This text alone proves that there was no smear campaign.
00:00:10.260
Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Sáštà Fló, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:19.280
This is insane. So much tea. I don't know where to start.
00:00:25.780
Today is a major day, by the way, because today they haven't filed it yet, but we're all waiting for the summary judgments to be filed from Baldoni's team and from Blake Lively's team.
00:00:37.440
And I'm sure there's going to be even more juice coming out of that. But for now, we have so much to talk about.
00:00:44.880
So yesterday, Melissa Nathan filed a response to Blake Lively because she tried to sanction her last week, saying that Melissa Nathan hasn't given us the documents we asked for.
00:00:57.880
She's been redacting parts of it and we asked for that. Blah, blah, blah.
00:01:02.260
Today, Melissa Nathan or yesterday, Melissa Nathan responded and she said, I did give you all these documents and here they are again for you to see.
00:01:10.800
And she also explained that she had been giving her these documents and that Baldoni had been giving her these documents and Blake Lively herself had actually filed these documents.
00:01:21.640
So it's all BS. And again, another attempt to just divert the attention from what's really important here.
00:01:29.400
But what came from this, this is the best part.
00:01:32.780
What came from this is that we got access to see all these text messages and emails.
00:01:38.320
And this is what's so mind-blowing to me, because when we read all these text messages between Baldoni's team, we just realized that there was no smear campaign.
00:01:50.760
All they did, you can see through all these text messages, was trying to just defend themselves against all the bad articles or all the bad publicity that Blake's team planted.
00:02:03.740
Also, in this text exchange, you can see what Colleen Hoover actually did and what a snake she is, how she's been lying and how they have all the evidence to prove that she did.
00:02:25.220
And this is the result of Blake Lively asking for those sanctions.
00:02:33.100
And at this point, I'm wondering if her attorneys are working with the other side, because this is too good to be true.
00:02:40.180
There's also a bombshell of a filing from Jennifer Abel here.
00:02:45.540
She filed her summary judgment, asking the judge to look at her case with this in mind, that she was hired by Stephanie Jones and Jones Works.
00:02:58.820
She's showing her contract and everything she was hired to do.
00:03:03.000
And she was only working on behalf of what she was told to do and what she was hired to do by Stephanie Jones and Jones Work.
00:03:10.800
And because of that, she's not liable for those actions.
00:03:15.580
So whatever comes from Blake Lively's lawsuit, she should not have to pay any of those damages.
00:03:27.860
Meaning, if Blake Lively wins, Stephanie Jones is screwed.
00:03:33.820
So Stephanie Jones is the person who took Jennifer Abel's phone while she was working for her or when she wanted to leave the company and gave it to Blake Lively to throw her colleague under the bus.
00:03:46.100
And all and those text messages ended up, as you know, in New York Times, they used them to smear Justin Baldoni and the wafer parties.
00:03:56.400
And now it's full circle and it really backfires on Stephanie Jones.
00:04:01.620
I spoke about this before, how Jennifer Abel actually also could ask Stephanie Jones to cover her legal fees for fighting against Blake Lively and Stephanie Jones, which is really funny.
00:04:13.880
And now she's telling the judge here, like, you know what?
00:04:24.160
OK, so let's get into these juicy text messages.
00:04:27.280
I think this text alone proves that there was no smear campaign.
00:04:33.640
So listen to what Jamie Heath, Justin Baldoni's colleague from the wafer party, sent to the team.
00:04:41.920
OK, so in this text, he's referring to an article.
00:04:46.020
And he's saying, there is some misinformation here for sure.
00:04:56.860
Finally, there's an article that's not directed at Justin.
00:05:04.440
Does that sound like someone who is involved in a smear campaign to take someone down?
00:05:15.660
He also says here, and honestly, I don't care who Sony nestles up to.
00:05:19.660
As long as they can put out a movie of ours and make money so that we can be wayfair and do what we do.
00:05:29.960
Right now, that is to keep bullets away from Justin, away from me, and away from wayfarer.
00:05:38.500
And if that comes at the expense of her being praised, then so be it.
00:05:51.400
That's a win for us as long as they're not coming for us.
00:05:56.160
I know it's frustrating, he says here, but let's take the high road.
00:06:02.020
How can anyone claim that there is a smear campaign when you read this text message?
00:06:08.580
This is from Henry Grace, which is Justin Badone's alias.
