Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Baldoni's Publicist SPEAKS OUT !!

00:00:00.000 When you let aero truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow.

00:00:06.320 Like that pile of laundry. You didn't forget to fold it.

00:00:09.220 Nah, it's a new trend. Wrinkled chic.

00:00:12.080 Feel the aero bubbles melt. It's mind-bubbling.

00:00:15.160 And wow, has she suffered. And guess what she said about Justin Baldoni.

00:00:25.200 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Jashti Flohr, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:29.360 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:34.120 Okay, so Justin Baldoni's publicist, Jennifer Abel, just spoke out.

00:00:39.600 This is so heartbreaking.

00:00:42.440 Also, Colleen Hoover was just interviewed by the Today Show.

00:00:47.220 And wow, has she suffered.

00:00:49.500 And guess what she said about Justin Baldoni this time.

00:00:52.960 Also, remember I spoke about how Blake Lively's Instagram following

00:00:57.180 just got a huge jump on Tuesday?

00:00:59.800 Well, now we found these new followers.

00:01:02.960 This is so bad.

00:01:04.600 And we have to talk about Margot Robbie and her alleged feud

00:01:08.720 with the director of the Oceans prequel.

00:01:12.580 He just quit.

00:01:14.500 Okay, I told you earlier this week how Blake Lively

00:01:16.680 all of a sudden received 16,000 new followers on Tuesday this week.

00:01:21.460 Her following keeps declining every single day.

00:01:24.400 And then all of a sudden, bam, without there being any news articles about her,

00:01:28.360 without her posting any reels or posts or stories,

00:01:32.620 all of a sudden, all these people started following her.

00:01:35.780 And someone on Instagram pointed this out to me.

00:01:38.200 Thank you so much.

00:01:39.220 And I went in to look myself for who these people are.

00:01:42.660 And look at this.

00:01:44.840 No one is real.

00:01:47.580 Talking about a bot factory.

00:01:50.140 They don't even have a profile picture.

00:01:52.780 I've showed you before people that follow Blake Lively.

00:01:56.400 And most of them at least had a profile picture,

00:01:58.680 although it was the same person in every photo.

00:02:02.040 But this time, they don't even have a photo.

00:02:04.740 As I said before, Blake Lively having 41 million followers

00:02:08.800 is just so unrealistic.

00:02:11.680 Thinking about where her career is and where she is in her life,

00:02:15.120 she's not really that interesting.

00:02:16.700 So why would she have 41 million followers? 0.84

00:02:19.200 And I think before this all started, she had like 45 million.

00:02:23.240 So I think she lost basically half of her followers

00:02:26.360 because I think that realistically, she has like 10% of that. 0.80

00:02:30.960 I don't think she has more than 5 million real followers.

00:02:34.040 And things like this will also make her look terrible in front of a jury. 0.99

00:02:37.960 She's claiming that her popularity went down so much.

00:02:41.620 And then we're like, hey, how popular were you actually to begin with?

00:02:45.380 Because it doesn't look like it on your Instagram because your following is fake.

00:02:50.160 So how can she claim all the losses that she had

00:02:52.880 because of Justin Baldoni's smear campaign when her followers weren't even real?

00:02:58.620 And also that looks terrible for the brand deals that she made, 1.00

00:03:02.540 saying that she had like 44 million followers,

00:03:05.200 when in reality, 90% of them were bots.

00:03:09.180 I find this especially ironic since she is accusing Justin Baldoni of using bots.

00:03:14.520 And it's so obvious.

00:03:15.660 It can't be any clearer than looking at her own following on Instagram

00:03:20.100 that these are not real people.

00:03:22.900 Anyways, also someone sent me this.

00:03:25.180 Thank you, Forka.

00:03:26.100 An Instagram post that Blake Lively did back when she was promoting

00:03:30.780 It Ends With Us and cross-promoting Ryan Reynolds'

00:03:34.420 Deadpool vs. Wolverine movie.

