apr 20, 2023 - Producers' Texts Expressing Concern for Lively and Reynolds Excessive Demands

Description:

"51. Lively then delivered an ultimatum: if Baldoni could not get on board with her work
methods, he had two weeks to recast her.

52. Implicit in this ultimatum was a threat to destroy Baldoni’s reputation and career. As Lively well knew, Baldoni has worked hard throughout his career to earn and deserve a
reputation based on his passionate advocacy for women’s rights––a reputation she would later exploit and weaponize against him. If Lively were to back out of the Film, especially based on
accusations of fat-shaming, Baldoni’s reputation and life’s work would be left in tatters. He had
no choice but to bow to Lively and Reynolds’ demands. Concerns about Lively’s undue influence over the Film began to grow even before filming started."
