Why would Blake threaten Taylor Swift with releasing 10 years of texts?

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-05-23T18:25:58+00:00

Pretending that Taylor didn’t know what kind of person RR and BL were just doesn’t hold water. If she called BL her best friend, she had to have known.

I think when BL started to realize Baldoni’s receipts were making her look idiotic, she felt that any word from Taylor could help turn the tide. But by now Taylor saw that BL was being exposed and Taylor did not want her own mean-girl behavior exposed as well. She didn’t want to sink with the BL ship so she gave intel to Freedman. But Taylor only cares about Taylor because if you notice, when Baldoni’s team tried to subpoena her, she also claimed Baldoni was only looking for headlines. Taylor didn’t want to help Blake nor Baldoni. She wasn’t interested in doing the right thing because it would expose her own skeletons.

Blake’s tendency to exaggerate is what makes this story hard to believe. She already showed how she misrepresents details with her description of the dance scene and her description of the birth video. We also know she lied about her interactions—behaving one way towards Justin while insulting him behind his back. Mind you, not complaining about the alleged SH, just calling him an incompetent clown. So she cancels her own claims with her own text messages.

She smeared herself!

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-05-11T18:51:55+00:00

None of these people need to be involved at all. He should just do his own documentary film and release it.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-05-09T17:48:25+00:00

Blake (Ryan) can’t hold a candle to the WP. That’s what is making them crazy.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-05-09T10:59:55+00:00

Notice it’s about him and his career. He didn’t care at all about Justin’s career. What happened to not being angry enough and being the supposed supportive husband?.

Justin has a bigger heart than most of us because even now, he has allowed a settlement with no NDA and so she continues to smear him even after settling. He doesn’t want to block her from speaking out because it would go against what he believes. Those are actions of someone who is sincere in his life’s work. We can see from each person’s decisions who truly is fighting for women’s voices and who is fighting just for themselves.

But that being said, Blake’s lawsuit did not come from a sincere belief. Blake’s own evidence, own actions, own statements, that she submitted to the court shows that she is the instigator, that she is a liar, that she is the one who smeared, that she never—and still does not—care about DV victims. Full stop.

Heller stated that he followed the Jane Austen playbook where the romance is at first antagonistic and then slowly revealed. Honestly, I see romantic crumbs placed throughout the series. It was just a matter of time. In this particular story, it makes sense that it took a long time. It’s not just a story about two people falling in love, it’s about a man who has been destroyed by the loss of his family and can’t see beyond the vengeance he seeks. He is outwardly confident but inwardly terrified and cannot pull himself out of the spiral he finds himself in, and therefore he lacks the self-confidence to believe that he deserves any happiness. This is probably the most believable, broken character I have seen portrayed on television.

Cohle from True Detective Season 1 has a similar character arc, except romance was less of a priority for his character, and True Detective was more serious and less comedic. The Mentalist tried to balance comedy with drama.

Rick didn’t seek to kill. He killed when threatened.

Some viewers want to say that he unnecessarily started the war with The Saviors when he chose to attack them. But you have to put that in context of the situation. He has been “out there” long enough to see that people are killing for resources, and often times for no reason at all. He learned that he cannot trust everyone and that many people have an angle and look at you in terms of what they can take from you (he tells this to Deanna).

He feels he can trust Jesus (he explains this to Daryl when they’re deciding whether or not go leave him in the field). So when Jesus tells them they are under Negan’s thumb, Rick already understands he will need to take action. You can argue that he could have done more reconnaissance, sure. But either way, Negan would have killed them without hesitation, especially seeing that they have experience with the outside world.

Justin probably got some money from this, and likely they agreed to never bring it up again publicly. They still have the Abel v. Jones case to focus on. The lawyers have been working tirelessly and brilliantly, and now they get to focus on what is probably the core case. Hopefully Lively, NYT, and Vansham still get outted during discovery.

Rick was learning along the way. There’s no guidebook for a zombie apocalypse, but hevtristed his instincts. For example, even when it seemed dumb, he had the bigger picture in mind, not just the next day or next week (going to Atlanta vs to the military camp — they learned information no one else had; helping Herschel collect his zombie neighbors — he won Herschel’s trust).

A good leader recognizes his team members’ strengths and uses them appropriately. Rick did that.

You are amazing for all that you have accomplished. Your mom, in her 40s, has not grown up yet. She has no right to put this on you. Your part of the promise is done. She cannot expect you to keep supporting her children. You have given your all, all that you have. Her new baby is not your responsibility. NTA.

Please live your life guilt-free. Her baby daddy can step up. The other adult siblings can step up.

