Hi all!! I watched this tiktok last night and thought it would be apt to share it here as well!

I have been following this creator for a while now, she mainly speaks about intersectional feminism. She's also posted a few critiques on Miss Lively, her use of feminism to avoid responsibility and the social community's response to Blake's allegations/lies.

I know many of us in this sub are already aware of what this creator is saying, but I truly think it's valuable to watch and listen to what she's analysing. I also think Blake supporters need to watch this, listen very closely. You may think you're supporting feminism by supporting a woman at face value, but it's actually damaging to ignore the very holes in Blake's "campaign" to destroy an innocent man. Because not only is she destroying innocence, she's weaponising white feminism while also upholding patriarchy to achieve whatever she set out to achieve, selfishly. I've also said this from the beginning, that women are allowed to be god awful people. Feminism allows that, but it doesn't absolve you of any accountability for your actions. Which is what Blake and her cronies are promoting.

Here is a summary of the video (thanks to Mysterio!) for those who prefer to read!

White feminism is being used to defend Blake Lively, and it's dangerous for all women. White feminism isn't about the race of the person involved — it's about the framework being applied. It has five core tenets:

1. Ignores intersectionality: doesn't account for power dynamics beyond gender

2. Gives women a flawed moral immunity by assuming that surely women can't cause harm under patriarchy

3. Criticism equals misogyny: any scrutiny gets you labeled a misogynist

4. More anti-man than pro-woman, thereby still centering men

5. White female victimhood is the ultimate shield

Comparing Blake Lively to Amber Heard is a false equivalence. Amber Heard was confirmed by the court as a credible victim of domestic violence whose reputation was destroyed by a smear campaign. Blake Lively's situation is different; here 10 of her 13 claims were dismissed. Justin Baldoni was removed from the lawsuit, and she settled before trial, forfeiting her chance to prove retaliation. Hiring the same PR firm as Johnny Depp isn't a smoking gun; it's lazy analysis.

The intersectional reality is that Blake Lively held far more power on that set. She's A-list, was a credited producer, is married to Ryan Reynolds, and is friends with Taylor Swift. A powerless woman couldn't star in an adaptation of a book she never read, have her own cut of the film, or relegate the director to the basement at the premiere.

As for the "smear campaign," no PR firm was needed. The public turned on Blake Lively on their own after watching her promote cocktails and hair care alongside a domestic violence film, branding it as a fun girls' night movie. Women in the audience made up their own minds in real time. But white feminism can't grant the audience that agency; it has to be a conspiracy, because women supposedly can't cause harm.

Real feminism protects all women but doesn't shield them from accountability. White feminism only protects the "right" women from consequences. It's not misogynist to dislike a woman. Let women be unlikable.

Finally, my 7-day 🚫 has been lifted, and I can finally drop a scathing atomic bomb on my favourite hairless gerbil, Michael Gottlieb from Wilkie Farr & Gallagher. I've been struggling this week, unable to contribute to class discussion due to a Blakey reporting an old comment of mine, but I have watched and cheered from the sidelines as you all celebrated the victorious settlement. And by victorious settlement, I mean WAYFARER'S victory. Not whatever Mr. One-Way Ticket to Turkey is spinning in the media.

I know that Bryan McHotStuff and Kevin GetInMyPants told us to be NICE, but I just can't. Not when this human embodiment of period poop spreads misinformation and deceives the masses.

(As you can see, he was recently papped at the airport boarding a flight to Turkey for a new set of hair plugs. He won't read this until he lands. I can't wait!)

Now let me begin. We all know I loathe the hair-challenged ghoul also known as Michael Gottlieb. For the past two years, this man's reputation has gone from "one of the best" to absolute bin juice for taking on a frivolous lawsuit that resulted in $0 awarded, a shitty haircut, and no NDA. Something that was negotiated by settlement extraordinaire Bryan Freedman.