00:06:14.020
But anyways, he's saying here, are we doing anything to influence this stuff?
00:06:17.920
Or is this real people helping and coming to my defense?
00:06:22.460
So he's been obviously on TikTok or reading stuff online, people that are defending him.
00:06:28.400
And then Jennifer Abel says, no, no, no, no fake accounts.
00:06:38.340
It's astonishing to see the enormous outpouring of support, but it's 100% real.
00:06:45.780
If they were doing any of these, don't you think that they would have that conversation
00:06:53.840
Then Justin says, people are thinking it's us and watch that video.
00:07:08.680
He's saying, I'm a little more concerned about these TikToks claiming they know information
00:07:13.960
and there are some dark, disturbing stories about me that are going to break as they're
00:07:21.620
And the only way that would be happening if there are lies.
00:07:26.740
So I know a lot of content creators have come forward and said that they received DMs from
00:07:33.640
anonymous sources saying like, don't say anything bad about Blake because there's some really
00:07:39.900
disturbing things coming out about Justin Baldoni.
00:07:46.800
And Justin Baldoni was aware of that happening.
00:07:49.780
Then Melissa is responding to Justin saying, I personally, I'm not concerned about this because
00:07:55.660
we all know there are no dark and disturbing stories.
00:08:02.320
And at the end of the day, they will be reguriating complete rubbish.
00:08:07.660
And she says here and referencing to the Australian podcast you saw.
00:08:12.580
And it seems like here she's talking about Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard that Justin had heard
00:08:19.540
And she says that and referencing to Australian podcast you saw.
00:08:24.580
I can tell you hand on my heart, there was four women working on that trial and I was
00:08:34.840
It's actually very similar to what you're having right now.
00:08:38.360
The outpouring of love and support being weaponized against you by her side because it can't be
00:08:46.060
It's so funny how they used that in that New York Times article saying because Melissa
00:08:50.900
Nathan was hired by Johnny Depp, she must be using bots here too because she was accused
00:08:59.440
You know, I was also accused of being in collaboration with Melissa Nathan in that New York Times article.
00:09:04.520
And as we've seen from all the evidence that have come out, I am not mentioned anywhere.
00:09:10.700
There is no communication with me anywhere because obviously there was no, but there's
00:09:16.320
also no communication with any content creators.
00:09:20.040
They've only spoken to journalists for big outlets.
00:09:24.080
There is no evidence that they ever spoke directly to any content creators, which I also find
00:09:29.920
What they keep doing in this entire thread is keep saying that we should amplify and push
00:09:36.720
the posts that are positive towards Justin Baldoni.
00:09:44.060
They're just trying to save themselves here and they're tight and they're taking the high
00:09:50.880
There is nothing in any of these communications saying anything bad about Blake Lively or saying
00:09:59.920
Okay, now we have to get to the Colin Hoover bit because that is so juicy.
00:10:08.140
Apparently they hadn't spoken in a really long time here because she had already jumped over
00:10:14.360
to Blake Lively's side and decided to support her.
00:10:18.020
So Justin here is sharing with the team a text that he got from Colin Hoover where she says
00:10:23.520
amongst other things that she was really disappointed in him because she didn't have a
00:10:33.240
She is really offended by this article in the rap where Justin said that she was part of
00:10:40.160
the process the entire time and she denies that.
00:10:45.920
I don't know what she posted, but apparently she posted something that was very offensive
00:10:51.320
towards the Wayfair parties or she said something that she regretted afterwards.
00:10:56.980
I think she keeps doing these things that she says things and then she regrets it.
00:11:01.200
I think maybe she needs some therapy because, as you know, she deleted her whole Instagram
00:11:10.360
Anyways, Jennifer Abel here is saying, Justin Baldoni's publicist is saying, Jamie and I
00:11:18.960
Take this opportunity to open a dialogue with her.
00:11:22.660
Communicate that if you read the interview, it doesn't mean he's cut out the sequel, but
00:11:30.940
So they're also talking about here how he wanted to end the film differently than it was
00:11:35.940
in the book, because in the book, Ryle and Lily were co-parenting their child and Justin
00:11:42.140
didn't like that ending because Ryle is abusive and he's like, I don't want them to end up
00:11:48.140
co-parenting the child because I don't think the DV community is going to like that.
00:11:53.580
So in this article, he talks about that and Colleen was really, really upset by it.
