00:01:00.000 I mean, the pettiness of this is just unbelievable.

00:01:07.980 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.

00:01:09.820 I'm Tashdi Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on the illusion.

00:01:16.480 So I hope everyone had a great Oscar weekend if you were watching and if you were not watching.

00:01:21.900 I learned this weekend that my horrific Blake Lively interview was the inspiration behind a scene in an Oscar winner this year.

00:01:32.760 I'll tell you all about it.

00:01:34.200 Also, Paul Feig was at the red carpet yesterday at the Oscars and he was asked about Blake Lively.

00:01:40.440 Oh my God, this is just so cringe.

00:01:43.160 And Ryan Reynolds keep shading Justin Baldoni.

00:01:46.980 I was shocked when one of you guys sent me this recording.

00:01:51.900 from last week. I mean, the pettiness of this is just unbelievable. Also, we have to talk about

00:01:59.500 this new explosive recording that's been everywhere. What does this really mean for Blake Lively? Can

00:02:07.660 she use this for her advantage or is it actually going to work against her? And the New York Times

00:02:15.660 just filed another opposition against the wayfair parties. This is so messy. Let's get into it.

00:02:24.200 Okay, so I have to tell my funny story first here because I was so excited when this guy came up to

00:02:30.400 me on Friday at a party for the Norwegian movie Sentimental Value who won Best International Film

00:02:38.020 yesterday at the Oscars. And this guy came up to me at the party and he was like, hey, I just

00:02:43.740 wanted to tell you that I was inspired by your interview with Blake Lively when I prepared for

00:02:50.020 this part. So he is playing a reporter in this film and he's sitting down in front of Stella

00:02:58.080 Skarsgård and Elle Fanning and they're creating this press junket moment and he was supposed to

00:03:05.800 make it really awkward and he did and he was basically kicked out of the interview by Stella

00:03:11.640 Skarsgård. I can't show the clip on my channel because I don't have the rights to do it but I

00:03:15.980 thought it was so hilarious when he said that that's what inspired him. So in that sense my

00:03:22.560 little bump interview was part of the Oscars yesterday and it actually was part of this movie

00:03:28.560 who won best international movie. Anyways I thought that was really funny so I had to mention it.

00:03:34.520 Also at the Oscars party yesterday was Paul Feig, the director from Another Simple Favor and A Simple Favor.

00:03:43.040 The only person, I think, really, that's gone out of their way to defend Blake Lively in the public eye.

00:03:50.700 And he is still standing up for her.

00:03:54.040 He was asked at the red carpet yesterday, kudos to this reporter who actually asked about this.

00:04:00.160 She was asking, how is your good friend Blake Lively doing?

00:04:03.440 Blake is great she's great she's just you know soldiering on and you know she's you know she's

00:04:09.380 a she's such a great mom and that's such the biggest part of her life that she just continues

00:04:14.520 to be wonderful and her kids are great and she has a happy marriage and I love her yes Paul Feig

00:04:20.380 is still standing by his really close friend Blake Lively I don't understand how it's possible to be

00:04:26.400 doing great if she being in the situation she's in right now and also her marriage is doing great

00:04:33.100 he had to add that I wonder why he had to add that their marriage is doing great did he speak

00:04:38.680 to them lately and Blake was like hey uh Paul our marriage by the way is doing really great

00:04:44.700 Ryan is over in the UK basically all the time and I'm here by myself having to go to settlement

00:04:51.200 meetings and everything by myself but we're doing really great anyways let's get into this recording

00:04:57.580 so thank you so much Katie for sending me this recording I was shocked when I heard this this

00:05:02.920 just says everything about Ryan Reynolds and how he feels right now. So this was, I think, on Sky

00:05:09.900 Sports when Ryan Reynolds and his partner, Rob Mack, were basically live commenting on one of

00:05:18.560 the soccer matches for their team. They are co-owners in Rexham, the soccer team, and they

00:05:25.340 were on the air together commenting on soccer. But then Ryan could not help himself, but to get

00:05:32.540 another dig at Justin Baldoni in the middle of this soccer match. Just listen to this.