00:03:36.200 And she posted this on Instagram.

00:03:38.580 And now it's so clear that this post was also a dig at Justin.

00:03:44.100 These two people are just so petty.

00:03:47.180 I just can't believe that they find joy in doing little jokes like this.

00:03:51.780 So in this post, it's really long.

00:03:53.960 And she doesn't know how to put a punctuation anywhere. 1.00

00:03:57.120 And it's got Blake Lively word salad all over it.

00:04:00.860 My Y2K girl is,

00:04:02.840 I should be competitive because It Ends With Us movie is coming out in three weeks.

00:04:06.600 But when you're middle school obsession,

00:04:09.340 your feelings post-baby,

00:04:11.620 or about nice men who use feminism as a tool,

00:04:16.400 your love of the Wizard of Oz succession,

00:04:18.720 Sandy and Danny,

00:04:19.700 driving with Avril blasting,

00:04:21.700 the way the choreography of a certain boy band song got me,

00:04:25.060 Baz Luhrmann fireworks,

00:04:26.320 blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:04:27.420 She's just saying a lot of things here.

00:04:28.960 But the fact that she said your feelings post-baby

00:04:32.960 or about nice men who use feminism as a tool,

00:04:37.680 the way her and Ryan were mocking Justin publicly

00:04:41.780 without anyone really understanding it,

00:04:44.360 it was just their sense of humor.

00:04:46.700 We can now see what bullies they are.

00:04:50.020 Anyways, let's get into what Justin Baldoni's publicist

00:04:53.340 just posted on Instagram.

00:04:55.660 This is so heartbreaking, you guys.

00:04:59.200 So just a quick reminder what happened to her.

00:05:02.200 She worked for Stephanie Jones,

00:05:03.960 the woman who owns Jones' work. 0.97

00:05:06.460 The company was hired to represent Justin Baldoni,

00:05:09.580 and Jennifer Abel was the point of contact

00:05:11.860 for the welfare parties and for Justin Baldoni.

00:05:14.560 Around August of 2024,

00:05:16.280 Jennifer Abel decided to leave Stephanie Jones. 0.78

00:05:19.320 She didn't like her methods,

00:05:20.980 and as we've seen in a lot of text exchange,

00:05:23.760 Stephanie Jones seemed like a very untrustworthy person. 0.90

00:05:27.420 She says something to someone,

00:05:29.080 and then her actions show something else.

00:05:32.280 She was blaming everyone for smearing each other,

00:05:35.260 while she allegedly was behind a lot of those planted stories.

00:05:39.020 But anyways, when Jennifer Abel told her she wanted to leave,

00:05:41.920 and she was bringing Justin Baldoni with her,

00:05:44.300 she got furious.

00:05:46.200 And when Jennifer Abel came to the office to pick up our stuff,

00:05:49.300 she was met by a security guard and an attorney,

00:05:53.520 and they said, give us your phone.

00:05:56.360 So she had to hand over her phone.

00:05:59.340 She didn't know better at the time.

00:06:01.280 She could have refused to do that.

00:06:02.780 They were saying, the company paid for your phone.

00:06:05.620 But the fact is that Jennifer Abel had this phone number

00:06:09.200 since she was 15 years old.

00:06:12.360 Everyone knew her through this phone number.

00:06:16.060 They promised her that she would get her phone back.

00:06:18.700 That never happened.

00:06:21.240 And it looks like they're still accessing her phone.

00:06:24.740 Blake Lively and Stephanie Jones still can read her text messages

00:06:30.460 from people who believe that they're actually texting Jennifer Abel.

00:06:34.460 I saw without a crystal ball was posting this phone number

00:06:37.420 and said to people, hey, if you want to get in touch

00:06:40.740 with Blake Lively of Stephanie Jones,

00:06:43.120 you can just text his number.

00:06:44.700 I'm sure they're going to read the messages.

00:06:46.220 And we all know what happened to the content of this phone.

00:06:50.020 It was given to Blake Lively.

