Has anyone mentioned that Justin Baldoni had literally ZERO incentive to destroy Blake Lively? She was the star of his movie, which he owned the rights to, and he even said in press interviews that he thought she should direct the next one!

She communicated she was uncomfortable on set. Isn’t that documented? If that’s true and he feared she would take those complaints public , he was very incentivized to discredit her before that happened.

I’m talking about financially he had no incentive bc they wanted to make the rest of the books into movies. You can’t convince me that they played along gave her everything she wanted the whole time and then at the last second decided to bury her. Perhaps they took pleasure watching the karma unfold but I’m not convinced it was something they actively did.

For us, blunders are private. For celebrities, they're photographed for all to see. From Jennifer Lawrence's tumble to Justin Bieber's bad hair day, these photos show even A-listers have off days 👇

What exactly is Blake’s incentive to destroy Justin Baldoni?

I’m not sure but I feel it could have something to do with showing he breached some kind of contract he signed when he bought the rights for the book. Then Sony could make the rest of the movies without him? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I always took that as a passive aggressive comment coming from some kind of behind-the-scenes frustration (whether reasonable or not, idk), rather than any kind of compliment

Baldoni publicly said he wasn’t going to direct the next one—maybe passive-aggressive if she really made him wait in a basement at the premiere. But I think he planned to let Lively take over the rest of the movies while he stepped back and collected profits. Destroying Lively would destroy the project—and cost him millions. There are two more books in the series. Why would he risk that?

BL would get insulted over someone complimenting her pregnancy. She turns everything around & plays victim. No way is she a victim here but the perpetrator. Team @justinbaldoni all the way!

This is tough. It’s a he said-she said. Hard to judge a book by its cover, but is there ANY proof of his wrong doing?

Only so far that I’ve seen that his business partner showed his wife giving birth. Blake construed this as a producer showing her pornography. While perhaps the labor board may see this as potential harassed I just don’t understand if it was worth destroying Justin Baldoni’s life over.

Isn't this from the premiere where he was escorted off the red carpet when BL arrived? Justin has reacted with such grace to being iced & ghosted from his own film. Of course he suspects she wants a director credit on the sequel, she wanted a producer credit on his own film!