00:06:02.540 Oh, yes. It's like a movie where everyone collaborates. And who wants a vanity credit

00:06:08.480 like a film buy? It is so obvious that this is a dig at Baldoni. There are so many documents,

00:06:17.060 so many text messages and emails where Blake Lively keeps complaining about Justin Baldoni

00:06:22.960 that he wants a film buy on the poster of this movie. And she's saying, who does that? It's

00:06:30.080 just a vanity credit and no real director want to take all this credit for themselves yeah Blake

00:06:36.280 was bitching about this to a lot of people and the fact that Ryan is mentioning it here just says to

00:06:43.420 me that he really needs to confirm to himself that what they did was right because I think now

00:06:51.240 when he knows everything is out there and it's so obvious how people have reacted to their actions

00:06:58.140 he's trying to justify it and he's trying to justify it for himself just by saying when you

00:07:04.600 make a movie it's a team effort everyone's involved especially considering that him and

00:07:11.360 his wife was hijacking this movie from Justin Baldoni and he's saying that it is a team effort

00:07:17.740 yes I found this so telling of where Ryan is standing right now is he starting to have second

00:07:24.120 thoughts that maybe what we did wasn't smart. I don't think he feels bad about it but I feel like

00:07:29.640 maybe he thinks now that he sees the public reaction to his actions and to Blake's actions

00:07:35.240 and he's starting to understand the consequences for him and that's why he needs to justify this.

00:07:42.080 Very interesting. Thank you so much for sending me that Katie. Anyways let's talk about this

00:07:46.560 explosive recording that Blake Lively will probably try to use in her favor which I don't

00:07:53.980 think is going to work. But before we get into that I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video

00:08:00.220 TesterUp. Okay so this is for everyone who wants to make a little extra cash on the side. If you're

00:08:05.520 like me and you spend a lot of time scrolling on your phone or playing games this is actually an

00:08:11.900 interesting way to turn that extra time into money. TesterUp is an app that actually pays you

00:08:18.400 to test apps and games. You just download the games through the TesterUp app, complete simple

00:08:24.440 tasks while you're playing, and the rewards are added directly to your balance. I tried it and

00:08:31.460 it's really simple. You just pick a game you like and then just start playing. Some of the offers

00:08:37.360 can get up to $250 per app depending on how far you get in the game. Everything is tracked inside

00:08:44.220 the app so you can always see how much you've earned. They already have over 25 million users

00:08:50.780 and very good trust pilot reviews which is always reassuring. Once your balance have reached $55

00:08:56.520 voila you can withdraw your money. So if you're already spending time on your phone anyways why

00:09:03.400 not get paid while doing it? You can download Tester Up for free using the link in my description

00:09:09.940 or scan this QR code. Thanks again to Tester Up for sponsoring this video. Okay, so this audio was

00:09:18.880 leaked to The Hollywood Reporter by Amanda Ghost's attorney. Amanda Ghost is a producer on Rebel

00:09:27.660 Wilson's film. Rebel Wilson as you know is an actress and she's been involved in a lawsuit 1.00

00:09:33.280 against her producer for and the producer is accusing her of smearing her and creating a

00:09:41.020 website to smear her. Why this is important in Blake Lively's case is because the same team

00:09:48.220 is involved in the Rebel Wilson case as is in the Blake Lively case. Rebel Wilson hired Melissa

00:09:56.400 Nathan, the same crisis manager as Justin Baldoni did, and also Jed Wallace, that hired gun who

00:10:05.740 Blake Lively thinks is the brain behind this untraceable smear campaign. And here's an

00:10:12.460 interesting twist. Amanda Ghost, the producer who is suing Rebel Wilson for retaliation or for the 0.99

00:10:19.620 smear campaign. She is represented by Camilla Vasquez, who also represented Johnny Depp.

