As a woman who has walked the tumultuous path of speaking up against power and facing the wrath of public opinion, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of solidarity with Blake Lively. Her story mirrors my own in many ways, and it’s disheartening to see history repeating itself.
More recently, Amber Heard voiced her solidarity with Blake Lively, drawing parallels between her own situation and Blake’s decision to file a harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
NBC News reported that he stated, “Social media acts as a vivid demonstration of the old adage ‘A falsehood spreads faster than the truth.’ I witnessed this phenomenon myself, and it’s both alarming and devastating in its impact.
In her accusations, Lively claimed that her co-star, director Baldoni, and producer Jamey Heath from It Ends with Us, had subjected her to sexual harassment, abuse, and defamation. She also alleged that they initiated a malicious campaign to harm her reputation in retaliation. However, Wayfarer Studios, a production company co-owned by Baldoni and Heath, refuted these allegations, asserting that there was no instance of retaliation.
The controversy drew attention because Baldoni hired crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan, who had represented Johnny Depp during his infamous defamation trial against his ex-wife, Heard. Netizens began drawing parallels between the cases of the two actresses.
As reported by The New York Times, Nathan allegedly messaged one of Baldoni’s publicists claiming, “You know we can hide any information,” but Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, countered that Livley was spreading “baseless and untrue tales about him to the media.
It appears that Amber Heard’s current case resembles Johnny Depp’s previous defamation battle. While Depp’s 2020 court case in London ended with a loss, as the court validated some abuse allegations against him, the 2022 U.S. trial has shown a marked change, resulting in Amber Heard losing her case before a U.S. jury. This decision has sparked significant criticism from the public.
Multiple investigations later revealed that the majority of online assaults directed at Amber Heard were orchestrated through bot networks and coordinated disinformation campaigns. The Independent newspaper commented, “The astonishing discovery…is the sheer scale and intricacy of the misinformation movement against Heard. This was not a single attack, but a series of interconnected, multi-faceted assaults.
In a statement about Lively’s case, Heard highlighted the alarming and damaging impact of social media, emphasizing that misinformation can rapidly spread and amplify – something she’s personally familiar with.
In a simpler and more conversational manner, we could say: The similarities between the situations of Blake Lively and Amber Heard suggest that even years after their stories were first reported, social media often impacts how people view women in Hollywood who share their experiences.