00:06:52.260 Stephanie Jones was so upset with her ex-employee 1.00

00:06:57.420 that she wanted to ruin her life.

00:07:01.080 And she knew that Blake Lively was at war

00:07:03.920 with Justin Baldoni and Jennifer Abel

00:07:07.660 and basically also herself.

00:07:10.240 But then she thought, hey, I'll better jump over to that side

00:07:13.740 because that means that I can really harm Jennifer Abel

00:07:17.400 for what she did to me when she decided to start her own company.

00:07:21.540 So Stephanie Jones got in touch with someone,

00:07:23.700 I think it was a makeup artist or someone that knew Taylor Swift.

00:07:27.380 And allegedly, Taylor Swift told Blake Lively

00:07:30.280 and the two of them got in touch.

00:07:32.680 This is a text that Taylor sent to Blake

00:07:34.660 after that New York Times article was published.

00:07:37.140 She said, you won, you did it.

00:07:38.740 It's turning, says Ryan Reynolds.

00:07:41.620 He was also in this group text with Taylor.

00:07:44.520 And Taylor said, and you effing helped so many people

00:07:46.980 who won't have to go through this ever again.

00:07:49.080 It's so funny to read these texts now.

00:07:51.280 And Ryan said, remember August saying like,

00:07:53.440 oh, everything was so horrible back then.

00:07:55.640 But now you're the queen and everyone looks up to you

00:07:58.400 because you speak for all women.

00:08:00.300 And Taylor says, never has a cancellation been reversed so fast.

00:08:04.820 Well, she didn't know what was going to happen one week later.

00:08:09.360 You guys don't understand how rare this is, she says,

00:08:12.060 to have proof and to take the perfect steps

00:08:14.680 to bring that truth into light.

00:08:17.240 Oh, like my God, says Blake, I love you so much.

00:08:20.780 I would not be okay through any of this

00:08:22.880 if it weren't for you, she says to Blake.

00:08:26.460 And Taylor says, can you believe she just called?

00:08:30.220 And was like, this PR chick wants to get info to Blake. 1.00

00:08:35.400 That means the world.

00:08:37.760 And Blake says, it changed my life.

00:08:40.660 So it's obvious that Taylor was also involved

00:08:44.340 in helping this phone get to Blake.

00:08:47.580 Anyways, you know what happened from there.

00:08:49.860 Then Blake lively thought,

00:08:51.180 oh, how can I use this content of this phone legally?

00:08:54.000 And she was probably told by someone,

00:08:55.820 you need to sue someone and just make up a lawsuit.

00:08:59.040 So they made up a lawsuit

00:09:00.600 and then they filed a subpoena to Stephanie Jones.

00:09:03.220 So they would get hold of that phone

00:09:04.860 so that they could give the content legally

00:09:07.300 to the New York Times.

00:09:09.260 There's been a lot of talk about that lawsuit

00:09:11.700 that was dropped the day before Blake lively

00:09:14.880 filed that CRD complaint in California.

00:09:18.740 So it's so obvious that the only reason for that lawsuit

00:09:21.520 was to get hold of that phone.

00:09:23.220 And that makes it so shady.

00:09:25.660 And some people are even calling it illegal.

00:09:28.100 Anyways, let's look at how Jennifer Abel described 0.98

00:09:31.340 how this has been for her,

00:09:33.760 that someone took her phone

00:09:35.660 and was able to access everything on that phone.

00:09:39.840 She says here, let's talk about privacy for a hot sec.

00:09:43.640 Let's talk about personal security

00:09:45.460 and the right to have everything you hold sacred

00:09:47.800 to be kept, protected, and private.

00:09:50.940 Personal information about your friends,

00:09:53.680 family, financial information,

00:09:56.100 health information, business information,

00:09:59.800 things we take for granted,

00:10:01.200 just assuming it's safe and protected

00:10:03.480 because it's on our person.

00:10:05.300 Then all of a sudden it's ripped from you.

