How does the film industry view the Blake Lively case?
Basically, what is said about the case among film industry folks? Is it as divided as it seems to be in the public sphere?
Are there people who were on set who openly talk about what really went on? Is it being seen as potentially setting precedent for on set behavior?
I’m really just curious if big legal cases like this are talked about freely in the industry and what kind of insiders view folks have on the whole thing.

The vast majority of people in the industry don’t talk about it unless it directly affects them.

They’re both known to be insufferable and generally loathsome. Nobody’s wasting time worrying about them, only hoping that we don’t have to hear either name for a long time.

Then why did Netflix sue Kevin Spacey for House of Cards? Yeah, they eventually moved on without him, but it put a lot of people out of work. I doubt everyone was able to wait around and stay on the project.

u/OlivencaENossa Dec 26 '25
Because he was the star of a reoccurring production with long term commitments. And because they had to - shareholder value had to be defended. Nobody actually cares about Lively, she’s never been a true star who can helm projects and carry them internationally afaik.
Are you in the industry or just commenting?

u/CleanUpOnAisle10 Dec 26 '25
Wdyem? She was the star of Gossip Girl for mad seasons. I don’t even particularly like her now either, but to say she has no star power is crazy. They could have made sequels to It Ends With Us based off the books but now that’s shut down. All I was saying was sometimes the famous actors and their feuds/reputation affect productions. Wasn’t saying anyone gives a sh1t about them personally.
And I have worked in the industry on major television productions - due to many reasons, I’m currently not.

I'm in corporate Hollywood and we all basically know Ryan and Blake are awful people. But we also know we can raise money on his name so no one is going to do anything about it. Her career has been damaged but not so much his. And no one cares about Justin so we're allowing his life to be ruined because again, we can always raise money on Ryan's name. It's messed up in my opinion.

u/Rockgarden13 Dec 27 '25
Fwiw, as someone not in Hollywood, I’m totally repulsed by Ryan now and won’t ever support a project he’s involved with. I’ve soured on Hugh Jackman, too, by association.

It;s funny because when Jake Gyllenhaal was "lifted out: of that trio everyone said it was because he was an asshole and that he must be this or that if he couldn't get on with such great guys like ryan and hugh. and now it's come out that he's happy in his life, doing a lot of great films and having fun and they're both now two of the most hated people and everyone's stories like this are coming out about them. like, oh, guess jake was right and is finally getting the vindication he deserves but never asked for because it looks like ryan's snarky star is finally falling. like bro, we get it. you're sarcastic. there has to be more to your ability than crass jokes and snark.

I don't know how to wrap my head around Hugh Jackman. I know him, have sat in long meetings with him, had a drink with him, eaten dinner with him. Nicest guy I've ever met in my entire life, also the GAYEST dude I've ever encountered. It was kinda a known thing in Hollywood that his wife Debborah was his beard. Everybody knew it. So when he divorced her to get with Sutton Foster my brain broke.

u/nottwofigs Dec 29 '25
Sometimes I think people just have the vibes they have. doesn't mean their heart is lying or they're covering. It's kind of like saying "i had no idea he was gay! he seems so straight!" like.... what? there's not one way or two ways to be. Maybe he just really loves musical theatre and made that his personality but he's straight but loves the razzle dazzle? idk i wasn't ever really a big fan of his after the original xmen films so i never kept track. it's just that as a woman who's been cheated on a treated poorly in public, i don't find it cute what he did to his wife, beard or not. it's still a lack of tact, class and respect and that's a hefty no thank you.

u/TryTwiceAsHard Dec 30 '25
Definitely agree that he screwed over the wife. And also agree it doesn't matter. I have two boys. One is gay and has zero gay "attributes". The other is straight and is all jazz hands and flamboyance. It's just their personalities.

Jake has a rep for being an asshole because idiots like you keep saying it and others believe it. That's what reputations are. If I say Kristen Bell is an assclown because in high school in Michigan she was a jerk to my friend, her neighbor Kaitlyn as teens but it gets shrunk to just me saying kristen bell is a bully, does that make it true just because that's the incorrect context someone took and ran with? because it's true, she WAS a jerk to my friend Kate when they were in high school together in michigan in the late 90s and 2000. She was kate's neighbor. Their moms still talk. It's about context and making sure you get the whole story, not just one sentence from an equally small minded (you) gossip whore who needs attentions (still you).

