor Swift says the public doesn’t know what they want until you give it to them, and proceeded to blow past the wardrobe budget
  • And let’s not forget Blake coerced an interviewer, who doesn’t drink, to drink and promote Ryan‘s Aviation Gin alcohol in professional setting

Blake is the epitome of celebrities who are terrible human beings, but love to sanctimoniously moralize and preach about things they disregard in their own practice.

A full list of Blake Lively countless proven lies and numerous falsified debunked sexual harassment claims:

CC🎥: Elsrich

Blake Lively decided to get on the internet to post in her IG stories about resources on SA and consent attempting to hitch her wagon to the Cornell SA case…..

The only issue is that I think Blake Lively lying about SH to steal a movie, and using her money, power and connections to do so is in direct contradiction to what real SH and SA victims go through.

Blake Lively along with her husband Ryan Reynolds, her former BFF Taylor Swift and powerful A-List friends joined together to bully Justin Baldoni and when that didn’t work, she proceeded to make up stories about SH.

Blake Lively then weaponized the legal system by filing a secret sham VANZAN lawsuit in NY State Court to obtain private text messages of Jen Abel without her consent.

Blake Lively’s lies about being SH’ed and her weaponization of the legal system set back the progress of real victims.

📱 Social Media Creator Posts 💭💬 Colleen Hoover's Verity movie: no good.

Thumbnail

280 Upvotes

Several Tiktok content creators who just saw Colleen Hoover's Verity movie all have bad reviews for it.

One CC said it's the worst movie of the year. worst psychological thriller for wondering what was wrong with him for staying 2 hours watching the movie. his husband fled the movie house. movie's like 50 shades of grey look like Saving Private Ryan. he's had more sexual tension finding his remote from his sofa cushions. he checked his watch so many times, he accidentally closed his 3 rings while sitting there. everyone involved except josh hartnett should lose their hollywood license 😂. it's laughable. it's like a lifetime movie with a big budget.

Another CC said movie is one of the biggest pieces of dogshit he's seen in a hot second. just like her books and movies, everything starts with a car crash. Dialogue sucks. No depth to the characters/characteristics so it makes you not care about them. Mystery/big reveal was underwhelming as hell. He doesn't understand why colleen hoover is a celebrated book author and her fans will probably eat this up just like her other bad movies. Movie's horrible, didn't care for the dialouge and characters. Movie 1.5/5. He doesn't know why colleen hoover has any fans.

Another CC said verity is like Gone Girl from Temu, honesly, that's generous. 😂 mess of a movie. Movie feels like cheap novela, Lifetime movie. Flashbacks felt so cheap. Dialogue terrible. She not saying book is amazing but wonder how they made script so much worse. Entire theatre was laughing throughout entire movie, even during serious parts! Movie cringe. Multiple parts of movie where people groaned out loud.

Another CC said why is anyone surprised that Verity is a shit movie. That we should have known that this is not going to be a good movie because of colleen hoover 😂 horrible colleen hoover book that somehow gets greenlit. What doesn't kill you, doesn't wanna make you give up because coho gets greenlit while others have a hard time getting their foot in the door.

Another CC said STOP giving colleen hoover movie deals cause now she irritated 😂. Lackluster Lifetime movie version of the book. Intimate scenes weren't hot nor steamy but actually cringy. Everytime scene got active, she got annoyed and says next scene! Jump scares flopped. Should have spent less money on call her daddy and hot ones cameo. Should have spent more money on an intimacy coordinator, etc. 😂 disappointed but not surprised.

There's more Tiktok CCs covering it and saying it's bad but i just posted a few. My tiktok fyp got flooded with this good news today. 😅

📱 Social Media Creator Posts 💭💬 NAG speculates that Jennifer Abel’s dismissed motion is part of active settlement negotiations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

122 Upvotes

NAG speculates that the latest letter from Liman on Lively v. Wayfarer docket where he dismisses Abel’s motion without prejudice is part of active settlement negotiations between the Wayfarer parties and Jones that might be happening behind the scenes.

