Look man, it really fucking sucks that Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly are on the right side of this story. They're in it for all the wrong reasons, fuck both of them. @MrBig makes a valid point above about X. We clearly know that X boosts right wing accounts and engagement. The fact that a "researcher" would use that app as proof is ridiculous . And any X bot activity is probably being pushed by someone involved with Owens or Kelly if I had to guess.
This whole drama is really being played out on YouTube. The content creators there are real people, and most are not overtly political. They just peddle in celeb gossip and reality TV shit. They are posting videos daily (sometimes multiple) with updates and reading through any updated legal documents that are released. And 95% of them believe Lively is the one in the wrong. The "Team Justin" stuff is fucking stupid, unfortunately that is the binary world we live in now.
I stopped paying close attention to this story, as it seems pretty clear based on evidence presented that Lively acted in bad faith from the beginning. Now just waiting for a resolution. But I do find it fascinating how lazy Jezebel and people like Taylor Lorenz have been. They assume if Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly and other right-wingers are "siding" with Baldoni, that the opposite must be true and that Lively is the victim. And they've gotten it wrong in this particular case.
