I am sandwiching this post in before retiring, having had a particularly long day in what has been, and will continue to be, an excessively busy week for me. But I cannot resist imparting this. There is incontrovertible, written proof from earlier last year that @blakelively threatened @SonyPictures (if memory serves me correctly it's that company) that she would accuse @JustinBaldoni of sexual harassment via the @_newyorktimes_ unless they reversed their refusal to use her cut of the movie instead of his.
That these threats were recorded MONTHS before she did precisely that, leads me to conclude that there was no sexual harassment, that she was simply deploying that most dastardly of threats to manipulate, indeed blackmail, Sony into giving way to her demands. Then, having succeeded so brilliantly in stealing the scriptwriter /director/producer /actor's work from under his nose with that ploy, she then recycled the same accusation - knowing how incendiary as well as effective it was - using the same New York Times - in December, as she and her husband @RyanReynolds furthered - for their own benefit - their agenda of destroying the unfortunate Mr Baldoni's life with an accusation that cannot have been true, otherwise it would not have been doled out so opportunistically.
It is my firm view that people, who are taken advantage of, the way Lively is claiming she was, do not utilise their torment so patiently, conveniently and cynically. Also, no woman who has been sexually harassed by a man would then give him her baby to hold. As @piersmorgan said after Meghan Markle's liefest with Oprah Winfrey , I don't believe a word out of her mouth. I only hope he, @danwootton , @megynkelly and everyone else who is in a position to raise their voices to see that Justin Baldoni gets the justice he deserves, will call Blake Lively out on such contradictory and deeply disturbing facts.
@BryanFreedman, keep up the good work.
Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight.