00:10:07.780 And not only can you no longer access these things

00:10:10.400 that you've assumed was safe

00:10:12.360 for the past 30 plus years,

00:10:14.320 but it's in the hands of someone who prays for

00:10:16.740 and rejoices in your utter destruction.

00:10:21.340 They send that information to everyone they know,

00:10:24.840 colleagues, professional partners, and contacts,

00:10:29.120 some people you've never met,

00:10:30.980 the media, you're humiliated.

00:10:33.600 Your moments of pettiness, humor, and gossip

00:10:35.960 shared in the confines of friends and loved ones,

00:10:39.120 work husbands, and your actual husband,

00:10:43.160 all fodder for the word to dissect and judge you for.

00:10:46.780 You lose friends, business, your livelihood,

00:10:50.020 which relies on trust and privacy,

00:10:52.640 is threatened and impacted.

00:10:55.300 You get death threats.

00:10:57.040 You have to start over at almost 40 years old,

00:10:59.660 and then you're told that there's nothing you can do

00:11:02.500 to stop the constant interception of information.

00:11:06.320 Just change your password and move on.

00:11:09.000 And then she's sharing here a message from TikTok.

00:11:11.640 Your account phone number was removed in New York,

00:11:14.700 and this wasn't you.

00:11:15.760 Check in on TikTok.

00:11:16.560 They went into her social media as well,

00:11:19.160 and she's saying here,

00:11:20.120 you wake up to alerts like this for your socials,

00:11:22.660 your email addresses, your business websites,

00:11:24.920 and realize that the online security threats

00:11:27.460 are still occurring now, two years later,

00:11:31.320 meaning that they're still accessing her phone.

00:11:33.580 Your old phone that you had since 15 years old

00:11:36.180 is still active.

00:11:37.780 You get messages from old friends and colleagues

00:11:40.100 that you missed reunions, birthdays,

00:11:43.200 client deals, and partnership opportunities

00:11:45.480 because they were still reaching out to your old number,

00:11:48.640 and it showed as delivered.

00:11:51.000 You make a joke and try to downplay

00:11:52.920 what has been choked up to you 1.00

00:11:54.500 as your own stupidity for trusting people 1.00

00:11:57.520 who only wanted to do your harm. 1.00

00:12:00.700 You reach out to the expert about what you can do,

00:12:03.440 stop this, and are met with shrugs and eye rolls 0.99

00:12:06.360 that you shouldn't have been so dumb in the first place. 0.99

00:12:09.660 She's saying here, 1.00

00:12:10.460 not looking for pity,

00:12:11.720 but I beg those that I care for

00:12:14.320 to learn from my nativity, 1.00

00:12:16.760 learn from my stupidity. 1.00

00:12:18.120 I was raised to trust those in positions of power. 1.00

00:12:21.380 As a daughter of a decorated Navy fighter pilot,

00:12:24.140 you respect and honor your CO,

00:12:26.060 but don't do as I did and think you're safe.

00:12:28.900 This has hardened my heart and has toughened my armor,

00:12:31.900 and I just hope and pray

00:12:33.100 that the next young professional,

00:12:35.300 all bright-eyed and full of hope,

00:12:37.140 can do the exact opposite of what I have done my entire life

00:12:41.460 and to trust their guts and protect themselves

00:12:44.900 and everything they hold dear

00:12:46.440 from those who parade as mentors and friends.

00:12:49.840 This is just so sad.

00:12:52.060 It's so heartbreaking,

00:12:54.080 and I can't even begin to imagine

00:12:57.000 what that must feel like

00:12:58.380 when you know that someone is still sitting there

00:13:01.580 holding your phone,

00:13:03.760 reading your messages,

00:13:05.100 your private messages,

00:13:07.500 prying into your personal life,

00:13:09.980 sharing it with whomever they want.

00:13:12.700 We know that Jennifer Abel and Justin Baldoni

00:13:14.840 has sued Stephanie Jones over this.

