Lake Lively might have just done herself in in this battle with Justin Baldoni
00:05
Although she didn't do it intentionally, but something she said long before she ever worked with Justin Belden, right?
00:10
but there's something she said that has now been resurfaced and it is
00:15
Right on the nose as far as what the issues are in her battle with Justin Baldoni back in
00:21
2022 she was speaking at a Forbes power women's summit. Yeah, and she flexed her muscles
00:27
Oh, did she she definitely did talked about being hired as an actor, but wanting more and how she
00:35
secretly tries to
00:37
Take more powers and disarm people with her beauty and then laser in with her
00:45
creative vision
00:46
When I would show up on a set
00:48
I knew that they just wanted me to show up and look cute and
00:51
Stand on a little pink sticker where I'm supposed to go and say what I'm supposed to say
00:54
But I also knew that like that wasn't fulfilling for me that I wanted to be a part of the storytelling that I wanted to
01:00
Be a part of the narrative
01:01
Sometimes I would have people who really resented that because they were like we just hired you to be an actor
01:06
Yet when I went in the meetings, I would just seem like I'm just there to be the actor and ready to get the gig
01:11
I wouldn't reveal that I actually need to have authorship in order to feel fulfilled
01:16
so I think that for them sometimes that might have felt like a rug pull because you're like
01:21
You're trying to assert yourself into something that we didn't hire you to do
01:26
And so it was like it was a really strange position to be in
01:30
Here's the thing like it is a rug pull. It actually is a rug pull
01:35
That's exactly what it is
01:37
But not in this case because she was also hired as a producer and in that six minute audio clip that Justin left her
01:43
He thanked her for her creative input and said that her notes actually made the music sing better
01:48
Her notes were great and he wanted to share the revised script with her. So not in this case, you're right
01:54
She was hired as one of the producers of this. So you're absolutely right that this one wasn't secret
01:59
But then the issue is how much power did she try and exercise? Did she go beyond the normal kind of?
02:08
Collaboration and and and you got to remember when she's sending Justin, you know
02:14
I've got these dragons Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds that she might be pushing too hard
02:20
And I think that's the one even before there were lawsuits. That was the conversation
02:25
It was about who had creative control of this movie. That was the debate
02:29
That was the battle between them when the movie came out. That's right that we everyone was reporting on so the lawsuits came later
02:35
But what she says in this Forbes video is spot-on about
02:40
Who was actually running the show one person's got to run it, I mean you can't do this by committee
02:45
So who's running it? Is it the director?
02:47
But you have all these other EPS to that also were on Blake's side. There's a whole bunch of more people
02:52
It's not just her versus Justin
02:54
There was other people on the cast and crew that were also studying with her that were in higher positions than her and they all
03:00
Wanted her side. Well, you don't see anything on my side here. Yeah, I mean he's the director
03:09
Well, then have a backbone and trust your movie and don't be scared of these dragons trust in yourself. Well, you know, no, no, no
03:15
No, no. No, you are saying you're up against Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. Come on, Courtney
03:22
Come on, I mean, I just like to end it when you said I was right. I was already done talking. I was happy with that
