00:00:00.000 Blake and Ryan just escaped the country while Justin Baldoni owns the headline and gets support
00:00:06.440 from Hollywood. Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Saskia Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth
00:00:15.920 teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. Blake and Ryan has fled the country
00:00:24.820 while Justin and Emily are taking over all the headlines
00:00:29.120 and getting support from Hollywood.
00:00:32.620 And guess what?
00:00:33.340 Reality star Bethany Frankel from Real Housewives of New York,
00:00:37.820 who has a huge following on social media,
00:00:41.060 finally opens up about how she was approached by Blake Lively's team
00:00:47.000 to speak favorable of Blake Lively when she filed her lawsuit.
00:00:52.080 Yeah, what a bombshell.
00:00:53.600 Also, is Taylor and Travis Ryan Reynolds' next target?
00:00:59.560 This theory is very interesting.
00:01:02.200 Let's get into it.
00:01:03.560 Okay, so yesterday when I showed Justin and Emily's video on Instagram,
00:01:07.560 I forgot to mention that there also was a community note attached to that video.
00:01:12.620 As you know, Blake has received a few of these community notes herself.
00:01:16.120 And as I've spoken about here on my channel,
00:01:17.960 there are people out there working for Blake Lively to try and correct some of these community
00:01:24.880 notes. I've shown you a few examples from backstage because someone here from my community
00:01:30.560 is a registered community note writer or whatever you call it. But anyways, this was on Justin and
00:01:36.900 Emily's Instagram post yesterday. So this note is just basically stating the facts of this lawsuit.
00:01:44.220 And the reason I believe that there is a community note here is because people wanted to be ahead of the game here because they were probably expecting someone from Blake's army trying to twist the truth here and probably add something that made it look like Justin was still a creep and Blake Wively was a victim.
00:02:05.880 So I think this was a smart thing to do to actually add this and get ahead of the game
00:02:10.700 because these community notes are voted up by the community
00:02:14.160 and whatever note gets the most votes will stick on an Instagram post.
00:02:19.520 So I think this was a very clever move from the Baldoni community.
00:02:22.780 If you have the chance, you should go and upvote this community note
00:02:26.520 so it will stick on this post.
00:02:29.360 But anyways, let's get into all the support that Justin Baldoni is receiving right now.
00:02:33.880 If you Google Justin Baldoni now, all the headlines come up with words like injustice, pain, painful, healing, gratitude, break silence.
00:02:46.100 And I love, love, love that he got the last word here.
00:02:50.400 Because as you know, Blake has already spoken through her lawyers and through that ridiculous statement on Instagram that got a lot of backlash.
00:02:58.080 She doesn't really have anything more to say about this.
00:03:01.060 but Justin and Emily they haven't spoken so far and they just waited till she didn't have anything
00:03:07.640 more to say and now they got the last word here and I think this is a proof that karma exists
00:03:16.580 anyways People Magazine are reporting on the support that Justin is getting from his co-stars
00:03:23.000 in Hollywood they're saying Justin receives support from Jane the Virgin co-star Gina Rodriguez
00:03:28.600 and Brett Deere after speaking out following Blake Lively's settlement.
00:03:34.540 I have a feeling that Justin asked his friends and co-stars in Hollywood
00:03:39.540 to stay silent because he didn't want to drag anyone into it.
00:03:43.560 He didn't want anyone to get any backlash on social media
00:03:47.320 in contrast to Blake and Ryan who wanted to drag all their friends into this
00:03:52.000 and didn't care at all if they were smeared in the process.
00:03:55.480 I have a feeling that Justin didn't want that.
00:03:57.760 It says here that Jane the Virgin star showed support after Baldoni reflected on the emotional toll of the past two years following his legal settlement with Blake Lively.
00:04:07.480 And then they're quoting the comments that Gina Rodriguez and Brett Deer left on that video that they published.
00:04:15.640 Gina said, I love you friends, por vida.
00:04:19.300 And Deer added, I love you guys with hearts and hearts all over it.
00:04:24.420 I have a feeling that more people will come out, more people who have worked with Justin because now it feels like a good time to do that.
00:04:32.540 So I'm encouraging and hoping that more people will speak out about this.
00:04:37.600 Another one, as I mentioned in the intro here, is Bethany Frankel.
00:04:42.020 She mentioned in that video that she just posted on TikTok that Justin was on our podcast once.
00:04:48.320 She didn't say anything more about that, but then she went through all the things that happened at the premiere of It Ends With Us.
00:04:54.200 But before I get into that, I wanted to just mention what Emily did for Team Wayfair.
00:05:00.820 Just a reminder of how badass Emily really is, just to build on his wife.
