The Hollywood Reporter tries to both-sides the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni ordeal—while casually smearing an entire religion.

I’m sorry, you can’t accuse someone of SH bc they gave you the ick. 🧵👇🏽 Image THR suggests the entire controversy might be just a cultural misunderstanding. That Baldoni’s alleged behavior was simply a clash between his Baha’i faith and Hollywood’s post-MeToo workplace norms.

“Could everything that went wrong with the movie actually have been one big cultural misunderstanding?”

🤔

🚨 Screenshots are being circulated alleging that multiple actresses on It Ends With Us filed HR complaints against Justin Baldoni and that this is Blake Lively's smoking gun.

But let’s actually THINK for a second—because some things aren’t adding up besties. 🧵⬇️ Image 1️⃣ WHAT THE SCREENSHOTS ACTUALLY SAY

The circulating screenshots claim that Sony received additional HR complaints against Baldoni from other actresses on set (possibly Jenny Slate or Isabela Ferrer).

🚨 That’s it. That’s the whole big reveal. 🚨

But let’s ask the obvious questions:

WHERE WERE THESE COMPLAINTS BEFORE?
- Are they even real?
- If they are real, why weren’t they referenced in the CRD or Blake’s lawsuit?
- If multiple people filed complaints before the lawsuit, wouldn’t that have been major evidence in Blake’s case?

Why weren’t these included to bolster her claims?

The math isn’t mathing. 🤨Image

Let me get this straight…Ashley St. Clair had people running defense for her over a “mean girl” comment—secretly pregnant with Elon’s kid. Now she’s doing a PR tour from a $40K/mo apartment, publicly begging for a response?

The power trip was real. The fall-off is even funnier. “Elon, we have been trying to communicate for several days” is crazy. Sis, he’s ghosting you, not lost at sea. Image

What if I told you a federal judge wrote a novel smearing a real-life litigant—WHILE ruling on his case?

Sounds insane? It happened. And the Fifth Circuit just let it slide.

Here’s why Judge Stacey Jernigan’s courtroom is a legal cartel. 🧵👇 Image But this goes way beyond one judge—power players use the courts to enrich insiders and shut out anyone who challenges them.

Get ready besties, because I’ve been deep in the receipts on this case, and it’s absolutely insane.

🚨 Candace, Candace, Candace… you were so close. You had it—Taylor Swift’s PR empire, Ronan Farrow playing industry nepo-enforcer, The NYT running protection—but then you lost the plot. 🧵

Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively is a textbook NYT takedown—a playbook I know firsthand. You really think the NYT wouldn’t “risk their reputation” for Blake Lively? Girl. That’s not a risk for them—it’s their entire business model.

The NYT doesn’t make moves based on reputation. They make them based on who benefits.

And trust me, a lot of people benefited from taking down Baldoni.

I’m not a gossip reporter. I run a startup, and in 2 weeks I’ve pulled 3 all-nighters covering the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively saga after working my regular day.

Here’s why I’m going to keep covering it—and why you should care. 🧵 Image Smear campaigns are real. They’re designed to destroy reputations, ruin lives, and shift public opinion.

And while Justin Baldoni is lucky to have a billionaire backing him, most people don’t stand a chance when they’re targeted.

You might hate me for saying this, but creators are already moving on from TikT*k—and it’s not to 𝕏.

It’s a Chinese app called RedNote.👇🏽 RedNote, aka Xiaohongshu, is basically the Chinese owned version of TikTok mixed with Pinterest. And Americans? They’re downloading it like it’s Black Friday at Target.

People are giggling in bed setting up their profiles and asking Chinese users, “How do you feel about us being here?” The top comment? “In the club, we all fam.”

Just move to another platform’ or ‘build a new algorithm.’ That’s what lawmakers & the Supreme Court say about TikTok.

But TikTok isn’t just any algorithm—it’s the only one where anyone can go viral overnight. Here’s what made the TikTok algo as addicting as your toxic ex:🧵Image TikTok’s algorithm is built on discovery, not popularity.

When you post a video, it doesn’t care if you have 12 followers or 12 million. It shows your content to ~300 random people and analyzes their behavior:

Did they rewatch?
Did they finish it?
Did they share it?

Here’s my hunch: it’s POSSIBLE Baldoni’s deal with Colleen Hoover and/or Sony included a morality clause.

What’s a morality clause? It’s Hollywood’s way of protecting a project—letting them terminate deals if someone’s behavior risks reputational harm. 🧵 Image These clauses are common in high-profile contracts. They allow termination if someone’s actions—legal or not—damage a brand or project.

