It's really interesting how this panned out because technically speaking she's more well-known than Justin, so it should've been relatively easy to bury him. But because she had literally no legit tea on him, it's all been snowballing against her.

The cast is escaping major criticism but they all (particularly the women and that one guy) are looking like asskissers cause I don't think any of them have produced tea either.

fr i haven’t thought about justin baldoni since jane the virgin ended, forgot that he existed and everything, and i was shocked to find out he had shooters 😭

but idk, i personally was getting extremely annoyed of the seemingly endless deadpool promo, and blake has been front and center in all of taylor’s pap walks for the last couple of years. the overexposure combined with the lack of tea on justin and i think it was just the perfect storm.

Yeah I only heard his name around him relating to JTV posts. I never watched the show.

"d blake has been front and center in all of taylor’s pap walks for the last couple of years. the overexposure combined with the lack of tea on justin and i think it was just the perfect storm"

Her literally hanging on Taylor is so pathetic and opportunistic, it's make sense why she's friends with her lol. It's funny cause despite the fact she was in a popular series and has done some films....she comes off as a newbie trying to get her career launched via her more famous friend lol.

I think she thought she had Swifties on her side and could pull this off, but from what I’ve seen, she only has like, 50% of the Swifties lol, which wasn’t enough. All those pap walks got to her head and made her think people loved seeing her when anyone could have told her they actually just want to see Taylor.

I think directors are going to be afraid to cast her from now on for fear of being the target of a smear campaign so she needs to either beg Ryan for a part or beg Taylor for a part in that directorial debut, or roll her sleeves up and actually learn how to produce if she’s so desperate to be like Margot! Good luck Blake lol.

Hmm interesting the Swifties didn't defend her but now thinking about it do they ever defend any of Taylor's friends? Like when Selena fucks up they're not there right? It's mostly Selena fans that defend her.

Looking at her filmography she's def not in high demand either. A key different between her and Margot is that Margot is a go-getter without resorting to throwing people under the bus.

Yeah that’s true, Swifties don’t really go out of their way for Selena but Selena has her own fanbase so she always comes out of her messes unscathed lol. Speaking of Selena, i think she’s an interesting comparison to Blake because imo she’s gotten significantly less annoying in the last year or so, she finally stopped commenting on TikToks of Hailey, and she is a successful producer of an Emmy nominated TV show, Only Murders in the Building! Selena kinda makes Blake look like even more of a flop lol ( ... )

Selena seems to be fine primarily cause she gotta a man to keep her occupied because when she's single....that's when she's gives into the pettiness instead of ignoring it.

To Selena's credit compared to Blake, she is self-made and literally came from nothing to building her own successful brand in tv, music, and makeup. Blake is a nepo-baby who dad and siblings had connections to the industry. But her hustle skills don't seem to be great. Selena on the other hand is def a hustler and unlike Blake crew members speak kindly of her and have never said a bad thing against her. Whereas not so nice things are coming out behind the scenes about Blake...none positive.

Billie's 2 oscars must have Taylor bugging cause that's a stat she never and can't achieve age-wise.

What makes you think Emma is jealous of Margot? Emma is really private and very off the grid when she's not promoting so I can't get too much of a tea off her. Funny enough when Margot first came out with Wolf of Wall Street, she looked a lot like Emma!

There was a TikTok going around during awards season where Yorgos and Emma were on a red carpet and didn’t realize they were being filmed and you can see Emma mockingly flip her hair and say “I’m Barbie” which made it look like she was making fun of Margot. She was also copying a lot of Margot’s talking points re: producing in her own interviews. I think she really wants to be taken seriously as a producer like Margot is. To be fair, Margot is probably also jealous of Emma’s Oscars lol.

Yeah Selena came from nothing but she hustles hard and has accomplished a lot… that TV show is actually pretty cute! It’s kind of shocking that with all the resources Blake has between her parents and her husband she can’t do the same.

Yeah, after I saw that TikTok I looked at vids where Emma and Margot were together, like vids from this past awards season when they were constantly at the same events, and you could tell they don’t really like each other… like they would be polite and professional with each other but keep their distance from each other. Which is obviously fine lol, not all women have to be friends, but if you brought it up stans would be like “why do you want to pit women against each other?” ummm why do you hate fun and gossiping? I want to know why they don’t like each other ( ... )

“lol why are you putting women against each other!!!” Lol not my fault my crystal ball and vibes tend to be sensitive to certain attitudes. Some of us pick up potential shit quicker instead of being of being delulu or drinking the kool aid. Plus I think people know their faves or women are messy but don’t like them being outed cause they’re probably similar lol 👁️👄👁️ ( ... )

I love this thread! Late but I'm jumping in with my 2p

It's worth remembering that Anya, despite her up and comer status, is still from an insanely rich family (was a bridesmaid at that Getty girl's wedding) and based on her projects, I do think she doesn't want her image to be publicly associated with someone who's basically seen as for the purity ring girlies or the basic girlbosses, vs being ok with being seen with Charli who is actually seen as groundbreaking and interesting and having a more youthful/early-adopter fanbase, if that makes sense? I'm not saying Anya can't like her music, obviously they did hang, but she (Anya) does seem like the type who'd have no truck with being subservient and 'lesser'.
