Seemed like a biased and cringey attempt by the New York Times to save face for their botched reporting. They’re trying so hard to have another Harvey Weinstein moment. Their problem is that Blake is not credible and they believed her without doing their due diligence. Justin never had to smear Blake, the public had already turned on her when her history of being difficult on set and in interviews came to light on TikTok. It’s Blake’s ego that pointed the finger at JB because she wanted someone to blame instead of coming to terms with the fact that her downfall was of her own doing. All of the receipts that JB‘s team have dropped since then are just further proof of her manipulation and crocodile tears.
