Transcript

00:00Lake Lively might have just done herself in in this battle with Justin Baldoni

00:05Although she didn't do it intentionally, but something she said long before she ever worked with Justin Belden, right?

00:10but there's something she said that has now been resurfaced and it is

00:15Right on the nose as far as what the issues are in her battle with Justin Baldoni back in

00:212022 she was speaking at a Forbes power women's summit. Yeah, and she flexed her muscles

00:27Oh, did she she definitely did talked about being hired as an actor, but wanting more and how she

00:35secretly tries to

00:37Take more powers and disarm people with her beauty and then laser in with her

00:45creative vision

00:46When I would show up on a set

00:48I knew that they just wanted me to show up and look cute and

00:51Stand on a little pink sticker where I'm supposed to go and say what I'm supposed to say

00:54But 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

01:00Be a part of the narrative

01:01Sometimes I would have people who really resented that because they were like we just hired you to be an actor

01:06Yet 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

01:11I wouldn't reveal that I actually need to have authorship in order to feel fulfilled

01:16so I think that for them sometimes that might have felt like a rug pull because you're like

01:21You're trying to assert yourself into something that we didn't hire you to do

01:26And so it was like it was a really strange position to be in

01:30Here's the thing like it is a rug pull. It actually is a rug pull

01:35That's exactly what it is

01:37But not in this case because she was also hired as a producer and in that six minute audio clip that Justin left her

01:43He thanked her for her creative input and said that her notes actually made the music sing better

01:48Her notes were great and he wanted to share the revised script with her. So not in this case, you're right

01:54She was hired as one of the producers of this. So you're absolutely right that this one wasn't secret

01:59But then the issue is how much power did she try and exercise? Did she go beyond the normal kind of?

02:08Collaboration and and and you got to remember when she's sending Justin, you know

02:14I've got these dragons Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds that she might be pushing too hard

02:20And I think that's the one even before there were lawsuits. That was the conversation

02:25It was about who had creative control of this movie. That was the debate

02:29That was the battle between them when the movie came out. That's right that we everyone was reporting on so the lawsuits came later

02:35But what she says in this Forbes video is spot-on about

02:40Who was actually running the show one person's got to run it, I mean you can't do this by committee

02:45So who's running it? Is it the director?

02:47But you have all these other EPS to that also were on Blake's side. There's a whole bunch of more people

02:52It's not just her versus Justin

02:54There was other people on the cast and crew that were also studying with her that were in higher positions than her and they all

03:00Wanted her side. Well, you don't see anything on my side here. Yeah, I mean he's the director

03:09Well, 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

03:15No, no. No, you are saying you're up against Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. Come on, Courtney

03:22Come 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
