She told him that he made her feel like and he started crying and then she's making fun of that
00:00:05.940
and saying that it was a performance. Hi and welcome to Blossom Talk. I'm Sjashti Floor,
00:00:15.520
journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:21.820
There is so much going on today you guys. There's so much new stuff coming out. There's so much to
00:00:27.800
go through and I already published one episode today but we have so much more to talk about so
00:00:32.900
here we go again. I wanted to share with you some of the conversation that's been unsealed between
00:00:38.900
Blake Wively and her co-stars and how she manipulated them to go against Justin Baldoni and also how she
00:00:46.500
S-H Brandon Sklenor in a text message and we also have to talk about the lies she spread to Colin
00:00:53.620
Hoover about Justin and we have a new very interesting text mail message from Jamie Heat
00:00:59.980
calling Blake Wively a monster. This is actually the first time I've heard him say anything negative
00:01:05.740
about her and we have to talk about this email that Blake Wively sent to this person she was doing
00:01:11.480
another movie with lying her teeth out saying that Justin was fired by Sony and she had to take over
00:01:19.840
the movie. We also have a thread of text messages where Blake Wively is smearing Justin Baldoni to
00:01:26.320
a friend. I don't know who this friend is yet but maybe you guys can help me out here. So here we have
00:01:31.960
a conversation between Blake Wively and her co-star Brandon Sklenor. As you know he played her other
00:01:39.800
love interest in the movie It Ends With Us and after he played her co-star Blake recommended him
00:01:46.180
to Paul Feig who then cast him in a movie that's out now called The Housemaid. Blake Wively and Paul
00:01:53.920
Feig are very close and he directed her in a simple favor and another simple favor and he's one of the
00:02:00.560
very few people who's been out there publicly supporting Blake. So Brandon played along with
00:02:06.000
Blake and as we know now that really benefited him. So here is the conversation between Brandon
00:02:12.740
and Blake. This is on the 24th of May so a few months before the premiere. So Brandon is responding
00:02:22.260
to Blake saying hi so sorry for the delay. I'm sure this goes for him as well that he felt really
00:02:27.900
pressured by Blake to take her side because during this whole conversation it's pretty obvious that he
00:02:34.660
doesn't want to take part in smearing Justin. So he's attaching some stuff here I don't know what that
00:02:40.500
is and loved an audio message that Blake had sent him. Then it's just a lot of internal talk here
00:02:45.480
and then Blake is saying to Brandon you'll be busy in Dallas instead and then she's adding
00:02:54.140
I'm becoming pimp adjacent put on a short little skirt and get on that corner Sklenor. She spells his
00:03:02.760
last name wrong. She's asking him to put on a little skirt and get on that corner like a prostitute
00:03:09.620
and she's saying because I'm not selling his movie on him meaning that she's not selling this movie
00:03:15.300
on Justin. She wants to sell this movie on Brandon and that's why she wants him to dress in a little
00:03:22.540
skirt and get on the corner. And then she's saying to Brandon he's really good in it talking about
00:03:27.840
Justin's performance. I made sure of it because he's the abuser and it shouldn't be and it shouldn't
00:03:35.280
be centered on him regardless of the process. I hope your show gives you space to hustle. So Brandon
00:03:43.360
is a part of this tv show that he talked about he's very busy and she continues to say especially
00:03:48.220
once it comes out week two will be a time that it will get especially heated for you. Just something
00:03:54.740
to think about and maximize. So I don't know if she's thinking that it will be heated for him because
00:04:00.240
of all the backlash he'll be receiving because of her or if she's saying that it will be heated to
00:04:05.640
him in a positive way that he will receive a lot of attention. And then she's sending some more gifts.
00:04:10.560
She keeps sending these gifts. I think it's to mock Justin. I don't know. And then Brandon keeps just
00:04:15.360
liking things and loving things and laughing at things. He's not really commenting back. Then Brandon
00:04:21.920
responds. They're saying I'm working on it. They're particularly shitty about that but I'm going to do
00:04:25.600
everything I can to make it happen. It would be a crime not to ride the momentum. And then Blake says
00:04:30.660
it would be get Warren on that. So now it actually turns out there that they have the same agent.
