Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - BLAKE'S TEAM IN CRISIS !!!

00:00:00.000 Yeah, Lively might have to file another lawsuit in California.

00:00:08.640 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Kersti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice

00:00:13.720 of reason in a town built on delusion. This is my hardworking executive producer who's taking his

00:00:19.520 job really, really seriously. Anyways, is Blake Lively going to file a new lawsuit to get these

00:00:27.240 attorney's fees. It looks like that might be her only option at this point, because now she put

00:00:34.220 the judge in a position that he has to pretend that she already went to trial and won so she

00:00:40.920 could get all these attorney's fees and damages that she's asking for. And the judge is not happy

00:00:46.680 with that. Blake also wants to remind everyone that she was fat shamed. Her new Instagram post

00:00:53.580 says it all also big news Hugh and Ryan are back from their trip to Australia where they were

00:01:01.080 drinking from a shoe and now Ryan posted a photo of the two of them plus his other BFF Sean Levy

00:01:07.920 from the Yankee Stadium this time he actually left the comments open because he was collaborating

00:01:13.400 with Sean Levy on the post he wasn't collaborating with Hugh Jackman by the way interesting I wonder

00:01:19.900 why let's talk about it also the new york post is trashing blake lively in this new opinion

00:01:26.040 they're referring to victoria burke who i had on my channel yesterday she is the architect and

00:01:32.300 founder of this me too law which blake is now abusing for pr purposes i was really grateful

00:01:38.500 that victoria came on my channel yesterday and by the way i did have like a premiere of that video

00:01:43.240 something i've never done before so i was a little confused of what was happening when i saw the chat

00:01:48.520 and people were in the chat and someone was like oh is there a moderator here and I'm like whoa I

00:01:53.220 didn't know what was happening so I'm sorry about that next time I do a premiere I will know what to

00:01:58.260 do and I will also have a moderator so that there will be no inappropriate language in that chat

00:02:04.520 anyways I was so happy to see so many people tuned in to hear what Victoria had to say

00:02:08.800 because she did clear up a lot of things as you know at first she supported the judge decision

00:02:15.400 to dismiss Justin Baldoni's lawsuit and I was asking her why she changed her mind and she gave

00:02:21.460 me a really good answer for that. We have to remember that someone like Victoria, her mission

00:02:26.180 is to get this bill into as many states as possible to protect survivors and to protect victims.

00:02:33.540 This has obviously shown her that the bill, the way it exists now, is flawed because it can be

00:02:40.720 abused by powerful people like Blake Lively but her intentions were always good and I think it's

00:02:47.420 important to put that out there she wasn't educated enough on this case but I did ask her about Justin

00:02:52.580 Boldoni and she said she hadn't heard anyone say anything bad about him and I feel like now where

00:02:58.220 when she's experienced how Blake Lively takes authorship over everything including her law

00:03:04.940 she decided to come out and talk about it and I think that is super important and I'm so proud

00:03:10.260 of her for doing that. Anyways if you missed that you should go watch it but I just wanted to say

00:03:14.500 mention a few of the things that she said that really caught my attention. One of the things

00:03:18.200 being that she asked Blake Lively is she would be willing to record a short video of herself

00:03:23.740 to talk about this bill and to promote this Me Too bill and Blake Lively declined and her team

00:03:32.400 got back to Victoria saying that it wasn't a good fit for them. Then she had the meeting with Blake

00:03:39.140 and Ryan and Blake's mom and their four children present, by the way. About a year ago, this was

00:03:46.900 before Justin Baldoni's lawsuit was dismissed, and Victoria could tell us that everyone was

00:03:52.000 really, really nice to her. Surprise, surprise. I wouldn't expect anything else from that group

00:03:57.680 of people. But she also mentioned that Ryan Reynolds just had a sandwich and then he left

00:04:02.020 because he was flying out to LA. She also said that her friends or people had warned her about

00:04:07.460 Blake beforehand which I found interesting and now we got another confirmation of how Ezra Hudson

00:04:13.160 Blake's main attorney has been working behind the scenes to manipulate the law and to manipulate

00:04:20.180 all these women organizations and if you watch the interview you could see that Victoria didn't

00:04:25.080 have many nice things to say about Ezra Hudson they have now basically hijacked her law without

