Scandals in Hollywood are nothing new, but only a few have taken as many twists and turns as the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who were co-stars in It Ends with Us. From s*xual harassment complaints to defamation lawsuits, the situation couldn’t get messier!
But it just did because a resurfaced clip of Lively is adding fuel to the fire. So, let’s dive into what exactly the footage suggests and how it can be damaging to the case filed by the actress.
Blake Lively’s footage from A Simple Favor
Candace Owens has been covering the feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni ever since it began. In her recent video, she referred to Ryan Reynolds and the actress as “perverts” after coming across their past actions. According to Owens, Lively cannot claim victimhood when her past footage shows her laughing about an unscripted improv moment.
Here, Owens is referring to a behind-the-scenes segment from A Simple Favor where Lively proudly admits to grabbing her male co-star’s crotch, and it’s an idea that she improvised herself. So, Owens argues that these actions contradict Lively’s current stance against being spontaneous in scenes that are intimate. Owen said,
Blake cannot claim to be a victim of sexual misconduct on the set of a movie while she openly brags about the unscripted sexual misconduct that she partakes in when she’s on the sets of movies. And that’s exactly what she’s done.
While putting forth this news, she also spoke about a legal term called the clean hands doctrine. Owens exclaimed that this argument prevents the opposite party from suing over something that they’ve previously indulged in, and she believes that it undoubtedly applies in this situation.
Candace Owens on Ryan Reynolds’ demands on set and Blake Lively’s PR
Candace Owens is accusing both Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds of alleged hypocrisy. She brought up that even though he is publicly defending his wife, the actor had their young daughter deliver crass jokes about Hugh Jackman’s genitals in Deadpool and Wolverine.
And what husband would not defend his wife when she’s being abused on set? He just happened to leave out the part—like her—didn’t contextualize—that while he was defending his wife, he was also simultaneously forcing his seven-year-old daughter to make penis jokes
Owens further accused him of manipulating his daughter and then doing several takes of the scene. On the other hand, she slyly praised Lively for getting her PR game up and partaking in activities that would make her look relatable and kind while distancing herself from Reynolds.