00:11:58.260
Then there's a lot of text messages back and forth on how he should respond to Colleen to
00:12:04.820
And then Justin is sharing this text that Colleen wrote him where she said, amongst
00:12:09.260
other things, that she didn't have a say in the script.
00:12:16.080
And she says that, I know things took an awful turn and I felt forced to choose when I did
00:12:22.820
But the back and forth articles from both camps are just so upsetting and ridiculous, says
00:12:28.920
Well, that's a lie because now I'm going to share some text messages with you where you
00:12:51.260
can see how collaborative she was with Justin and the other way around.
00:12:56.240
And she says here that it started with me not being allowed to read the script until I was sat
00:13:03.320
But then all the interviews made it seem like you included me in the script from the beginning.
00:13:08.160
I mean, this woman is so delusional because, of course, Justin has all the text messages
00:13:13.820
from her when they're collaborating on the script.
00:13:28.500
I totally understand the need for a lot of the changes.
00:13:37.080
Just some tweaks if you agree with my thoughts.
00:13:39.400
But like I said, love it, think it's going to make the readers very happy, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:44.480
There's a lot of those texts going back and forth where it's so obvious that this is a
00:13:51.860
collaboration, that this script was a collaboration between Justin and Colleen.
00:13:56.940
It's so mind-blowing to me that she can lie in that text and make that up when she knows
00:14:02.560
there's so much evidence proving that they did collaborate on the script.
00:14:07.860
I feel like there's something wrong with her at this point.
00:14:11.620
Also something really heartbreaking here in these text messages, Justin mentioning how he
00:14:17.360
had a bromance with Brandon Sklenar for a year and then it all went silence.
00:14:22.940
And then he's sharing this text that he got from Isabella Ferrer of how wonderful the experience
00:14:29.000
And then he also shares this text about Ryan Reynolds and how pity he is.
00:14:34.840
He said in a text, in other news, Ryan unblocked me and Emily, his wife, so he could spy on us.
00:14:44.220
She had a feeling and checked and she could see his name and then I checked and I could
00:14:53.340
So Ryan first unfollowed and blocked Justin and then he unblocked him so that he could see
00:15:09.060
I'm sure that the other summary judgments are going to be like probably filed at the end
00:15:16.380
So there's going to be so much tomorrow as well.
00:15:19.020
But I just wanted to go quickly through what happens now with Jen Abel's case against Stephanie
00:15:29.600
So as I said in the beginning of this video, Jennifer Abel filed her summary judgments and
00:15:34.640
in this judgment, she's asking the judge to rule on something before this even goes to
00:15:39.460
trial because she says, you know, I'm not responsible for my actions.
00:15:46.340
And Stephanie Jones, who also sued Jennifer Abel, who also sued her back, which is a separate
00:15:52.180
lawsuit thing going on here, she kept saying that Jennifer Abel was just like working on
00:15:57.960
But now Jennifer Abel has provided all this communication the team had with Stephanie Jones
00:16:05.260
showing that she was really involved in everything that went on behind the scenes.
00:16:11.240
She's claiming that she was in Europe and she didn't really know because she was on vacation,
00:16:17.100
but she's on all these email threads and she's been forwarding questions from the press to
00:16:24.500
Jennifer Abel and say, hey, this TMZ article just came out.
00:16:29.840
So for her to say she didn't know what was going on here is basically just BS.
00:16:34.320
Yes, what's really great here as well is that all of this is coming out now before we've even
00:16:43.260
That company filed a sham lawsuit to get a subpoena out to get Jennifer Abel's phone.
00:16:50.240
And as I mentioned in this filing as well, why did not Stephanie Jones move to quash that
00:16:56.280
That should have been her responsibility as an employer.
00:16:59.580
It could have been a very easy thing to do to quash that subpoena so she would never would
00:17:03.180
have to give away Jennifer Abel's phone to Blake Lively's team.
00:17:07.680
She didn't do that, which of course makes it so obvious that she betrayed Jennifer Abel.
00:17:12.120
And we also know her personal motivation for doing that because she was really angry with
00:17:17.440
Jennifer Abel for leaving her company and for taking Baldoni and the Wayfair parties with
00:17:24.900
The thing is, in all these communications that we've seen so far, it's quite clear that
00:17:29.380
Wayfair parties did not want to work with Stephanie Jones anymore.