00:04:37.760
Warren Zavala. I read a lot of text messages between Ryan Reynolds and Warren Zavala the other day
00:04:44.420
when he was putting pressure on him to get Justin Baldoni to write this statement that to take all
00:04:51.280
responsibility for everything that went wrong with the promotional events with us. So now it turns
00:04:55.500
out actually that Brandon Sklenar has the same agents. Of course that makes a lot of sense.
00:05:01.720
And so then Blake says get Warren on that. And then Brandon says on it. And then Blake says
00:05:08.720
bank some beforehand and maybe there's something you can do in Austin too. It doesn't really matter.
00:05:15.280
The impact will be evergreen. But as someone whose show kept me from every opportunity outside of it,
00:05:21.640
I look back now and see how shitty that was and how I could have along with my team pushed harder to
00:05:27.840
make space for the few moments I needed during production to honor the work I did outside of it.
00:05:33.280
So she's basically telling Brandon here who had a role in the TV show 1923 that they're not treating
00:05:40.180
him well because they should allow him to do these things outside of that TV show. And the same thing
00:05:46.680
happened to her with Gossip Girl when she was on that show. And she regrets that now that she didn't
00:05:51.760
push for them to let her do more stuff outside of it. So it seemed to me here that she's saying like,
00:05:57.340
hey, screw them. Come and promote this movie with me instead. And then she continues to manipulate him
00:06:03.540
here saying they feel like you owe them. So they tend to attempt to dim your light so you don't outgrow them.
00:06:10.260
And it has the opposite effect than they intend. It makes you resent. It makes you resent them and want
00:06:17.340
to get out. So she's just basically projecting her experience on Gossip Girl to his experience
00:06:23.680
on being on 1923 here. If they just made space for you to do the work you needed in a way that worked
00:06:32.240
for everyone, you would be indebted and grateful. At least that was my experience on my show. It was all
00:06:38.700
of hours. So she's talking for everyone on Gossip Girl now that it was everyone's experience that the
00:06:43.740
show made them feel like they owed them. So Brandon responds here saying, thankfully, we only have
00:06:49.040
seven episodes left. It was only meant to be the eight and they added seven more as soon as we started
00:06:54.600
the first eight. Now, no more shows after this. That's for damn sure. I'm on for 14th to 16th in Texas.
00:07:02.020
And then Blake says, yes, queen. If you're going to go back to LA, you can ride with me and my baby
00:07:10.980
boy. And Brandon says, I will be. And then he continues, I have a birthday party in SB on Sunday.
00:07:19.220
Blake says, I have Father's Day in LA with Ryan and kids. So we'll leave early Sunday. And then she
00:07:24.640
adds, and because Justin speaks to my dead father, maybe he can help let him know I'm in LA for Father's
00:07:30.400
Day. Brandon laughs at that. And then he says, perfect. What time are you thinking on Sunday?
00:07:36.200
And she says, I don't know, like seven or eight, depending on flight time to LA. It will be quicker
00:07:41.300
because it's private. So she's flying private here. I'm sure she added that cost to the production as
00:07:47.200
well. So Wayfair parties had to pay for her flying private everywhere. And then they're talking about
00:07:51.860
when they'll be there around 10 p.m. The screening's at 10 p.m. So it's late, blah, blah, blah. And
00:07:57.720
Brandon says, I can be there. And then Blake says, she loves that. And Blake adds here,
00:08:03.420
but Justin is emailing today saying he took some things from my cut. So I felt acknowledged
00:08:07.720
and can move forward. And he's locking his cut before the bake-off. This bake-off she keeps
00:08:12.760
talking about is when they're showing both versions of the movie to Sony and they're supposed to choose
00:08:18.040
the best one, which they never did. But anyways, and Brandon says, wow. And Blake says, he's batshit.
00:08:24.580
And she continues, he wasn't authorized to watch my cut yet, but went into the Avid to watch and then
00:08:31.880
to take things from it. He wasn't authorized to watch my cuts. This is his movie. I mean,
00:08:39.180
this is so crazy. And Brandon says, well, it will still be yours in the end. And then she says,
00:08:46.240
it won't be a Frankenstein cut. It will be his or mine in their entirety. And Brandon says,
00:08:53.160
thank God, I'll be yours. Can't believe he did that. I mean, I can. He's definitely scrambling,
00:08:59.740
Brandon says. Also totally effing himself for any future work, Brandon's culinary says about Justin
00:09:05.960
here. So now he's warming up to smearing Justin a little bit more here. And Blake says, oh, you don't
00:09:10.640
know the first of it. And Blake continues to say, yeah, the crazy thing is, I would have continued to
00:09:17.300
let him take credit for everything. Why is it in her power to let him take credit for anything?
