Why does Blake Livley and Justin run the one in escalation – and how can they solve it?
If Blake Levli thinks for a moment that cakes will help her get a tactical victory that affects the need, she has made a great mistake. In the depths of her continuous war with her, “It ends with us,” the director Justin stopped in the blog, who recently stopped by the Connecticut Store from Connecticut to do some “Bread with Genius Food Friends” Handing over customers. Critics accused her quickly online From withdrawing “public relations link” To look more connected, and immersed the shouting page of the store, and complain about that Hair care pioneer She failed to tie her long locks in the kitchen. It is clear that this is a battle that has escalated beyond the baked goods at this stage. But this should not become an endless quagmire. I have a certificate in resolving the conflict, and I know what I advise.
First, let’s summarize for a short period. The problem started last summer during the completely -long matching Press Blitz to adapt the long -awaited Colin Hoover for its best -selling novel. At that time, a torrent of fans of hatred and successful pieces was directed mainly to the vibrant-in particular, because its deaf approach appears to be in a story about domestic violence.
You don’t have to be loved to be wrong, and the damage does not always flow evenly or in one direction.
Later, an investigation was revealed in the New York Times Organized distortion strategy Heading the propaganda of the one in the authority Melissa Nathan. In December, a Livli lawsuit was filed against Baldouni and his team – they claim, from other complaints, sexual harassment and a campaign to destroy its reputation – asking for punitive damage in “An amount determined in the trial.” Baldoni, who does not exceed it, then fired a wave of lawsuits: a defamation of $ 250 million against the New York Times and a $ 400 million suit against Levli’s husband, Ryan Reynolds and their team.
Since then, there have been many accusations and additional lawsuits between other players; There were gag orders, leaked videos and audio notes, suggestions to remove them, and a lot of fiery phrases on all sides, but you get a core. I will stay away from speculating what happened or the guilt of each party; I will just notice that you should not be loved to be wrong, and the damage does not always flow evenly or in one direction.
Blake Livley and Justin Baldouni Star in “Sony Pictures Entertainment/Nicole Rivelli”. There are many methods to resolve the conflict, but you should always start clarifying what the parties already concerned want. There are specific positions, which, as in this case, tend to run towards “I am right, you are wrong, now you pay me.” But after that, interests are underneath. Interests are “Why?” From all this, the heart of what the parties really hope to get in the result. And when you start drilling there, lawsuits and money often become largely symbolic.
During the last takbeer conversation with Robert Bordon, founder Institute for negotiation in CambridgeAnd behavioral neuroscientist Joel Salinas, PhD in Medicine, co -author “The flexibility of the conflict: negotiating the dispute without surrendering or surrendering,” Bordon spoke to me about the role of the three E in the conflict: “Ego, Emotions and Extracting”. With Blake and Blaondoni, “It seems that” all these things look very strong for all the parties concerned, “noting that research showed that when people make to go in public places, their interests tend to turn. They are moving towards the desire to take revenge.” The punishment is not the same justice.
What can happen when this transformation occurs, as Salinas explained, are the lawsuits, which carry “the pretext of credibility, which can also cause feelings more”, and he said, “Then make it an existential threat on either side.”
Justin Baldoni and Blake Levli were seen on the “It End with us” group on January 12, 2024 in Jersey City, New Jersey. (Photos of Jose Perez/Power-Give/GC)When you have two representatives and their teams that are undoubtedly replaced by lawyers and advertising apparently as if it was a arms race to overcome each other, the real winners are lawyers and advertising. The more the conflict continues, the more difficult it is to get out of it. The amazing cost of its head, as the parties increasingly felt that she went away to change the path. For one side, it can be explained to a different tack that can be explained as a greeting gesture.
The real winners will be the lawyers and advertising.
We have now left with two parties that seem to be determined for anything less than the mutual guaranteed professional destruction, and if this is their goal, Baldoni and Lively are doing wonderfully. In one corner, there is a blogging, which is now radiant in Hollywood, not only on the disturbing revelation about his behavior in his movie group, but also the subsequent burned land movements, from the early advertising campaign to His website “Evidence” For these large suits.
Then there is vital. Regardless of the legal complications here, a story that involves a successful woman submitted claims to harassment and then stains by her director/Costar may seem irrational in the public opinion court. This is true that with the support of her husband in the A list A and her strong friends in the industry, Lively now enjoys their upper hand in optics. But this is far from peace without you. Regardless of the damage caused by the inferiority and team, Lively – as the cake incident – now has a problem in a big form and a cloud of drama associated with its name.
Bordon told me: “If you just spend a minute with them, then the most important thing I will try to design them is listen.” He encouraged “making them think in the long run in a way that calls them to stop, and create some space to be more aware of what is more important to them.”

The uncontrolled paradox in any person here is that all this started with a film about ill -treatment. If you make both parties focus on themselves firmly in this conflict, it does not seem to achieve what he wants – to seem like a good man here, the person who says the truth. The way to look good if you are a Hollywood actor not by claiming huge sums of money but by taking concrete steps to cancel manufacturing. This means, no matter how comfortable it may seem, convert the general focus elsewhere – think about the famous Martha Stewart Focus on its authority Amid the interior trading allegations. Regardless of the extent of his stabbing by the other side or the press, what if any of the two parties puts low for all of this for a period of time? We live in a violent interactive culture. Non -response can be an incredible power.
Make both parties focus on themselves firmly in this conflict does not achieve what it seems to want – to look like a good man here.
The other escalation tactic-which always looks like a huge long phase until development-is direct and detailed accountability. If, for example, he was intuitively communicating to some descent to his role in this conflict, it may be great from the ongoing consequences. I am not talking about a message from a lawyer or post on Instagram, I mean a real gesture from person to person. Owning the individual’s mistakes is one of the most difficult and terrifying procedures in a conflict. It is also one of the most effective. The other side is allowed to examine their own behavior and open less aggressive dialogue.
The other most important and effective tactics here is the status of money where there are mouths and make the story about something larger than the individuals concerned. “You can mediate something that may include donations for invitation groups, or offering a set of interests about the way women are treated in the entertainment industry,” said Bordon. Or just make the sum of the settlement not related. Gwyneth Paltrow and Taylor Swift – two women with the same vibrant polarization – brilliantly by winning lawsuits with only one dollar damage.
Among the fighters in this battle, Lively now has a better opportunity to play a more effective game and win. She just needs to take a braid from her friend Swift and act in the interest of her reputation. It moves it. This either ends with someone who does something different, or this does not end at all.
