00:00:00.000 So now we know there was no phone calls and there is no wedding invitation and Taylor wants everyone
00:00:08.160 to know that. Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, I'm Kersti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller
00:00:18.580 and your voice of reason in a town built on the illusion. As I said yesterday Taylor Swift's team
00:00:25.280 has been working hard, making sure that everyone knows that Taylor never called Blake lively to try
00:00:32.480 and mend their friendship. But they never denied that Blake was invited to the wedding until now.
00:00:40.260 Yes, so the big question still remains. Who planted that story? Let's get into it. In the
00:00:47.340 meantime, Blake has been busy posting stories on Instagram with photos of her and Ryan resembling
00:00:54.500 someone getting married being really really happy she says in the caption no matter where you are
00:01:02.720 you're the only person in the room so if Taylor even thinks that Blake is bothered by not being
00:01:08.300 invited to her wedding think again because Blake is so busy being in love with her husband and
00:01:15.120 shopping by herself by the way those photos we saw yesterday not so glamorous but it's very clear to
00:01:21.500 me what's going on right now. And Justin Baldoni's attorney, Brian Friedman, has shared some more
00:01:27.200 information about what it was like for the men and for their families when they first learned
00:01:33.540 about Blake Lively's lawsuit. This is so heartbreaking. Another really disturbing story
00:01:40.100 involves Justin Baldoni's ex-podcast host, Liz Plank. I spoke about her yesterday. If you missed
00:01:46.000 that episode, you should really watch it. What she's up to now. Getting people to pay for Patreon
00:01:51.440 membership so they can hear her trash Justin Baldoni behind the paywall. Anyway, someone found
00:01:56.700 an episode of Man Enough where Liz Plank is having a conversation with Natasha Heath, Jamie Heath's
00:02:03.980 wife, and Emily Baldoni, Justin Baldoni's wife. And you won't believe what she told them and the
00:02:11.180 timing of that interview. And it's mind-blowing to me. Anyways, let's start off by looking into
00:02:18.580 Taylor and Blake's friendship. It's been a lot of rumors lately and as I said yesterday I wonder
00:02:26.300 who planted the story that Blake Lively had received a phone call from Taylor Swift offering
00:02:33.720 her an olive branch and inviting her to the wedding. Who did that? Yesterday I said I thought
00:02:41.120 Blake Lively's team did it but now I'm starting to wonder if Taylor Swift's team actually planted
00:02:45.520 the story themselves so they could come out and double down on Blake not being invited and make
00:02:52.220 a bigger splash about it. The way it looks now, Taylor is holding a grudge at Blake. Otherwise,
00:02:58.220 why would she even come out and deny that she has been invited to the wedding? If she had any hopes
00:03:05.200 that their friendship would ever survive anything, she wouldn't do that. Anyways, New York Post did
00:03:10.200 this story trying to correct things for everyone, saying where Taylor Swift and Blake Lively really
00:03:15.040 stand ahead of Travis Kelce's wedding. Taylor Swift and Blake Wiley may never ever be getting
00:03:21.660 back together as friends. A source exclusively told Page Six the pop superstar has not extended
00:03:28.180 a wedding invitation to the actress despite reports suggesting the pair are working their
00:03:34.140 way back to one another. There hasn't been an olive branch when it comes to their friendship,
00:03:39.960 the insider said and taylor hasn't extended a wedding invitation to blake so now we know
00:03:47.240 there was no phone calls and there is no wedding invitation and taylor wants everyone to know that
00:03:55.600 then the new york post is talking about that article that the daily mail did with the sources
00:04:00.120 saying that this is the case a story that they also themselves actually picked up by the way
00:04:05.240 trusting the sources that told daily mail about this but i'm guessing they had some phone calls
00:04:10.520 with these so-called sources who tell them that this was happening anyways as i said blake has
00:04:15.740 been super busy sharing her love for her husband it was father's day on sunday so she did a story
00:04:23.600 with lots of photos of him a video of herself pregnant performing a speech to her husband when
00:04:29.300 he was awarded something and another photo of him saying that he's the greatest man there is
00:04:35.240 and that she's ever known and whatever and the media picked it up like oh Blake Riley loves
00:04:40.140 Ryan Reynolds so much but then she was photographed shopping at this mall looking like a mess so now
00:04:47.180 she had to remind everyone that she can be really glamorous so she posted these old photos of her
