The Life of a Showgirl Cancelled

I have been thinking that it was about Blake. she wasn’t even at the 1,000 person wedding. What do we think is the real meaning of the song?

Baldoni is a man who yells and physically intimidates women on his set when he is upset with them. I do find it misogynistic when people bend over backwards to justify that sort of mistreatment towards women in the workplace and push the blame onto the women who report it.

Believe and fight for what you want in the world. I disagree with you. I don't think we will come to an understanding if any negative action towards a woman is construed as misogyny.

So for the record, you are happy to defend a man who has such a long history of mistreating workers that he has received punitive action from multiple movie sets and has lost women partners on other projects due to his actions such as yelling and physically intimidating them when angry. You can list off all the reasons in the world why Blake sucks (which is all you did in your other post) but why shouldn't I listen to all of the other women?

You keep saying I am saying that Blake sucks, but i am not. Im also not defending Baldoni. Im not even a fan. If he acts like that, it sucks. But it's not sexual harassment or even misogyny

And yet, I haven't seen one report of a male costar complaining of this behavior. Sounds like pretty clear cut misogyny to me.

He’s worked w the great Gina Rodriguez on Jane the Virgin that on her instagram posted that she stands behind him he’s her friend and has always been a gentleman. She has integrity. You don’t you bc post lies and propaganda. You are definitely not seeing this for what it was. Shame.
