Episode notes
Timeline And Texts Undermine Complaint
- The complaint's timeline and texts are often inconsistent and ambiguous, undermining its narrative about Blake Lively 'taking over' the script.
- Thomas and Lydia interpret contemporaneous messages as evidence Baldoni encouraged collaboration, not sabotage.
Preserve Context When Using Texts
- When building a case from texts, preserve context and clarify pronouns to avoid misleading narratives.
- Avoid retrofitting ambiguous messages into a definitive timeline without corroborating evidence.
Public Praise Contradicts 'Blindsided' Claim
- Baldoni's public praise for Ryan Reynolds during the Access Hollywood interview contradicts his later claim he was 'blindsided' by Reynolds' contribution.
- The hosts see this as a pattern of retroactive storytelling by Baldoni to justify his claims.
