00:00:00.000 Basically, he tossed out the entire case.
00:00:03.360 She has really nothing left to fight for now.
00:00:10.160 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.
00:00:11.800 I'm Sjärstj Flår, journalist, Hollywood truth teller
00:00:14.120 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:18.540 Oh my God, I had just uploaded my latest video
00:00:23.200 and then this happens.
00:00:25.220 This is huge.
00:00:27.200 Oh my God, I don't know where to start.
00:00:28.780 The judge just threw out 10 of Blake Lively's claims.
00:00:34.220 She only has three left. 0.62
00:00:36.400 Basically, he tossed out the entire case.
00:00:39.660 She has really nothing left to fight for now.
00:00:42.080 I'm sure she's going to appeal this, but this is major.
00:00:46.400 This is such a win for Justin Baldoni.
00:00:49.480 I am so happy for him right now.
00:00:52.000 We've all been waiting for this for so long.
00:00:54.880 And finally, there is some justice here.
00:00:59.560 So basically, all her SH claims, tossed out.
00:01:04.260 Most of her retaliation claims, tossed out. 0.96
00:01:07.960 This judgment is 154 pages, so I'm obviously not going to read from it.
00:01:12.400 But I'm going to break down basically what this means
00:01:15.220 and what those three claims that she has left really means.
00:01:18.880 So yes, this is a huge loss.
00:01:21.260 This is a collapse of Blake Lively's case.
00:01:23.380 We've been saying this for a long time, and I mentioned it in the previous video I uploaded
00:01:27.580 today as well, that Blake Lively never signed her contract, and the judge might rule that
00:01:33.460 that contract is not valid because of that, and that's exactly what he did.
00:01:38.360 He said, you never signed a contract as an employee, and that means you are not an employee
00:01:46.100 of It Ends With Us, the movie, which means you can't sue them under California law for
00:01:52.740 SH. So bye-bye to all those claims. That means that Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heese are both
00:02:00.060 off the hook when it comes to these terrible claims that the New York Times published in that
00:02:06.260 huge expose article last year claiming that Blake Lylee was SH'd by these two men. The judge is not
00:02:14.900 agreeing with the New York Times. Okay, so let's first look at what he actually tossed out. He said
00:02:21.100 that the federal claims under Title VII are gone.
00:02:25.040 And that is that Blake Lively didn't qualify as an employee and no employee status, no
00:02:31.620 federal case, and that completely shuts the door on those claims.
00:02:35.980 And then you move on to the California harassment claims, the ones that really fueled the narrative,
00:02:41.540 and they're also gone.
00:02:43.980 So the judge said, basically, you can't sue over this.
00:02:47.620 He doesn't really say if he actually believes that she was S.A.
00:02:51.640 She just said you can't sue for that because you weren't an employee. 0.98
00:02:56.120 He's basically also said, you know, you can't use California law for this
00:03:00.320 because all of the things that you claim happened to you happened in New Jersey.
00:03:04.480 So you can't just pick and choose what laws and what states you want to add into this case.
00:03:10.280 You have to follow the rules like everyone else.
00:03:12.520 And you were in New Jersey when this happened, not in California.
00:03:17.620 As you know, Blake Lively has been relying on Me Too laws this entire time.
00:03:22.480 And her lawyers have been trying to use that jurisdiction in New York. 1.00
00:03:26.640 And now the judge said, no, no, not having it.
00:03:30.100 And the California Labor Code retaliation claim, that is gone too.
00:03:35.080 And again, same issue, she's treated as an independent contractor. 1.00
00:03:39.900 She made sure of that herself because she never signed the contract.
00:03:44.120 and, of course, because she acted like she wasn't an employee. 0.97
00:03:48.660 She made herself a producer.
00:03:50.560 She took over the entire production, meaning she couldn't have been just an employee.
00:03:56.140 She would never have that power.
00:03:57.940 And, of course, the judge realized that as well.
00:04:00.460 And he also tossed out the failure to investigate and prevent harassment claims.
00:04:05.480 That's gone, too, because that claim depends on the harassment claim.
00:04:10.040 And because the harassment claim fell, this one fell, too.
00:04:13.600 so they didn't have to investigate anything because according to the judge she couldn't 0.57
00:04:18.500 even sue over this and here's the biggest blow the main contract claim the long form agreement
00:04:24.660 completely dead the judge basically said this contract was never even finalized it wasn't even
00:04:31.760 signed so you can't sue over a contract that doesn't exist and that is huge and then the
00:04:38.880 defamation claim. That is also gone and the false light claim also gone and once those are gone a
00:04:47.660 civil conspiracy claim also collapses because you can't have a conspiracy of people planning to do
00:04:54.600 something to you unless there is an underlying claim and since that claim is gone this is also
00:05:00.240 gone. So what is basically left here? Three things out of the 13 and I'm going to try and explain it
00:05:06.660 simple. One of them is you punish me for speaking up. Blake said, I complained about these things
00:05:12.400 and then I got treated badly because of it. And that's called retaliation. And that part of all
00:05:19.920 of these claims is still left. So she's claiming that she got punished by them. And number two is
00:05:25.320 someone helped you to punish me. And that is obviously the PR company. And number two is you
00:05:31.440 got help doing this someone helped you and that's a PR company they helped you with that punishment
00:05:38.200 and then number three you broke your promise there was a written agreement that said no one will
00:05:43.980 punish you for speaking up and you still did that according to me and that claim is still active so
00:05:52.260 basically you broke your promise is still there and you punished me for speaking up is still there
00:05:58.900 and you got someone to help you to punish me for speaking up.
00:06:01.980 So basically all these really awful claims against Justin and Jamie are gone.
00:06:07.600 He is personally mostly removed from this case
00:06:10.860 but he's still a part of those three claims that are left.
00:06:14.840 But I can only imagine how excited and happy all of these people are right now.
00:06:22.360 And of course tomorrow I will let you know what happens in the meeting today.
00:06:27.020 I'm going to jump off now and see how the media reacts to this.
00:06:30.200 And I will report on that tomorrow as well.
00:06:32.260 And in the meantime, I hope you are enjoying your day
00:06:36.340 and that you're going to celebrate this huge win for Justin Baldoni.
00:06:40.660 This is what we all wanted.
00:06:43.200 This is all what we hoped for.
00:06:44.960 But now let's see.
00:06:46.020 I'm sure Blake Lively is going to appeal this.
00:06:49.120 So that means this can go on and on and on.
00:06:53.260 And I'm sure that she will.
00:06:55.080 I wonder what her lawyers are going to say to the press right now
00:06:59.500 and I wonder what the New York Times is going to say about this
00:07:02.540 because that makes them look terrible for reporting on this the way that they did.
00:07:08.520 Anyways, thank you so much for watching.