Possible Examples?
•Roseanne: Offensive tweets.
•Kevin Spacey: Misconduct allegations.
•Johnny Depp: Bad press & lawsuits.

Did you know the New York Times hasn’t lost a libel suit since the 1960s? And they never settle.

Is it because they never lie—or because the system’s rigged in their favor? The truth about media accountability will blow your mind. 🧵 Image Before NYT v. Sullivan (1964), libel law was basically a free-for-all. If you printed something damaging, true or not, you could be sued into oblivion. The NYT and other outlets were drowning in lawsuits.

After reading both Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni’s lawsuits, here’s my honest take—and why this hits close to home.

When I managed a house of TikTok stars, my job was to enforce the rules: no jumping off the roof into the pool, no stealing, everyone makes the content agreed to. Basic stuff, right? When I read Baldoni’s lawsuit, it hit close to home.

I’ve been there: labeled a villain in my own story by people I trusted to help build something great.

The saga continues: Blake Lively sues Justin Baldoni, following her Christmas Eve CRD complaint—dubbed a “dodge to avoid discovery” by Baldoni’s lawyers. Well, Lively’s team just said, “Hold my florals.”

What’s new, what they’ll have to prove, and is there a smoking gun? 🧵 Image First, the differences:

The initial California complaint was filed with the state’s Civil Rights Department (CRD)—basically step one to getting permission to sue.

This new lawsuit is a federal case filed in NY. It combines California laws with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, widening the scope.

Why NY? Interstate allegations: PR firms and media tactics operating across state lines.

Justin Baldoni is suing The New York Times, which hasn’t reportedly lost a libel case since the 1960s. As someone who’s also sued the NYT, here’s what stands out: texts show Baldoni told his team NOT to attack Blake Lively, & he claims the “list of demands” is 100% fabricated. 🧵 Image
Image Ryan Reynolds allegedly lost it on Baldoni in a meeting because Baldoni wouldn’t apologize for things he says never happened. The complaint basically says a Sony exec called it the most unhinged meeting of their 40-year career. Image

Listening to Nick Viall & co. dissect the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni complaint, it’s clear they see it as absolute and damning. But having lived through manipulative lawfare & PR myself, I know it’s never that simple. 🧵 Defending yourself when someone files a lawsuit full of accusations isn’t just hard—it’s a PR and legal nightmare.

I’ve been there. I sued Taylor Lorenz and the New York Times. I also took on a major Hollywood talent agency. Here’s what I’ve learned:

Earlier today, a client sent me an email about a company promising to “fix his Instagram” with 10k new followers a month—no bots, no password sharing. Sounds great, right?

As someone who specializes in short-form content, let me explain why it’s a terrible idea.🧵 These kinds of messages land in the inboxes of every business owner, coach, and creator I work with. They’re worded to sound like they’ve analyzed your account and are genuinely impressed. They promise growth and engagement without risk or effort.

Here’s how they operate (and why it’s a bad idea).Image

Some of you spent Christmas dragging Sriram Krishnan through the mud without knowing a thing about him. He didn’t stumble into tech’s inner circle—he built his path, brick by brick, from India to Silicon Valley. Before you embarrass yourself further, keep reading. You might learn something. 🧵Image Sriram Krishnan’s story doesn’t start in Silicon Valley. It starts in Chennai, India, where his family couldn’t afford a computer until he was 17.

When he finally got one, it cost his dad a year’s salary. Sriram taught himself to code using a pirated version of Windows.

I guarantee no one’s breaking down the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni complaint like this. Lawyers & PR teams are betting you’ll take their version at face value, but I’ve seen this playbook before—and I’m going to show you how it works. Buckle up. 🧵 Image Full disclosure: I take no pleasure in doing Bryan Freedman’s (Baldoni’s lawyer) job for him. This is the same attorney who repped a behemoth talent agency I sued once. But exposing Hollywood’s smear tactics? That’s a personal passion. So why not? 😅

Anyway, who can blame Freedman for being good at his job? I will call a truce to cover this fairly, just for you guys.Image

Let’s talk about Blake Lively’s “complaint” against Justin Baldoni. It’s NOT a lawsuit (yet), so why file it with the California Civil Rights Dept (CRD) first? Here’s what’s really going on—and why it’s possibly a strategic PR move from Team Lively. 🧵 Image Under CA law, if you’re claiming harassment or retaliation, you HAVE to file with the CRD first before suing in court. But here’s the twist: CRD complaints aren’t automatically public. So how did the NYT get their hands on it? 👀
