Hi and welcome to Blossom Talk. I'm Kersti Flohr, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:11.880
and your voice of reason in a town built on the illusion. It's my birthday today and what a gift,
00:00:19.300
you guys. Finally, we are seeing some justice here. This is pretty amazing.
00:00:25.180
so the judge has just ruled. In his ruling he is questioning if there ever really was harassment
00:00:34.660
and if there ever really was a smear campaign. This is a huge win for Justin Baldoni and it
00:00:42.760
doesn't stop there. The judge gave Justin Baldoni another win yesterday. He allowed Justin and his
00:00:50.220
team another week to look through the dump of new evidence that Blake Lively just filed.
00:00:57.500
1,000 pages of irrelevant documents and 40 witnesses. Yeah, there's a lot to talk about.
00:01:06.020
Also, I found an interview with a medically diagnosed sociopath. And this is so eye-opening
00:01:14.060
to me and really explain a lot of the things that I didn't understand about this lawsuit.
00:01:20.980
So yes, let's get into it. Before I start, though, I want to thank everyone for all the
00:01:25.840
great feedback for my interview with Rob Shooter yesterday. It was such a juicy conversation,
00:01:32.580
you guys. So if you haven't checked that out yet, you really should. Not only what he says
00:01:36.960
about Blake and Ryan, but all the inside Hollywood scoops that he shared with me and you guys
00:01:43.340
yesterday. Anyways, let's get into this ruling that makes me so excited today. Okay, I'm going
00:01:48.600
to try to explain what really happened here. It's a little bit complicated, but you know there's not
00:01:52.880
only one lawsuit involved here. Blake Lively, as you know, of course sued Justin Baldoni and the
00:01:57.980
Wayfair parties and they sued Blake Lively, Leslie Sloan, Ryan Reynolds, New York Times back. But on
00:02:03.860
top of that, there's another lawsuit that's really interesting and plays a huge part in Blake Lively's
00:02:10.200
lawsuit and that is stephanie jones lawsuit against jennifer abel and the wayfair parties
00:02:16.020
including justin baldoni she's the company that justin baldoni hired to do the publicity
00:02:21.980
for him during it ends with us she's also the person who grabbed the phone of her ex-employee
00:02:27.900
jennifer abel gave it to blake lively who gave it to the new york times so as you know everything
00:02:33.280
in blake lively's lawsuit is basically based on what they found and the entire angle of that new
00:02:39.440
Times article was based on one text message that they found, we can bury anyone. So now the judge
00:02:47.500
has ruled on the countersued that Jennifer Abel and the Wayfair parties brought against Stephanie
00:02:56.480
Jones. They sued her for four counts. Two of them did not survive, which was breach of contract
00:03:03.740
basically but two of them did survive and it's going to trial one of them being defamation
00:03:12.480
and that is what's really interesting here first of all because that opens up discovery for what
00:03:19.420
really happened between stephanie jones and blake lively's team through this discovery process
00:03:26.560
We're going to see documents, phone calls, text messages between these parties planning everything that they did against Justin Baldoni.
00:03:39.120
And something that really caught my eye in this ruling is when the judge said this.
00:03:44.000
He said, to be defamatory, a plaintiff is ultimately required to prove that the alleged fact is false.
00:03:53.120
This is quite interesting because if Blake Lively is claiming this smear campaign against Justin Baldoni,
00:04:00.920
I assume that she also has to prove that the information that was spread about her was false,
00:04:08.140
which we know that she can't even point to any articles that printed lies about her.
1.00
00:04:13.440
Justin, on the other hand, was accused of a lot of things that I believe,
00:04:17.800
and I think most of you guys also believe, that he's not guilty of.
00:04:20.800
And the judge continues, the Wayfarer alleges that the statements made by Jones and Jones' works about Wayfarer were false.
00:04:30.080
Counter claims as not only was Jones well aware that Lively had not actually been harassed on set,
00:04:37.120
she also knew that there had not been a smear campaign.
00:04:41.220
That is sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss.
00:04:44.840
So the judge said there is no evidence of a smear campaign
00:04:48.340
and there is no evidence of any harassment at this point.