00:05:06.160 Remember that statement that Ryan Reynolds wrote that he wanted the Wayfair parties,
00:05:12.400 especially Justin and Jamie, to sign so that they would take responsibility for all the backlash
00:05:19.160 that Blake had received during the horrible tone deaf promotion of It Ends With Us.
00:05:26.100 That was all Ryan's idea because as you know it was his production company Maximum Effort
00:05:31.200 who was behind all the marketing of the movie.
00:05:33.760 What an incredible summer you're having.
00:05:35.840 I feel like you poured a lot into this movie
00:05:37.740 but then you turned around and you were just as supportive of Ryan.
00:05:40.960 What is it like to...
00:05:41.700 And my hair care company, Blake Brown, my goodness gracious.
00:05:45.220 anyways here's a text mail message between jamie heath and mitz toskovic who is the chief of
00:05:52.880 operations i believe at the wafer studios and he's asking jamie heath are you alive are you alive
00:05:59.820 and jamie says barely this is in august august 13th of 2024 right after the premiere of it ends
00:06:09.040 with us and Mitt says any word from the terrorists meaning in plural meaning obviously both Blake and
00:06:17.680 Ryan and Jamie says ready to fight talk to Justin Emily says f no we are not writing any letter
00:06:28.160 she made this bed now she can effing live in it let's fight we are done Justin says well you heard
00:06:36.140 her let's fight no letter so we're saying f off no statement capital letters and then mid says
00:06:45.740 i effing love emily and jamie says yep imagine if they would have signed off on that statement
00:06:53.720 the harm it would have done to them in this legal feud because then they would admit it
00:06:59.020 that it was their fault and their fault only that blake received backlash from her own tone 0.89
00:07:06.000 death promotion of It Ends With Us. Maybe even this legal feud would have ended a little bit 1.00
00:07:11.060 differently. That is a possibility. So kudos to Emily for standing up against Blake Lively.
00:07:17.560 Anyways, talking about Blake and Ryan, according to TMZ, they escaped to Canada. There are some
00:07:25.080 paparazzi photos of Blake and Ryan strolling around in Canada, not looking very glamorous
00:07:32.160 and not looking like a united front at all,
00:07:35.640 it says here that Blake and Ryan
00:07:37.320 seen showing down in Canada
00:07:39.880 hours before Baldoni video statement.
00:07:44.020 It says that Blake and Ryan
00:07:45.240 were seen dining together in Canada
00:07:47.080 just hours before Justin spoke out
00:07:48.980 for the first time about the whole
00:07:50.500 It Ends With Us scandal.
00:07:52.120 TMZ obtained photos of Blake and Ryan
00:07:54.020 hanging out on Wednesday afternoon
00:07:55.820 with a couple grabbing a late lunch
00:07:58.160 on the rooftop of a Mexican restaurant.
00:08:00.700 and then they have the picture here of Blake not looking so glamorous with two assistants
00:08:06.120 she's only hanging out with people she has to pay to hang out with her by the way it's interesting
00:08:10.840 and it says here our sources say Ryan left the eatery first and walked to his vehicle parked in
00:08:16.160 a lot nearby shortly thereafter Blake exited the restaurant with two assistants and waved goodbye
00:08:23.040 to staff before they went shopping in a boutique store so there were more staff there apparently
00:08:28.540 not only the two assistants i didn't quite understand that but anyways at one point we're
00:08:33.200 told ryan joined the trio inside the store and then they left minutes later heading to the parking
00:08:39.540 lots anyways that seemed to be the whole story here that they had lunch then they went shopping
00:08:45.320 and then they said goodbye but anyways there is only a photo of ryan from the back here he doesn't
00:08:52.140 look like a very happy person from behind at least i don't know if he had a big smile on walking
00:08:57.760 there but i have a feeling that the both of them now they are feeling this big time and as i said
00:09:03.580 before i think just the fact that blake wasn't invited to taylor's wedding was the biggest
00:09:09.180 vindication that justin bildoni could get and then they're mentioning here again that emily said in
00:09:15.000 this video yesterday that blake disguised her lawsuit as a fight for women that quote from
00:09:22.260 Emily is everywhere and I love it and then they're ending this article saying Justin and Emily went
00:09:28.920 on to say they're now healing from the trauma and thank their many supporters for their well wishes
00:09:34.740 anyways let's get into this Bethany Frankel video this was quite interesting I remember how Bethany
00:09:40.480 Frankel came out uh just after Blake had filed a lawsuit and talked about how her experience had
00:09:47.500 been at the premiere of the movie and she walks the red carpet but then the vibe was so weird
00:09:53.360 so they decided to go out after the red carpet and have a margarita and then return to the movie
00:09:59.200 theater to watch the movie because they had about an hour to kill so they decided to just go out and
00:10:04.820 have a drink and then at the end when they realized that there were two separate theaters and everyone
00:10:09.720 was just acting really weird that they didn't even want to see the movie and she by the way was under
00:10:13.940 the impression that she was about to watch a movie that was more like in the vibe of sex in
00:10:18.400 the city but anyways after talking about how weird the whole experience was she mentioned and i see
00:10:24.500 someone who i know who i used to work with who's very close with blake and works very closely with
00:10:29.780 her and i'm like hi and this person is very dismissive and very standoffish danielle who 0.93
00:10:35.400 was my president at the time she's now on pregnancy leave um she was like what the fuck and i'm like 0.88
00:10:40.840 it made me uncomfortable I felt like it was like a very better than dismissive like I'm with the 0.97
00:10:44.940 talent type of vibe and I was like oh like it was I had just seen this person we were supposed to 0.91
00:10:48.940 have plans and I felt like demoralized to be honest yeah I have a feeling that that woman might 0.95
00:10:55.400 be Leslie Sloan Blake Lively's publicist and she said that she was being so cold to her and acting
00:11:02.680 so weird but then after blake had filed her lawsuit something interesting happened and then i
00:11:11.260 just commented once the lawsuit came out just basically asking the question like what is it
00:11:16.020 what are the damages and the same person from blake's team like called me multiple times because
00:11:23.520 they wanted to plead their case and wanted me to kind of you know talk about that to my audience
00:11:29.020 And I was like, I, you know, it's, it was around Christmas.
