the Baldoni vs Lively/Reynolds lawsuit is EIGHT TIMES the amount of DeppvsHeard OH MY GOSH

[bigleoenergy]

The patriarchy is inescapable because people would rather jump to assume Blake Lively is either lying about being assaulted or wanted it initially just because she has a history of being annoying and mean over like actual evidence

mastermind activity is Ryan Reynolds dancing to Bye Bye Bye, by NSYNC {JUSTIN timberlake's group} in the opening sequence to his Deadpool & Wolverine movie, while he literally murders contracted special ops

Did you catching up with Blake and justin drama? Can't believe dany would be mention in this drama lol.

I did see Blake mention Dany, and I was not-so surprised bc Dany is a cultural phenomenon. Dany is a source of inspiration for the girls, gays, theys, and anyone who happens to understand or need political revolution. Blake is a woman, albeit a white wone but yes they too can love a powerful young female dragonrider who rises to where she is now on wit & belief in herself, from abuses conventionally used against children and women that would have killed her otherwise. As privileged as someone like Blake is, a woman like her is still going to have conditions of oppression. When oppressive or perceivingly oppressive stuff happens, all these groups mentioned will inevitably think of or mention Dany. I have from time to time.

Now whether or not she's simply mentioning Dany for public support (I know lots of people wondered or just believe so), idk. It could be BOTH that she always loved Dany or admired her and she sees how people hate her, sees PoCs and Black women love Dany (the demo that notably joined to say that Blake is a typical white woman manipulator or implied such from their own experiences coupled with Blake's very stupid choice to marry on a slave plantation), sees she could lose the war of public opinion like Amber Heard under Baldoni's smear caimpaign, and choose to publically try to drawpeople in simultaneously.

Either way, unless she makes a pattern of just throwing beloved female characters on the wall & demonstrates insincerity, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

[yourgoldennotebook]

you know what gets me? it isn't that justin baldoni is a fucking creep. he's a white man who likes to randomly sage people against their consent, fine. but the fact that this premeditated, targeted smear campaign was spearheaded by two women who knew, in no uncertain terms, precisely what this man and his buddy, jamey heath, were doing? i feel violated and betrayed and disgusted on so many different levels.

Smear Campaign Against Blake Lively Real? | BLAKE LIVELY VS JUSTIN BALDONI

My short opinion is the question would be no. Given the subject matter of the movie she was starring in it would be ridiculous to promote a beverage line and hair care. The movie is an adaptation of a book that discusses the tribulations and psyche behind a domestic abuse victim. Transitioning from victim to survivor and the struggle that came with such trauma. It was tacky and distasteful when…

[saveme-storybrooke-potc]

So what's everyone's opinions on the Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Justin Baldoni drama?

[nottcommitting]

i find all of this absolutely insane too because Justin Baldoni literally has a non profit organization / podcast about men showing accountability. is Man Enough a fucking joke to him????

BLAKE vs Justin: TRIVIALIZANDO de ROMPIENDO EL CIRCULO

La pelea de Blake Lively y Justin Baldoni es fascinante desde el enfoque de relaciones públicas y de marketing. "Rompiendo el Círculo", una película que trata sobre la violencia doméstica, tuvo una campaña promocional caótica. Por un lado, el director de la película, Justin Baldoni, hablaba sobre el tema central, mientras que por otro, Blake Lively y el resto del elenco, incluyendo a la autora del libro Collen Hoover, han sido acusados de trivializar el tema de fondo promocionando la película como si fuera una película romántica que puedes ver con tus amigas. Todo este drama detrás de fondo aun no termina, pero ya está malogrando la reputaciones de ambos.

Astro Observations

power & deception

🎲 Having multiple squares to Neptune with someone in a synastry chart—be VERY careful. These people may not have your best interest at heart. Or your perception of them could be skewed in some way. Nonetheless, there could be hidden things that could hurt you or the relationship.

🎲 North/ South Node square Sun natives are constantly torn between who they are and who they think they should be, leading to a lifetime of identity struggles. In low-vibrational energy, they deceive by creating a false persona—shapeshifting to fit in or exaggerating their achievements to feel worthy. Can end up living a lie just to avoid facing reality. E.g. Tila Tequila. She also has her Sun at 0°. I've discussed the 0° here & here.

🎲 Mars square Jupiter in a man’s chart—he rarely spends money on anything that doesn’t serve his interests. The type of man who buys drinks for the girl he wants to get with, only talks to her, and acts as if her friend is invisible. This aspect is also common in guys who think women only want them for their money.

🎲 For North/ South Node square Neptune natives, reality is slippery, and they struggle to find clarity in their life path. When low-vibe, they deceive through delusions, gaslighting, and playing the martyr. May lie compulsively (even to themselves), rewrite history to fit their narrative, or pretend to be more lost/ helpless than they really are to gain sympathy.

🎲 8th and 12th House synastry can be tricky in non-romantic relationships. Mars in 12th House - Mars could be secretly plotting your downfall; Pluto/ Jupiter in 8th could benefit from the 8th House person's losses. Of course, it depends on the morals of the other person, but the energy/ opportunity is definitely present here.

🎲 Pluto square Mercury natives are sharp-witted and adaptable. They may shift their personality depending on what gains them the most influence. There might be a huge gap between how they present themselves to the world and who they truly are. E.g. Bobbi Althoff saying, 'being myself doesn't get views, I had to go where the money was'.

