They went over the plan on the phone and sent him a document, to which he text them saying, not sure I’m feeling the Protection I felt on the call.
Mr. Nathan responds saying, that’s the most important part of this is how quickly they can shut things down and play stories in your favour.

Later that day, Miss Abel and Miss Nathan exchanged the following text messages expressing that Mr. Baldoni wants to feel like Miss Lively can be buried. One of the text message shows them saying,

We can’t write it down to him. We can’t write. We will destroy her. Imagine if a document saying all the things that he wants ends up in the wrong hands.

And then there’s this conversation between him and a team member, Miss Able. He says, this is what we would need. She responds, yes, I literally just spoke to Melissa about this on break. About what we discussed last night for social and digital focus on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram. Probably the worst of this is his team texting one another, Melissa saying, the majority of socials are so pro Justin, and I don’t even agree with half of them.

He also goes on to say he doesn’t realize how lucky he is right now. We need to press on him. Just how effing lucky? Whispering in the ear, the sexual connotations, other members feeling uncomfortable watching it.

I mean, there is just so much…

Less than a week later, they’re bragging about how they shut stories down regarding HR complaints on set.

“Jen, this went so well, I’m effing dying. I have to call you later in a bit and tell you how this went. It was genius. Then there was this article that came out, is Blake Lively is set to be cancelled?”

String of hard to watch videos that Have resurfaced following tone deaf Q&A to promote it ends with us. Alyssa sends the article to Jennifer. Jennifer responds, wow, you really outdid yourself with this piece. Peace. Which Melissa responds, that’s why you hired me, right? I’m the best. Now let’s get into some of the complaints made about his alleged behaviour and the meeting that they had, which happened after the strike and right before they began re-filming.

I jumped ahead to page 13 of the complain where it talks about his alleged behaviour on set and how he didn’t provide them a safe environment, especially in those scenes. At one point, they were filming a slow dance scene. There was no sound recorded, and he decided to not act in character, but acted as himself. At one point, he leaned forward and slowly dragged his lips from her ear down her neck, saying, it smells so good. None of this was remotely in character or based on any dialogue in the script, and nothing needed to be said because again, there was no sound. She later objected.

He responded with, I’m not even attracted to you. When he started to improvise or add those type of scenes, she objected and he insisted that he added them because he was making the film through the female gaze.

He agreed to remove the scenes, but made a last ditch attempt to keep one where the couple together on their wedding night, which he said was important to him because he and His partner climax simultaneously. During that, he then intrusively asked whether she and Ryan Reynolds also simultaneously, during which she found invasive and refused to discuss.

Now we jump into the meeting with Ryan Reynolds that happened after the strike and before they began re-filming some of the list of demands such as: Was no more describing his area to Blake Lively. He also said that an intimacy coordinator must be present at all time on set and then talks about stuff that she did not want happening again while filming. Stuff like no more personal physical touching of or sexual comment by Mr. Baldoni or Mr. Heath to be tolerated by Blake Lively and or any of her employees as well as any female cast or crew without their expressed consent. No more improvised kissing as well as biting and sucking on her lip without her consent, and all intimate on camera touch and conversations must be in character not spoken from Mr. Baldoni to Blake Lively personally.

Apparently, there were also people coming in and out of the set that were not supposed to be there during intimate scenes that were friends of the director and producers which were not approved by Blake Lively.

No. 20 says no more entering, attempting to enter, interrupting, pressuring or asking Blake Lively to enter her trailer or the makeup trailer by Mr. Heath or Mr. Baldoni while she is nude for any reason.

No. 21 Is definitely interesting. It says no more private multi hour meetings and Blake Lively’s trailer with Mr. Baldoni crying with no outside. Blake Lively appointed representative to monitor. Once the meeting was over, everybody had agreed to everything that was mentioned. They resumed filming the following day and ended filming on February 9th.

Now here’s why marketing was brought up. Sony had given them a plan on how to market the movie saying they wanted it to focus more on Lily’s strength and resilience as opposed to describing the film as a story about domestic violence. And to avoid talking about this film that makes it feel sad or heavy. It’s a story of hope. In the days leading up to the films release, Mr. Baldoni abruptly pivoted away from the films marketing plan and the types of publicity activities in which he had previously participated.

