What ought to we make of this?
If Barbara Szeman has some form of motive to manufacture a narrative of Blake Vigorous being “imply,” we have no idea of 1. In reality, evidently she regrets saying something in any respect because of the public consideration.
It’s truly very regular for individuals to dislike working collectively. Typically, two professionals merely don’t vibe. They’ll have totally different communication types, totally different requirements, and conflict with out both occasion being “unhealthy.”
That mentioned … typically, on a specific day or past, an individual may be an disagreeable coworker. Even disagreeable sufficient to drive somebody to stop.
We don’t know what issues had been like between Blake Vigorous and Barbara Szeman on that movie set. However we do know that this probably has no actual bearing on the scenario with Justin Baldoni … besides, in fact, that it’s unhealthy PR for Blake.