00:04:54.080 and Ryan on her Instagram story and if someone told me that this was a couple getting married
00:05:00.020 and these were their wedding photos the way that they post together I would be like totally buying
00:05:05.440 that and she captioned this story no matter where we are you were the only person in the room
00:05:11.080 sure after four children and 12 years of marriage you're so in love with this person after you
00:05:19.600 ruined your own career and spent 30 million dollars doing it of his money most likely and
00:05:26.020 tarnishing his career as well and sacrificing throwing taylor swift your best friend under the
00:05:32.700 bus in the making all of all of all of this you're so happy in love with the husband who's never at
00:05:38.720 home by the way as least she got what she wanted by the media picking this up and making creating
00:05:44.420 stories about it the Daily Mail People magazine was like oh Blake Lively loves her husband so much
00:05:50.840 and she also created a post which is rare these days with her and Ryan in some street in New York
00:05:57.760 I remember that photo of Ryan wearing that exact outfit he posted the same picture like two weeks
00:06:03.480 ago so this is not a recent photo although I think Blake wants us to believe that she celebrated
00:06:08.420 Father's Day with him I'm not so sure that she did that as we saw that photo of her shopping by
00:06:13.240 herself upstate New York why was she out shopping by the way someone mentioned in a comment that
00:06:18.860 she needed this special security to do her deposition in New York and that Justin's team
00:06:24.440 had to do the deposition on her in the offices of her attorneys because of security reasons
00:06:31.400 and here she is by herself after everything that has happened not worried about anything by the
00:06:37.480 way, that post that she did on Instagram, father of all my favorite children, was liked by Brandon
00:06:43.740 Sklenar. He never learns. Apparently, he deleted his entire Instagram to start over again because
00:06:51.620 it was so much trolling going on after everyone learned how he was helping Blake colluding against
00:06:59.300 Justin Baldoni. And now he likes her Instagram post. Like, yeah, remember these texts from Alex
00:07:06.220 the producer of the movie that also went against Justin Baldoni she sent a text message to Todd 1.00
00:07:12.960 Black at Sony saying that the dinner was lovely they all had a dinner together a lot of shit 0.96
00:07:19.360 talking amongst Blake and Brandon and Isabella when she was included about Justin Baldoni Todd 0.98
00:07:25.260 Black asked and she said yes they all hate him it was them me my two best friends Vivian Baker
00:07:31.800 makeup was on our movie Blake's hair person Jennifer and Ryan's mom and she said Blake was
00:07:40.040 in great spirits so this was in June of 2024 just a reminder how Brandon Sklenor helped Blake
00:07:47.780 wildly and supported her throughout this and as you know he's having a glowing career at the
00:07:52.880 moment so it really worked out for him and maybe that's why he liked her post anyway something I
00:07:58.960 missed yesterday thank you linda for pointing this out remember that father's day video that
00:08:04.300 ryan reynolds posted when he was lifting up this kid saying that are you dieting you're so light
00:08:10.260 before he slapped her butt and pushed her to the steps so linda was saying this i think that the
00:08:15.300 video that ryan posted with a little girl from a movie for father's day was a dig at justin the 0.70
00:08:21.040 lifting of the little girl and mentioning being on a diet much like justin's concerns with lifting
00:08:26.900 Blake which became a huge deal and then she says if I'm right can you imagine the time Ryan spent
00:08:32.380 looking researching for a video clip to post I'm sure there were hundreds more Ryan could have
00:08:38.200 posted but this was but this one was deliberate and diabolical Ryan is a true full-out narcissist
00:08:44.600 yeah I never even thought about that of course it makes total sense to me and again proof that they
00:08:53.060 are not done with Justin and I don't think they ever will be because in their minds everything
00:08:59.560 that's happening to them now is also his fault. Okay so let's look into Liz Plank a little bit
00:09:06.160 more. When I saw this video I was shocked. Thank you to Boca Go Hawks for finding this episode. 0.97
00:09:14.680 She posted it on her YouTube first and someone sent it to me. Lisa and Linda thank you so much
00:09:20.420 for doing that. This is really heartbreaking to watch. So this was the 100th episode of Justin
00:09:27.160 and Jamie Heath and Liz Plank's podcast. They had done this podcast for over two years at this point
00:09:34.380 and they were celebrating this anniversary by inviting their wives to the podcast with Liz.
