I guess people do care. Despite insisting that they don't care. And this is all a "nothing burger."

At its peak this sub had almost 100k visitors a week

Then it went downhill

A few weeks ago 40k weekly visitors

Now the sub is at 9k

And continues to drop

Where did everyone go??

Was this article from 2022 part of the "smear campaign"? 🤭

Everything that's in this article is happening now.

How many pics have we seen of Blake and Ryan since the settlement? 🤔

The very organic piggyback ride captured in the New York streets, the frozen yogurt dates, the over the top flirty Instagram story posts, the OnlyFans jokes, Blake grabbing Ryan's non existent ass etc

All PR.

Justin did one pap walk with his wife after the settlement news and disappeared.

Blake and Ryan are back to monetizing/leveraging their relationship

Excerpts are from Colleen Hoover’s family friendly book IEWU

​

​

I think they're sending out mixed messages so people will be shocked when Blake pops up at the wedding

​

What a waste of time. Just do a pap walk with the "terrorist" (thank you Sony!) and call it a day.

​

Why do these White girls always have to be so extra? lol Always plotting. Always planting "easter eggs."

​

Blake, Ryan and Taylor are the same person. Own it. Live happily ever after.

I followed Bart before this case (I'm blocked now for asking him how Blake's case is going 🤣) and always thought he was relatively normal. Then he completely crashed out on social media a few months ago, insulting Justin, and showed everyone he's cut from the same cloth as Blake and Ryan. He actually made things worse for Blake in terms of PR.

The funniest part was watching him try to paint Blake as some powerless stay-at-home mom with no influence on set.

A stay-at-home mom with multiple nannies, married to a multimillionaire, while also being a multimillionaire herself.

Honestly, stay-at-home moms around the world should rally around Blake Lively. She's just like you! She doesn't even have time to read Colleen Hoover's book or any book because she's so busy being a stay-at-home mom and a "girl boss."

Thanks for letting us know, Bart! That definitely changes everything. 🙄

Hey, at least we got confirmation that Ryan doesn't want Blake to get more acting roles. He wants her to be a "stay-at-home mom". Just like we all suspected.

Scarlett Johansson's career was bigger than Ryan's, and she wouldn't dim her light, so he went after 22-year-old Blake Lively and groomed her into the partner he actually wanted.

Btw, at no point has Justin’s family bashed Blake (Ryan).

Justin’s in-laws and immediate family have remained silent throughout this case.

The case might be over, but the back and forth will never end. Especially with no NDA.

Blake Lively will go on her victim tour and continue to disparage Justin. Freedman will continue to call her out publicly, and then Gottlieb will step in to protect his princess (pushing more lies).

It’s never going to end. Justin will never know peace. 😭

He might as well do a tell-all interview or write a book. From the text messages we saw in discovery, Blake and Ryan seem to be planning the very same thing.

Justin should get his side out before it gets drowned out by that couple.

A few weeks ago, Blake Lively's lawyers said Justin and "every individual defendant now face personal liability."

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were expecting a massive payday. Tens of millions of dollars in damages and legal fees.

That did not happen.

Justin Baldoni is not paying her a cent of the 300 million dollars she demanded.

No treble (triple) damages. No apology.

All she's getting are attorneys' fees for a single claim that was dismissed last year.

Blake Lively is still on the hook for millions of dollars in attorney's fees. So is Ryan Reynolds.

And their publicist, Leslie Sloane, whose motion for fees was denied by the judge.

After 2 years, the only people getting paid are the lawyers.

Blake Lively is now trying to spin that as a win for victims

MeToo fraudster Isabela Ferrer got a part in Free Shakespeare in the Park—her first role since the IEWU drama. Nice!

Tony Award-winning director Daniel Sullivan will be at the helm.

(He’d better not ask Isabela to follow the script, or he might find himself in federal court!)

This news comes on the heels of Brandon Sklenar landing a first-look deal with Lionsgate, a lead role in the box office hit The Housemaid (director Paul Feig said Blake Lively put in a good word for Brandon), and a role in Iron Jane launching at Cannes.

Blake also put in a word with James Gunn to cast Brandon as the lead in the next Batman.

