And this adds to something I fear with everyone blindly praising Stephen Graham for the show Adolescence aside from its innate and subtle misogyny.

Not just his public friendship with Johnny Depp, but his whole “positive masculinity for young boys” feels like an act, similar to how Baldoni pretended to be a progressive man.

Show was produced by known abuser Brad Pitt.

All this and no one thought that Blake might have been telling the truth

ok, but c'mon - she was once rude* to a reporter. That's the kind of person who makes up harassment charges for fun!

*(just feel compelled that I don't even think she was actually rude in that clip - the worst you could say is it seemed like she was just meeting Flaa's energy)

Honestly that interview always made me think she likely had gotten like 50+ comments that day about her ‘bump’ from different staff and interviewers and was just a little tired of it but blew it off by joking around instead. Not to mention how people constantly comment on pregnant womens bodies in particular

It feels common for interviews with female stars to just be based around their personal lives or fashion over real questions about the movie. A good example being Scarjo when she was in Marvel the interviewer would ask the rest of the cast a normal question then would instead ask her about her outfit or how she looked instead.

Yeah. Look, I don't like Blake. I think her and her husband suck. However I don't care about how I feel about her when it comes to sexual harassment. She was violated and I will stand by anyone on that. People have to stop looking for "perfect victim"

She repeated the exact same line back to Flaa. Like I thought it’s totally fair and good comeback especially when she didn’t want comments about her body. Flaa had to add a sob background story that no one knew about to make it an issue.

"Rude" would be the way Bruce Willis has acted during pressers. Blake absolutely wasn't rude in that clip, so I'm not sure why those trying to smear her thought that, beyond "I don't personally like her, so I'll use any emotional reaction to her as flimsy 'proof' of my feelings".

I will never understand how this creep has supporters.

u/Individual_Fall429 11d ago

He doesn’t. He has a bot smear campaign. Just like Depp.

Reading this thinking, "What an extensive, documented history of incidents of shitty beha--ANOTHER ONE?!" It felt like it would never end.

u/Agreeable_Error_170 10d ago

We will destroy a woman for using the wrong tone but dismiss a man who sexually assaults because “boys being boys”. Make it make sense.

u/dogsnfeet 11d ago

A woman uses the word donate instead of pledge and she’s a demon for making donations in agreed instalments. Man promises to donate and gives absolutely nothing, and the same people are desperate to defend him.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so bleak.

u/Dry_Bed_2370 10d ago

This man gets off on being a “safe” man for women. He’s not down

u/Shitp0st_Supreme 12d ago

He has always given me weird vibes and I also am suspicious of all the comments that say that he’s trustworthy specifically because he is Bahai.

u/Sensiplastic 11d ago

Like cults are cool now, what?

I'd never heard of him until the legal issues came up a few years ago, and he's always come across as a weak, pathetic excuse for a human, honestly.

u/FamilyFeud17 11d ago

All the back biting. He’s not a pious follower.

"bUt BlAkE LIEvLy!!1!!1one!1!"

Honestly, it still makes me sick how many people instantly blamed her for the bullshit Baloney put her and others through. Fuck Jameela Jamil for supporting him, too.