00:13:18.140 Jennifer Abel has sued her for, of course,

00:13:20.360 taking her phone

00:13:21.400 and looking into all her private information,

00:13:24.280 and that lawsuit is going to be very interesting to follow.

00:13:27.780 And Justin Baldoni and the Wayfair parties

00:13:29.560 have sued Stephanie Jones

00:13:30.600 because they shared willingly information

00:13:34.340 about the Wayfair parties and Justin Baldoni,

00:13:37.300 and they, of course,

00:13:38.960 had an agreement when they signed them

00:13:41.700 to represent the Wayfair parties

00:13:44.100 that she wouldn't share this privileged information

00:13:47.420 with anyone,

00:13:48.960 especially not Blake Lively,

00:13:51.020 whose only intent was to use this to harm them.

00:13:53.940 Anyways, my heart breaks for Jennifer Abel,

00:13:57.500 and I'm so happy she actually came out

00:13:59.620 and said something

00:14:00.900 because the way they've been terrorizing her

00:14:03.240 and still are.

00:14:04.760 And I remember when it happened to me

00:14:06.560 when I was pulled into the story

00:14:08.140 by the New York Times

00:14:09.080 and all the hate that I received,

00:14:11.220 and I can imagine

00:14:12.280 it must have been 10, 20,000 times worse

00:14:16.440 for these people.

00:14:18.220 Yeah, I'm so sorry that this happened to Jennifer Abel,

00:14:20.960 and I really, really hope that justice will be served

00:14:24.800 because all the horror

00:14:27.140 that these people have been through so far

00:14:29.420 is just mind-blowing to me

00:14:31.680 that they're still getting away with things like this.

00:14:34.420 Anyways, let's talk about Colin Hoover,

00:14:36.800 who's now praising Justin Baldoni.

00:14:39.140 But before we get into that,

00:14:40.520 I wanted to thank the two sponsors of this video,

00:14:43.920 Lola Blankets and Roe.

00:14:45.800 Okay, big confession here.

00:14:47.300 I'm obsessed with these blankets.

00:14:49.680 It's my favorite thing in the world

00:14:51.840 to cozy up and snuggle with Oscar

00:14:54.120 under this warm, soft, enormous blanket.

00:14:58.120 And the great thing is

00:14:59.020 it fits Magnus, Oscar, and me at the same time.

00:15:03.540 And it's the softest thing ever.

00:15:06.220 It's even softer than Oscar.

00:15:08.080 Don't tell him I said that.

00:15:09.440 Lola Blankets are made with vegan faux fur

00:15:11.920 with this signature four-way stretch

00:15:14.220 that makes it dry perfectly onto any furniture.

00:15:17.640 I went with a large size,

00:16:24.220 Also a big thank you to Ro for sponsoring this video.

00:16:27.500 As you know, GLP One has been talked about a lot lately.

00:16:31.020 I've also talked about it here on my channel.

00:16:33.720 And I really want to clear up some information

00:16:35.320 because there's still a lot of confusion around them.

00:16:38.040 First, a very important point.

00:16:39.660 GLP Ones is not for everyone.

00:16:42.000 These are not meant for people

00:16:43.280 who just want to shed a couple of pounds. 0.99

00:16:45.220 They're generally prescribed for people with obesity

00:16:47.900 or overweight with weight-related health conditions.

00:16:50.720 And also important, they require medical oversight.

00:16:53.840 GLP Ones can also be part of a broader health approach.

00:16:57.040 In addition to weight loss,

00:16:58.120 many patients may see improvement in lab values,

00:17:01.280 energy levels, and appetite regulation.

00:17:04.120 These are benefits that go beyond the number on the scale.

00:17:07.360 Until now, GLP Ones have mainly been injections

00:17:10.640 and needles can be a little scary for some people.

00:17:13.600 But now Ro also offers the first FDA-approved GLP One pill

00:17:19.040 for weight loss.

00:17:20.060 They use the same ingredients as the shot

00:17:22.200 with comparable results.

