Suicide Squad 2016 director David Ayer has responded to an online backlash against his support for James Gunn’s Superman and its recently released debut trailer.
Ayer, whose widely panned Suicide Squad movie formed a part of the now defunct DCEU, had initially taken to X/Twitter to ask fans not to launch the latest ‘Ayer Cut’ campaign at the same time as Thursday’s Superman trailer release date.
“I didn’t realize James was dropping Creature Commandos when the last Ayer cut campaign hit,” Ayer tweeted. “The new Superman trailer is dropping soon and I know there’s intentions of another campaign for my version of Skwad.
“As a film makers [sic] I want to support other film makers. I’m excited to see the trailer and have heard through the rumor mill it’s pretty incredible.
“I just want to publicly say it would be nice to stay far clear of Thursday for any campaigning.
“I appreciate everyone hearing me out. At the end of the day I’m riding a tiger here. Just going in heard [sic] on this. ”
Some of the reaction to this tweet, particularly from supporters of the Ayer Cut campaign, went overboard, rekindling memories of the infamous Zack Snyder fandom that played a part in the 2021 release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League. Ayer, clearly exacerbated by what he’d witnessed on social media last week, announced he was taking a “step back” from the discourse.
“My Lord,” he tweeted. “If supporting another film maker is so contentious, I’m just lost at this point.
“When I was a kid I had a nightmare childhood. My best friends were comic books. They held me and gave me company when no one else did.
“Batman spoke to my injured soul. Superman’s optimism was an example how to see the world without darkness.
“I cannot f***ing wait to see Jame’s [sic] trailer. Real talk. And I cannot wait to see his film. And absolutely am sure he crushed it. Because that simple optimism of Superman is all over it. And the little kid in me needs that right now.
“I’m a bad guy for that? So be it.
“I do troll what I can control. And can’t what I can’t. Gonna step back from all this for a moment.”

Recently, director David Ayer has found himself in the midst of controversy over his public support of James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, amid the ongoing campaign for the release of his own cut of “Suicide Squad.”
After Gunn’s involvement in the DC Extended Universe was announced, Ayer took to social media to express his excitement for the project, praising Gunn’s talent and expressing his belief that the filmmaker would do justice to the iconic character of Superman.
However, Ayer’s comments were met with backlash from fans who have been pushing for the release of the “Ayer Cut” of “Suicide Squad,” a version of the film that reportedly differs significantly from the theatrical release.
In response to the criticism, Ayer took to Twitter to address the situation, stating that he fully supports Gunn and his vision for Superman, while also acknowledging the disappointment felt by fans who are still hoping to see his original vision for “Suicide Squad” come to light.
Ayer’s comments have sparked a debate among fans, with some applauding his humility and support for Gunn, while others continue to express their frustration over the lack of acknowledgment for the “Ayer Cut.”
As the discussion continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Ayer’s statements will help to quell the backlash or if the campaign for the release of the “Ayer Cut” will only grow stronger in response.

The 37-year-old Gossip Girl actor stars as Lily Bloom in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling 2016 novel, which centers around a flower shop owner’s abusive relationship with her partner, Ryle Kincaid, played by Baldoni.
The complaint, which was filed with the California Civil Rights Department and is the precursor to a lawsuit, is the culmination of months of speculation from fans and the media, after rumors of a rift between Baldoni, who also directed the movie, and the rest of the cast overshadowed its promotion.
Legal documents seen by The Independent as well as an investigation by The New York Times accuse Baldoni and associates of a targeted effort to “destroy” the actor and drag her in the media, which Lively says has caused her “severe emotional distress.”

The legal filing
Lively filed a legal complaint on Friday in which she claimed that a meeting took place in early January to address the “hostile work environment that had almost derailed the film.” She accused Baldoni and lead producer Jamey Heath of “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior,” including unwanted improvised kissing from Baldoni.
According to the complaint, the actor had a number of requirements in order for her to continue work on the film, including:
— No more showing nude videos or images of women, including producer’s wife, to Lively and/or her employees.
— No more mention of Baldoni or Heath’s previous “pornography addiction”
— No more discussions to Lively and/or her employees about personal experiences with sex
— No more descriptions of their own genitalia to Lively
— No more mention by Baldoni of him “speaking to” Lively’s late father
Baldoni appeared at multiple press events for the film alone, after Lively and other cast members reportedly refused to make appearances with him (Invision)
The filing also alleged that Baldoni had “inserted improvised gratuitous sexual content and/or scenes involving nudity into the film (including for an underage character) in highly unsettling ways,” without Lively’s knowledge.
Lively alleges that after Sony Pictures approved her requests, Baldoni hired a special team and began a campaign to “destroy” her reputation.