00:10:28.020 And Johnny Depp was accused by Amber Heard of using bots to smear her. And now Camilla Vasquez

00:10:37.340 is kind of on the other side here, accusing Melissa Nathan, who she worked with, with Johnny

00:10:44.320 depp of smearing the client she is now representing anyways super confusing stuff here but anyways

00:10:51.860 this recording was leaked to the hollywood reporter and it isn't great for jet wallace let's put it

00:10:59.540 that way it says here that leaked audio reveals rebel wilson's pr team plotted to smear movie

00:11:04.960 producer amid an escalating legal feud between wilson and the film producer amanda ghost more 0.87

00:11:10.700 evidence is a merging of PR firm in the agency group TAG, Melissa and Nathan's agency's connection

00:11:18.140 to anonymous attack websites. At one point in the private conversation, Jed Wallace references the

00:11:25.680 involvement of Hollywood power lawyer Brian Friedman. Okay, so this is an audio message or a

00:11:32.500 voice memo that Jed Wallace sent to someone. I'm not sure who he sent it to, but they're talking

00:11:39.940 about creating a smear website to smear amanda ghost or that's what it seems like i will play

00:11:47.420 it for you now oh also um talked about rebel like here's the here's the the deal with rebel and i

00:11:54.440 think you me and um and brian and maybe katie since she'll write this thing what we have to do

00:12:04.360 is we the biggest piece here is that we have to connect amanda ghost with vlatnik and i i was just

00:12:13.480 like so basically what we need to do is we need to create a path where we expose amanda ghost

00:12:20.740 amanda ghost is like the new heidi fleiss like she pat she masquerades as a the reason why she 1.00

00:12:25.680 sucks so bad at music is because she's actually getting hooked for vlatnik right and that's what 0.87

00:12:32.640 she does she's a she's a she's an absolute madam and that's why she's so lethal blah blah blah but 1.00

00:12:37.760 that's he's right like we can't just do like oh she's a bitch she sucks it's like it's got to be 1.00

00:12:43.300 really really heavy and connected to something that heavy okay obviously that does not sound 0.99

00:12:50.180 good i think jed wallace has a lot of explaining to do in that case in the rebel wilson case

00:12:57.500 That being said, it's also important if this information has any truth to it,

00:13:04.220 or if they actually made it up.

00:13:07.220 If they wanted to make her look like this kind of madam, 1.00

00:13:10.940 if that is not true at all, and they have no evidence to believe that there was any truth to that,

00:13:18.580 that is really bad for Jed Wallace.

00:13:20.980 Like I said, Blake Lively's team will definitely try to use this in their favor.

00:13:26.800 they of course want to add this to their evidence and I'm sure they're going to beg the judge to be

00:13:32.940 able to use this in court in front of a jury to say hey look what they did here to this producer

00:13:39.720 Amanda Ghost of course they did the same thing to me it seems like Tag and Jed Wallace sometimes do

00:13:47.240 unethical things and I think this might be an example of that but did they do anything like

00:13:55.340 this for Justin Baldoni? Absolutely not. There are no evidence of this kind in Blake Lively's

00:14:04.680 findings. And remember, she's accusing them of an untraceable smear campaign. If anything, 0.98

00:14:13.180 this is very traceable. They have voice memos talking about this, voice memos that they didn't

00:14:21.100 even delete. So how can Blake explain that in her case which happened around the same time

00:14:28.400 because this all went on I think about a month before the It Ends With Us or Blake Lively

00:14:35.580 alleged smear campaign started according to her. This went on in July of 2024 and the smear

00:14:43.420 campaign against Blake happened in August. So it's not like they had a lot of new tools to use

00:14:50.820 and then, oh, let's make Blake Lively's smear campaign untraceable.