00:04:52.680
So the fact that Stephanie Jones claimed those things to be true
00:05:00.500
You also have to keep in mind that Justin Baldoni's lawsuit
00:05:03.120
against Blake, Ryan, Leslie, and New York Times
00:05:06.020
was dismissed not because of lack of evidence of what they were claiming,
00:05:10.660
but because the judge said you can't sue someone that has sued you first for harassment
00:05:15.920
because there are anti-slap laws that are designed to shield harassment accusers.
00:05:24.160
So yeah, the judge acknowledges that the harassment accusations could be false
00:05:33.000
and that someone chose to spread that information anyways might cost them a lot.
00:05:41.240
Yeah, it's not a good day to be Stephanie Jones or Blake or Ryan for that matter.
00:05:46.280
New York Post picked this up saying Justin Baldoni legal win against Blake Lively
00:05:55.000
It says here in a legal case that already spilled more tea than the 1773 Boston party
00:06:01.600
the Blake Lively vs. Jussie Baldoni illegal saga is poised to deliver even more.
00:06:07.980
On Thursday, federal judge Louis Lyman ruled that Baldoni's defamation lawsuit against his former publicist Stephanie Jones can proceed.
00:06:17.040
This is a big loss for Jones, who was sued not by Baldoni himself, but his production company Wayfarer.
00:06:23.720
The ruling also subjects a number of players in the sprawling narrative to the possibility of discovery, including Jones, as well as Lively's publicist.
00:06:34.840
Oh, yes, we're going to see more from Leslie Sloan.
00:06:37.660
And here they have a quote from a spokesperson from the Wayfair parties saying that the court further allowed claims to move forward that Stephanie Jones of Jones' work acted in bad faith,
00:06:47.720
including feeding harmful narratives to third parties and undermining her own client during
00:06:54.400
a critical moment. These are not minor disputes. They are claims the court has found substantial
00:07:01.140
enough to move forward into discovery. We are confident the full record will expose
00:07:06.380
how these narratives were manufactured and why. So yes, I was just looking at Stephanie Jones
00:07:14.220
Instagram it's of course private and now I couldn't find her company on Instagram anymore
00:07:18.960
Jones Works is gone from Instagram and their website there's just some like information on
00:07:24.140
how to contact them so I'm thinking Stephanie Jones is probably in hiding although this is
00:07:31.160
really funny her attorney came out and said this is a huge win for Stephanie Jones listen to this
00:07:39.540
comment this is so funny so kristin taller said this to tmz uh she said this is an overwhelming
00:07:48.040
win for miss jones the court dismissed the centerpiece of wayfarer and boldoni's claims
00:07:54.140
and it's gone for good the court also made clear at this early stage it was not evaluating any
00:08:01.540
actual evidence of course because they're at an early stage so they're not evaluating evidence
00:08:10.960
Even so, Wayfairer could not point to a single shred of evidence to support their claims,
00:08:16.260
underscoring once again that their claims have no factual basis.
00:08:21.160
I love that she's coming out saying that this is a win,
00:08:25.920
while her client has to face these two other charges, which are terrible for her.
00:08:32.880
And all the media outlets are writing about this as it is a big win for Baldoni and Stephanie Jones' attorney is like, no, no, no, no, no, we won.
00:08:42.500
Yeah, so TMZ's headline is Judge Greenlight's defamation suit ex-publicist.
00:08:49.460
A rep for Wayfair tells TMZ we are pleased with the court's decision to deny Stephanie Jones' attempt to dismiss Wayfair's lawsuit and to allow our court claims, defamation and bad face conduct.
00:09:02.360
Yeah, it's amazing how these attorneys just keep lying to the press
00:09:07.260
and saying that this is great for Stephanie Jones.
00:09:14.860
Okay, so let's talk about this dump of documents that Blake Lively just threw at Justin Baldoni's team.
00:09:21.780
It was a thousand pages and 40 witnesses, including myself.
00:09:27.160
And I want to show you this interview with a real sociopath.
00:09:30.160
half and how I feel like her way of thinking and her personality fits some of the players in this
00:09:38.420
game. Anyways, before we get into that, I wanted to thank the two sponsors of this video, Wayfair
00:09:44.520
and Flamingo. But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the two sponsors of this video,
00:09:50.340
Wayfair and Flamingo. Okay, I've been in full spring refresh mode lately and I've been spending
00:09:55.420
a lot of time on Wayfair planning how to upgrade our apartments. I love the clean modern Scandinavian
0.99
00:10:02.080
look with a bit of warmth so I've been looking at a lot of lighter bedding, some new outdoor furniture
00:10:07.760
and cushions of course. Cushions upgrades every space if you ask me. I have a mission to make
00:10:13.620
things more clean and organized so I've been looking at a lot of smarter storage solutions.