00:09:21.960
He would have been handed a career really because of her. He would have been effed on his next job,
00:09:29.000
but he at least would have been a big success and he'll still hit. But the word is out. And I've
00:09:36.000
been protecting it from getting out because all I want to do is focus on the work and not be pulled
00:09:43.320
into the effing effing mess they made. But they wreak havoc everywhere they go and everyone sees it.
00:09:52.740
Then they come to me. Really? So Blake is the savior here and she's not the one creating all this mess,
00:10:00.580
going to everyone around her, backstabbing the wayfar parties. No, it's them. And this is interesting
00:10:08.760
because now she's trying to make Brandon admit he said something that he can't even remember.
00:10:15.140
He said something hushed to you on the set of Root, but I didn't hear the rest. He said,
00:10:21.320
oh man, I have something to tell you, but I'll probably get counsel for saying it.
00:10:26.260
You can't say anything on this set anymore. That also appears in Jenny Slate's deposition.
00:10:33.620
Jenny Slate also repeats this. And she said that something that Brandon Sklenart told her.
00:10:41.040
Now Blake is asking about it. And she's saying, do you remember that? Brandon says,
00:10:46.300
I do vaguely remember that. But then he says, I don't even remember if he told me.
00:10:52.440
So what does that mean? I do vaguely remember that. And then I don't even remember if he told me.
00:10:57.340
What is it? You do remember if someone tells you that because you have repeated that to someone else
00:11:03.080
or maybe you didn't. Maybe Jenny Slate made it up. Maybe Blake Lively made it up.
00:11:08.220
Or maybe he didn't say that at all. Who knows? And then Blake says,
00:11:12.440
he was always trying to rope everyone into his messiness. I mean, it's so interesting how she's
00:11:18.140
accusing him of everything that she's doing all the time. And then Brandon says, I'm just baffled by
00:11:23.440
his lack of foresight, especially given his TED talks and podcasts and books. Blake says, I mean,
00:11:29.480
they all make perfect sense. He's running from something gnarly and hiding in all that.
00:11:33.760
And Brandon says, it does make perfect sense. Some Tom Ridley shit. And that's the end of that
00:11:40.120
conversation. Then we've now learned that Blake Lively was the one who obviously told all the
00:11:46.420
cast members to unfollow Justin on Instagram. And Colleen Hoover is admitting that in her deposition
00:11:53.520
that Blake Lively asked her to do that. And there's been a lot of conflicting stories here
00:11:58.620
of what happened on the premiere and also what happened at Book Bonanza. As I spoke about a few
00:12:05.200
days ago, Isabella Ferrer told the story that Colleen Hoover was the one that had uninvited Justin.
00:12:14.300
And Colleen Hoover denies that. She said she never uninvited Justin. So the same thing goes for the
00:12:21.000
premiere. Everyone is just blaming everyone else and no one owns up to things. But here is a text
00:12:26.720
message from Danny Greenberg, who is or used to be Justin Baldoni's agent over at WME. So this is a
00:12:33.940
group message, actually. It's from Danny to Warren and also Patrick Whitesell over at WME. And Danny
00:12:43.680
is desperate. He's saying that Patrick, Warren too, spoke with Josh Greenstein. Need your help with
00:12:49.900
Blake, as we discussed regarding the premiere. Up until a couple of weeks ago, we were seemingly good
00:12:55.500
on the premiere. Now that Justin took a shot at the coffee table book and his documentary, there were
00:13:00.420
some projects there that he ended up not doing. Blake has flipped and is pushing Sony that Justin
00:13:06.360
should not go to the premiere. She has the author now taking that position and threatening not to go
00:13:14.840
if he goes. Blake is also ring leading this with the other actors too. She's been brilliantly
00:13:21.580
choreographing this for a while. It's brutal and it's also bad for the movie. Her and all involved,
00:13:29.320
Josh Greenstein may reach out to you. We need your help powering her down. And then he's saying,
00:13:35.500
I have more. Can't discuss tomorrow. So Blake also pushed Colleen Hoover to say that she wouldn't
00:13:42.480
attend the premiere if Justin came to the premiere. In Colleen Hoover's deposition, she's asked a lot
00:13:48.220
about Justin and why she didn't like him. And she said that Blake told her so many things about him.
