Scarlett Johansson Praised Over Blake Lively in Lawsuit Drama
4 Feb
Summary
- Wayfarer Studios co-founder Steve Sarowitz lauded Scarlett Johansson's professional conduct.
- Sarowitz contrasted Johansson's positive experience with a negative one involving Blake Lively.
- Johansson's directorial debut film 'Eleanor the Great' is partially backed by Wayfarer Studios.
Scarlett Johansson's first directorial venture, the film 'Eleanor the Great,' has placed her within the ongoing legal conflict between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Wayfarer Studios, a partial financial backer of Johansson's project, has become central to this entanglement.
Steve Sarowitz, co-founder of Wayfarer Studios and a billionaire, provided a glowing review of Scarlett Johansson. He described her as "cool, calm, collected and confident... and nice," highlighting a positive first-time directorial experience.
In stark contrast, Sarowitz expressed a significantly less favorable view of Blake Lively. He noted that while most people are pleasant to work with, Lively was "totally different" and implied she "forgot to learn how to be nice."
These comments surfaced in legal documents filed by Lively's attorney. Simultaneously, filmmaker Claire Ayoub, who worked on a Wayfarer-produced project with Baldoni, allegedly experienced "repeated, negative interactions" and "verbal abuse" from Lively, further complicating the situation.
