Why Would Justin Baldoni Tell Blake Lively He's Circumcised?

"Why were these people on the topic? Well, allegedly when Baldoni met with a then-"very pregnant" (his words) Lively to convince her to do the film, they discussed whether or not she would circumcise her fourth child. In the process, he told his soon-to-be co-worker (along with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and a handful of other staff in the room) that he himself was circumcised."

"All we have to go off of is Baldoni and his PR team's deposition, with Lively's still sealed up, but the line of questioning mostly focuses on the extent to which the director and actor framed his reputation in the industry around being a male ally to women. Despite repeated insistence that things in the film were framed around the "female gaze" (something Baldoni defines as something inherent to anyone who is female),"

Unsealed deposition documents in the Wayfarer Studios v. Blake Lively case reveal that Justin Baldoni told Lively he was circumcised before production began. The disclosure occurred during a meeting where Baldoni, Lively (described as very pregnant), Ryan Reynolds, and staff discussed whether Lively would circumcise her fourth child. Baldoni and his PR team's deposition is public; Lively's remains sealed. Questioning centered on Baldoni's industry reputation as a male ally and his insistence that the film was framed around the female gaze, a concept he defines as inherent to anyone who is female. Baldoni faced on-set and script criticism from Lively and Jenny Slate.
