June 2, 201113 yr Oh I just read this Lainey's thing like 5 minutes ago on her website And if it's Harvey Weinstein she sent these pics to then ewww... no, I hope she didn't do this. Plus, would it make sense? I mean, there was this nasty blind item which is believed to be about Weinstein offering Lively big roles in exchange for 'casting couch' like he did years ago with Gretchen Mol....ew. The sad thing is the majority of people misread it that Blake agreed, while it was explained he was offering but she didn't agree. I know right, that was the blind item that destroyed her reputation right there because people chose to misread it and Lainey never bothered to set people straight. Afterwards, it was all like Blake Lively was sleeping with people for roles, no matter what roles she got or however thankless they are. I think people's main gripe with her has to do with jealousy tbqh, that and crazy Leighton Meester stans That's what made me start disliking Lainey intensely, right there.
June 2, 201113 yr Thanks carol princess for the pic!! Many other celebs have gone through this like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyris, Jake Gylenhal, ect. And they all handled it very well. Blake seems to be doing the same, and I'm sure this scandle will blow over soon (or I hope it does!) She'll be fine!
June 2, 201113 yr Apparently there's a lot more coming. Like I'm actually crying right now so I can't even imagine how she feels. Oh she was crying too. Tears of joy that this PR stunt is working like a charm.
June 2, 201113 yr Apparently there's a lot more coming. Like I'm actually crying right now so I can't even imagine how she feels. Oh she was crying too. Tears of joy that this PR stunt is working like a charm. Are you serious? People like you make me scared to be a woman, by all indications a young and ambitious woman was victimized when her set of private pics were stolen and published to the internet and you have the audacity to suggest that it was her own doing. It just reeks of sexism if you think the only way she can afford to get ahead is by using her body/nude pics, her star was already ascendant without this. If you don't have anything nice to say, be a class act and don't say anything at all. I know this is America and freedom of speech yadda yadda, but it would be greatly appreciated if you excused yourself from this thread. TYIA

Stranger things have happened on this planet.

I know this is America and freedom of speech yadda yadda, but it would be greatly appreciated if you excused yourself from this thread. TYIA There are so many things wrong about your assumptions of me and my statement. So take a deep breath and chill out and allow me to elaborate. First of all, I am the very first person to call out misogyny, internalized misogyny, and sexism when I see it. I firmly believe that society is a sexist machine that never allows a woman to be anything other than a sexual object, and I find that truly disgusting. In fact, I am so adamant about women's rights and the perception and roles of women in society that I get in into arguments daily about it. I excuse you for assuming that I am the sort of person who makes you scared to be a woman, because I fight for our rights daily and you didn't even know it. I actually started a thread about a topic pertaining to women's rights a couple months ago, so forgive me if I brush off your assumption to plain ignorance of my person. Secondly, I don't think that is the only way a woman can get ahead in the industry, I think SHE allowed her publicist to make that decision for her. Obviously, as a fan of hers you'd never think something like of her, but as someone who has no real interest in her as an actress I look at it through my own unbiased eyes. My opinion stems from the fact that it is highly suspicious that there is a media whirlwind about her dating Leo and her movie is about to come out, and then OOPS guess WHAT ELSE IS HAPPINGING!?! Oh no! Nude pictures came out!one1!!!11!!!!! The convenience of all this is too blatant for me to ignore. Could I be wrong? Of course, I can. But that doesn't stop it from my opinion. I genuinely think this a PR stunt and if she was okay with her publicist leaking her pics, then she should reap the benefits. If this is in fact not a PR stunt, then I feel bad for her. But forgive me for not believe the latter. As for excusing myself from this thread, you must have some delusions. I've been here longer than you have, and not that seniority counts for anything, but I assure you I have had stronger opinions on much more controversial subjects and have never excused myself for anything. So as much as you may love Blake Lively, that does not make the you owner of this thread and much less someone who has a say in where and what I say. Have a wonderful day sweetheart.
June 2, 201113 yr I know you are a fan of Blake, but you have to consider the possibility that she did this stunt herself. How can you be 100% sure it wasn't her own doing? Stranger things have happened on this planet.I have and have concluded that logically, it is not possible. Everything she has worked for and everything she holds dear- Anna, Karl, Chanel, Leo, her image as an ingenue, her blossoming career- can be undone by the possibility of scandal. So yeah. She's ambitious not foolish. Even her most ardent basher, Laineygossip, doesn't seem to think so. That's all the proof I need

Do you even know Blake? Everything you see in the media about Blake and how she may be a little angel doesn't mean it's 100% true. The truth is that you don't know for certain. And how is it not possible? It literally is a possibility. Doesn't matter how well you think you know someone you've never met. So your logic goes out the window right there.