🎲 Everyone talks about how Capricorns are obsessed with climbing the success ladder, but Sagittarius (Suns/ Stelliums) are by far the most cutthroat when it comes to business. They often work in silence & in the shadows until they've built an empire. If they're good people with a strong moral compass, this is a great placement. However, I've seen a dark side of this in public figures. These people know how to sway public opinion. They're good at covering their tracks. E.g. Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj (both Sag. stelliums). Taylor Swift releasing new versions of her albums coinciding with other popular female artists' release days (Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Billie Eilish, to name a few). Min Hee-jin, ex-CEO of ADOR, falls under the most unhinged spectrum of Sagittarius: a creep & a bully.

• These people often exhibit a 'shoot first, ask later' mentality, especially in conflict or business. Nicki Minaj’s social media meltdowns are a glaring example of this. The Taylor-Scooter situation is a prime example. It was purely business, and Taylor’s own father had significant control over her label. He could’ve stopped the deal, but instead, she took the opportunity to paint herself as a victim and turned it into one of her most commercially successful eras. I'd bought her narrative too and only looked into it after Candace Owens talked about it in one of her Lively vs. Baldoni episodes.

🎲 Nessus (7066) square Jupiter has a complicated, sometimes toxic outlook on abundance. They might pride themselves too much on living a simplistic/ minimal life. They might feel guilty for desiring luxury. Contacts with Saturn may indicate that it was internalized since childhood, likely because of the father. Positive aspects, particularly trine, would be helpful in healing and creating a more balanced approach to material things.

🎲 Destinn (6583) square Saturn is so draining. You have this idea that you're destined for big things, but it seemingly takes a very long time to manifest. It's a tiring journey of setbacks, blockages, and important lessons. Hang in there!

I’m reading the lawsuit now. I’m not sure. How can I tell if it’s legit vs lies?

Genuine thanks for this question and not just immediately assuming that she's lying.

Look, at the end of the day, none of us were there. The only people that know what truly went down are the people that were on that set (which is true of any lawsuit), but here's what's really convincing me.

First things first, Baldoni hired Melissa Nathan back in August to run his public relations (and this article even mentions the allegations that he made Lively uncomfortable). Nathan worked for Johnny Depp during his defamation trial against Amber Heard, and it has been found that a technique called "astroturfing" was used against Heard on social media during this trial. Astroturfing is defined as "the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from members of the public." Basically, artificially creating hate or hype for a public figure but making it seem organic. If you remember the Depp/Heard trial, you remember how much social media seemed to turn against her. If you remember this summer, you remember how much social media seemed to turn against Blake Lively. The fact that the same public relations team was on the other side of both alleged smear campaigns is a red flag.

Second, the text messages that have been released between Baldoni and the PR team are, in my opinion, incredibly damning. One member of the team, Jennifer Abel, texted Nathan "I think you guys need to be tough and show the strength of what you guys can do in these scenarios. He wants to feel like she can be buried." Nathan responded "Of course - but you know when we send over documents we can't send over the work we will or could do because that could get us in a lot of trouble. 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. You know we can bury anyone." Right below are some screenshots from the New York Times article:

Later texts also involve praise for this article

Now, is it possible that all of these texts have been faked? Of course. But they are also lengthy (I did not include all of them here) and considering what I mentioned above, unlikely.

Thirdly, I'm just considering who has more to gain from this. I will admit my own bias here - I've never bought the idea that women by and large make allegations to become rich or famous or to gain sympathy. Amber Heard is probably still one of the most hated women on the planet. Name five of Bill Cosby's accusers off of the top of your head.

But what does each party have to gain? If Baldoni loses this case and is found in the public eye to have sexually harassed the women on the set of It Ends With Us, that's probably the end of his career. As far as I know, he doesn't have the industry goodwill that Roman Polanski or Woody Allen or even Johnny Depp do, and he will most likely start losing acting and directing roles. If he wins, and the public decides that Lively is lying, his career won't be destroyed. It will almost certainly have been set back, and there will always be people who'll look at him differently, but overall he should be fine. He may even gain a new fanbase.

If Lively loses this case and is found to have been lying, her career is tarnished forever. She will undoubtedly be known as the "next Amber Heard," and she will lose out on acting roles. The taint may even carry over to her husband. If she wins, and the public decides that Baldoni did in fact sexually harass women on set, she will probably be fine. Like Baldoni, there will always be people who'll believe that she was lying, but she'll be overall fine. However, it's important to note that she had a third option: to not pursue this at all. If she chooses not to pursue legal action against Baldoni, both of their careers remain unimpacted. While there would still have been a negative public perception of her, it probably would have blown over eventually. A lawsuit and possible trial is much more permanent in people's memories. So to me, the fact that she's choosing to pursue this knowing what the outcome of her losing would be speaks volumes.

Finally, the fact that her lawsuit states that other women on set were harassed and felt uncomfortable. Again, could be a lie, but that is a lie that is very easy to disprove. And if the women who worked on this set testify that they never felt uncomfortable, that will permanently damage her case. It just feels like too much of a risk to play with if you're lying.

Of course, don't just take my word for it - do your own research, seek out differing opinions, etc. but those are my views. I hope they helped in some way!

[yourgoldennotebook]

i think that a lot of us (including me, and i am trying to educate myself otherwise) believe that social media bots and mass smear campaigns look a lot different than they actually do. it's about conversations they start, and continue to have. they add nuance to make it believable. people want to go viral, and they help them to encourage more discussion on a topic they create the fodder to manipulate.