00:13:54.480
And she's admitting that she didn't have any of these experiences herself. It is all, it's all been
00:14:00.680
fed to her by Blake. We know that they had some creative issues there, but I don't know if that
00:14:06.880
happened before or after Blake started smearing Justin to her. But it's so interesting to see how
00:14:14.080
these stories keeps changing and how everyone is blaming each other here. And I also wanted to share
00:14:19.920
another text message that Blake sent to a friend. This friend is called Louis. I don't know who this
00:14:25.720
person is. Let me know if you know who this is. So she's saying here to this friend, he's a bag of hot
00:14:32.700
gasp, but he still made me feel bad and very upset. Even though I know he's a clown, it still hurts.
00:14:39.340
So thank you for circling your wagons around me. I'll send you his Instagram. He is so cringe. He got
00:14:46.680
the rights to this massive book. He cast himself to star and direct. I chose to bet on him. And I also
00:14:52.960
own a huge piece of the movie. So I'm having to bet on myself. But yikes, that gave me a crisis of
00:15:00.280
confidence. I had a three hour meeting with him today. He got it loud and clear, but still being
00:15:05.840
a woman in this industry. And then she's sending a friend Justin's Instagram. And she's saying for
00:15:11.700
your cringe pleasure. And Louis, this person is saying, Oh my God, I'm not, I cannot watch him.
00:15:20.400
He is a liar and fake and he's full of shit. So full of shit. Okay, I'm done. You will be the reason
00:15:26.720
this film gets made and works, not him. It's a movie, not a soundbite. And he will quickly realize
00:15:32.760
he will need you tremendously to take him through this. Just wait. He will have this meltdown because
00:15:38.420
he's going to realize he isn't all that. And he will have to rely on you. And when that happens,
00:15:45.160
please, dear God, gloat, gloat, gloat. What does this person know about? She doesn't even know who he
00:15:50.740
is at this point. This is so funny when friends are being supportive and she's just trashing a person
00:15:55.400
she knows nothing about. She just looked at his Instagram. And then Blake says,
00:15:59.560
he had a bit of a meltdown when I told him. So this is in April of 2023. So this is after that
00:16:07.280
meeting. And then she's sharing this text that she apparently sent to Justin that she also told
00:16:12.800
Matt Damon about. And she's saying that she sent, I told him this today. I need nothing from you on this
00:16:18.920
film as an actor or director. I'm good. I've got me. I only need one thing from you not to make me feel
00:16:23.820
like shit. I don't even need you to make me feel confident. I've got that. I only need the bare
00:16:28.400
minimum from you just to make, just don't make me feel like shit. That's your only job. I've got the
00:16:34.200
rest. Then she says he audibly sobbed. It was the performance of a lifetime dot, dot, dot, original
00:16:42.780
movie. So she told him that he made her feel like shit and he started crying. And then she's making fun
00:16:50.020
of that and saying that it was a performance. Anyways, Louise, then her friend says, I wish I'd
00:16:56.160
been in the room. Yes, yes, yes. He has no idea what is getting ready to hit him. And I bet the wife
00:17:02.780
is dealing with a totally different person than he professes to be on Instagram. Me think you have a
00:17:08.920
bit of a narcissist on your hands, but I think you've got it covered. Again, please, please, please
00:17:14.400
gloat when it happens. Blake says, do you know how happy that would make me feel if you were in the room?
00:17:20.020
The man is terrified of women. She's saying that Justin is terrified of women here. That's so
00:17:25.180
interesting because she's claiming that he has aged her and was horrible to all the women on set. But
00:17:31.700
now she's saying that he's terrified of women. Interesting. His wife, my God, she continues, I keep
00:17:37.040
imagining that I'm going to have to ask her to blink twice if she needs to be extracted. I will gloat.
