That's that's not the problem. 62 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 3: It's the reputation that's really being damaged, you know, because 63 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: people are either taking his side or her side, and 64 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: they both are going to keep making movies. 65 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: And you know who's going to go see the movies. 66 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: If you're if your team justin Baldoni, you're suddenly no 67 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 3: longer going to be interested in anything Ryan Reynolds is 68 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: doing or anything Blake Lively is doing. 69 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: So it does ruin the reputation. 70 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: There's a lot at stake. There's no matter what the outcome, 71 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: the damage has already been done. 72 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much, and the fact that people felt the 73 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: need to take sides. But you remember Justin Baldoni suit everybody, 74 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: the New York Times. 75 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: The publicist. 76 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: He tried to bring in Hugh Jackman, who was like, 77 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 3: what am I doing here? So the whole thing has 78 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: been just such a big boondoggle. So but it's a 79 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: way for us to say, you know what, what was 80 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: the original case here, because people don't remember that this 81 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: is all about sexual harassment and fun fact, I was 82 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: on the set of It ends with Us because I 83 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: was doing stand in work and I got home that 84 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: day and I thought it was very odd.

I wasn't privy to anything. 86 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 3: But at the end of the shoot, Blake Lively said, 87 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: am I done? 88 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: Can I go?
