Justin Baldoni's deposition reveals everything about why Blake Lively was so triggered by the word "sexy" and how she reacted to it. Also, as expected, as I said last week, Blake's team is on a high alert this week trying to smear Justin Baldoni and put him in a negative light.
00:00:00.000I find it very interesting that Blake would be mortified and the way she expresses that she would be mortified if Ryan didn't finish.
00:00:15.360Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Tja Stiflor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:23.640Oh my god, I can't believe I actually missed this part of Justin Baldoni's deposition when he was questioned by Blake Lively's attorneys.
00:00:33.800He added this evidence himself in the motion for summary judgment that he filed last week.
00:00:43.280And there's, as I said yesterday, there's so much new evidence here that it's been really challenging to go through it all.
00:00:49.380But this part to me, it's so revealing and it says everything about why Blake Lively behaved the way she did on the set of It Ends With Us.
00:01:01.800Justin is asked about how he approached the intimate scenes in the movie and then he's explaining how Blake made it personal
00:01:10.860and then revealed how terrified she is of not giving Ryan what he wants in bed.
00:01:22.420And let's do a little deep dive into why she was so triggered by the word sexy.
00:01:29.240Also, as expected, I said last week, Blake Lively's team is going to be on a high alert this week trying to plant stories about Justin Baldoni and put him in a negative light.
00:01:40.800And of course, that's what they're doing.
00:01:42.520You can see all the headlines now making a story out of a non-story.
00:01:47.600I will go through some of those as well.
00:01:49.940And we have to talk about this really disturbing ruling by the judge.
00:01:54.640He's now asking Jamie Heath, Justin Baldoni's partner at the Wayfair Studio, to give the entire video footage of his wife giving birth to their child
00:02:09.400so Blake Lively can invite her male attorneys and go through it frame by frame.
00:02:19.560And it says everything about how Blake Lively views other women and how she disrespects other women.
00:02:26.520And she has no issue with using another woman's most intimate and most beautiful moments and also her most vulnerable moments so that she can use that against this woman's husband to prove that he made her feel uncomfortable.
00:02:47.260Yeah, it just tells you everything you need to know about who Blake Lively really is.
00:02:53.400Also, there's some positive rules here.
00:02:55.520The judge rule in Melissa Nathan's favor.
00:02:59.240Melissa Nathan is the crisis manager that Justin Baldoni hired to help him out of the crisis when Blake Lively's team started the smear campaign against him.
00:03:09.960Okay, so let's start talking about Justin Baldoni's deposition and when he's asked about a lot of these sexy comments and also when he talks about how he presented the S scenes.
00:03:21.800I'm going to say that because I can't say the word here on YouTube, but this S scenes, the intimate scenes in the movie when he presented his ideas to Blake Lively, how she reacted to it.
00:03:32.560So let's look at this from a psychological perspective here.
00:03:36.040We know that when Blake Lively came into this movie, she just had a baby and she had insecurities about her body.
00:03:45.620There are text messages between her and Justin where she says she is a bit concerned that she won't be back into shape when they start filming.
00:03:55.280So he's trying to comfort her, saying that it's going to be fine no matter what.
00:04:00.920And then someone mentioned to me in a DM the other day, which makes so much sense to me.
00:04:06.040That Blake Lively took over the wardrobe for, of course, because she wanted to have more control of the movie, but also because she wanted to control how her body looked.
00:04:18.600She chose only big baggy clothes for Lily.
00:04:23.120There is no real revealing outfits except when she goes to a party once in a dress.
00:04:29.500But apart from that, it's all big clothing that covers up her body.
00:04:36.240We also know that she was very sensitive about the weight because she did accuse Justin Baldoni of fat shaming her.
00:04:43.620So Justin asked her personal trainer, who she recommended to him, so he started using him as well as his personal trainer.
00:04:50.880He asked his personal trainer, how much do you think Blake weigh?
00:04:56.080I have to lift her in a scene and I need to be prepared for that because I have back issues.
00:05:11.700Then Ryan invites Justin Baldoni to their Tribeca penthouse and then he yells at Justin for five hours straight on how he could fat shame his wife and other things that she accused him of doing on the sets.
00:05:25.980Then that story got leaked to TMZ and they did a big story on Justin fat shaming Blake Lively.
00:05:34.760Then on several occasions, as we've seen from video evidence, Blake likes to call her own outfit sexy.
00:05:42.300She calls her shoe sexy, her hat sexy, and she has no issues with using that word herself.
00:05:48.480But when Justin uses that word, it triggers her.
00:05:59.660It's quite obvious to me that Blake is projecting her own insecurities onto Justin and the fact that he was not attracted to her and she could feel that, that also triggered her.
00:06:14.000And it made her feel frustrated because she's used to men gazing at her in a special way because she's used to being this beauty icon in Hollywood.
00:06:23.560And all of a sudden, this man is just looking at her professionally and it really upsets her.
00:07:08.660And as an actress, as I've seen a lot of actresses, they need a lot of validation.
00:07:13.880And Blake Lively needs a lot of validation because she just gave birth to a baby and she doesn't feel sexy.
00:07:20.520So if you add all of Blake Lively's insecurities about her own body and how she projects that onto Justin, this next part is going to make a lot of sense too.
00:07:30.940Because in this deposition that Justin added to his new evidence, Blake's attorney keeps asking him about the intimate scenes in the movie and how he chose how to shoot them.
00:07:44.780He's asking Justin how he came up with the idea of shooting things from a female gaze, from a female point of view.
00:07:53.480And Justin said that he had discussions about this with the intimacy coordinator and they came up with an idea that Justin really liked.
00:08:02.240So Justin then went to Blake to suggest how to shoot this from a female gaze.
00:08:08.500And he asked Blake what she felt about the idea that Lily and Ryle would have intimacy together.
00:08:19.180And then Lily would have her, but Ryle would not.
00:08:24.300And then Ryle would look at Lily and say,
00:08:26.740When he suggested that to Blake, this is what happened.
00:08:34.240I'm going to read from his deposition.
00:08:37.240When I shared that with Miss Lively, she then made it personal and said,
00:08:42.180Oh God, that would mortify me if that happened to me.
00:08:45.740To which I then responded, as one does, because when you're two grown adults with children who are married in the context of talking about S scenes, intimate scenes,
00:08:57.540with a movie that you're making with a person who is understanding that there are going to be intimate scenes in a book based with a lot of intimacy in it.
00:09:09.120The only thing you really have to share are personal experiences.
00:09:12.920So I said, Oh, well, some of the most beautiful moments have been when that's happened with me and my wife.
00:09:19.640I find it very interesting that Blake would be mortified and the way she expresses that she would be mortified if Ryan didn't finish.
00:09:29.720I think that says a lot about their relationship and her insecurities.
00:09:34.820Because if that happened, she would think that it was her fault that she couldn't satisfy him.
00:09:41.200And I think it also says a lot about Ryan Reynolds.
00:09:44.200And I think that Justin admitted that this has happened to him and his wife, and he thought it was beautiful, says a lot about him as a man.
00:09:51.660So Blake's attorney keeps questioning and he's saying,
00:09:54.700So you were interested in shooting the scene from the female gaze?
00:09:57.880I was interested in shooting all S scenes from the female gaze, says Baldoni.