00:17:32.340
And one of the reasons for that is that they couldn't trust her because the Wayfair parties
00:17:37.040
believed that Stephanie Jones had gone behind their back and planted a story in Daily Mail.
00:17:43.960
And they had agreed to that point with Leslie Sloan to have a truce.
00:17:48.420
No negative stories about anyone hitting the press because they wanted to focus on the movie
00:17:56.580
Stephanie Jones denied that she did such a thing and she said, you can see my phone
00:18:00.840
log, whatever, but Sony was the one reacting to it.
00:18:04.440
And Sony was the one actually accusing Stephanie Jones of doing that.
00:18:08.360
There's also evidence of that hit piece that was in the Daily Mail written by James Svitushka,
00:18:15.580
that reporter who got fired, who admitted that he had given a false declaration to the court
00:18:26.820
It's a hard to follow everything, but this reporter was fired because of that.
00:18:31.520
And here is the article that he wrote, which is basically a hit piece on Justin Baldoni and
00:18:38.040
his email to Wayfair parties or to their team, asking them for comments, explains all the things
00:18:47.240
Some of those things were that he was chauvinistic and borderline abusive on the set, that the
00:18:53.700
whole cast didn't like him, that he had a dismissive attitude toward Blake Lively's input about
00:19:00.640
the character, and that he's such a method actor that he couldn't turn off Ryle while he
00:19:10.680
You can't be a method actor and then direct a movie, so they're basically saying that he
00:19:18.920
Anyway, this became a big hit piece in Daily Mail, and here's the article that they post-published.
00:19:26.440
And here is the article that James Svitushka published.
00:19:30.300
Disturbing truth behind why Blake Lively and Hurried Ends With Us stars are feuding with
00:19:35.940
Justin Baldoni, and it says here, Justin Baldoni was chauvinistic and borderline abusive on
00:19:41.100
the set and sparked fury over his refusal to consider the perspective of co-star Blake Lively
00:19:47.060
while filming scenes that depicted abuse, insiders have claimed.
00:19:53.360
Now insiders have revealed the concerning truth about the tension, telling Daily Mail that Blake
00:19:59.120
and Justin clashed over his dismissive attitude to her input.
00:20:02.920
The insider claimed that Justin only focused on what he believed was the abusive male viewpoint
00:20:09.240
and had a very chauvinistic approach to the topic.
00:20:13.540
His behavior extended beyond the main players, the source continued.
00:20:17.240
Once he felt ganged up on, he became even less empathetic.
00:20:22.040
Now he's speaking praises, likely out of the fear that they'll call him out.
00:20:28.780
He knows it's coming and might try to blame his actions on being a method actor.
00:20:33.940
So that hit piece, to me, is all the evidence that I need to see that Blake Lively was launching
00:20:44.980
I feel everything through this whole entire case, everything that she has accused him of,
00:20:52.840
There's also more evidence here that Justin actually was worried that some of the comments
00:20:59.480
and some of the people defending him were bots.
00:21:05.000
Hi tag team, I've been seeing some Instagram comments on random posts defending me by people
00:21:10.520
who are private with no followers and they feel like bots.
00:21:14.200
Can you please confer we are not doing any of that?
00:21:17.040
I really don't want bots defending me as it feeds into their potential narrative.
00:21:22.840
I mean, all of this evidence that Blake Lively has put forward really proves the opposite
00:21:30.540
And then there's also a long email from Stephanie Jones when she's trying to fix that story from
00:21:35.220
TMZ when they said someone on set had said that the kiss was lingering too long and that
00:21:48.240
So Stephanie is then giving them a strategy on how to deal with this, on how to flood everything
00:21:57.860
And she's kind of begging Wayfair here to keep her on her team and defending herself and saying
00:22:03.540
that she never planted anything and she's innocent here and she can prove it because she's really
00:22:09.060
worried she's going to lose the account, which she did.
00:22:18.720
And sometimes it can be quite overwhelming to get through everything.
00:22:24.420
Let me know if you want some clarifications on anything.
00:22:27.620
I'll be happy to explain further if there's anything that's unclear.
00:22:32.220
And a lot of this stuff happened, you know, I spoke about in January or February this year.
00:22:37.520
So it's been a long time and a lot of things have happened so far.
00:22:41.220
So anyway, stay tuned for tomorrow, which is going to be a big day.
00:22:46.580
I can't wait to share all the updates with you guys.
