Pop Culture commentary site Popcorned Planet’s President Andy Signore has reacted to his name being dragged into Blake Lively’s lawsuit. On the January 27 episode of the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, Morgan said that the whole thing with Lively and director Justin Baldoni is “bullsh*t.” He said:

“But they've dug themselves in particularly Blake Lively so deep there's no way out now than to keep plowing on and on and on. However, many relationships get torched in the process, one of which is Taylor Swift, we're told. I suspect there's going to be many more cause all these emails and texts keep leaking out. And it makes them all look like a bunch of mean girls, mean boys.”

Commenting on that, Andy Signore said he could talk about this for hours. According to him, this battle reflected the ego in Hollywood. He said:

“I mean, Blake Lively is literally subpoening me because of my coverage. Piers, it's gotten that ugly. I'm still in it here in the Tampa state of Tampa, Florida. They are subpoening me. I've appealed it to the to the 11th Circuit. I'm taking the Supreme Court. They're coming after me because of my reporting. That's why they're coming after me. It's absurd. It's absurd.”

According to Andy Signore, Justin Baldoni didn’t do anything to “warrant” any of this and did not even instigate the issue. He claimed that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds could have used all the money to help victims of domestic abuse.


Andy Signore says the case might get thrown out within a week if a Judge rules

Andy Signore said that the book, It Ends With Us, on which the film was based, was loved by many people. However, it ended up being overlooked because the movie was promoted badly. He felt the team could not accept criticism and also thought Blake Lively came across as cold and unkind during the promotion, which he found hard to understand.

Speaking about the text messages between Blake Lively and other notable actors in the industry, Piers Morgan said:

“I was reading the text messages. It's all such kind of pathetic, low rent, Hollywood cr*p, and yet hundreds of millions of dollars are getting invested in all this. And the irony of a movie called It Ends With Us, which is a really good film. It's one of the best films I've watched in a long time, right? Probably because of all the tension that was simmering around.”

Andy Signore opined that Justin Baldoni would “take the hit” in the case. Eventually, all of them would make movies. Speaking about the legal side of it, he said:

“If it goes to trial, because I was at the hearing last night, all this could get thrown out within the week if the judge goes, and I kind of hope he does, but if it doesn't and it goes to a jury, which is what Blake defended in the last hearing, this jury is going to laugh them out of the court.”

According to Andy Signore, Blake Lively would embarrass herself in court.