What the public did not know was that Mr. Baldoni and his team did so in an effort to explain why many of the films cast and crew had unfollowed Mr. Baldoni on social media and were not appearing with him in public. To that end, he and his team used domestic violence survivor content to protect his public image. As described in further detail below I‘m only on page fifteen. But clearly there was a lot that happened on set.

In the scene where Blake Lively’s character was giving birth, Baldoni wanted her to be unclothed, even though it wasn’t in the script. He insisted that his own wife ripped her clothes off during labor, and it’s not normal for women to be in a hospital gown when giving birth. He disagreed, but felt forced to compromise and ended up being naked from the waist down during the birth scene. She said it was chaotic, crowded, utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes, such as choreographing the scene with an intimacy coordinator, having a sign nudity writer, or simply turning off the monitor – so the scene was not broadcast to all crew on set.

They also said that Mr.Baldoni and Mister Heath failed to close the set, allowing non essential crew to pass through while she was mostly nude, with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her area.

He became even more alarmed when Mr. Baldoni introduced his best friend to play the role of the OB GYN, when ordinarily a small role of this nature would be filled by a local actor. He felt the selection for Mr.Baldoni’s friend for an intimate role in which the actor’s face in hands would be close proximity. To her area for a birth scene was invasive and humiliating.

On page sixteenat the bottom, it talks about one time where allegedly she was in the car with her driver, her assistant and Justin Baldoni and he talked about how with an ex girlfriend he was SA. After talking about that, at the very end he allegedly said:

“Did I always ask for consent? No. Did I always listen when they said no? No.”

Allegedly he went on to say that this was an example of how we all have things from which we can learn and grow…

Blake Lively was unsettled by Mr. Baldoni’s suggestion that he had engaged in that kind of conduct without consent. Number forty two talks about how he engaged in behaviors that were shocking and emotionally distressing. For example, he claimed he could speak to the dead on several occasions. Told her he had spoken to her dead father. Was off putting and violent. For Mr. Baldoni to claim a personal relationship with her recently deceased father. Also goes on to say that Mr Baldoni and Mister Heath were constantly hugging and touchingcasting crew. When Miss Lively or others avoided this touching, Mister Baldoni and Mister Heath would retaliate by becoming irritated,cold, uncollaborative.

No. 44 talks about a moment where he made Blake Lively uncomfortable with his comments

No. 45 said that another cast member lodged a sexual harassment complaint about Mr. Baldoni’s gross and unwanted comments towards her and Others this is very uncomfortable because if you remember in the first part where I went over the fact that he was crying in her trailer, this is the reason why on the second day of filming, Mr. Baldoni made the rest of the casting crew wait for hours while he cried in Miss Lively’s dressing room. Claiming social media commenters were saying that “Miss Lively looked old and unattractive” based on paparazzi photos from the set, she tried to reassure him that she should look authentic in the scenes depicted in the photos, which were just after her character had been abused by her fictional husband. Rather than trying to look hot, however, his focus was that she would have a sexual appeal above all else.

Lawsuit says that Blake Lively tried to have a meeting with Mr.Heath to discuss Justin Baldoni’s behavior, but instead of setting up a time and place, he showed up unannounced at Miss Lively’s hair and makeup trailer while she was topless and having body makeup removed by makeup artist.

Miss Lively told Mister Heath that she was almost done and they could meet once she was clothed, but Mister Heath, however, insisted that if she didn’t allow him into her trailer to speak to him at that moment, there would be no meeting with the other producers.

Lively reluctantly agreed, but asked that Mister Heath keep his back turned. A few minutes into the conversation, Miss Lively noticed that Mister Heath was Staring directly at her and she was topless. When she called him out, he brushed it off, saying it was a habit of wanting to look at a person while speaking to them.

Miss Lively and her hair and makeup artist were all deeply disturbed by this interaction on just the second day of film. It goes on to say that the two men continuously did this to her. And also that Justin Baldoni constantly made her feel bad about her weight and looks.
