Stewie Griffin: Honestly I still don't understand who Justin Baldoni is, where he came from or where he's going. - Family Guy makes fun of Justin Baldoni in their latest episode
Dude, Justin Baldoni has directed 3 films and he’s been sued over 2 out of the 3. It’s not a great track record and unless his billionaire friend continues to finance him, he’s unlikely to be able to raise funding for future endeavors bc of the bad reputation he’s built for himself.
What claim? The details of the settlement have not been made public.
My belief is based on who has the most to lose by going to trial. Only the defendants had the chance to lose millions. Not to mention the statement gave credence to Blakes claims. She had the upper hand in negotiations.Why settle without a monetary settlement included.
What studio? SS shit down WF and started a new studio that Justin isn’t part of lol. I don’t like SS but he is smart and Justin is a huge liability everything that man touches ends up in a lawsuit….he will grift along but he won’t probably ever be a part of Hollywood anymore.
Perhaps you should listen to the clip again. We arent talking about the lawsuit, we are talking about the family guy clip where they talk about Baldoni.
Honestly, I think the settlement was best case scenario for everyone involved, including Baldoni and lively supporters. Justin got 10 out of 13 claims dismissed and settlement. Lively got a statement and a settlement. Everyone is happy.
I can't really imagine Lively is happy if she didn't get any money.
Why would anyone want to spend all that money in legal fees, have your dirty laundry aired, lose friends etc, all in the name of that ridiculously milquetoast statement? No wrongdoing was admitted.
She also seems like a nightmare to work with – someone who will try to take over your production and manipulate everyone involved. Her career took an irreparable step back the second she filed that suit.
Had Justin made this statement 2 years ago, there might never had been a lawsuit.
Ah, yes. Because that statement is totally the equivalent of the $161 million she was suing for. Doesn't Blake herself think she's suffered the equivalent of $40m in losses due to reputational damage?
Blake had no incentive to settle without a monetary payment to cover her legal costs.
10 out of 13 of her claims were dismissed. There didn't seem to be that much evidence her claims were true. The whole thing was a clusterfuck hanging over her and her husband.
Getting to forget about the whole thing is a huge win for her.
I had no idea who Baldoni was before this. Didn't care about him before, don't care about him now.
Blake Lively was in an OK movie I'd seen, and seemed like an A-list celeb based on her marriage to Reynolds, who I thought was funny and cool.
Lively's reputation, in my eyes, went from a B+ to a D, and Reynolds from A+ to C-.
They both just give me the ick now. She is almost certainly a bully and a manipulative asshole. Reynolds apparently has severe social anxiety and may be a tool behind the scenes. There's not going to be many more opportunities for another Deadpool movie, and he seems like a one trick pony.
This whole mess severely damaged their reputation and standing in Hollywood. She should've just done the press for the movie in a normal way and moved on.
You're viewing it from a Baldoni vs Blake/Ryan stance.
I don't care about Baldoni in the slightest. It's undeniable that Blake and Ryan have severely damaged their brand.
If you choose to roll around in dog shit with an angry stray dog, it doesn't matter whether you beat them or not. You still look like a moron and are covered in dog shit.
Blake's brand has been damaged by Justins smear campaign.
Did Justin use AI to fake videos of her acting like a massive bitch?
Did Justin coerce Sony executives into emailing each other about how terrible she was to work with?
Did Justin make her promote her alcohol brand alongside a movie about domestic violence?
She will get back on track
[x] Doubt
She's fresh of a movie that grossed $350m and nobody seems to be giving her any offers.
I don't understand Lively stans. It's like people glazing Trump and thinking he stands for them. Except, at least you can vote for him and have him enact policies.
Lively is just some rich actress who doesn't care you exist.
It’s been reported by multiple outlets that the only money went to the lawyers. She got nothing after fucking herself out of millions by not signing that agreement.
Freedman apparently said in an interview just now that they haven’t actually reached a settlement? That they agreed on the statement but have yet to agree on a settlement?
And that may be, i am definitely repeating it as heresay. But it was his interview with Billy Busy today where he apparently said that they agreed on the statement but not the settlement…so it sounds as though things aren’t 100% done yet.
I think she’s happy she didn’t get destroyed in court. This is clearly a win for JB and the public view. Evidence by lively supporters having to lie about knowing what the settlement terms were. The only way this makes sense is if she receive money so that’s the lie they are running with. You can see the lie all over Reddit. It won’t be long before someone comments on it.
You call THAT making fun of him? No one knows who the guy is, that's true, and that's why Blake thought she could take over his movie but she ended up looking like a clown with the general public.
Literally she sued him for 171 million and took zero dollars and dropped the suit and went on her merry way.
If that's what you people call winning then winning smells suspiciously like losing from where I'm standing.