00:17:23.900 Ro provides 100% online medical care,

00:17:27.160 including FDA-approved medications,

00:17:29.800 a free insurance check,

00:17:31.040 side effect management,

00:17:32.520 and ongoing provider support.

00:17:34.660 They're also offering the lowest cost options,

00:17:37.020 whether you're using insurance or paying cash.

00:17:42.240 to see if you're eligible

00:17:59.840 Okay, so yes, Colleen Hoover is back. 0.58

00:18:03.500 And she did an interview with the Today Show yesterday.

00:18:06.560 She's talking about her new book

00:18:07.940 that was just released, Woman Down, 1.00

00:18:09.760 and all these other movie adaptions

00:18:11.480 that's coming out from her best-selling books.

00:18:13.620 But she's also talking about It Ends With Us here.

00:18:16.260 And she's starting off to talk about

00:18:18.400 how she took a step back from social media.

00:18:21.820 To me, I don't know the things I know about her now.

00:18:25.460 I feel like she was sitting there

00:18:27.320 being like such a victim in all of this.

00:18:29.700 And now that we've seen her communication

00:18:31.820 with Baldoni and with Blake,

00:18:34.200 I'm just like,

00:18:35.480 it's not sitting well with me.

00:18:38.100 You know, I pulled back from all of it.

00:18:40.220 I've also always looked at social media

00:18:42.100 as kind of a fun way to connect.

00:18:44.060 And so pulling back from that,

00:18:46.180 it was a challenge for me.

00:18:48.200 I feel like the internet feels different now.

00:18:50.480 And just for mental health,

00:18:53.560 I have to escape from it every now and then.

00:18:55.660 A couple of like really scary invasions of privacy,

00:18:59.900 not only for me,

00:19:01.500 but the girls that work for me. 1.00

00:19:03.320 It becomes different.

00:19:04.920 And it happened, it seemed, almost overnight,

00:19:08.180 you know, just the change and everything.

00:19:11.760 And so, yeah,

00:19:13.360 I just needed some time to adjust to that.

00:19:16.020 Yeah, she said the internet feels different now.

00:19:18.300 I think the internet has been the same for a very long time.

00:19:21.460 It's just that the internet turned on her

00:19:23.440 because they started to see her true colors.

00:19:26.440 And that's why it shifted for her.

00:19:28.740 I feel for her to talk about security now

00:19:31.400 after we've seen what Blake,

00:19:33.700 her BFF, did to Jennifer Abel. 0.99

00:19:37.220 I'm sorry.

00:19:37.920 I just don't have sympathy.

00:19:39.720 And Colleen has not taken any responsibility yet.

00:19:42.420 She's just trying to like stay out of conflict.

00:19:45.040 I remember reading that in a lot of text messages

00:19:47.480 that she was saying,

00:19:48.680 oh, I don't want to take sides here, but I do.

00:19:51.240 So I support Blake

00:19:52.380 because she is a better bet for me for the future.

00:19:55.160 We know that she supported Blake's cut of the movie.

00:19:58.240 We know that she supported Blake

00:19:59.820 in saying that she didn't want to pose with pictures

00:20:02.400 with Justin Baldoni either.

00:20:04.200 And we know he did nothing wrong

00:20:07.240 when it comes to Colleen Hoover.

00:20:09.400 All he did was support her.

00:20:11.780 He was sharing script notes with her.

00:20:14.200 She was sharing script notes with him.

00:20:16.880 And then afterwards she was like,

00:20:18.380 oh, I wasn't a part of this at all.

00:20:20.040 And I was iced out.

00:20:21.480 Like, no.

00:20:22.540 Anyway, she gets asked about It Ends With Us now

00:20:24.980 because not too long ago,

00:20:26.700 Colleen came out and said this about It Ends With Us.

00:20:29.740 So she told this to Elle magazine.

00:20:31.860 I can't even recommend it anymore.

00:20:33.460 I feel like the lawsuit has overshadowed it.

