This Blake Energetic accusation dates again to ‘A Simple Favor’
Again in 2018, Barbara Szeman labored as an assistant director on A Easy Favor, which starred Blake Energetic and Anna Kendrick.
One other Easy Favor — a sequel — comes out quickly. Henry Golding’s Instagram put up on the topic is the place the accusation got here to mild.
In a reply, Szeman wrote: “I worked with you on the first one. My experience with everyone was absolutely amazing, except for a certain someone who is the reason I quit being an AD. Guess who that person is. …”

Szeman didn’t title Blake Energetic (or anybody else) in that imprecise put up. As an alternative, she merely concluded: “I wish you all the best with this though!”
After including that dramatic tease within the remark, Szeman elaborated. She claimed that she had hoped to “avoid” drawing consideration — and alleged that the actress in query had been “cruel to many.”
Szeman alleged: “I know I cried my way home many nights because you try so hard to please someone who is never pleased and puts you down constantly. I can’t believe it’s actually getting back at her. Karma is real.”

Others have loved working with Blake Energetic
Barbara Szeman then responded on her Fb web page to the huge upswell of consideration that her snarky — however maybe cathartic — reply had obtained.
“Last time I leave a comment on an Instagram post,” she expressed.
When requested about how many individuals have described Blake Energetic as being “nice and lovely to work with,” Szeman acknowledged: “Maybe for them. Not for me.”

One other commenter wrote: “I’ve been thinking about you and this whole situation because you told me the stories so long ago. It’s good that you commented.”
Szeman responded to that put up with a “love” response.
That Fb put up is now not publicly accessible. One should infer that Szeman relearned the lesson of publicly seen social media commentary on controversial, polarizing matters involving A-list celebrities.

What ought to we make of this?
If Barbara Szeman has some type of motive to manufacture a narrative of Blake Energetic being “mean,” we have no idea of 1. Actually, it appears that evidently she regrets saying something in any respect as a result of public consideration.
It’s truly very regular for individuals to dislike working collectively. Typically, two professionals merely don’t vibe. They will have totally different communication types, totally different requirements, and conflict with out both celebration being “bad.”
That stated … generally, on a specific day or past, an individual might be an disagreeable coworker. Even disagreeable sufficient to drive somebody to stop.
We don’t know what issues had been like between Blake Energetic and Barbara Szeman on that movie set. However we do know that this doubtless has no actual bearing on the scenario with Justin Baldoni … besides, in fact, that it’s unhealthy PR for Blake.