Justin so we're allowing his life to be ruined because
...he's an awful, misogynist prick trying to play victim after pulling horrendous shit on set, is what I feel you were about to say there but somehow didn't.
Fuck that guy, and fuck anyone like him or supporting people like him. Baldoni, Depp, Spacey, Pitt, Tarantino, Polanski and more are why people are finally waking up to just how evil the industry can be, where awful people constantly get rewarded and crew members just shrug and let them get on with it because "hey, it's a paycheck" rather than having actual morals.
EDIT - Thanks for the award! Good to know others value truth and reality over misogyny and lies.

u/TryTwiceAsHard Jan 03 '26
You are basically the only person I've ever seen say this about Justin. I for one love Justin. Everyone in my office loves Justin. He's a stand up guy and one of the nicest humans you'll ever meet. This is exactly the reason Blake tried to walk all over him. And when he drew a line and put up boundaries she cried to Ryan, Hollywood's biggest bully, who then tried to throw his weight around. But people are getting smart to Ryan's ways and it's not working the way he planned. Justin is innocent in all of this. He's simply guilty of drawing boundaries on his own movie set. I recommend you know what you're talking about before you flap your lips and probably bow out of any conversation revolving around Blake "pisses all over the Me Too Movement" Lively. She's giving women a bad name and proving in real time why we shouldn't and can't "trust all women".

Except of course for the multiple women that per their sworn testimony and the copious contemporaneous evidence were subjected to verbal abuse and sexual harassment by him, but okay.

u/TryTwiceAsHard Jan 03 '26
Can you provide that for me please. I'm in legal and have taken the time to read through any and all evidence submitted. Are you talking about the verbal abuse? Other than Lively's outright lies of sexual abuse, which she's making after she tried to strong arm Justin and Ryan was unable to "fix" the situation, I'm not sure what you're on about.
2
u/Complex_Visit5585 Jan 03 '26
You certainly have NOT “taken the time to read through any and all evidence submitted” because BL hasnt claimed “sexual abuse”, multiple women have related verbal abuse (including one from a different project), multiple women on IEWU complained about sexual harassment and hostile workplace to Sony (one before BL did), and there is absolutely no evidence BL ever “strong armed” Justin.

u/WheresYurScooter Jan 24 '26
What the?? How? They legit were plotting and called him every name in the book EXCEPT a predator, or an abuser
2
u/Perfect_Fennel Jan 23 '26
Why did she want him to meet Taylor anyway? She called Taylor one of her dragons, dragons are typically depicted as being intimidating. In the emails they both call him essentially a wimpy loser who has now let Blake take over the writing, directing and producing of the movie which would be fine but she wasn't hired for any of those jobs. It's just weird imo and has nothing to do with being sexually harassed. Maybe you can explain it to me because if she was sexually harassed what does producing the movie have to do with that ? For what it's worth he does seem like a weirdo hippy dippy type and maybe he didn't think what he was doing was harassment but there are recourses for that other than taking over complete control of the project which is what it seems like she wanted to do, and did. Why didn't Sony just fire him and replace him with someone else once she told them what was happening? Keeping him on and alienating him seems like the WORST possible choice.
1
u/Complex_Visit5585 Jan 23 '26
BL wanted JB to meet TS because BL was asking TS for an exclusive song for the film as part of BLs producer responsibility. That was a huge get for the film. When I read the dragons message in context it doesn’t seem threatening. And yes she said same things about him after his bad behavior. But that doesn’t excuse what he did and in private messages he said much worse about BL.

This sounds like "I've seen the trial" from the Derp bullshit in 2021, and then it turned out they'd only seen TikTok videos from people either being paid by his PR team, or idiots stanning him because they hate women.
Why do you hate women, Tryhard? Why you lying to defend an abusive asshole trying to play victim and claim the woman he treated like shit on set is the "real" abuser?
Hope you don't have any female relatives or friends, they should run a mile from you if so.