00:14:55.040 But with Rebel Wilson, we'll just make it very obvious what we did.

00:14:58.980 So I think for one, that's going to really work against Blake Lively's narrative

00:15:03.940 of this untraceable smear campaign.

00:15:06.640 And also, Blake hasn't been able to point to one single article

00:15:11.340 that wrote something untrue about her and trace it to this team.

00:15:16.920 There was no smear website created for Blake Lively or about Blake Lively.

00:15:25.460 Nothing.

00:15:26.580 And we've seen so many text messages, emails, voice memos,

00:15:31.620 whatever communication documents from the Wayfair parties.

00:15:35.540 And there's not one single place that they mention that they want Blake Lively to look bad.

00:15:42.320 So although this is probably pretty bad for Jed Wallace,

00:15:46.080 and Melissa Nathan, it doesn't prove anything in the case against Justin Baldoni and the

00:15:52.780 Wayfair parties.

00:15:53.720 There's also some interesting correspondence between Brian Friedman, Justin Baldoni's

00:15:58.680 attorney, and Gary Baum, who wrote that article.

00:16:03.300 I'll get more into that later this week.

00:16:05.860 It's obvious that the two of them have a feud going on, and that also makes me believe

00:16:11.080 that Gary Baum has an agenda here by writing this article the way he's writing it. Anyway it should

00:16:17.440 be interesting to see how Blake Lively's team is going to twist this around to try to make this

00:16:22.620 favorable for them while I think it's actually doing the opposite. Okay so I have to mention

00:16:28.740 this story before I get into the New York Times response to the Wayfair parties. So Harper's

00:16:34.340 Barsar did this story. Harper's Bizarre, I would say. So they did this story saying why Blake

00:16:41.000 Lively and Ryan Reynolds skipped the 2026 Oscars. I think when you skip a party, that means that you

00:16:47.800 were invited to begin with, but then you turned it down. That's when you skip going somewhere.

00:16:53.720 Otherwise, I could say, well, I skipped going to the Oscars this year. People would then assume

00:16:58.620 that I was invited to begin with, which is not the case with Blake and Ryan. Why would they be

00:17:04.320 invited to the Oscars. None of them have ever been nominated for anything for the Oscars. So why

00:17:10.540 would they be on anyone's list? Well, Harper's Bazaar think that they should have for some reason

00:17:15.560 or maybe they just did this story to get some clicks. They're saying here that they kept

00:17:21.120 talking about Blake and Ryan, kept a low profile this award season. They always keep a low profile

00:17:28.020 during award season because they're never nominated for anything. Then they continue this article

00:17:32.500 saying, it came as no surprise that Blake and Ryan were missing from tonight's Academy Awards.

00:17:38.360 The couple have been keeping a fairly low profile in the lead-up to Lively's trial against Justin Baldoni,

00:17:44.060 and the 2026 Oscars were certainly no exception.

00:17:47.820 For the second year in a row, they skipped the entirety of the awards season

00:17:52.500 and have instead spent the past several months attending court-mandated settlement hearings in New York City.

00:17:58.440 for the second year in a row they skipped the entirety of the award season i haven't seen them

00:18:04.780 around in any award season parties or events so i don't know what this article is talking about at

00:18:10.940 all last year reynolds deadpool and wolverine film was notably absent from oscar nominations

00:18:16.000 was that very notable should deadpool wolverine be nominated for an oscar this is so absurd um

00:18:22.720 And once again, neither Lively nor Reynolds received a nod at tonight's events.

00:18:27.980 Why would they receive a nod?

00:18:29.440 The only reason for them to receive a nod at the Oscar would be if someone was mocking them.

00:18:34.560 Unlike other awards someone is, namely the Golden Globes,

00:18:37.340 the Lovebirds have yet to attend the biggest night in film together.

00:18:41.540 Reynolds walked the red carpet solo in 2010 before presenting the blind side with the award for best picture.