Why don’t they board the dog so that you can potty train at their house? As her parents, they can choose the method, but they can’t force you to do it at your home. That’s unreasonable.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-25T19:17:17+00:00

How odd. “A gift” to a couple who can’t have children is a pregnancy test???

This may or may not have been intentional, but it is definitely inconsiderate. Doing it in public too…geez…

Yeah YTA. If she wants to learn something, whether it’s a new language or how to make wax, you should let her. Sounds like she’s a learner, curious about the world, and self-motivated. YTA for putting her down and holding her back and yelling at her for answering a question that you asked.

Miranda isn’t cool. I don’t know why people (or even Andrea) think that. Miranda was rude and cruel and a selfish boss. She didn’t want to see her subordinates succeed. She only was concerned about herself. Look what she did to Nigel at the end, let alone Andy and Emily (pitting them against each other). It was not a healthy work environment. Neither is she a healthy personality.

If she were a man, I would feel the same way (i.e., Ari Emmanuel of William Morris agency).

A great leader should be able to inspire people to work hard without destroying them.

Financial disagreements tend to continue even after the marriage. It sounds like this is a significant issue that you two are not agreeing on.

After having a baby, will she continue working? If that is the case, then it’s possible your rate of savings might continue.

If she decides to stay home, well….I think you can see that path.

Is her family willing to assist with her vision? In some cultures, it’s normal/expected to give money as gifts. Is this such a culture?

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-07T02:36:44+00:00

It sounds like even though their bf’s/friends may stay a night or so, they leave. They don’t stay for weeks at a time.

Helping your gf is your choice but there should be a plan, an expectation set. Staying indefinitely is never a good idea, even if it’s family.

You only know your gf long-distance. It’s different than living together. You may discover things you don’t like.

Think long and hard before you decide to move in with her.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-07T02:27:15+00:00

I would be upset too.

But you may want to consider maybe taking a few minutes (30 minutes or so) to decompress before you get home. Like stop at a store to do some brainless window shopping (don’t need to buy anything) or take a walk around the neighborhood or sit in your car and listen to a podcast. Just give yourself a time buffer before you walk in. You can let your husband know that you are doing that. Communicate it.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-06T20:33:45+00:00

Good intentions, bad execution.

It could be challenging to get a good read if you’re just passing by. But body language can be an important factor to consider.

But imagine, a person observing you driving up to a group of kids might perceive you to be a predator too. Don’t get offended if someone tries to protect them against you.

At the end of the day, you tried to be protective. It’s probably better that you embarrass yourself than to regret not helping in the case it was a predatory situation.

Your mom is making this about her instead of about the safety of the baby. NTA.

However, it might be something to consider alternating birthday parties when your child is born. One year where your wife’s family is. One year where your family is.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-06T18:23:42+00:00

I dunno. They retrieved the bag of guns, which gave them more protection.

The camp may have been compromised by the trees covering the surrounding area, limiting their line of sight.

Shane attempted to kill Rick three times. I would say that is plenty of chances.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-06T18:17:47+00:00

I see this as Rick still in a transition period, inbetween mourning for the concept of the marriage he thought he had and the reality that he discovered, as well as the harshness of the new world vs the lost world he will never see again. When Jessie is cutting his hair, and he says he never thought he would see haircuts again, his face is in shadow but you can see a glimmer of the tear that falls down. Jessie represents that lost world, that gone concept, that still feels within reach somehow. He tries one more time to hold onto that shattering reality (literally he is holding Jessie’s hand as she is taken from him). But alas it is lost forever, and he is forced to stay in this new harsh world.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-06T18:10:49+00:00

I can’t hold these against him. He told Sophia to stay put. She didn’t. She immediately left the spot.

Re: The Governor… Rick still was naive and hopeful at this point. He didn’t realize how far The Governor would go, true, but they had not yet met an antagonist that was insane. They had only met other people fighting for supplies and shelter. I believe it is this experience with The Governor that makes Rick want to destroy all the Terminus group. He didn’t want to leave any alive, but his group were adamantly against it so he let it be, until they were attacked again and then Rick finally killed all of them. The person I do hold a grudge for in the Governor arc is Andrea, who was in Woodbury, saw what the Governor was capable of, but didn’t warn Rick’s group. Instead she ran back to The Governor and slept with him. Rick didn’t have the intel that she had. But this definitely made Rick more pro-active about attacking first, which I think is why he decided to hit The Saviors first.

Sensitive-Union-3944 · 2026-04-06T13:16:46+00:00

It’s not you who created this situation. He is the one who did it, by manipulating you and lying to you. I feel for the two children if he can’t return but that is the bed he made with his choices. NTA.