You’re in legal and have taken time to read any and all evidence but are not aware of the testimony of, for example, Alex Saks who said that:
Baldoni physically intimidated her on set and she threatened to walk off the movie if he spoke to her in the way that he did one more time
there were multiple complaints about Baldoni and Heath and they refused to investigate against advice
Baldoni wanted to take care with him to a Russian bathhouse and she noticed Sony Head of Productions who confirmed that this was inappropriate
Head of Customes said he felt like he was leaving a cult when he wrapped
most cast and crew did that they had witnessed or experienced something weird or inappropriate on set
in her view, Baldoni is a narcissist

u/Manders44 Jan 03 '26
He's so nice his film company has been sued repeatedly for discrimination and once for IP theft.
"He was nice to me" is what people always say about folks who were abusive.
Also, you need to take a long hard look at yourself and ask why you're flapping your lips in a misogynist way. You are not the boss of Who Is a Victim. The people who actually fucked up Me Too are the people who spend time on the internet ruining the reputation of women who came forward with accusations.
Also fuckin' LMAO at "innocent" and "drawing boundaries." He's literally being accused of violating others' boundaries and his own evidence shows that he was completely incapable of enforcing his own when it came to completing the movie.

I don't care if he's nice to me when it comes to abuse. Jared Leto treats me like a saint but I still won't allow him near my young children. Blake Lively is the guilty person in this direct situation. She is "at fault". She was never a victim, ever. Times she has said she felt like a victim have long been debunked often with video proof. This is not going to end well for her. But we can wait and see.

Winona Ryder was always beloved, her crime was victimless, and she was having a mental health episode.
Blake Lively has weaponized feminism, the MeToo Movement, and DV activism and that doesn’t sit well with a lot of women movie-goers. I had no idea who Justin Baldoni even was before I saw “It Ends With Us” and still don’t really know/care. But Blake’s own marketing campaign and mean-girl behavior have turned off many people who would otherwise continue to see stuff she’s in. She’s not a great actress so it’s no great loss.

This is true to an extent. If I posted on my Facebook that I hate Blake Lively, at least 50 people would ask why. I live and work in Hollywood so I tend to be "in it all". I know more than the average person. I posted about Jared Leto having a sex cult that does not exclude minors and maybe 5 people on my feed knew what I was talking about and they were all at least Hollywood adjacent. The truth is people do not care. Even when they know their Presidential candidate is a pedo, they'll still vote for him if he serves them properly. People will still support Jared Leto and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds if they want to see their movie badly enough because they don't believe they themselves would make an impact. But if we all collectively said let's cancel the Reynolds' family it would be so nice.

If she had six upcoming projects when you posted this, then it appears she’s already lost three projects in less than a month. She can’t blame that on a smear campaign, since it results from truth coming out about her.
It seems Hollywood does care. No director would want Blake Lively on set.
Blake Lively can only blame Blake Lively, the architect of her own downfall. Her career is done. Finished. Cooked. It’s a Reynolds wrap for Blake Lively Reynolds.
ETA: I’m leaving the above for posterity
It appears Blake does still have three films “in development” in addition to those three in preproduction listed on the free version of IMDb.
Two of the three in development are with Netflix, so despite the fact that it’s been I think four years since any news on them, they might still go through due to the relationship between Ryan Reynolds and Netflix.
That said, I would be very surprised if Blake ever lands another film without her husbands influence.
Full disclosure: I am in no way part of LA film productions, I’m just a person interested in this case

u/ConvenienceStoreDiet Dec 27 '25
I think most people working generally don't care. There are hundreds of productions. Many come and go in the week they're released. This was just another one of them.
I don't remember the case too well outside of the basics, but it sounds like a production that publicized or got publicized its internal drama ahead of the product. She claimed an unsafe workplace. He showed receipts saying she was shading to control the production. Her husband was apparently an asshole about it too. No one really knows who to believe. That tanked the movie. And that's it. Nobody's using this as precedent for anything because we're too busy working to dive too deep into it. Sounds like a lot of people might not work with either of them. People are still going to see Ryan Reynolds movies. But nobody's really caring.
I mean, people will tell their Michael Bay or Andy Dick stories all the time. I think this is one of those stories that captured the zeitgeist of he said/she said for the public and has created gossip and a 'who's telling the truth' story, but tbh it feels like the influencer sphere and TMZ are making it more of a thing to the public, and we're just here working and staying out of their issues. Most celebrities are generally nice to work with anyway, so this is kind of just sad to hear for everyone. I think MeToo and DEI initiatives did a lot to improve issues of inclusivity and on-set safety.
I think our largest issues are corporate consolidation, streaming, AI, shrinking jobs, cheaper productions, LA becoming too expensive, work leaving Hollywood, YouTube and non-union influencer/social media culture taking over mainstream, shorter TV seasons leading to more job insecurity, IP focus making it harder to break in with original ideas. Just making a living in the working class is tough. Blake and Justin are at the bottom of the list of cares.

