When people can't control you anymore in general they try to control how other people view you, apply that where it fits.

I am sick of hearing and seeing it. It is everywhere. So what. Another rich person wanting their name every place. Her husband was on the set a lot. Why didn’t he step in. This all about money.

[cherylcosgrove]

She didn’t need any help ruining her reputation. She did it all on her own.

[doodlesbydannie]

It’s incredible how hard they’re trying to make Baldoni fall… really suspicious.

How ironic. Movie about Abuse, ends with a lawsuit about abuse. How disappointing.

Steph Jones (SJ) is a slimy person as well. The only reason BL isn’t suing SJ is because she handed BL the text message needed and SJ wanted to destroy Jennifer Abel.

No, her reputation got ruined because she acts totally careless during important interviews

Funny how she didn't mention anything the entire time she was plugging this movie.

Always drama around Blake lively and everything she does there’s been absolutely no drama around Justin until this film! The PR firm she’s not suing and the text messages were between PR representatives. He wasn’t involved in them.

DRAMA aka Blake has managed to completely make this all about her and NOT about DV which is a serious issue that NEEDS to be talked about!!! I hope someone makes another movie and actually preserves the integrity of such a serious topic!!!

[beccab]

She ruined her reputation a long time ago. It's been known she's a brat and entitled. More so, now that she's married to Ryan. Whether Justin did this or not, this whole ordeal is quite embarrassing on both ends. She never apologized to the women she offended either and they could've easily sued her. No one will ever want to hire her or him due to this. It would be too much of a liability for actors and production companies.

Why does this feel like another Amber Heard 2.0 case drama? I loved the film but this is just a no no

[gayathrivadivelu]

Mrs Reynolds is trying to play victim.

[northern]

Blake is actually a bully check her history!!! Just recently she also bullied the Princess of Wales, she is trying to play victim when in fact she is despicable THEN AND NOW!!

[joendeo]

Lively is butt hurt that she ruined her own reputation.

[nancywilliams]

Blake doesn't need anybody to ruin her reputation she does it all herself. Can't stand her

[fayochrist]

I don't believe this story, i don't know the actress only from her interview and body language but the one thing i know a victim doesn't wait the public opinion to ruin them to react instead once it ruin you the swear of speaking comes in and you just want people to forget, you don't look for new reasons for them to remember. In second place if that was true, the movie would have stopped before coming out and lawsuit started immediately given her status, she seems a very strong person in character so i don't think she's the type to take in and wait, this whole drama is bullshit and waste of time and money

[blissgr]

cancel her already.. enough with her BS.

MOMMY WAKE UP RICH PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING AGAIN !!!
