Oh, wow.

I think it's unfair.

And I know no one's crying for the celebrities here.

But I think it's unfair to brand everybody who is at that red carpet as maggot coded.

It's true.

In a moment, what the heck was all that Baldoni lively business about if we've both basically ended with nobody winning and no money changing hands?

So...

Moments before one Blake Lively swept onto the Met Gala carpet looking a bit like Cinderella, very trademark, minus the bluebird.

She didn't have little bluebirds.

Lots of hair, bodice, big skirt, all that stuff.

But moments before that, a statement dropped into the inboxes of major press outlets, including People, New York Times, and so on.

And it read...

The end product, the movie, it ends with us, is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life.

And with no context, everyone's like, what?

Why are we reading this?

Raising awareness and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors and all survivors.

is a goal that we stand behind.

It becomes clear this is a joint statement from Blake Lively's team and Justin Baldoni's team about the court case we've all been obsessed about for years.

We acknowledge the process presented challenges.

Did it.