00:18:47.680 So this article says they've never been to the Oscars before.

00:18:52.360 none of them except for ryan when he represented this award then but then at the same time they're

00:18:58.200 claiming that they were notably absent i mean it's so dumb anyways let's get to this new york

00:19:04.200 times response so as you know they're asking the wayfair parties to pay their legal fees because

00:19:10.080 they're because the wayfair parties lawsuit against the new york times was dismissed this

00:19:15.260 happened back in may or june and new york times says hey we want you to pay us our legal fees

00:19:20.580 which are $181,622.

00:19:24.960 That's how much it costs when someone sues you, by the way.

00:19:27.640 It's outrageous.

00:19:28.800 But anyways, the Wayfair Party said to the judge last week that,

00:19:33.120 hey, don't dismiss New York Times completely

00:19:35.500 and don't rule on those legal fees

00:19:38.340 before we know what's going to happen to our case in the end

00:19:42.700 because we are intending to appeal.

00:19:47.620 We are planning our appeal.

00:19:49.800 So then if the new judges over at Second Circuit says, hey, I think this lawsuit should survive, then we have to drag them back into it again. 0.63

00:19:58.140 So what's the point? Just leave them hanging. It's better.

00:20:01.840 And now the New York Times is saying to the judge, hey, don't listen to them.

00:20:06.100 We should have the money now. You should rule on this.

00:20:09.040 And they're basically pointing out that anti-slap laws exist specifically to stop lawsuits that drag out litigation to intimidate journalists.

00:20:18.340 The New York Times argues that granting a stay would undermine the purpose.

00:20:23.180 So that's one of the reasons why they want this to happen fast.

00:20:26.640 So the journalists involved in writing this hit piece on Justin Baldoni

00:20:31.260 shouldn't have to stress about this anymore.

00:20:33.920 I'm under the impression that if you sue a media outlet,

00:20:37.320 it's really, really hard to win that.

00:20:39.860 Yeah, so let's see how the judge is going to deal with this.

00:20:43.420 He has so many things to rule on.

00:20:45.460 He also has to rule on Blake Lively's legal fees that she asked for

00:20:49.620 and Leslie Sloan's legal fees that she asked for. 1.00

00:20:53.100 And, of course, the summary judgment and the judgment on the pleadings as well.

00:20:57.680 There's so many things we're waiting for in this case.

00:21:00.380 So, yeah, a lot of exciting things are about to happen.

00:21:02.800 Anyways, at the end, I just wanted to mention this.

00:21:05.440 A friend of mine sent it to me.

00:21:06.860 It's a poll on TMZ and it says stars and scars.

00:21:11.700 You be the judge.

00:21:12.900 and TMZ asked the public to vote on these different things.

00:21:17.740 And one of the things that they asked the public to vote on

00:21:20.260 was what they think about Hollywood publicists.

00:21:23.140 And there were over 55,000 votes on this.

00:21:27.880 And you could either choose if Hollywood publicists

00:21:31.880 was an upstanding profession or thugs.

00:21:35.940 Nothing in between here.

00:21:37.660 But anyways, it was quite interesting to see that

00:21:40.660 only 9% of people who voted amongst these 55,000 thought that being a Hollywood publicist is an

00:21:50.120 upstanding profession, while 91% thought that they were thugs. I think that number would have

00:21:57.480 been very different if this was asked before this lawsuit between Blake Wively and Justin

00:22:03.240 Baldoni. I had a publicist on here a few weeks ago who talked about this, how this lawsuit has

00:22:09.440 really ruined the reputation of all publicists and she was like we're not all like that so this

00:22:15.700 is really sad to see how this case has ruined the reputation of all publicists all right that's it

00:22:23.320 for me guys thank you so much for watching and thanks for being so supportive and for sending

00:22:27.400 me so many tips and also thanks for watching my episode with Magnus yesterday if you missed that