00:11:32.060 I'm like, it's like Christmas Eve, Eve.
00:11:33.880 And like, like, I don't even know, but I didn't say anything.
00:11:37.040 I just said, this is an effed up situation.
00:11:39.500 But this person like was like, you know, she wants to know why you don't like her.
00:11:43.800 And I'm like, I don't know anything about her.
00:11:45.360 Like, anyway, it was a crazy, crazy energy.
00:11:49.500 And it's just a wild thing with the tailor of it all and all the stories.
00:11:53.640 And certainly I don't know any more than you, but I just, for some reason was just thinking
00:11:57.800 about that wild night that we never even saw the movie it was so weird yes allegedly i have to say
00:12:06.240 leslie sloan kept calling bethany frankel asking her to talk favorably about blake lively and then
00:12:15.160 she also asked why don't you like her i wonder if that came from blake that she asked her publicist
00:12:21.400 to ask Bethany Frankel, why don't you like me? Very strange thing to ask. Luckily, Bethany Frankel
00:12:28.740 turned this offer down. But as you probably remember, Blake's team were accusing Justin
00:12:36.380 Baldoni and the Wayfair parties to get in touch with content creators to talk positively and
00:12:41.740 favorably about him, which again, this keeps happening in this case, whatever they're accusing
00:12:48.420 them of they're guilty of themselves and that is the case here themselves and here is the proof of
00:12:53.760 that they reached out to influential people and content creators to get them to talk favorably
00:13:01.060 about Blake Lively anyways I got an interesting email this morning that I wanted to share with
00:13:06.540 you guys is Taylor and Travis Ryan Reynolds next target this does make a lot of sense but before
00:13:13.480 we get into that I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video One Skin. If you followed me for a while
00:13:19.340 you know probably that I've been using One Skin for way over a year now. These are one of the few
00:13:25.740 skincare products that actually stayed in my daily routine. My skin just feels healthier and smoother
00:13:32.580 and I love that they're focusing on long-term skin health instead of just quick fixes. These products
00:13:39.160 I'm not going to make you look completely different overnight.
00:13:42.480 For me, it's been the long-term improvement that's so impressive.
00:13:46.040 What makes One Skin different is the OS1 peptides.
00:13:50.480 It's designed to target the so-called zombie cells.
00:13:53.920 Those are the cells that contribute to visible signs of aging, dullness, and fine lines.
00:13:59.740 And as you know, a lot of skin damage comes from the sun,
00:14:03.320 and that is why it's so important to protect your skin in the summertime especially.
00:14:09.160 One Skin Limited Edition Summer Bundles combine their skincare with SPF.
00:14:14.440 That means you're helping address existing UV-related aging,
00:14:18.000 while at the same time protecting your skin from new damage.
00:14:21.840 I personally love their lip care with SPF and this overnight treatment for lips as well.
00:14:26.700 Born from over a decade of longevity research,
00:14:30.180 One Skin is helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.

00:14:42.140 That's 15% off at Oneskin.co with code FLO.
00:14:46.420 After you purchase, they may ask where you heard about them.
00:14:48.720 So please support my show by telling them that I sent you.
00:14:52.100 All right, so let's get back into it.
00:14:53.760 As you know, Blake and Ryan were not invited to Taylor Swift's wedding.
