    Not sure if I am misunderstanding this…

    Films usually take some time to make. From what I can surmise, this scene was likely shot before the allegations arose, and for Baldoni to point this out is perhaps an admission of guilt?

      Yeah, I don’t think they’ve thought this one through. They are basically saying: “that character who is comes across as an annoying douchebag but claims to be a feminist as a cover for them being a dick, is totally based on me.”

      I didn’t know who he was but understood it as a jab at a certain type of guy. If he thinks it is based on him, that may say more about him that the script. I imagine folks in Hollywood run across such oily creeps 10 times a day.

    I’m not surprised, that Gambit role was clearly based on my own life story. Ryan is just pissed that I beat him to the punch on prepaid internet access, and he had to settle for the less lucrative prepaid cell service.