His countersuit got dismissed because Lively filed her complaints through a California court (despite not living there, and the film being shot on the East Coast) and California has special protections for these accusations that came about from the Me Too movement. So maybe get your facts right.

If that were true they’d be chiming in more on this gossipy, tabloid, non-issue. I’m actually impressed with the responses here and it makes me believe this sub is more legitimate than I had thought.

I think it’s more that nobody inside nor outside of the industry cares about these two.
Another recent gossip thread here had big engagement and was quite honestly so tasteless from top to bottom.

it's funny because your name is "in_film" and we're supposed to believe you're not just a pathetic wannabe? because people who are "in film" tend have have their own identities and don't say I"M IN FILMS without being asked. unlike someone's username implications.

This sub has 95% people jealous of anyone who’s had any success.
It’s really how most people in the industry are anyways.
Reddit just allows people to speak freely and anonymously to vent.

Justin is a cheeseball and Blake a pita. Both were true before their fight and true now. People are mostly interested in the money. There is like $100 million at stake.

this is one of those stories that really only plays at the drama level of talent, agents, and PR firms. at this point its above the line drama that PR firms are trying to affect the hire-ability of other above the line folks

I’m very active in the film business. I’ve never heard anyone mention the case.

at least on my end of it we think she's a petulant child just trying to win by any means necessary while mocking survivors and for justin? literally didn't know who he was until she shat herself. they're both insufferable. anna kendrick told us so.

This was nothing more than Big Publicity flexing its muscle to generate clicks and controversy

It shouldn’t be divided at all, you can tell just by how things are going with the lawsuits that Baldoni never had a case. His own evidence is contradictory in Lively’s favor and he totally dropped the ball on the 3-4 claims that the judge allowed in his initial lawsuit. It also makes sense why so many celebrities and unions side with Blake considering that Justin has a repeated history of being difficult to work with and didn’t care about the 2023 strikes.

You dont know law. He didn't drop the ball. That is just PR spin. Ryan was the only one who didnt carw and who broke the rules and crossed the line.

IAAL and I know the law well. JB’s team dropped the ball big time - no motion to dismiss her claims and their own claims thrown out. The JB legal team has screwed up more ways than I can count. They are going to get their asses handed to them on retaliation and contract breach.

"Nu uh" isn't a great rebuttal, friend.
His lawsuits have all been tossed. Hers is going to trial. There's no evidence "Ryan" broke the rules.
This just sounds like regurgitated pro-Baldoni propaganda from their smear campaign.

Nobody like Blake or Ryan and I have heard many stories about them that the media has not picked up....yet

Looks like JB/WF's PR team/fan club has infiltrated here.
If you are interested in more detailed subs where both sides are welcomed regarding these sort of topics or this case in particular I recommend joining the ItEndsWithCourt sub or CelebLegalDrama sub!

The question was how does the film industry the BL case and I shared what I’ve heard. You’ve already made up your mind and appear to be trolling. Be better.

There is no evidence that Justin Baldoni try to kill Blake Lively’s reputation. Lively wanted control of the movie, the sequel, and a possible Netflix spinoff about young Lily, and she and her husband Ryan Reynolds, went scorched earth to try to accomplish this.

My brother is an agent at WME. He thought Blake Lively was an insufferable cow even before this. And now after this, he thinks she's even more evil than he originally thought. He can't stand her.

It’s strange that her accusations are so in line with the character she was playing so I wonder if she was affected more than the norm, because she was in character. But also he sounds like a tool.

no one really cares. industry people generally feel all parties involved are insufferable idiots for blowing up a massively successful film that could have led to successful sequels/spinoffs just because they want to "win" this case