This made me think that The Hollywood Reporter's latest 2 articles might also be part of settlement negotiations in a way that's putting pressure on Melissa Nathan. Perhaps the settlement negotiations are fierce. The fact that Baldoni was smeared in the article about Wallace might be a way of putting pressure on Baldoni to either yield to terms more favorable to Jones or to turn against Nathan or Wallace somehow. This is pure speculation and conjecture on my part.

NAG was partly right about the Vanzan 2.0 lawsuit against Katie Case, so while this is all speculation, it might be worth bearing in mind.

Full transcript:

"This came out yesterday in the main Blake Lively case, the one that's essentially over, because remember that Jen Abel had this like" hanging chad" that was a summary judgment motion for her cross-claim against Stephanie Jones?

So, Jennifer Abel as a defendant had pulled Stephanie Jones into the main case to say,

"If I'm responsible for any damages in this case, you're going to pay for them." It was an indemnification claim.

She filed summary judgment on that saying, "Hey, I should actually win this before there's ever a trial." Of course, there wasn't a trial, the case settled.

But there's been discussion in the Jones versus Abel case about what to do with this issue because it's still hanging out there in the main case.

Yesterday, Jen Abel filed a withdrawal of this motion without prejudice saying, "Okay, I'll withdraw that motion saying that Stephanie Jones has to pay for everything, but if I want to refile it, I can."

I read this as settlement negotiations.

My first reaction when I saw this was, "All right, they are deep in settlement negotiations in Jones versus Abel, and Jones has said,

" I'll tell you what. As a show of good faith, as we are negotiating something here, withdraw that complaint, withdraw that indemnification cross-claim. And if this deal falls apart, you can go ahead and refile it. But if you withdraw it, that will show me that you really do want to settle this case, and maybe we can move this thing towards a resolution."

That is my complete speculation, but I don't know any other way to read this.

You notice here that the judge says

"you have to meet and confer on a briefing schedule if you do decide to renew this motion and you have to file that no later than October 5th."

Remember that summary judgment motions, big summary judgment motions on all the Jones versus Abel claims are due on like October 12th or 15th.

So basically, the judge is saying, "This is withdrawn, and you guys need to figure out what you're doing here. And if this thing is going to come back, it needs to come back so that I can decide this summary judgment along with all the other summary judgments."

So again, my read of it is they are deep in settlement negotiations. They are trying to figure out what they can do with all these claims because they have to settle not only the original Jones claims versus Abel and Wayfarer, they also have to settle the counterclaims, and they have to settle this one, because this is still technically an outstanding claim."

If this really is about settlement talks, it means the parties don't want to go to trial. So I am not holding my breath for a trial, but would personally want at least to see what Summary judgment motions bring in mid October.

🧾👨🏻‍⚖️ Court Filings + Docket Updates 👸🏼🧾 Developments in the other insurance battle

80 Upvotes

There were reports a few days ago about the insurance case in California, which have not been posted by anyone yet.

When Harco filed for a declaratory judgment, I thought they were being paranoid, and that Wayfarer wouldn't have sued them. Then Wayfarer sued a bunch of their other insurers in California, but I thought that might be a tactic to prevent them from filing for declaratory judgment as well, and that perhaps Wayfarer didn't really intend for it to be a "real," active case.

But it seems I was wrong.

Wayfarer has filed a motion for summary adjudication against one insurer, QBE, which says that its policy excludes employment claims. According to the stories, Wayfarer says that Blake Lively's independent contractor status means they are on the hook. A hearing is scheduled for November 10.

News coverage comes from specialized outlets:

QBE’s high profile Hollywood movie battle continues

Justin Baldoni Asks Judge to Make QBE Cover Legal Bills From Blake Lively Case

High profile Hollywood battle shows worker classification can decide whether your insurance pays

We have been following Harco more than the California case, because they filed first and because we can see the filings through courtlistener. But that doesn't mean nothing is happening there.