00:09:44.040 So first Justin and Jamie introduced their wives and then they decided to leave the podcast. So it
00:09:49.460 will be a women's only podcast and when justin left he said to liz plank let's go get out of here
00:09:57.040 i love you too liz i love you more i love you too liz and she said i love you more and this episode
00:10:05.120 this is the interesting part this episode was uploaded and probably also recorded around the
00:10:12.900 same time on January 9th, 2024. So this is five days after that January 4th meeting where Blake
00:10:24.480 wanted Justin and Jamie to sign that 17-point list that she had made and sent to them, by the
00:10:34.040 way, in November already earlier that year. But she waited to have this meeting so that the Me Too
00:10:40.700 law that she's talking about now to get these attorney's fees had taken effect and of course
00:10:47.020 their wives were informed about this and they went on this podcast trusting Liz Plank and they asked
00:10:55.040 Liz Plank about her experience being the only female in this podcast and Liz responded like
00:11:03.100 this happens to me all the time like I'll be in a group with with men and no matter how progressive
00:11:07.360 and amazing they are, like, I just don't talk as much. I don't say what I think as much. I will be
00:11:12.060 kind of, you know, take a backseat. And when when when I'm with a group of men where I don't do
00:11:18.040 that, I know I'm with a really, really good group. And that's how I felt on this podcast. And it took
00:11:22.620 work like and Jamie and Justin, having the amazing relationship that they have, they've, I think,
00:11:29.840 helped each other, you know, monitoring how included I was, and how, you know, making sure
00:11:35.360 i don't get interrupted and i've gotten so much out of being heard on this podcast by men where
00:11:41.280 i don't feel like i need to wrestle my way in and it's been such a beautiful evolution i feel
00:11:44.840 really really grateful like sometimes i'll watch our little clips and i'm like and like i'll be
00:11:49.220 talking and then there's like justin's like jamie's like and i'm like and here's the crazy
00:11:58.200 part. Nine months prior to this podcast, Ryan Reynolds texted her and said, I'm a little
00:12:06.800 baffled by Mr. Baldoni. I would love any guidance at some point. This was sent to Liz Plank on April
00:12:13.640 12th, 2023. Liz says, rats, I tried to warn Blake on the red flags, but was hoping he had gotten
00:12:22.220 better i'm on a shoot right now want me to call you after and ryan says sure zero pressure as
00:12:29.660 they always say we can chat tomorrow and cue or sigh whatever and liz says oh i'm sorry ryan
00:12:35.780 working on his set was truly one of the worst days of my life but it's survivable and i'll help
00:12:43.660 call me anytime tomorrow so i guess we can assume that they had a conversation the next day about
00:12:50.780 this and we also seen how liz was communicating with blake lively behind the back of justin and 0.98
00:12:58.420 jamie while she was still on this podcast with them and here she is in front of their wives
00:13:05.460 talking about how amazing it was and what an evolution this was and how great it was they
00:13:11.540 were listening to her in this podcast either she was lying to them or she was lying to blake and
00:13:18.240 ryan about her experience and now as i said yesterday she has created a patreon and in that
00:13:23.980 teaser she promised that she would trash talk justin behind this paywall uh i didn't mention 0.94
00:13:32.660 that he was can you imagine that you're sitting in front of these two women the wives of these men
00:13:46.200 who later was accused of sh by blake lively and basically ryan reynolds how do you sleep at night
00:13:53.960 you know blake used jamie heath's wife natasha's birthing video to make him look like a creep at
00:14:02.280 one point she actually also complains about something and this whole thing just says
00:14:07.220 everything you need to know about her and at one point that i was doing the minutes you know and i
00:14:11.740 was sort of the only person that was kind of managing the time not because they purposely
00:14:15.080 thought that i should but because it was invisible to them and i had just taken on that role yeah 1.00
00:14:19.540 and i felt very frustrated by that that role um these sort of feminine roles that women are you
00:14:24.280 know expected to take on and that we're good at but that we're like just because i'm good at it
00:14:27.640 it doesn't mean i'm the only one who should be shouldering it yes yes because she was taking
00:14:32.040 the minutes and they didn't notice that she was taking the minutes that was really sexist because 1.00
00:14:37.360 usually women take the minutes it's a female thing like what where on earth did that come from 1.00
00:14:44.180 I didn't know that that was a woman's job, like a traditional female job to take minutes at a 1.00
00:14:50.620 podcast. And when you listen to Liz Plank talk, she talks and talks and talks and talks. And then 0.93
00:14:57.400 she was saying that, you know, when she's around men, they don't allow her to talk so much. Have
00:15:02.460 you ever been in a room filled with women and there's one man? Do you think that he gets a word 1.00
00:15:07.940 I'm sorry that generalization is just bs I know so many dominant women who talks and talks and 1.00
00:15:16.240 talks it doesn't matter if there's men there they would talk over anyone and the same with men it's 1.00
00:15:21.980 not a gender thing that men talks more than women maybe some men are disrespectful towards women
00:15:28.760 like in an environment that's very macho for example but same thing happens to men I just 1.00
00:15:35.100 think that Liz Plank's problem is that no one wants to listen to her in general and her word
00:15:39.600 salad and her narcissistic train of thoughts which I can't relate to whatsoever and I am a woman and 0.97
00:15:46.240 it seems like she doesn't get a lot of support I was just looking at that video I spoke about
00:15:50.260 yesterday with her in the bathtub someone commented and said mic drop which I thought was quite funny
00:15:56.180 but anyways it has 1800 views at this point when I'm recording this now and it has 12 likes and
00:16:03.460 415 comments. That's insane. So people only came to that video to throw shade at Liz Plank. So
00:16:13.520 basically every fourth person that watched that video commented on it and only 12 people liked it.
