Blake should never be allowed to work again
Finished reading the timeline only to end up somehow even more disgusted with BL’s behaviour. This is not a story of assault, it’s an ego tripping actor misusing her star power to destroy a man’s career.
Blake:
Forced Baldoni’s name to be removed from the poster in a film that HE MADE (note that Blake and RR had been trying to secure the rights for the sequel for themselves)
Forced Baldoni and his team to reluctantly fire the 1st Assistant Director using her star power as leverage
Threatened to withhold promoting the film and permission for using her image in material if she didn’t get final editing cut (over the director!) and an undeserved producer credit, effectively extorting Baldoni and team.
Imagine how terrifying it was for Baldoni; working on your first major film, then your star begins making threats that will affect your career unless you fulfil her ridiculous demands. Make no mistake Blake was in the position of power here!!
When she did promote (using and overpaying her husband’s company that ended up inflating the studio’s budget) she invited everyone but Baldoni. Note that at the time many people were questioning why the cast seemed to be “avoiding” Baldoni.
Using the MeToo movement in an attempt to sabotage Baldoni, making a mockery of the women who have actually suffered from assault. How disgusting of a human being do you have to be to weaponise other people’s suffering for your own nefarious purposes?
And much more
What a vile, vile woman. Yes Baldoni can be a little cringe but he is a saint and bent over backwards over and over for Blake’s egotistical and vindictive demands.
Despite getting everything she wanted she still tried to end him by going to the NYT. Baldoni’s lawsuit is completely justified and I hope he gets the justice he deserves.