00:17:42.880
Thank you for reminding me that we have permission to do so. I'll share any good ones with you. And yes,
00:17:49.440
you called it narcissist beyond. I'm not a unicorn, as has often been said, dear God.
00:17:56.980
I wonder if she's gloating right now. And we have to talk about this text message between
00:18:02.720
Taryn Fisher, who's also an author and really good friend of Colleen Hoover and Colleen Hoover
00:18:08.600
and Blake Lively. This explains a lot. So Terry here is saying, I wish one of my best friends would
00:18:16.060
send me Justin's proposal video. So they're obviously slandering him here and making fun of his
00:18:23.000
engagement or proposal videos, something that he posted on YouTube that these women obviously think
00:18:29.040
were cheesy or cringe or whatever. And Colleen Hoover says, I wish you'd learn how to Google.
00:18:34.420
And then she's Googling it and sending it to her friends. And then Colleen says,
00:18:40.680
this video is going to be mine and Blake's inspiration for It Starts With Us.
00:18:47.800
So they're already talking about this. This is on June 19th of 2024. So they're talking about
00:18:56.940
the sequel, Blake and Colleen. As you know, Justin Baldoni owns the sequel. So it's not Blake and
00:19:05.880
Colleen's to take, but they're already discussing that here. So I'm sure that they had other
00:19:12.600
conversations about how Blake would be a part of the sequel and how she probably would direct that
00:19:18.580
one. That's actually something Justin said in interviews as well, because I think like he had it.
00:19:23.800
But if I were him, I would never sell the rights to the sequel. Then Colleen laughs at her own
00:19:29.640
message. That's interesting. Would you laugh about your own comments? And Taryn says, he's a sociopath
00:19:37.420
talking about Justin. And Blake says, actually, and a narcissist. It's funny how Blake keeps describing
00:19:44.740
herself through describing how Justin Baldoni is. She is definitely a narcissist and a sociopath.
00:19:51.740
And especially considering all these backlash that Blake Lively got, she sued someone else for
00:19:57.420
that. For what she said and for her own actions, she sued someone else because she can't deal with
00:20:02.440
the fact that people don't like her and that she's not popular. And she's calling someone else a
00:20:06.960
narcissist. I find it amazing. Okay. And I want to share one more email with you guys, because I find
00:20:11.960
all this so fascinating. So this is Blake Lively sending an email to Sarah Rule. So Blake is supposed to,
00:20:19.600
or was supposed to direct, this was supposed to be her directorial debut. It's for a movie called
00:20:25.620
Seconds. And she's sending this email to Sarah Rule. I don't know exactly what her role is here.
00:20:37.380
I'm so sorry. I've been under it since April, really, Blake says.
00:20:41.580
I was filming one movie when the studio took the film from the director of the movie I was in,
00:20:47.020
in post on, and asked me to take over. So I've been re-editing the entire film.
00:20:55.720
I mean, yes, she's saying that Sony took Justin off the movie and asked her to take over. It's crazy.
00:21:35.480
So yes, Blake Lively obviously lied to this person and said that Sony took the movie from
00:21:47.840
Justin Baldoni and asked her to take over. Anyways, I wanted to end this episode on a text
00:21:54.880
message that Jamie Heath sent to someone. Jamie Heath is Justin Baldoni's partner. And he was
00:22:00.900

So he's saying here, I'm just going to say this and then go to bed. You were not able to control
00:22:14.520
Blake. I was not able to control Blake. Alex has not been able to control Blake. Ange has not
00:22:20.900
controlled Blake. Todd is not able to control Blake. Her lawyer doesn't control Blake. Her manager
00:22:26.580
doesn't control her. Agent doesn't control Blake. Nobody can control what you cannot control. We stop
00:22:33.260
pointing fingers at everyone else who cannot control the very person that we and no one else
00:22:38.740
can control. We are all in bed with the effing monster and we are all trying to deal with the
00:22:44.560
monster. This is not because they don't have balls. If that was the case, you didn't have balls. If that's the
00:22:50.520
case, I didn't have balls. It's not as simple as having balls. We are dealing with a monster and
00:22:56.320
everyone is trying to navigate it. Yeah, I think that really sums it up. Anyways, thank you so much
00:23:03.000