You’d think Blake Lively would be campaigning just as hard for Isabela Ferrer to land a role in a Hollywood film. Nope. Her resources and connections were poured into Brandon Sklenar instead.

Blake doesn’t want to compete with a younger version of herself for roles in Hollywood.

Makes sense that she let Isabela have Shakespeare in the park. A job she would never take.

Isabela Ferrer, also known as Lying Lively 2.0, got a part in Free Shakespeare!

Her first role since the IEWU drama.

Daniel Sullivan will be at helm. He better not ask her to follow the script. He might find himself in federal court!

So, since we’re linking people to smear campaigns through photos (Hi, Blake and Ryan supporters!), tangential connections, podcast appearances, and social media followings, let’s take a look at the people connected to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

We have MJ Morley, whom Ryan Reynolds follows. She’s over on Threads posing with her can of Betty Booze, trying to influence her audience. She also collaborates with prominent pro-Lively creators like Expatriarch (followed by Ryan Reynolds on multiple platforms), Leslie Dobson (allegedly behind the fake HR complaints circulating a few months ago), and Sarah Seigel (blocked by TikTok).

MJ Morley is also listed as a contributor on the Hulu Lively/Baldoni documentary alongside Emily D. Baker.

Ryan Reynolds follows Emily D. Baker. She’s also represented by WME, the agency that fired Justin Baldoni at Reynolds’ request. She’s also appeared on Nick Viall’s podcast to give a pro-Lively legal take during the early days of the case (she was called out by her audience for her bias).

Nick Viall is also followed by Ryan Reynolds. He’s attended events where Ryan was present, and there are photos of them together. Nick also follows Blake Lively, Emily D. Baker, and Expatriarch. The same people Ryan Reynolds follows.

Expatriarch has appeared on Nick Viall’s podcast, The Viall Files, to smear Justin Baldoni. Ryan Reynolds also follows him across multiple social media platforms.

Then we have Blakely Thornton, another social media creator who made multiple videos attacking Justin. Comparing him to Diddy and Chris Brown. There are photos of him inside Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ penthouse holding their dog, and he tagged them in the post. There are also photos of him with his arm around Ryan Reynolds at events. Ryan follows him, too.

Then there’s the infamous “Dr.” Leslie Dobson, the person (allegedly) behind the fake Justin Baldoni HR complaints that were circulating a few months ago. The complaints no publication would print. Multiple content creators came forward (with their DMs with Dobson), saying Dobson was the one sending them around.

"Dr." Leslie Dobson also collaborates with two of Ryan Reynolds’ favorites: Morewithmj and Expatriarch.

She’s also worked with Vivian Baker, Blake Lively’s makeup artist from the trailer "incident."

Vivian follows Ryan Reynolds’ online buddies, too. Expatriarch and Morewithmj.

"Dr." Leslie Dobson said she received the fake HR complaints from an insider. Could that insider have been Vivian Baker? The same Vivian Baker who told the bizarre/forever-changing story about Jamey Heath supposedly watching Blake Lively nude while his back was turned. The story where Vivian and her partner were covering Blake with a small towel, then suddenly there was a baby involved, then a thong, and somehow the “eye contact” became eye contact through a mirror?? 😭

The story is just as nonsensical/insane as the fake HR complaints "Dr." Leslie Dobson was passing around to content creators.

It makes you wonder if they were all collaborating 🤔

Vivian Baker and "Dr." Leslie Dobson working together (with the help of Ryan Reynolds) to fabricate HR complaints depicting sexual assault to smear Justin.

Hmmmmm 🤔

But of course, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively would never use employees and content creators to smear Justin Baldoni. It’s not like they were already accused of doing exactly that in 2024.

That would just be ridiculous. 🙃

Why did Blake Lively refuse a body double for her kissing/sex scenes with Justin Baldoni?

It was included on her 17-point list of conditions she said were necessary for her to feel safe returning to work. But once filming resumed, that request was dropped, and she went on to film kissing and sex scenes with Justin.

So what changed? Why was a body double initially presented as necessary for her safety, only for that concern to seemingly disappear once filming began?

Blake Lively helped style Isabela Ferrer for the It Ends With Us press tour.

For the major red carpet events and pap walks, Isabela was dressed almost exclusively in black or in bland, ill-fitting outfits.

