You didn’t think I’d stay quiet on the whole It Ends With Us drama, did you?
Let’s not forget – no matter how glossy the red carpets are, movie productions are workplaces. And just like your business, they’re supposed to follow the same rules. So when the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni case hit the headlines, my HR alarm bells went off…
Power dynamics. Boundary violations. Harassment. Retaliation.
This is my Super Bowl.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my favorite pop-culture aficionado and legal expert, Kelli Jones, to break down one of Hollywood’s juiciest legal cases. We’re diving into all the details we can’t stop obsessing over through the perspective of “relatable lessons every small business owner should take away from this story” along with a very on-brand side of “f the patriarchy.”
Join us as we gab about:
🗓️ A timeline of the drama (because context is key)
👥 How biases and the patriarchy shape public perception
🥴 The dangerous reality of power dynamics and blurred lines at work
📍 How allllll this drama relates back to your small business
Trust me, you’ll walk away with more than just celebrity gossip. (But also… the gossip is really good.)