00:10:19.540
What I really like about Wayfair is that it's so easy to find what you're looking for. You can
00:10:24.200
filter by style, price, size, and it doesn't feel overwhelming. And I always check the reviews,
00:10:31.660
which makes me feel a lot more confident before I order. I also love, love, love that they're
00:10:37.640
offering assembly options. Because if I'm being completely honest here, I'm really not that keen
00:10:43.040
on spending hours of putting furniture together. I already have a wish list going, including maybe
00:10:50.520
some stuff for my studio here and my home office needs a little bit of an upgrade. Yeah, who doesn't
00:10:57.340
want a more elevated and functional space? If you're thinking of refreshing your space this
00:11:02.760
season, you should definitely check this out. Find furniture, decor and essentials that fit your

00:11:21.500
Also, a big thank you to Flamingo for sponsoring this episode.
00:11:25.160
Okay, I have to mention this because I genuinely love when something turns a chore into actually self-care.
00:11:31.100
For me, self-care are things like playing tennis, cooking with Magnus, walking Oscar, doing my skincare routine.
00:11:38.640
But shaving? That's always felt like something I just rush through.
00:11:43.340
And half the time, I end up with some irritation somewhere on my skin.
00:11:50.160
But that totally changed when I tried Flamingo.
00:11:56.200
It has a really nice weighted handle, so it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy.
00:12:03.000
No irritation, no bumps, and my skin stays soft for days.
00:12:08.780
I love that this brand is created, especially with women in mind.
00:12:12.540
I also love this cover that makes it easier to just put away somewhere
00:12:19.860
It comes with a razor, a cartage, this really nice foaming shave gel,
00:12:24.460
a dermaplane razor for your face, and even a shower holder
00:12:28.380
so your razor isn't just laying around somewhere.
00:12:36.100

Just head to shopflamingo.com slash Kiashti
0.93
00:13:03.440
So please support my channel and tell them I sent you.
00:13:08.040
People Magazine is actually reporting on this dump
00:13:12.320
from blake lively's side so yesterday jesse baldone and the wayfair parties wrote in an
00:13:18.960
email to the judge saying hey blake lively's team just dumped a thousand pages on us of new
00:13:26.000
evidence a lot of it is social media posts and websites and whatever and also she sent us a list
00:13:35.420
of 40 potential witnesses and you know the deadline is getting closer to the trial and
00:13:41.600
before the trial both parties have a deadline to submit all pre-trial material to the judge so the
00:13:48.920
judge know what witnesses they're going to bring to trial and also what kind of evidence they're
00:13:54.640
going to bring to trial and the reason for Blake Lively's team to dump all of this on the wayfair
00:13:59.060
parties now is just to pile on extra work on them which is so unnecessary because they don't want
00:14:05.140
them to be prepared for trial obviously they want to make it as difficult as possible for them so
00:14:10.740
the Wayfair parties told the judge hey judge this is ridiculous and we can't look through all of
00:14:16.080
these thousand pages by the deadline for the pre-trial material so please give us an extra
00:14:21.980
week because of this dump and Blake Lively's team hurried up and wrote back to the judge saying
00:14:28.240
don't give them more time they just want to delay things and that's that's their strategy blah blah
00:14:34.980
blah and the judge said i don't care i'm gonna give them an extra week for this so another win
00:14:41.680
for justin baldoni so people magazine picked this story up saying justin baldoni and co-defendants
00:14:47.940
accuse blake lively side of document dump as judge grant request for extend pre-trial deadline
00:14:55.520
the judge granted baldoni request extending pre-trial deadline and setting an april 2nd
00:15:00.340
status conference as both sides clash over trial prep weeks before May 18. May 18 is the date of
00:15:08.760
the trial as we know so far it could be pushed who knows a lot of things can happen before then
00:15:14.520
but they do have a meeting on April 2nd that also you guys can actually dial into. We can't record
00:15:21.600
the meeting but we can observe what's happening in the meeting. It says here that the filing points
00:15:26.840
to the 38 year old actress identifying more than 40 potential witnesses I've gone through the
00:15:32.760
witness list before can you imagine 40 people being witnesses for Blake I mean how many people
00:15:40.320
were directly involved in the movie that are going to witness for her well according to the list it's
00:15:46.740
only people that's on her payroll like her makeup artist and hair person some people from Sony though
00:15:53.340
But mainly what caught my attention are all the people who has nothing to do with this lawsuit whatsoever.