00:16:20.960 So for example, if one of my videos have 100,000 views, I should have 25,000 comments. That never
00:16:27.420 happens maybe i'll get 1500 comments yes so good luck with your patreon list plank okay let's jump
00:16:34.600 to this brian friedman interview this was quite interesting he's done quite a few interviews he
00:16:38.820 was here on my channel as well but what he said in this interview i haven't heard anywhere before
00:16:44.240 he started talking about how he received the phone call from blake widely's team that they
00:16:49.020 wanted to settle and they called him on a friday i remember he told me that that he had packed his
00:16:53.660 suits was ready to go to new york to prepare for the trial and then during that weekend they managed
00:16:59.280 to settle this lawsuit so blake lively could go to the med gala and brian friedman said this to
00:17:04.560 fox news he said i've never personally been involved in a case where or even seen one in
00:17:10.120 over 30 years of practice where somebody puts out everything in the case and says here it is
00:17:16.340 decide for yourself and they're mentioning here the lawsuit against blake lively the 224 pages
00:17:23.460 this defamation lawsuit that was dismissed and now the wayfair parties are stuck with paying
00:17:29.500 attorney's fees for blake lively for defending herself against that he explained to fox here
00:17:34.300 why it was so important in the beginning to get all these documents out there i've seen people
00:17:40.480 online saying that it wasn't a smart move to file this defamation suit against blake lively because
00:17:46.640 it's really hard to win defamation lawsuits and also because it triggered this me too law this
00:17:52.620 47.1 which allows Blake to claim attorney's fees for for defending herself against that case and
00:18:01.220 as you know these attorney's fees there's still a big discussion about them. My take on that is
00:18:06.320 it was the only way for them to get the truth out. If they would have just dumped all this evidence
00:18:12.820 on a website it would not have created the headlines it did and the truth would not have
00:18:18.560 come out and the only thing that was important for Justin Baldoni was for the truth to come out if
00:18:24.820 their party or their insurance company now has to pay a hundred to two hundred thousand dollars for
00:18:31.080 that it was totally worth it for them and of course they had conversations with their attorneys
00:18:36.860 about this the risk of actually filing a lawsuit back but as I said I don't think they had a choice
00:18:43.260 I know how the media works the media is not going to go on this website and look through all this
00:18:47.920 evidence and create headlines. They will create headlines if there's a major 400 million dollar
00:18:54.140 lawsuit. But here's what broke my heart, what Friedman said, when Friedman explained what it
00:18:59.040 was like when Blake filed her lawsuit, he said that it felt like a morgue inside the way for
00:19:07.320 offices immediately after the allegations against Baldoni became public. It was debilitating and it
00:19:13.540 was sad and people's families were there can you imagine what it was like for their wives when they
00:19:21.160 read that article in the new york times and the way he's describing it it felt like a morgue i can't
00:19:26.800 believe all the damage that these people have done brian friedman added here what i'll tell you is
00:19:32.100 that i saw spiritual people who believed in the truth that were devastated and mostly devastated
00:19:37.500 because of the impact on the DV survivors and I saw people that cared and that were meaningful
00:19:44.660 and were honest and open I want him to speak he's saying about Justin I really want him to talk
00:19:50.600 about what it's been like for him and I think that would be much more meaningful than listening to me
00:19:55.600 one more time yeah I really hope that Justin will come out and talk about this as well I can't wait
00:20:00.900 for the day that he does and also his wife and Jamie Heath and his wife Melissa Nathan Jennifer
00:20:06.900 Crabill, everyone, Steve Sarawis, his family, you know, I want to hear their stories. Anyways,
00:20:12.660 that's all I have time for today. I was just looking at Oscar, my executive producer's
00:20:18.580 position back here. It's very inappropriate. Anyways, I won't be posting anything tomorrow
00:20:25.460 or on Thursday because I'm going to Sweden to celebrate Magnus' mom's 90th birthday,
00:20:32.180 but I will be back here on Friday I promise anyways thank you so much for watching and if