00:04:31.140 her permission. And they're taking it all over the US so that Blake Lively can dress herself

00:04:38.040 with this noble mission so that she can get her reputation back. As you know, the only reason

00:04:43.800 Blake is doing this is to get popular again. Oscar is making little sounds back here. He's

00:04:48.720 dreaming. It's so cute. Anyways, she also said that Ezra Hudson wanted to rewrite the bill

00:04:54.100 so that also attorneys could be protected by that law. Isn't that interesting? And as she said,

00:05:01.140 attorneys are always covered by their insurance companies but Ezra wasn't too sure so she wanted

00:05:06.920 to rewrite the law for survivors to protect herself so yeah not only did Blake steal the

00:05:13.320 movie it ends with us she also stole this bill from Victoria and now she has no idea what they're

00:05:20.080 up to what they're doing with this law they just took it for her from her and ran with it and I

00:05:25.240 asked her if she's worried that they're going to go after her because you know how they are they

00:05:29.700 went after me they went after all these journalists and content creators who spoke about this lawsuit

00:05:34.560 and i wouldn't be surprised if they tried to punish victoria somehow and victoria said that

00:05:40.720 she has all the receipts good for her it's so baffling to me to see how many women especially

00:05:47.240 that blake has hurt because she wanted to save her own reputation including now victoria burke

00:05:54.920 including the wives of Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath,

00:05:59.360 including the publicist Jennifer Abel,

00:06:02.020 including Melissa Nathan, the crisis manager,

00:06:05.320 including the women who worked for Sony,

00:06:08.020 including Jenny Slate, including Isabella Ferrer.

00:06:11.700 The list goes on and on and on

00:06:14.240 on how many people and how many women Blake has harmed.

00:06:19.220 And now she's willing to throw this entire bill under the bus

00:06:23.260 so she can get popular again.

00:06:25.060 Another interesting point that someone mentioned on Reddit

00:06:27.520 after watching the interview,

00:06:29.340 it was quite funny how Blake had mentioned to Victoria

00:06:32.380 that her mom had experienced harassment or whatever at work,

00:06:37.600 this experience that she also talked about at the Time 100 event,

00:06:42.040 but Blake didn't share any of her own experiences

00:06:44.680 from the set of It Ends With Us

00:06:46.560 when she was treated so horrifically by Justin Baldoni.

00:06:50.060 I think that says everything.

00:06:51.480 Yeah, I can't believe what Blake's attorneys have gotten away with so far.

00:06:56.940 These people are just ruthless crooks.

00:06:59.940 Anyways, the New York Post is reporting today that

00:07:03.860 I think she's angered actual victims for a really, really long time.

00:07:15.960 I have received so many heartbreaking emails and DMs from people who have experienced real trauma in their lives, and they're furious with Blake Wiley.

00:07:24.760 But now we have a face, a public face as well, which is Victoria Burke.

00:07:31.340 And this is an opinion, by the way, and it's written by Kirsten Fleming.

00:07:35.220 And she's saying here, despite settling her contentious legal battle with Justin Baldoni just hours before she dramatically ascended the stairs at the Met Gala last month,

00:07:44.760 with an army of minions to fluff her 13-foot Versace train for the cameras,

00:07:51.400 the actress is still battling over damages.

00:07:55.100 Also at stake, she's mentioning here,

00:07:57.720 the victimhood status that she so desperately craves.

00:08:02.200 And she'll happily lift other people's hard work to get it.

00:08:06.740 Then she's quoting a lot of the things that Victoria Burke said to Megyn Kelly.

00:08:10.360 She was also on the Megyn Kelly show,

00:08:11.960 and especially quoting her when she said,

00:08:13.820 I don't want my bill to be turned into the Met Gala.

00:08:16.500 And she's saying here at the end of the article,

00:08:18.380 now that more facts are out in the open,

00:08:20.920 Lively's intentions look more and more craven.

00:08:23.800 The star is on a mission to secure her victimhood status by hook or crook,

00:08:29.500 even if she has to step on real victims in the process.

00:08:33.760 I mean, when you think it can't get any worse,

00:08:37.540 she does something that makes it even worse.

00:08:40.700 I mean, seriously, she needs help.

