Why Blake Lively may not go out in mind

The #MeToo movement may no longer be in the spotlight as it was in the past, but that did not prevent women from being sexually harassed on film sets. But is that really what happened here?

Many people would say that if she was so uncomfortable with Baldoni, she should have vocalized her concerns with him long before filming. And I agree with that. Is it fair to put a legal action once the film is already over? If she was harassed as she claims, then yes, perhaps, if she was afraid of a kind of reprisals, but the proofs that have emerged so far do not look like a woman who was afraid to use her voice.

So, with regard to Justin Baldoni against Blake Lively, who will come out in mind?

Baldoni has already marked a legal victory On Monday when A judge rejected the request for Lively for an order of gagThis means that even more evidence will probably appear in the coming weeks.
It could be difficult for Baldoni to collect the pieces in terms of career, regardless of what direction his legal battle takes place, but he can move away from all this proving that he did not harass living in the way she claimed, and for him, that the justification might be sufficient.
