Full Episode
what's going on everybody welcome back to another episode of the vile files reality recap edition i'm your host nick and uh well justin released a video we've officially reached the stage of people have uh cemented themselves in the position that they uh have it really feels like
If you're on Justin's team, it feels like every time he releases something, it seems like his side's like, oh, smoking gun. And then you have Blake. What was the statement that Blake's team made?
Her legal team slammed the It Ends With Us footage and said, The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Miss Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.
Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively's co-star, but the director, the head of studio, and Ms. Lively's boss. The video shows Ms. Lively leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk.
Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively's discomfort. They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.
I don't even think you need to be inappropriately touched in the workplace. I think any woman who's been in a bar and a man has like tried to dance with them or made advances, did anything that made you uncomfortable. And like, I think a lot of women struggle with like embarrassing a man or like standing up for themselves and being like, I don't want to be touched.
So they try to be as like polite as possible and be like, that's why a lot of women say I have a boyfriend when most of the time they don't have a boyfriend because they don't want to give their number away. You know, like I think People are going to read this how they want to. You know, I read this as definitely how Blake said it.
You know, I see an uncomfortable woman who just is constantly trying to be like, I think we should talk. Let's just talk. Like, if this part was supposed to be kissing and touching and... neck smelling and whatever, then they would have had an intimacy coordinator because that's all intimacy. So I think Blake being like, let's just talk. Let's have conversation. And I don't know.
I see it how Blake says it. I'm sure people are going to see it how Justin describes it.
