Summary
Now that Justin Baldoni filed his countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and her PR firm, I cross referenced his own allegations and explanations against her original complaint to see what claims have and haven't been addressed. While a few things seem to have been negated, the majority remain unanswered or left to interpretation of two differing perceptions. This pod focuses solely on her claim, and his defense, of sexual harassment while working on the movie. Upcoming pods will delve into the accusation that Blake's goal was ultimate creative control of the movie and the rights to its sequel, along with the PR scandal over personal text messages and confidential communications being leaked and allegedly cherry picked for misinterpretation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Ducking Bravo. Today, we are doing the It Ends with Us dive part eight. Oh, Cho. I've broken this up into three separate buckets. Sexual harassment, creative control, and the PR wars over the text |
| 0:23.4 | messages. This pod is focusing on sexual harassment. Before we get started, I'm going to level set to |
| 0:28.9 | refresh your memory. So, rewind. Blake lively filed a complaint on New Year's Eve, December 31st. |
| 0:36.5 | It's called a CRD, essentially saying I was sexually harassed |
| 0:40.7 | at work, at a workplace filed in the state of California. CRD stands for Civil Rights Department. |
| 0:47.1 | At the same time, the very next day, the New York Times put out a very long 4,000-word, damning article |
| 0:53.8 | called We Can Burry Anyone, |
| 0:56.2 | how Justin Baldoni had a smear campaign against Blake lively |
| 0:59.3 | and harassed her on the set of It Ends with Us. |
| 1:02.5 | The New York Times article was based on the information presented in that complaint, the CRD. |
| 1:08.0 | Her complaint really was a bombshell because it had personal text messages |
| 1:12.3 | between Justin, his team, his PR, and we're all thinking, like, how did she get that? That's amazing. |
| 1:18.2 | And the CRD stated, we got this from a subpoena. So the two-pronged approach of the complaint, |
| 1:23.9 | as well as a very thorough, seemingly New York Times article written by a woman |
| 1:29.0 | who was known for writing articles about Harvey Weinstein, on top of reading that she got |
| 1:35.5 | these very personal text messages from a subpoena. It seemed like this really was fact-checked, |
| 1:43.1 | completely above board. Everything we need to know is here. And the |
| 1:46.9 | allegations were multiple. It was, you know, telling women that they were sexy on set. Other women |
| 1:53.3 | had felt the same way, had complained to Wayfarer his production studio, that they had barged |
| 1:59.8 | into her trailer when she was breastfeeding. |
| 2:02.1 | She was topless. She asked him not to make eye contact and Jamie Heath looked at her anyway. |
| 2:06.7 | That during the birthing scene, she was just had a little kind of nude strip that actors wear |