00:08:42.520 anyways talking about PR guess what Blake posted on her Instagram story I'm sure you all remember

00:08:51.200 this guy Don Saladino the personal trainer that Blake worked with for years Ryan Reynolds worked

00:08:57.860 with him for years and then Blake suggested for Justin Baldoni that he should also work with her

00:09:02.980 personal trainer and then at one point Justin asked Don Saladino how much he think or how much

00:09:09.040 She thought that Blake would weigh in about two weeks

00:09:12.920 when he was supposed to lift her in a scene

00:09:15.180 and Justin had a back issue.

00:09:17.700 He wanted to make sure that he could lift her

00:09:19.880 and he also wanted to make sure that she was safe in this lift

00:09:23.780 so he wouldn't drop her, that she wouldn't get hurt.

00:09:26.600 And what does Don Saladino do?

00:09:28.980 He calls Blake Lively and says,

00:09:31.940 Justin Baldoni, fat shame dude,

00:09:33.860 you should tell your husband Ryan Reynolds.

00:09:35.880 And she did.

00:09:37.140 And then they had a meeting where Ryan yelled at Justin for about five hours

00:09:42.660 on how he could fat shame his wife and how horrific this all was.

00:09:47.140 And this, mind you, was before they even started shooting the movie.

00:09:50.720 Anyways, now Blake is pouring love at Don and his wife in this Instagram post

00:09:57.400 and also reminding us that Don doesn't fat shame people.

00:10:02.160 It's only Justin Baldoni who does that.

00:10:04.080 She's saying that Don and his wife helped push me through so many moments

00:10:08.560 when I felt something was impossible.

00:10:10.840 Isn't it crazy how she blamed all her own body insecurities on Justin?

00:10:14.840 And it's so funny to me how she accused him of fat shaming her.

00:10:17.880 And at the same time, she accused him of saying that she was sexy.

00:10:22.080 It's like, make up your mind.

00:10:23.720 Either you feel that you're fat shamed or you feel that you're being S-aged.

00:10:27.880 But both of those don't really work together, if you ask me.

00:10:31.420 It's interesting how Don didn't repost this on his story.

00:10:34.780 He does not want more backlash.

00:10:36.940 Of course, when it was known that he was the source of that fact-shaming claim,

00:10:41.500 he got a lot of heat on his social media.

00:10:43.920 And now Blake reminded everyone again what a snake this guy is.

00:10:48.800 And as I've said before, he removed all photos of Blake and Ryan from his Instagram.

00:10:53.600 He used to pin their photos to sell more classes and to sell more of his products,

00:10:58.580 but they're all gone from his Instagram now.

00:11:00.720 so I'm not sure if he appreciates this or not but here is the most important thing that Blake says

00:11:05.000 in this post she says his magic is bringing out consistency and never allowing shame in he uplifts

00:11:12.860 you especially in times where you lock where you lack motivation and or self-esteem that is a direct

00:11:20.800 dig adjustable only why is she we're using the word shame here yeah so this guy's lifting her up

00:11:26.780 because she's paying him obviously also, by the way.

00:11:30.420 And I'm sure that People Magazine is going to pick this up

00:11:34.680 or I mean write about it when they receive the press release

00:11:38.900 from Leslie Sloan, Blake's publicist,

00:11:41.360 so that they can do a story on how Blake's trainer

00:11:44.200 is making her confident and never shames her.

00:11:47.660 Yeah, and I bet you they're going to use shame in the headline.

00:11:50.600 Just wait and see.

00:11:51.760 I mean, she has a platform of 40 million followers,

00:11:55.000 which I think is more like 4 million followers, to be honest.

00:11:58.800 There's so many bots on her account.

00:12:00.640 But then she's using it to promote this guy who started this very unnecessary feud, by the way.

00:12:07.380 Why would he go and tell on Justin Baldoni?

00:12:10.520 There's supposed to be confidentiality with the people that you're training.

00:12:14.860 But if you have a celebrity friend, you wouldn't care about that at all, obviously,

00:12:18.540 because you think it's going to give you advantages of being in their pocket.

00:12:22.800 And here's the proof because Blake just promoted him on her Instagram.

00:12:27.540 But it's crazy to me that she's using her platform like this

00:12:30.900 when she's in the middle of this storm of this Me Too law

00:12:34.960 and asking for these attorney's fees.