For two years, all we heard from Blakeys and fence-sitters is that Bryan is "out of his depth", "he's a settlement lawyer, not a trial lawyer". And well, look here. Look how it fucking ended! Most of this rhetoric was shared by our hair-plugs aficionado by earworming these sentiments to his equally pathetic soldiers, MJ Morley from MJ Morley Law and Expat (violent father). (Btw MJ, he'll never pick you, babes. Not when your "office" is McKamey Manor).

When 10/13 of Blake's claims were decimated by Judge Lewis Liman (Doug's brother), Gottlieb ran from his barbers to his panic room out of fear of Ryan's wrath. He cried to the media that Bryan "needed extra help" because he's a hack lawyer. Now, now Gottlieb, didn't you recently say on the Belloni podcast that you needed all those extra (19) lawyers because of all the motions you needed to write and for discovery? 19. 19, bro, and you still ended up a painfully pathetic loser whose face is so red and swollen from stress eating, you look comically ugly.

Here's why you're so pressed by this, Michael. I have never in my life seen such tangible evidence of a man soiling his pants on the daily than I have in your word-salad motions you uploaded to the docket. Every single time you signed those letters, you added permanent skid marks to your office chair. You soiled your pants and soiled your career. Meanwhile, Bryan is well-liked. Adored, even. You tried to get him sanctioned because your rage-jacking off to photos of him just wasn't cutting it anymore. When Belloni said "Bryan likes you" in that humiliating podcast interview, you blushed so hard Sigrid was clawing to wear some. You were kicking your feet and giggling over the fact that a man with more swagger than you likes you. Again, you're so painfully pathetic and transparent, it's laughable.

But that's not even the worst part, Mikey. Can I call you Mikey? I feel like we are friends. After all, I was the one who encouraged you to get that new hairdo. You and Esra "Going Through a Divorce" Hudson demanded footage of a woman giving birth and claimed it was PORN. Do you speak to your wife at all, Mikey? The woman who started the website "MamaDen", which is dedicated to empowering mothers. That's right, your own wife!!!! Isn't she ashamed of you???? And yet, after wiping the shit from your pants after another Ryan yelling session, you felt the need to victimise and traumatise a mother. YOU should be ashamed, Mikey. I hope this doesn't hurt your wife's business, MamaDen (a platform that connects and empowers mothers).

Mikey, you lost your Drake case. You lost your Blake case. You were outsmarted, outmanoeuvred, and out-physically-pleasing-to-the-eye'd by a man you deem lesser than you. A man who isn't Ivy League educated. A man who called your bluff from day dot. Now you're scrambling to the media that you "WON 🥰🥰🥰🥰" to save face. To save your reputation. Your image. Your hair.

Bryan will always be a better man, Gottlieb, because throughout all of this, he never once talked about the shit stains on your trousers, but you pulled every trick in Satan's guidebook to bring him down and you STILL lost.

You lost. You lost. You lost. YOU LOSTTTT. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Now I'll admit, Michael, there have been times where I have felt an inch of sympathy towards you. I know Ryan screams at you. I know he has threatened you. I know he's calling your office every hour of every day. I know that. I know that you were huffing and puffing at the conference when The J cornered you in debate. I know that this isn't the outcome you threatened and schemed your way into getting. But that inch vanishes the moment I remember you so wilfully doxxed the addresses of families with young children.

You're a joke, Michael Gottlieb.

How's that SEO?

Peace xx.

I saw this on tiktok (user: tailaht1dlyf) and wanted to share it here. I thought it was pretty funny how the judge told Gottlieb he is full of SHIT.

This is in regards to Freedman's statements and basically enforcing a gag order on him.

The judge is in purple because he gives off purple king, Gottlieb is yellow because his vibe is the colour of dehydrated urine, and Ellyn is green because she's a green goddess.

ENJOY MY FRIENDS

A bunch of mean girls quotes that describe this case thus far! Please add your own to the comments!!!

Thought I'd share a little nugget from today's conference where Liman laughed at Lively. Remember when she laughed at a woman sick from cancer and then posted a half ass apology? Isn't THAT INDICATIVE of someone who knows how virality works online?????

Anyway!