Blake did give Isabela a break from the black for the film premiere, where the theme was “grab your friends, wear your florals.” Unfortunately, that translated into a dowdy, Shein-looking floral dress layered with what looked like Blake’s entire bracelet collection.

Meanwhile, Blake styled herself in archival couture. The Britney Spears dress.

At 22, Isabela Ferrer should have been having her breakout moment as one of the film’s leads. Instead, she spent the entire press tour with Blake speaking over her in interviews, fading into the background, and looking more like Blake’s plus-one than one of the stars of the film.

Liz Plank spent years around Justin Baldoni and his family, spending time with his wife and kids. She even told him she loved him.

There was never any indication she had an issue with him. Then the second Ryan Reynolds entered the picture, she was suddenly comfortable disparaging Justin. Interesting 🤔

Colleen Hoover was also friends with Justin.

For five years, there were no issues. No distancing. No unfollowing. Nothing. Things only changed when Colleen connected with Blake during the second phase of production. That’s when she started mocking Justin’s marriage and openly participating in workplace bullying.

Funny how these friendships only seemed to fall apart once two powerful A-listers with influence, resources, and connections got involved.

(Peep Jamey Heath’s arm around Liz Plank's waist! GASP! The horror! Someone call Don Saladino! 🙄)

Patti Stanger from Millionaire Matchmaker really wants the public to shut up.

She “*knows people*” who are friends with crew members from It Ends With Us 😒

Remember Colleen Hoover’s best friend, who ran to social media claiming she was on set and saw everything?

Meanwhile, Colleen Hoover barely spent any time on set and has no knowledge of what happened, but somehow her best friend, who was there for a handful of days, knows everything?

I call this desperate for attention behaviour.

I wonder if Patti knows how Blake Lively treated the crew.

Blake fired the film editors (apparently one of them was a domestic violence survivor), the assistant director, and the film composer. She (Ryan) also rewrote Christy Hall’s work and took full credit for the screenplay.

Wayfarer also had to pay for a separate wrap party for the crew while Blake partied the night away with her A-list friends.

Yeah, Blake was really “abused.”

Blake's lawyers have started their PR victory tour

Starting with Puck News!

Fun fact: Matthew Belloni, founder and host of The Town, said Stephanie Jones smeared him. He's also friends with Bryan Freedman.

A few celebrity hair stylists and nail artists are in the comment section of his most recent post calling her out

The ‘shy’ act isn’t working on people who’ve been around her.

Blake Lively (May 2024): He said something hushed to you on set at Root, but I didn't hear the rest, he said "oh, man I have something to tell you but I'll probably get cancelled for saying it. You can't say anything on this set anymore.

Brandon Sklenar (May 2024): I don't even remember if he told me

Now, let's look at Jenny's text to Blake in 2023

Jenny Slate (June 2023): Sarah from makeup just told me that he went up to Brandon and said "dude i have to tell you something but i don't want to get cancelled or lose my job... you can't say anything on this set anymore.

Blake Lively (June 2023): What does that mean?

Blake, didn't you tell Brandon May 2024 you were there when it happened, but didn't hear the rest of what Justin said? Why is Jenny Slate, June 2023, relaying what happened if you were there?

You even texted Brandon the exact words Justin allegedly said (verbatim). Could you explain why you needed Jenny to provide context for something you witnessed?

And where is Sarah from makeup?? The person (the only person) who witnessed this alleged interaction? Where is her deposition??

There's a reason Brandon and Justin don't recall this interaction.

Because it never happened.

Isabela Ferrer is the real loser.

No upcoming projects, no sponsorships, and no Met Gala invite from Blake. Not even to hold her dress.

Brandon Sklenar got something. Alex Saks got something. Colleen Hoover got something. Isabela? She’s going home with nothing.

She’s now doing her best to distance herself from the mess she created by going to the press and claiming Justin harassed her with a subpoena—a subpoena she was always going to receive.

She deleted all the It Ends With Us photos from her Instagram (the ones with Blake) and removed her tagged pictures. She didn't even like Blake Lively's "digital violence" post.

Doesn't matter. The public will never forget the way she handled this case.

Its back to waitressing and waiting for casting directors to call her back.