00:12:37.220 And her attorney, Sigrid McCowley, was outside the courtroom the other day

00:12:41.840 saying that there will be so much more advocacy from Blake in the future.

00:12:45.260 And she's posting about this trainer and about a shop.

00:12:48.920 I mean, it would cost her so little to show just a tiny bit of support to real survivors.

00:12:55.380 Okay, so Ryan is back from Australia after drinking out of a shoe with Hugh Jackman.

00:13:01.540 But before we get into what they're up to, I want to thank the sponsor of this video, Momentus.

00:13:07.200 I've been really trying to stay healthy while traveling, but you know, lack of sleep, jet lag,

00:13:12.820 all of it really takes a toll on my digestive system and overall health.

00:13:17.140 And now I finally realized that it's really hard to get enough fiber through your food.

00:13:22.640 That's why I brought Momentous Plus with me to Spain.

00:13:26.320 And now this is a part of my daily routine here as well.

00:13:29.660 What I love about this is that it's not filled with a lot of unnecessary additives.

00:13:34.240 Fiber Plus combines three different types of fiber to support your gut health, digestion, recovery, and even help your body absorb nutrition better.

00:13:43.480 I definitely noticed that I feel less bloated and more balanced since adding this to my diet.

00:13:48.960 I always thought I was eating pretty healthy, but apparently 95% of people don't get enough fiber in their diet.

00:13:55.880 A major plus for me is that it actually tastes delicious.

00:13:59.140 It has this hint of cinnamon if you like cinnamon, or if you prefer no taste at all, that's also an option.

00:14:05.420 In LA, I always have a smoothie in the morning, so I would sprinkle it in my smoothie.

00:14:09.440 but here in Spain I use it as a topper on my yogurt and muesli in the morning. I really trust

00:14:15.480 Momentus because their products are clean, minimal and NSF certified for sport. That means they are

00:14:21.220 third-party tested for purity and quality. Support your gut health and overall performance with

00:14:26.880 Momentus Fiber Plus. And now you can get up to 35% off your first order at livemomentus.com

00:14:33.420 with code SHASHTI. My name, that's livemomentous.com, code SHASHTI. Yeah, Ryan and Hugh went to their

00:14:42.580 Yankee Stadium yesterday with their other friend, Sean Levy. Sean is also the director of Deadpool

00:14:47.980 versus Wolverine. And you know, he also called Justin Baldoni at one point to tell him how to

00:14:53.680 handle Blake. I wish we would have had that conversation. I think it was actually recorded,

00:14:59.280 but it was never filed on the docket so yeah it's still out there but the interesting part here is

00:15:05.800 that Ryan Reynolds collaborated with Sean Levy on this post and Yankee Stadium and some brand or

00:15:13.020 whatever but not with Hugh Jackman I am guessing that Hugh was told by his publicist like okay

00:15:19.720 you've got to hang out with Ryan because you're doing this business thing together and he has all

00:15:24.780 this stuff that he knows about you that he's threatening you to leak. But don't get tagged

00:15:30.220 in anything. Don't end up in the same comment section as Ryan because that is not good for

00:15:35.880 your image, Hugh. And he's like, okay. Because also yesterday when they posted the same video

00:15:41.600 from this event where they were drinking beer out of a shoe, they didn't collaborate on it.

00:15:46.580 They just posted the same content, both of them. And I think there is a reason for that. And now

00:15:52.640 I feel that they have a moderator working full-time deleting half of the messages on

00:15:59.120 Ryan Reynolds' post because there are like 250 comments at this time and half of them are kind

00:16:04.400 of positive. So something's really off. Let me know what you think. Anyways, this article was

00:16:09.880 very interesting in Puck. Puck is a Hollywood newsletter and they're always doing excellent

00:16:14.780 reporting and they published this article today. It says the Blake Lively Baldoni suit could be

00:16:20.120 headed for a do-over while lively elected to settle with it ends with us director her search

00:16:26.780 for attorney's fees and damages has vexed the judge overseeing the case will the solution be

00:16:32.620 a new suit in a new venue interesting i never even thought about that so she could basically

00:16:39.400 sue him in california state or in new york state i'm guessing and i would not be surprised if she

00:16:45.940 does. Because if the judge does not allow her to get any attorney's fees, what is she going to do?