The actor, the filing states, suffered “substantial harm caused by this malicious campaign, which pervaded, and continues to pervade, all aspects of Ms. Lively’s life.”
The ‘smear’ campaign
Lively’s 80-page filing includes excerpts from thousands of pages of text messages and emails between Baldoni, public relations executive Jennifer Abel and crisis management expert, Melissa Nathan.
According to The Times, Nathan has previously worked for high profile figures including Johnny Depp and rappers Drake and Travis Scott.
Message exchanges included in the filing allegedly show how the trio sought to create a “plan” to deal with speculation on social media and control the narrative, providing “protection” to Baldoni. “He wants to feel like [Lively] can be buried,” Abel wrote to Nathan.
“You know we can bury anyone,” Nathan later replied.

The complaint also states that on August 4, Abel texted Nathan, stating, “I’m having reckless thoughts of wanting to plant pieces this week of how horrible Blake is to work with… Just to get ahead of it.” Nathan responded, “same,” and indicated that she had already spoken to certain media outlets.
Around two weeks later, per the filing, Nathan shared an article headlined “Is Blake Lively set to be CANCELLED?” “Wow. You really outdid yourself with this piece,” Abel replied.
“That’s why you hired me right?” Nathan replied. “I’m the best.”
The press tour ‘rift’
Speculation about a rift between Baldoni and the rest of the cast first erupted during the movie’s promotional tour, following its release on August 9.

Fans noted Baldoni’s absence from joint press events, a lack of group photos featuring both Lively and Baldoni together at premieres, and the fact that the cast — as well as Lively’s husband, fellow Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds — had unfollowed Baldoni on Instagram.
According to The Times, Lively and other cast members had informed Sony and Wayfarer, the movie’s distributor and studio, that they would not do any appearances alongside Baldoni.
Colleen Hoover reportedly had her own issues with him and had become more upset after learning that Lively had made complaints about Baldoni’s on-set behavior to the studio. She also did not appear with Baldoni at press events, and unfollowed him on Instagram.
Effect on Lively

Shortly after the release of It Ends with Us, the actor was flooded with negative press that ultimately became a high percentage of her online presence, according to a review she sought from a brand marketing consultant, reported by The Times.
Media articles branded her as tone-deaf and a bully, with some outlets speculating whether she was “set to be canceled.” Her hair-care line — Blake Brown — reportedly experienced a drop in sales of some 78 percent.
One day after the release of the movie, Kjersti Flaa, a Norwegian entertainment reporter, uploaded a 2016 interview to YouTube, in which Lively snapped back about comments on her baby “bump” and appeared standoffish for the remainder of the interview.
Flaa titled the video “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job,” and told The Daily Mail that “it’s time that people behaving badly in Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter, gets called out for it.”
In contrast, earlier this month Baldoni was honored at an event celebrating men who “elevate women, combat gender-based violence and promote gender equality worldwide.”
The Fallout
A statement from Bryan Freedman, who is representing Baldoni, stated that Lively’s complaint was “yet another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film.”
“Interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the internet to generate their own views and opinions,” the statement, shared with The Times read.
Freedman added that the allegations were “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.”