00:20:36.000 I'm almost embarrassed to say I wrote it.

00:20:38.540 When people ask what I do,

00:20:40.160 I'm just like, I'm a writer.

00:20:41.360 Please don't ask me what I wrote.

00:20:42.820 But now she's not embarrassed anymore.

00:20:44.880 She's proud.

00:20:45.600 But it's getting easier to separate it

00:20:48.340 because I do look at the success of it.

00:20:50.260 Like opening week, we just were all so shocked

00:20:53.160 at how much readers showed up for it

00:20:55.120 and how well it did and how much it resonated.

00:20:58.280 Like, I am so proud of that movie.

00:20:59.840 I think the actors, the director,

00:21:01.960 everyone did such a good job making it

00:21:04.300 that, you know, I have to look at everything else

00:21:06.320 separate from the film, from the book.

00:21:08.300 As unfortunate as it is,

00:21:10.240 I am still just very much grateful

00:21:12.860 that we got to see it come to life.

00:21:15.580 Yeah.

00:21:16.180 The actors, the director,

00:21:18.980 everyone did such a good job.

00:21:21.140 Yeah.

00:21:21.740 So she thought Justin Baldoni

00:21:23.440 did such a good job all of a sudden.

00:21:25.620 It's so funny how she's now trying

00:21:27.460 to balance things out a little bit,

00:21:29.200 being like, well, he did a great job.

00:21:31.780 Although I didn't want his movie to come out,

00:21:34.400 I only wanted Blake's movie to come out.

00:21:36.300 I was looking at the comment section of this video,

00:21:39.040 by the way, and it's not looking good.

00:21:40.880 I could not find one single supportive message

00:21:43.720 about Colleen Hoover.

00:21:45.740 Everyone is after her, 1.00

00:21:47.560 calling her a hypocrite, a snake, whatever. 1.00

00:21:50.320 Terrible things. 0.99

00:21:51.240 So yeah, I think she needs to come up 0.98

00:21:52.820 with something better than this

00:21:54.000 if she wants people to forgive her for what she did.

00:21:57.060 Anyways, I wanted to mention,

00:21:58.280 I was just watching a little girl attorney yesterday.

00:22:01.820 She was talking about Blake Lively's strategy

00:22:05.140 or her lawyer's strategy before the trial.

00:22:09.280 As you know, we're still waiting for the judge

00:22:10.940 to rule amongst other things on the summary judgment

00:22:13.640 and see if he's actually going to let

00:22:16.100 all her claims go to trial.

00:22:18.000 He might dismiss one or two or three

00:22:20.220 or maybe all of them.

00:22:21.260 We don't know that yet.

00:22:22.340 But little girl attorney said something 1.00

00:22:24.100 really interesting yesterday

00:22:25.640 because I always thought, you know,

00:22:27.540 what is Blake's strategy?

00:22:28.940 When did she really speak up about something?

00:22:31.200 When did she actually act like something

00:22:33.540 had happened to her?

00:22:35.160 And then claiming that Justin retaliated

00:22:38.140 specifically against that.

00:22:40.040 And now she said yesterday this.

00:22:42.720 She said that Blake's lawyer strategy

00:22:45.380 is that Blake did not want to appear

00:22:47.700 in pictures with Justin

00:22:48.960 because she felt unsafe.

00:22:51.540 I've never heard this before,

00:22:53.120 but it makes a lot of sense

00:22:54.680 that they made this up.

00:22:55.860 But we've never seen any evidence

00:22:57.160 that Blake didn't want to post with him

00:22:58.520 because she felt unsafe.

00:23:00.580 And then her attorneys are going to convince,

00:23:03.880 I guess, the jury.

00:23:05.420 Because of that action,

00:23:07.340 that triggered the Wayfair parties

00:23:09.780 and Justin Baldoni to hire crisis PR.

00:23:13.620 And that in itself automatically means

00:23:16.680 that they created a smear campaign

00:23:18.860 against Blake Lively.

