Joe Rogan Isn’t Wrong When It Comes To Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni

Many have expressed help for the actor and director, whom Energetic accused of sexual harassment and physique shaming on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

Baldoni, in the meantime, has accused Energetic of making an attempt to wrestle inventive management of the movie away from him and countered her claims with a $400 million lawsuit in opposition to the actress, her husband, and their publicist.

As beforehand reported by The Blast, Rogan gave his unfiltered opinion on the authorized drama throughout a current episode of “The Joe Rogan Expertise.” Rogan didn’t hesitate to take purpose in opposition to Energetic and Reynolds, narrowing in on their declare that the lawsuit has “ruined their fame” in Hollywood.

“They f-cked up,” Rogan mentioned. “Ryan’s making an attempt to get out of it now. He is making an attempt to get out of the lawsuit, and so they’re like, ‘you’re a key a part of this.'”

He agreed with Baldoni’s lawsuit, which asserts that Energetic and Reynolds have been working collectively to attempt to take inventive management of the movie.

“The entire thing’s loopy,” he continued. “Baldoni’s suing the New York Occasions, and he is acquired a terrific case there, too.”

Though it’s unclear if the pair has ever met, Rogan agreed together with his visitor, Brandan Schaub, who argued that Baldoni must struggle aggressively in court docket to be able to clear his identify.

Rogan added, “Particularly, a man like that who’s, like, recognized for being a very candy, good man, after which he is, like, ‘Alright, sufficient.'”

He additionally praised Baldoni for being keen to take them on, noting that many Hollywood celebrities can be too “scared” to tackle the A-list couple straight.

It appears that evidently Baldoni is winning in the court of public opinion, most probably resulting from the truth that he had created a web site that posted alleged textual content messages, amid different “receipts” that confirmed that Energetic wasn’t telling the entire story along with her claims.

One of many allegations that Energetic made was that Baldoni barged into her trailer whereas she was breastfeeding; nonetheless, textual content messages present that she really invited him into her trailer to debate a scene whereas she was pumping.

“You actually have a textual content trade forwards and backwards,” Rogan continued. “They only by no means thought that anyone was going to return out with the receipts.”

It’s exhausting to disclaim that the “Gossip Woman” alum had a “secret plan” to take over the film when she really admitted to it throughout the Forbes Energy Ladies’s Summit in 2022. On the time, she defined how she would faux to be content material along with her position as an actress earlier than slowly exerting her affect behind the scenes.

“After I was within the conferences, I used to be like, I’m simply right here to be the actor, and I’m right here to get the gig. I wouldn’t reveal that I wanted to have authorship to really feel fulfilled,” Energetic defined. “And I really feel for them, it felt like a rug pull, and also you’re making an attempt to insert your self into one thing we didn’t rent you to do.”

Energetic went on to say that she typically butted heads with administrators and costars for not asserting her intentions forward of her casting. “Generally I had the director, writers, producers who would welcome that after I used to be in a position to provide that, and typically I had individuals who resented that, as a result of they simply employed me to be the actor,” she mentioned.

There are lots of situations the place issues Energetic has claimed don’t match with the “receipts” that Baldoni has offered. In a single a part of her lawsuit, Energetic alleges that he tried to physique disgrace her post-pregnancy when he requested her private coach how a lot she weighed.

Nevertheless, in his court docket paperwork, Baldoni offered textual content messages exhibiting that he tried to search out out her weight to be able to pull off a carry sequence. Baldoni, who had a number of bulging discs in his again, wished to know the way a lot he needed to practice for to be able to pull off the carry sequence with out damage.

Not solely does Energetic by no means point out his earlier again damage, however she additionally claims that the lift sequence never existed. Nevertheless, Baldoni’s crew has offered proof of edited scripts and rehearsal footage with choreographers to point out {that a} carry sequence was deliberate for the movie earlier than it was finally scrapped.

Though Joe Rogan generally is a polarizing determine, evidently the writing is on the wall so far as the proof goes. Energetic has made claims, however Baldoni has seemingly countered each with bodily proof that gives much-needed context to her accusations.

Rogan can also be proper about one other factor: Baldoni goes to should struggle aggressively in court docket to clear his identify. Being a sufferer of sexual harassment is one factor, however being falsely accused of such is even worse, particularly the place his youngsters are involved.

Though the trial shouldn’t be set till March 2026, Baldoni’s career will continue to suffer till his identify is cleared, very like Johnny Depp’s did after Amber Heard’s accusations. In the meantime, Energetic has already put out a brand new film – “One other Merely Favor” – and with Reynolds safe as his Deadpool character, it appears the 2 won’t really face any repercussions for his or her accusations…

…except a jury decides in any other case.