However, others have already spoken out in support of the actor, including her sister and Colleen Hoover. “FINALLY justice for my sister @BlakeLively,” Robyn Lively wrote on her Instagram story on Saturday, highlighting specific sentences and phrases from the Times article.
In her own story, Hoover wrote: “@blakelively you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive, and patient since the day we met. Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
Faa, whose “nightmare” 2016 interview with Lively was also referenced in the suit, also denied she had been part of any targeted campaign against the actor
Addressing the situation in a YouTube video, Flaa said that she would “never take money to jeopardize my integrity as a journalist.” “Some people have started these conspiracies that I am connected to the PR campaign against Blake Lively; that is not true,” she said.
The Independent previously contacted Baldoni and Lively’s representation for comment about the complaint and the accusations.
Blake Lively recently filed a lawsuit against actor and director Justin Baldoni, accusing him of launching a ‘smear’ campaign against her. The lawsuit alleges that Baldoni has been spreading false and defamatory statements about Lively in an attempt to damage her reputation and career.
So far, details about the specific nature of the alleged ‘smear’ campaign have been scarce. However, sources close to Lively have stated that Baldoni’s actions have had a significant impact on her personal and professional life.
Lively’s legal team is reportedly seeking damages for the harm caused by Baldoni’s actions, as well as a public apology and a retraction of the false statements. Baldoni has yet to publicly respond to the lawsuit.
As the case unfolds, more information is expected to come to light about the motivations behind Baldoni’s alleged actions and the true extent of the damage caused to Lively. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
Marianne Williamson sprang into the spotlight in the late 1980s as an advisor to the stars, characterized in a 1991 Vanity Fair feature as “a liberal, Jewish ex-lounge singer from Texas” who brought A Course in Miracles—a book allegedly dictated to its author by Jesus Christ—into the mainstream. Now 72, she’s since moved from the spiritual realm into the political, throwing her hat into the Democratic presidential ring in 2020, and again in 2024.
Williamson’s non-traditional stances on the 2019 campaign trail feel almost quaint compared to RFK, Jr.’s during the most recent election cycle, but such is the frog-in-pot life of America in 2024. Still, her announcement that, if elected, she’d launch a Department of Peace, or that hurricanes could be controlled by collective meditation, or that “James Cameron deserves a Nobel Peace Price” for Avatarstill managed to raise even the most jaded political watchers’ brows, as did allegations of a toxic and abusive environment for campaign staffers in 2020. (Williamson, for her part, has denied those allegations, calling them a “distraction technique.”)
But though the heavily-memed former candidate appeared to eventually realize that her path to the White House began and ended with her vision board, the spiritualist wants to remain in the game. In her subscription newsletter, “TRANSFORM with Marianne Williamson,” the teacher (who just yesterday used her platform to announce “only love is real”) posted an open letter to DNC members saying that “The MAGA phenomenon now challenges the very way that politics are done in America, and the traditional tool kit of party organizing will not be enough to meet the moment.”
Williamson, who just last month tweeted “Good choice!” in response to Donald Trump’s announcement that Kennedy would be named the country’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, writes that “President Trump has ushered in an age of political theatre – a collective adrenaline rush that has enabled him to not only move masses of people into his camp but also masses of people away from ours.”
While Williamson does not mention the top contenders to replace DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who led the party since 2021 and isn’t expected to seek another term, her criticism of the Dem’s current strategies seems a shot at traditional candidates such as Minnesota Democratic Party Chair Ken Martin, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Homeland Security official Nate Snyder, Sen. James Skoufis, and Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler. “Data analysis, fundraising, field organizing, and beefed-up technology – while all are important – will not be enough to prepare the way for Democratic victory in 2024 and beyond,” Williamson writes, proposing “A party that listens more, and makes people feel that their thoughts and feelings are as important as their wallets.”
The DNC is slated to hold its election for positions, including its chair, on February 1, with four candidate forums planned throughout January. Williamson is the only woman, thus far, to announce her candidacy for the role.
In a video that accompanied her letter, Williamson said, “Donald Trump is a 21st-century political phenomenon, and we need to become one, too … We need to know what it was that made people feel that their wallets were more important than their pain. We need to understand what it is that has made people emotionally and psychologically disconnect from a sense that the Democratic Party was part of a great legacy in American history.”
Marianne Williamson, best-selling author and spiritual teacher, has announced her campaign to lead the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Williamson, known for her advocacy of love and compassion in politics, believes that her leadership can bring a new vision to the party.
In a statement released today, Williamson stated, “Our party is at a crossroads, and we need a leader who can inspire unity and bring a sense of purpose to our movement. I believe that my message of love and healing can help heal the divisions within our party and bring us closer to our values of justice and equality.”
Williamson’s campaign will focus on grassroots organizing, building a diverse coalition of supporters, and advocating for progressive policies that address the needs of all Americans. She has already gained support from a number of prominent figures in the party, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
As the DNC prepares for a new chapter in its history, Marianne Williamson’s candidacy offers a fresh perspective and a commitment to building a more inclusive and compassionate Democratic Party. Stay tuned for updates on her campaign and how you can get involved in supporting her vision for the party.
