So this is as the movie is rolling out.

Executive VP and Chief Communications Officer wrote, she orchestrated all of this drama in a totally unsavvy and amateur way, basically threatened Sony, and now is mad that it backfired on her.

So even they know, she is mad that it backfired on her.

So she has reason then to go out to the press, to go into the courts, to try to stir up something, allegedly, allegedly, to make sure that she still ends up on top.

Sony's CEO even observed that although Lively didn't deserve the backlash, she did bring it on herself by refusing to listen to advice and by selling her products, AKA her haircare line.

Sony president then said she did it to herself.

If she just let him come to the premiere or didn't make all of the cast unfollow him or kick him off the movie, listen to that,

didn't make the cast unfollow him, kick him off of the movie, and did what everyone else has done in show business for time and memorial, which is to protect the show, then none of the sleuthing would have happened.

The hair sale at the same time was epic level stupid.

She wouldn't listen.

She knows better.

So Sony themselves is saying that she was a problem, that she was turning people against Baldoni, that she allegedly went so far as asking them to unfollow him.

That she was the reason that Justin Baldoni, on his own production that he owns the rights to, that he started working on years ago, that he wrote and directed and starred in, the reason why he was in the basement at his own movie's premiere, even they knew.

That's damning.

Like, that is so incredibly damning.

Now, to be fair, I also want to say, Sony was also not thrilled with Baldoni, because concerns had been raised on the set, but it wasn't because of sexual harassment.

It wasn't because he was some kind of pervert.

The Sony exec in question said, it fell into the category of unprepared, indecisive, and inexperienced.

That that is what they were told about Baldoni.

And then the opposing counsel asks, those are the only issues that you recall her raising to you at any time regarding Mr. Baldoni?