00:16:52.100 How is she still going to claim victory? Is she going to claim victory because she hijacked

00:16:56.960 this bill and that was the whole meaning behind all of this? Or is she going to push this even

00:17:04.340 further because she needs to have some sort of win? The journalist here is saying that on Monday

00:17:10.420 at the hearing between the dueling camps representing Blake and Justin, one could almost

00:17:15.200 sympathize with Judge Lyman, he's been asked to resolve Lively's unusual post-settlement damages

00:17:21.500 claim with little precedent to guide him. No clear procedural roadmap, and perhaps most importantly,

00:17:28.360 no jury. The damages, the punitive damages, and the treble damages that Blake is asking for,

00:17:35.560 those decisions are usually always up to a jury to decide. As he's pointing out here,

00:17:40.620 it was Blake's choice not to go to trial.

00:17:43.600 And it says here that yet the statute presents a series of questions

00:17:47.480 that were never fully litigated talking about this bill.

00:17:50.860 Did Lively make her complaints in good faith?

00:17:53.800 Was Boldoni's lawsuit frivolous?

00:17:56.560 Who bears the burden of proving those points?

00:17:59.740 That's what they were discussing in court the other day.

00:18:02.400 Who has to prove this?

00:18:04.480 And it says here that Lively's lawyers argue that Lyman effectively

00:18:07.940 resolved most of these issues when he dismissed Baldoni's claims, leaving only the calculation

00:18:13.160 of damages. Baldoni's team counters that the record is too thin to support that conclusion

00:18:18.400 because the case never reached trial. As you know, the judge didn't say that Justin Baldoni's

00:18:25.460 lawsuit against Blake was frivolous or he was out of malice. He didn't say any of those things.

00:18:31.300 he dismissed most of his lawsuit due to due to technicalities he they were allowed to actually

00:18:38.880 go and amend his lawsuit and bring back those claims again but they decided not to do that

00:18:44.720 because they wanted to have the chance to appeal it later on and you can't do that if you amend it

00:18:49.540 first and he's saying here Lyman appears to be leaning in Boldoni's direction yes he's reserving

00:18:56.120 his judgments, but on Monday's Doctrine Heavy Hearing, he would peaceably flag constitutional

00:19:02.180 wrinkles. Notably, Lyman raised what he viewed as a possible Seventh Amendment problem. Sure,

00:19:09.240 he spends considerable time acknowledging California's interest in protecting harassment

00:19:13.540 complaints, but if Lively is seeking monetary damages, where does the constitutional right to

00:19:19.500 jury trial go? So yes, it is unconstitutional that there's no jury involved in a decision like this.

00:19:26.120 He's saying here, perhaps the most revealing moment came when Lyman floated another path.

00:19:31.060 Several times, he suggested that Lively could pursue relief under California Civil Code Section 47.1

00:19:37.800 as a standalone cause of action.

00:19:41.400 In other words, if she wants damages, she might need to file a new lawsuit in California

00:19:47.340 and prove her entitlement there.

00:19:51.220 And the journalist here is saying, if I had to guess, that's where we may be headed.

00:19:56.120 The question is whether Lively has any appetite for a sequel, or maybe if Ryan does.

00:20:03.400 Can you imagine if she files another lawsuit just for these fees?

00:20:08.680 And he's adding here, because he was obviously present at court on Monday,

00:20:12.100 he says, the dynamic between the parties at Monday's hearing is worth noting.

00:20:16.920 Often you'll see cordiality win out in these disputes,

00:20:20.680 but these two sides couldn't be farther from each other, literally.

00:20:24.960 even in the hallway before the hearing began they kept their distance the Baldoni camp seemed much

00:20:32.200 happier like it was a high school reunion I walked over to the lively side and there was extreme

00:20:38.720 iciness meanwhile the youtubers were their own gang yucking it up in the middle interesting

00:20:45.320 observation there it was so icy on Blake lively side I bet her attorneys are freaking out right

00:20:52.000 now because they have promised her so much and they can't keep their promise and now they convinced

00:20:57.040 her that this is a victory for her and the public and the media doesn't agree with it and i'm sure

00:21:02.140 ryan reynolds is making some really angry phone calls to them anyways i was listening to little