While I do apologize for the assumptions I made, you did not leave me a choice with your flippant and derogatory comment. And let's go by your sentence above, don't you think it is highly suspicious that someone who has an axe (or several) to grind with her would seize this opportunity to "knock her down a few" by releasing these pictures at a point where she is hitting all cylinders- dating a superstar, face of arguably the ultimate luxury brand, fashion darling, one of the most A-list actors on her arm? All check. I agree that the timing of those pictures were opportunistic but for who? Definitely not her as it has tainted the image she has so painstakingly cultivated. Although I just registered on bellazon, I have been a long time reader so I don't get the point of your penultimate paragraph. And I am having a wonderful day. Thank you.

As I wrote upthread, she has done some stuff that makes me roll my eyes; she's human for pete's sake, of course she has her flaws. hI never said she was a little angel or whatever. Which is why I wrote logically, so while I admit to not knowing the actress personally. As a human being and to normal human beings, such logic simply doesn't make sense. I never said it wasn't a possibility, just that to ME (as someone who is entitled to their own opinion), it simply doesn't make sense and is an outlier in the sequence of events that have brought her to this point. What is your reason for being so ready to believe that she did?

While I understand your point of view, I don't see what they would gain from knocking her down a few pegs? Lets assume these pictures were leaked, now lets assume (goddamn assumptions!) that a male leaked them... Okay. What do they gain? Satisfaction at doing it? Wouldn't they know that this would garner her more attention anyway? I think she has more to gain (sadly) no matter who leaked them. Because of her ambition, I see her doing it herself. I'll reiterate, I could be wrong but I just can't help but see it that way. My personal brand of logic leads me there. My point is that I am known for saying whatever the fuck I want and never backtracking and certainly never leaving quietly if asked to (you aren't the first). So the fact that you would even attempt to ask me is laughable. Isn't all this passive-aggressiveness fun? Next stop? Riri's post for a dose of rape culture 101!

What is your reason for being so ready to believe that she did?Just because it doesn't seem logical to you, doesn't mean it's impossible (you said it was not possible...those were you words). Just seems like you are right off the bat not looking at both sides of the coin and at least considering the possibility (which is completely possible) that she could have pulled this stunt herself. And I never said you said she was a little angel. Reread my post again. And I'm not so ready to pull the trigger on her (if you've noticed I haven't leaned one way or the other). I just like to look at both sides of the coin. Not saying she did it, but I am saying it's a possibility regardless if it may seem out of character (is it? I don't know her), it is possible.

Okay Miss Passive-Aggressive, you have revealed yourself to be more on the latter side if your being asked to leave conversations is any indication. I was merely engaging in what I thought was discourse with you before your introduction of expletives. At the end of the day, you have your opinion and I have mine. @bluestar87- As I said, for me, it is logically not possible. For her, you or whoever else wants to believe that she did it herself, it is within the realm of possibility. But I stand by my logic.
June 2, 201113 yr Im amazed because her publicist keeps denying that pictures are hers ... Really? Does she think people is stupid enough to believe that she has an identical twin out there taking pictures naked just to bother her? If you're dumb enough to take pictures of yourself naked & send them out there, at least have the guts to accept it's you!
June 2, 201113 yr Well hopefully it wasn't her who published the photos herself, or rather, gave the go-ahead. The photos do look like her. Unless someone was a wiz at photoshop and/or there is an identical twin out there it looks like it is her. Perhaps she took the photos herself for some private use and they leaked or something. Blake has a great body though if that is hers.

I am of the firm belief that words hold the power you give them, and I used them haphazardly because I was no longer trying to prove a point or explain anything of too much importance. Your holier than thou statement don't change the fact that I explained myself eloquently enough given the circumstances and the topic.

If you're dumb enough to take pictures of yourself naked & send them out there, at least have the guts to accept it's you! Since I saw the 1st pics a couple of days ago I also think it's too obvious it's her, though I doubt she has sent them somewhere or they were leaked by someone. Hackers can easily get the contents of any iPhone nowadays, so I believe that's probably what happened.
June 2, 201113 yr Its a shame this had to happen to her, but I'm over it. Doesn't make me think any less of her, and she seems to be handling it very nicely. And this person who is releasing these pics, weather there really her or not, are very scummy But anyway, heres a behind the scenes video of her Glamour photoshoot! Her dog is soooo cute!!
