The Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds's wife) Controversy


chainsaw

Recommended Posts

Two things.. someone once said that Ryan Reynolds was just a lame corporate version of Jason Lee and I haven’t been able to unsee that ever since and Blake Livley is the way younger sister of the dude who played Rusty in National Lampoon’s European Vacation. That’s all I have for now.

The director also hired his friend to play a gynecologist and insisted on Blake being nude in the scene. There was no intimacy coordinator or any other support system for her. Normally you would go to the producers about something like that...but the director was also the producer.

The whole situation really fucked up and a prime example of how pervasive a force misogyny remains in the modern world. Like a lot of other things.

He’s also some D lister who should have considered himself lucky that Lively signed on to do this.

Instead, he was borderline rapey behind the scenes with a woman who is worth $350M and is very well liked and connected.

They have enough money to sport fuck him and I’m sure he’s already been black called.

FAFO…

What's weird is that it is his half sister.  But they share the same talent manager mom. 

 

Mom took the Lively name and liked it.  Kept it and remarried and the new husband changed his name.  So they share the same last name, but the same mom not dad.

At least that is what my internet sleuthing has told me this fair morn.

Something about Ryan Reynolds’s personality makes it hard for me to believe he’d be married to someone that’s a super bitch. 

It's hard for any of us to know what the guy is really like in his private life because what we see of him is carefully curated by agents, publicists, and armies of people who have a vested interest in the general public being in love with A-listers.

That said, I have lost count of all the kind, fun-loving, well-adjusted guys I know who ended up married to buzzkills or loonies. It's practically a trope, and it's also trope in reverse, where you see the sweetest, most beautiful women you know end up in loveless marriages with losers who're often abusive.

When it comes to Ryan Reynolds, I think we don't know shit about fuck except he's definitely not Box Office Poison

It is wild how, starting a few months, I started getting bombarded with "Blake Lively is a garbage person" clickbait. Don't have a Twitter account, don't visit reddit, only use Facebook for event planning with friends, never clicked on any of the links (or any Hollywood-related drama, for that matter), and it still finds its way to you on the peripheral of otherwise "normal" websites. Didn't have a clue--or care--what any of it was about until yesterday, but pretty crazy how easy it is to professionally push a narrative that gets through to almost everyone with internet access.

So, jizz jar filling?  Sheep gang-bangs?

if they don't share the same dad or mom, it's not his "half" sister, it's his step sister.

I don’t understand how this happens, I don’t really follow her but I know she’s an A-lister and married to a mega A-lister.  No one watches that movie with it her. How does she not say “fuck this shit, you need me far more than I need you.”

My unpopular opinion is that it probably doesn't happen, but I'll wait and see.

Bitch is hot as fuck.

Agreed, but it’s oddly hard to find hot gifs. Small tits and small ass and a face that while still pretty, doesn’t look great next to Taylor Swift(?!) and undoubtedly peaked 10-15 years ago… in her prime, she smoked Swift, but today .... 😬

She did just that, which is what led to this dust-up.

Overall, I would say this is a positive outcome of the Me Too era, in that this would have never been public a decade ago.  I can't comment as to what did or didn't happen on set, but this type of behavior, while not nearly as common as most people think, does happen on occasion, especially with low-level productions with inexperienced producers/directors involved.   You can almost always spot a newbie to the industry by how big of an asshole they are and especially with how they treat women.   Like any other industry, the people who are enjoyable to work with are the ones who stick around.  The assholes rarely get more than a couple of shots.  It's all word of mouth with no job security, and no one will work with you if you're a jerk unless you bring heavy-duty influence through financials or proven box office draw.  No matter what actually happened here, this director/producer's shot at a career beyond low-budget productions is toast.

One of the things that critics forget about MeToo and false accusations (which there have been) is that there used to be no accusations at all— true or false— because it was just the way things were.  It’s for sure better that we aren’t in that space anymore.

All I know is if Ryan Reynolds ever asks you to invest in something with him, do it. Man has the Midas touch. 

I’m gonna come clean here, and I apologize to everyone I lied to. Ryan actually wrote the business model and the IRS approval for Horns With Heart a/k/a Texas One Fund. It wasn’t me. Please follow Aces’s of Aces’s’s advice and invest heavily.

