Further, drawing comparisons to Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s battle, Candace Owens dissected Blake Lively’s civil complaints and expressed immediate concerns upon reading the lawsuit. Highlighting contradictions in her own claims, Owens openly called Lively’s remarks manipulative and “red flags”.
The entire point of this lawsuit when you read through it, and I did, basically just makes Justin Baldoni sound like a massive perve, like he just loves s*x, he loves p**nography…
Suppose you’re signaling to your co-star that it’s okay to come in the trailer while you’re pumping or breastfeeding. Why is he going to then understand that on a different occasion, you’re actually completely uncomfortable with him doing?

Wondering about why Lively might have waited so long to accuse Baldoni, Owens questioned the intention behind her legal battle.
This was a Sinister PR move. Blake Lively then moved 11 days later to file a lawsuit. So now she has filed a lawsuit and I don’t think she ever wanted to do this.
I think she genuinely wanted this to be a PR move and she wanted to leak it to the New York Times. She thought the public would take her side with no questions asked.
Arguing that Blake Lively simply wanted to use the complaints as a PR move to get the public opinion in her favor, especially after her It Ends With Us promotion backfired, Candace Owens asserted that the actress never actually intended to file a lawsuit.
