But now we know the power dynamic did not exist between her and Justin for her to validly feel that way.
And the reason why, the judge uses her words against her because she wrote this huge letter saying, please give me the PGA credit.
Look at everything I did.
And she really says, I was leading this film.
I was a partner to Justin.
She says, I rewrote the script.
I facilitated.
I had it moved to a different location.
I facilitated all of these problems being solved.
And she puts herself at the same level of the other executive producers and of Justin Baldoni.
Yeah.
I'm going to read this quote from a very astute person on Reddit.
Please.
So they say, let's focus on what the court actually found regarding her status or lack thereof as an employee.
The court correctly noted that Lively had contractual approval rights over the script, the director, and her co-lead before she was even bound to the project.
She had approval rights over the ad campaign, the release pattern, press releases, outtakes, behind the scenes footage, and her own double.
During production, she led the location logistics, personally identified
an onboarded crew, rewrote the script, managed department head meetings, handled the politics and HR concerns on set, and in her own words, in a letter she wrote herself to the PGA, served as Baldoni's, quote, partner in all creative and logistical concerns.
She was self-admittedly not his subordinate, not his employee.
She was his partner.
