oh no chelsea blake and ryan are writing up an apology for you to post as we speak also she's gonna add you to her lawsuit and accuse you of being paid to smear her GASP
Team Justin ❤❤❤❤
It is sad that they are dragging Baldoni in this. SH was weaponized and used to take control of the movie by Lively. Justin does not deserve this. This is disappointing. Hollywood, do better !!
People wouldn’t be laughing if they felt this was truly a SH matter—they are all probably secretly happy to see BL and RR go down, let’s be honest
we love justin ❤❤❤❤❤
Their peers are watching this self-inflicted reputational wound. They see that BL and RR are liabilities. Also, due to BL's frivolous claims, will every interaction between actors in a movie with a romantic theme need an intimacy coordinator? 🙃
Team Justin ❤
THANK YOU CHELSEA! HOLLYWOOD AGREES WITH THE PEOPLE!
She should have mentioned Ryan Reynolds too!
Even Hollyweird isn't falling for her false SH claims
I trust Justin Baldoni. I do not find any threats from him. But even for a woman, Blake create hostile work place environment with her attitude and toxic behavior. I hope Justin win at the end of court. I hope he makes more movies and I am going to watch whatever his name comes up. ❤ I was RR fan before. Now I am team Justin now. I can’t stand and give bad behavioral patterns and issues of RR until he fix himself and Blake as well.
Chelsea knows that Justin is on the side of truth — that’s why she said his name first: the important person of the two she had to name.
Support justin
Blake and Ryan r pure evil they need to be cancelled forever
Let my people go pharoah
Hollyweird shoud praise Lively for turning a DV drama into a romcom & her own products' launch platform. 🤡
What is appalling is the castmates' behavior in all this sh-show. They turned their backs on Baldoni, the one that really did something for them, he gave them work, she just gave them empty promises that will now never happen; they went silent after Baldoni showed them all, he knew they all conspired against him to help her get rid of him, to help her take over the movie doing what the bully couple knows best, steal others projects when the director have poured years of work, tears, money and sweat into a movie. They all should be sued too.
😂
Im glad they are all laughing at her but im not sure if they understand how serious her allegation led to damage an innocent man. Its no laughing matter when you are on the other side of this. Imagine he didnt have the receipts to prove his innocent…
Team Justin❤❤❤
Justice for Justin Baldoni
Sad Baldoni was put in this position …. hang in there buddy.
I agree i think she is the first one to make a statement that she does not believe Blake about
Hollywood thinks she is a joke…i think its obvious any one with half a brain can see what she did to Justin…
Now soneone in Hollywood needs to stand up for justin who was falsely accused and bullied and extorted out of his own movie
Team Justin, but I still think it was distasteful.
Team Justin! BL is going to try to settle any day now. Don’t settle Justin! Please don’t settle!
She’s afraid to go harder with RR and BL as some in the people there are their friends
2026? Why that far?
This just in, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Baldoni all file separate lawsuits against Chelsea Handler and all who laughed at that joke.
