An Example of Baldoni's Illogical Claims and Mental Gymnastics
I just wanted to share a post pointing out an example of how Baldoni's claims don't align with the information he provides as evidence.
In this example he includes a text message from Lively where she talks about getting in shape for the movie, and suggests she is going to work very hard to do this but mentions she just had a baby and that it takes time to get to where she needs to be physically.
Baldoni follows up this text message in the filing with a paragraph where he tries to frame this message as an example of Lively being forceful over the issue of her weight. He states that she gave him an ultimatum to quit filming unless he worked with her, and that this ultimatum was an implicit threat to destroy his reputation and career.
I think this is a great example of an instance where his evidence doesn't support his claim. There is no threat at all in this message, and we never see anywhere that she says he has two weeks to recast her. There's no ultimatum ever stated anywhere, we're just told that this occurred without proof of it.
Not to mention that paragraphs 51 and 52 are just massive leaps in logic. Even if Lively had said that he had two weeks to recast her if he didn't want to work with her or be patient while she worked to get back in shape, there is no way that's a threat to destroy his reputation or his career. The mental gymnastics there are Olympic level.