00:23:20.760 So the action that triggered

00:23:22.520 the smear campaign, according to her,

00:23:25.260 is that she didn't want to post with him

00:23:27.920 on the red carpets.

00:23:29.080 We'll see how long it's going to take

00:23:30.600 the judge to rule on her claims.

00:23:33.500 It could take two days.

00:23:34.840 It could take two weeks.

00:23:36.100 It could be, you know,

00:23:37.660 it could be something that happens

00:23:39.020 really close to the trial.

00:23:40.620 OK, so I just wanted to mention

00:23:41.820 this story with Margot Robbie.

00:23:43.500 I just read this in Deadline

00:23:45.560 and I was like, you know,

00:23:46.720 these things happen a lot more

00:23:48.960 than we actually think.

00:23:50.540 Because most of the time,

00:23:51.900 we don't see what's happening

00:23:53.700 behind the scenes

00:23:54.780 when things like this happen.

00:23:56.420 So it says here that

00:23:57.640 the two-time Oscar-nominated

00:24:00.000 Minari filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung

00:24:04.000 has departed Warner Bros.

00:24:06.460 and Lucky Chap's Oceans prequel.

00:24:09.440 Lucky Chap is Margot Robbie's

00:24:11.700 production company.

00:24:13.760 And Chung was in development

00:24:15.240 with The Picks star

00:24:17.160 and producer Margot Robbie.

00:24:18.900 We are told by a Warner Bros. spokesperson

00:24:21.980 that it is an amicable split

00:24:24.140 due to creative differences.

00:24:26.920 The creative differences.

00:24:29.000 So this director, Lee Isaac Chung,

00:24:32.540 does not want to work

00:24:34.160 with Margot Robbie on this movie.

00:24:36.340 We don't know what happened there.

00:24:38.520 But they obviously had

00:24:40.060 major creative differences

00:24:41.680 because this is a big movie

00:24:44.000 and why would he leave

00:24:45.820 this opportunity?

00:24:47.120 You might not know his name that well,

00:24:48.820 but Minari, his movie,

00:24:50.040 was nominated for six Oscars.

00:24:52.020 And I guess that's why

00:24:53.060 they wanted him on board

00:24:54.400 for this Oceans movie.

00:24:56.640 So this is a prequel

00:24:57.860 to Oceans 11,

00:24:59.980 Oceans 12, 13,

00:25:02.380 and the female version.

00:25:03.880 They also did that a few years ago

00:25:05.680 with only women.

00:25:07.000 So I found it interesting

00:25:08.440 that he decided to just leave.

00:25:11.160 It says here that

00:25:12.200 the Warner Bros.

00:25:13.320 and Lucky Chap reps

00:25:14.840 also praised him.

00:25:17.120 Lee Isaac is a singular

00:25:18.580 filmmaker talent

00:25:19.580 whose vision and partnership

00:25:21.000 have been invaluable

00:25:22.500 to Warner Bros.

00:25:23.460 and Lucky Chap

00:25:24.180 throughout this journey.

00:25:25.420 Our experience with him

00:25:26.820 has only deepened

00:25:27.800 our enthusiasm

00:25:28.560 to collaborate

00:25:29.520 on future projects together.

00:25:32.440 Now when we read

00:25:33.580 these statements,

00:25:34.520 we know it's all BS.

00:25:37.380 Why would they want to work

00:25:38.600 with him in future projects

00:25:40.340 when they had so much

00:25:41.360 creative differences here

00:25:42.880 that he decided to quit?

00:25:44.640 Anyways, I'll keep you posted

00:25:46.340 if I hear anything more

00:25:47.700 about what really happened here

00:25:49.320 because we know

00:25:50.200 that there's definitely

00:25:51.080 something more juicy

00:25:52.200 underneath here.

00:25:53.240 Anyways, no more speculations

00:25:54.860 about that.

00:25:55.700 I hope you enjoyed this episode.

00:25:57.080 Thank you so much for watching.