00:14:58.340 and there were a lot of misinformation swirling around before this wedding happened and someone
00:15:04.920 planted a rumor that Taylor had reached out to Blake and they had a phone call and it ended with
00:15:12.900 Blake being invited to Taylor's wedding and she already picked out a dress but then Taylor's team
00:15:18.800 came out and denied all of that and said Blake is not invited and there was never a phone call.
00:15:26.100 I've been speculating if this was something that Taylor's team planted at first
00:15:31.120 so that they could double down that Blake was not invited
00:15:34.340 or if it was coming from Blake's team hoping that Taylor would never shut these rumors down.
00:15:41.420 Anyways, I received this from Jamie and I think this is really interesting.
00:15:45.820 Thank you for sending me this.
00:15:47.800 She is saying, just a quick thought.
00:15:50.200 From what we've learned about Ryan Reynolds,
00:15:52.420 he seems to have some sort of sick pleasure in hating and destroying people who don't fall in
00:15:58.160 line with his demands. Very good observation there. And she says, I was just thinking,
00:16:03.440 seeing how they use their PR power as a weapon, his next target is most likely Taylor Swift
00:16:10.400 and Travis Kelsey. To know how much he wants to be seen with people he considers important
00:16:16.280 and how public it became that he and Blake were not invited he must be fuming and then here is
00:16:23.680 some interesting part she says so I just find it intriguing that TMZ jumped on putting so much bad
00:16:29.740 press out there on the wedding it was all about how people didn't know why they were invited to
00:16:35.800 make Taylor and Travis sound like they really don't know anyone how there wasn't seating for
00:16:43.000 everyone, long lines for food, running out of champagne, which of course everyone else picked
00:16:49.440 up. Now that guests are speaking out that were actually there, it just sounds like a lot of it
00:16:56.200 was completely made up. And then she says, I wouldn't put it past Brian and Blake to be the
00:17:00.780 ones pushing this. Plus in the middle of all of that, there were some articles of Blake Lively's
00:17:04.840 best bikini looks. So they're definitely still trying to work the media. Also putting out the
00:17:10.020 narrative and how could Taylor Swift not invite her godchildren? How Blake will never forgive her
00:17:16.480 and how hard it is for her to be left out is trying to make Blake look like an innocent victim
00:17:23.700 again. Then she says, I mean, we know why people in the public eye don't speak up. It's because
00:17:28.540 Ryan will never stop harassing them in the press and use every connection he has to hurt their
00:17:34.620 careers he thinks in terms of taking people down until they fall in line and we are all seeing what
00:17:40.820 Justin and everyone around him went through because Blake and Ryan didn't get their way
00:17:45.440 and then she says at the end they're just thinking how it's so manipulative out there and such a mess
00:17:50.580 now with all the tricks it's like a constant game of telephone on how do we really know
00:17:55.200 the truth and who started each narrative that gets pushed anymore bottom line is I don't put
00:18:01.560 anything past Ryan and Blake. I wouldn't be surprised about this. It's interesting. I never
00:18:08.620 thought about it this way but maybe these rumors from inside Taylor's wedding is coming from Blake
00:18:15.320 and Ryan trying to take her down. Of course Taylor is their next target and of course Blake and Ryan
00:18:23.480 are so bitter that they were not invited because that hurt their image even more I think than this
00:18:31.000 entire legal feud and it just added to how much people dislike them and how much attention they
00:18:38.620 got in the media negative attention because of that so yeah i find this theory very interesting
00:18:45.640 let me know what you guys think about this do you think ryan is going to go after taylor and
00:18:51.000 travis or do you believe that all the stuff that we heard from inside that wedding was true and
00:18:56.680 coming from real guests. Anyways, before I go here, I wanted to also mention that Daily Mail
00:19:02.580 picked up this story that I spoke about yesterday as well, that Ryan Reynolds' visitor center in
00:19:08.260 Portland is closed down, his aviation gin visitor center. They're saying here in the headline that
00:19:14.480 Ryan Reynolds' decision to open new gin bar and distillery in crime-ridden Portland ends in
00:19:20.800 disaster. They had to mention that it's a crime-ridden place that he was opening this
00:19:26.660 distillery in. Interesting detail to add there. And then they say a gin brand co-owned by Ryan
00:19:32.140 Reynolds in Portland has closed a bar just four years after it opened. Aviation Gin Tasting Room
00:19:37.800 and Visitor Center held its last tasting on June 28th. I showed some pictures from inside this
00:19:44.140 visitor center the other day. He called it Disneyland for adults and it was all about
00:19:49.740 Ryan Reynolds photos of him everywhere quotes from him everywhere and people were just like
00:19:56.240 no we're not interested in this anymore so closed down every article like this is hurting Ryan
00:20:03.860 Reynolds image is hurting his reputation and is hurting new business opportunities for him and
00:20:09.480 it's hurting his acting career anyways that's it from you guys thank you so much for watching and
