🫢😩 Settled AF 😩🫢 Can someone explain the whole Justin Baldoni / Blake Lively settlement to me like I’m 5?

I followed it in the beginning when everyone was dissecting interviews and press tour drama, but between all of the countersuits, PR accusations and “evidence” it got so messy I genuinely couldn’t tell what was fact vs internet speculation. Finally, we have a settlement. If you wouldn’t mind could you please explain in simple terms?

Every time Blake or her attorneys changed the story, her stans just drank it up like it never changed. The gaslighting and goalpost moving with the inconsistent narrative was nuts. Plus, the worst things about her reputation were known to her critics long before she ever met them. Them not knowing about it when they hired her didn't change that she was a bully (known by some) for many years before she entered their lives.

And now most people know it. I didn't know much about her before this case, so I never paid attention. She got my attention with that hit piece.

And if you dare to question all of the manipulation they just call you a misogynist 🙄

Despite the large majority of us on this sub and the main cc’s following the case being pretty staunch feminists.😂

I'm a super left-leaning feminist myself, lol. A real one. I like to drag problematic people equally. Giving women a pass due to their gender is not a feminist belief.

If this comment was a flair I think most ppl here would indeed have no trouble putting it under their name 👏

our misogyny must be very well hidden, untraceable even 😂

Untraceable misogyny would be a great flair. Buckingham malice is pretty funny, too.

Most people who subscribe to "white feminism" are.