I don't think he was accused of hitting anyone. He committed the classic blunder of getting too chummy with a co-worker. He shared a side of himself that enjoys "locker room talk" and can't possibly be squared with his "feminist" public image, and when his friendship with her went to shit he hired the best goons to guide him through the PR minefield he anticipated and feared.

It was similar to (though never really went viral to the same extent) as all of the Depp/Heard stuff from a couple of years ago. I haven’t followed this closely, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the same PR people were involved in both.

Depp used the same PR women that Baldoni hired to smear Lively

so the Amber Heard comparison is interesting bc i never saw any kind of press about her until he/she testified and it seemed all the batshit craziness was just there, self-evident, straight from her mouth. i guess the fact the trial was even reported on to the extent it was could be 'bad pr'? but i mean...she came across as totally fake and wacko just from her own direct testimony, imo *shrug* 

and Depp may have come out victorious in court but he was also covered in crap with a career in shambles himself.

Defector's Kelsey McKinney (Texas alumnus) had a piece up about this around Christmas - gift link here: https://defector.com/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-mess-narratives?giftLink=befa894d6e5c332d54d08f9bd0ba4f6b

Someone asked what Lively's complains were about:

Quote

Included is a 10-claim complaint that Lively filed with the California Civil Rights Department last Friday, which lays out nearly a dozen upsetting moments of sexual harassment, including but not limited to walking into Lively's dressing room while she was breast-feeding, kissing her during scenes in unrehearsed and unscripted moments without permission, and demanding nudity not originally in the script.

That harassment was ongoing, and consistent enough according to her complaint that on Jan. 4, 2024, Lively convened a meeting with Baldoni and other important people, in which she laid out the inappropriate conduct in a 30-point document that detailed new rules for behaviors on set. It was an effort to try and make the set safer by codifying a bunch of behaviors that should have been standard. These were things like: "No more descriptions of their own genitalia to [Lively]" and "No more jokes or disparaging comments to be made to [Lively]" by Baldoni and lead producer Jamie Heath. Lively's complaint says that both Baldoni and Heath were in that meeting and are named many times in the 30-point document. Wayfarer, the film's production company, and Sony Pictures responded that "we find most of them not only reasonable but also essential for the benefit of all parties involved."

That plan of action, the complaint claims, was agreed to and signed by all the parties involved. Heath also signed a side-letter to Lively's contract promising that the studio would not retaliate against Lively for having taken action.

This guy seems like a real piece of work.

Probably why he's going on Megyn Kelly - time to get the alt right women hating men and the right wing women who hate other women on board!

Lively accuses Baldoni of “walking into her dressing room while breast feeding” but she left out the text messages she sent him to him where she says, “come over to my trailer so we can run lines, I’m pumping.” She also says that she was uncomfortable that he wanted to include nude sex scenes featuring an underage character (with an actress of age) but she neglects to admit that she changed her nudity rider during production to have final approval of the sex scenes of her character, including the underage teenage version of the character. Lively accuses the producer of showing her pornography on the set when it was a video of a home birth being used as an example for the birthing scene. She accuses Baldoni of purposely using his D-list actor buddy in the birthing scene to humiliate her, but she neglects to include that he is a trained actor with a Master’s Degree in Theater from UCLA.

Lively is pissed off that people had backlash against her for neglecting to speak about the domestic violence aspect of the story during PR for the movie so she could focus on talking about her makeup line she launched during the release of the film. The producer alleges Lively did not read the book so she did not understand the domestic violence context that some women identified with and wanted to talk in favor of pushing her makeup products. She’s Amber Heard 2.0. It just doesn’t help that the producer is using outlets like Megyn Kelly to get his point across so everyone that sides with him is being associated with that Fox News shit.

Lively absolutely does not want to talk about domestic violence and makes a joke about it when it was the central theme of the book. This interview shows an example of how she makes a joke about the entire thing.

He made most of his money in business not acting, primarily in Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile 

He'll still get $30M to $40M for Deadpool front and back end combined.

Also, little known fact, he was engaged to Alanis Morissette before he made it big.

Pretty sure everybody knows that.

Or were you being.... ironic?

I see what you did there.....

They were engaged 20 years ago so maybe not everyone knows or remembers.  She predated Scarlett Johansson.  Quite the resume, really.