00:15:59.620
People like Gigi Hadid and people like Ryan's niece.
00:16:07.940
Also, Ryan's mother is on this list and her own sister is on this list.
00:16:15.040
And I am on this list as a potential witness, unless it's been updated since October.
00:16:21.500
I don't know if that has happened we haven't seen a new list from her but according to that list
00:16:26.920
I am a witness and also Hugh Jackman what does he know he only knows second-hand information
00:16:34.860
from Blake and Ryan who's been talking crap about Baldoni directly to him what kind of witness
00:16:41.420
is that he was never at the set of it ends with us and how would he know if the Wayfair parties
00:16:48.400
was involved in this alleged smear campaign also we have scooter brawn on this list because he is
00:16:56.120
i think the founder or part owner in tag this crisis management company so how would he know
00:17:03.800
what the crisis management company was up to like melissa nathan who is working for tag how would
00:17:09.520
he know that they just put celebrity names on here to look more powerful i don't know uh he hasn't
00:17:15.960
been deposed or anything like that so I don't know if he could even be a witness and then you
00:17:20.500
have Alexis Bledel who's Blake Lively's co-star from Traveling Sister Pants whatever that movie is
1.00
00:17:27.020
and she is also on this list what does she know was she there and as you know Claire Ayoub this
00:17:34.020
other person who once worked with Baldoni on another project and she was so upset with him
00:17:39.760
because she wanted to double the budget of the movie and he said no and then she said that he
00:17:45.180
verbally abused her and Blake Levy wants to use that information in her lawsuit. Anyways all of
00:17:51.540
this is just so bananas to me. Anyways as I said I found this interview with a sociopath. She is
1.00
00:17:59.300
medically diagnosed as a sociopath and I found this so interesting because she was being completely
00:18:05.560
honest about her lack of ability to feel guilt, empathy, to feel any regrets. She also talked
00:18:15.660
about the feelings that drive her a lot, which is rage, content, and disgust. And she also talks
00:18:23.480
about what a good liar she is and how she is a master in manipulating. And also something very
0.92
00:18:30.860
interesting. She said about being in love or being in a relationship, which is very different from
00:18:37.660
how other regular people feel when they're in love. And the things that she said of the length
00:18:44.120
she would go to protect a partner, because she felt that when she was in a relationship with
00:18:49.660
someone, that person would be an extension of herself. So she would do anything to protect
00:18:57.840
this person and she could spend months planning revenge on someone anyways here are some of the
00:19:07.860
things coming straight from a sociopath you react out of coldness and a long calculated strategy
00:19:15.040
i can spend a year two years working on a plot to get back at somebody don't experience empathy
00:19:21.100
guilt or remorse i think the strongest emotions i feel are rage contempt contempt is probably the
00:19:27.200
strongest feeling I have. Disgust. I've been in love twice and I will decide to love them. I will
00:19:32.680
do whatever's in their best interest because I see them as an extension of myself and I would never
00:19:37.500
want myself to be harmed. So if anyone with me is you know attacked or bullied or treated poorly by
00:19:44.960
anybody I will be there no matter what and yes I would risk prison for them. My manipulations are
00:19:50.280
so fantastic and I can lie better than I would say anybody. The lies are what makes the sociopath
00:19:56.500
the lies are the one the lies are the only things keeping us going yes listening to this I was like
00:20:03.020
oh this explains a lot of the mentality that these some of these people involved in this lawsuit
00:20:09.300
might have these are traits that I think describes exactly the traits of a person that could go after
00:20:18.960
someone like Justin Baldoni the way that they did. Because to normal people who have empathy
00:20:25.740
and sympathy and are basically honest human beings, they would never be able to go through
00:20:33.240
with something like this and to keep pushing it and never stop and never give up. And I think if
00:20:40.380
you're able to do that based on so many lies, I think you might have something like this woman
0.99
00:20:48.200
has allegedly allegedly anyways thank you guys so much for watching I really appreciate all your
