  1. After visiting Napa for the first time:

2. I <3 films + journalism so this is my two cents:

This might be random, but as a longtime NYT reader, I’ve been closely following the publication’s stance on a widely publicized Hollywood feud from the movie “It Ends With Us”—although lowkey, I’m way more interested in the Baldoni v. NYT lawsuit than the Baldoni v. Lively one LOL, because… well, celebrity feuds are mere gossips, but media defamation is serious. This is what I think after reading the NYT’s article after Mr. Baldoni and his publicists have sued The New York Times for libel over its reporting about Lively’s allegations:

  • It’s disappointing to see The New York Times’ handling of Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit against them. I approached their latest article hoping for some journalistic reflection—basically some recognition of the significant challenges raised against their original reporting in December of 2024. Instead, the NYT has chosen to sidestep the overwhelming counter-evidence presented on Baldoni’s website—a staggering 224 pages of documentation, all of which I have read in full (I actually read 224 pages I am so for reals rn), including the supporting evidence and detailed rebuttals. Honestly, I don’t really care, but if you ask me, it completely dismantles Lively and Reynolds’ claims, further exposing that numerous texts were omitted from NYT’s reporting in the lawsuit and confirms misinformation from both Lively and the NYT. Most importantly, it reveals the manipulation Lively has been orchestrating and that the Times may have been complicit in shaping a skewed online narrative and a vehicle for manipulation.

    After Baldoni’s website launched, rather than engaging with the substantive claims, the NYT published articles that appears to be doubling down on its own and/or Lively’s narrative, glossing over the cracks in its reporting. It increasingly feels as though they are veering into tabloid territory, operating less as a beacon of truth and, unfortunately, more like a tabloid itself—one that, alongside mainstream media, can be wielded as a tool to reinforce existing biases rather than challenge them. Again, just like in the article, so much information missing here. Since when did the NYT cared about celebrity feuds??? Pls! What is this bs lol.

    As someone who has long respected The New York Times, this is simply disheartening. Having participated in their Summer Internship 5 years ago, I was taught heavily on journalistic integrity—to question assumptions, follow the facts wherever they lead, and acknowledge gaps and potential loopholes in reporting rather than taking sides prematurely.

    I have no stake in celebrity feuds. At best they are meant to be taken lightly, because at the end of the day, until this lawsuit concludes and even long after, it remains just that: a spectacle of gossip. The public has nothing more to do with this other than giving it a shit ton of attention, and neither does it contribute meaningfully to society!!! Yet, witnessing the NYT entangle itself in this dispute in a manner that feels neither neutral nor responsible is frustrating as a longtime reader. Surely, there got to be more meaningful stories to cover than a sensationalized celebrity feud that has entirely overshadowed the very movie it was meant to promote—a film adapted from a best-selling book about domestic violence. To ignore that crucial subject while fixating on the off-screen drama between its two lead actors is not just irresponsible—it’s humiliating and tone-deaf.

    Journalism should be a discipline of accountability, not a tool for influence, let alone a tabloid perpetuating public prejudice on an ongoing lawsuit while omitting evidence to fit a narrative. So yeah, do better NYT. You’re not the Daily Mail, the Insider, nor Peoples Magazine. This is disappointing, but thanks for taking up my Jan notes app and distracting me from loads of Trump x Elon news hahahaha.
