00:00:26.480 New series now streaming only on Paramount+.

00:00:30.000 Wow! Daily Mail is really going there.

00:00:39.660 Hi and welcome to Blossom Talk. I'm Sjastri Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:49.020 Okay, Daily Mail is going all in. This article about Blake Lively is mind-blowing.

00:00:57.500 they are not holding back on how they feel about Blake Lively and I found another interview with

00:01:05.140 TJ Miller who I spoke about yesterday who used to hate Ryan Reynolds and now is one of his new BFFs

00:01:11.920 and here he actually addresses the hate Ryan is receiving online and this makes him look even

00:01:18.520 worse. Okay and we have to talk about Rebel Wilson's case that is now being connected

00:01:23.500 to Blake Lively's case. And as you know, Blake Lively has desperately tried to use evidence

00:01:29.900 from Rebel Wilson's case in her case. Now Rebel Wilson is making the record straight and sharing

00:01:36.320 some really interesting evidence. Oh, and I was laughing so hard watching this interview with

00:01:41.700 Viola Davis on Amy Poehler yesterday, talking about intimate scenes, maybe a lesson for Blake

00:01:48.300 Lively to learn here and I wanted to share something Nicole Kidman said about kissing scenes

00:01:53.900 and why she had to tell off Alexander Skarsgård. Okay so let's jump right into the story from the

00:02:00.540 Daily Mail. I started reading this and I was like oh okay they're just reporting on what Paul Feig

00:02:06.380 said on the red carpet at the Oscars. I say another simple favor and a simple favor director Paul Feig

00:02:11.920 has been supporting Blake Lively throughout this entire legal feud and he keeps doing it and I

00:02:18.880 reported on it a couple of days ago because he was interviewed on the red carpet at the Oscar and he

00:02:23.340 said you know Blake is doing great and she's soldiering on and her marriage is great and her

00:02:29.060 kids are great whatever. Anyways that's just the beginning of this story and then Daily Mail keeps

00:02:35.820 going on about all the controversies in Blake Lively's case and all the things that she has

00:02:43.020 done and said. And it makes her look horrific. As I said, it starts off with some comments from

00:02:50.440 Paul Feig. And then they continue saying, Lively, brackets, born brown, accused Baldoni of retaliating

00:02:57.880 against her with an online smear campaign after she alleged he S-aged her, including unscripted

00:03:03.440 kissing on the set of their 2024 DV drama. However, Feig had no problem with the LA-born

00:03:12.320 mother of four improvising, squeezing her on-screen husband Henry Golding's crotch 0.99

00:03:18.580 while filming A Simple Favor in 2017 and eagerly encouraged her to grab his nuts harder. 0.91

00:03:27.380 They also included the photo when this happened and it says that's always awkward like,

00:03:32.280 hey, nice to meet you. Can I grab your nuts really hard? Not because I want to, but because I feel

00:03:37.380 like she would, lively explains on the DVD commentary. And then the story continues. In

00:03:44.840 a legal filing last November, Baldoni released footage of the secrets of the penguins narrator.

00:03:52.300 It's funny that they're making her the secret of the penguin narrator. She did narrate a movie

00:03:57.280 or a documentary about penguins improvising an unscripted kiss on himself in a deleted

00:04:05.620 hospital scene, which she had not agreed to. And they added the photo of that as well. And as you

00:04:12.600 know, Blake Lively and her team has not come out and commented on this yet. They have not said that,

00:04:19.260 oh, that didn't happen. So obviously it's true. Then they say this, Lively had never even worked

00:04:25.980 with an intimacy coordinator before it ends with us. She only worked 16 days on set and yet

00:04:32.600 successfully scored the coveted PGA credit after masterminding a hostile takeover of the entire

00:04:41.620 production. Wow! Daily Mail is really going there. If you have any friends or colleagues who are

00:04:51.240 wondering what this case is really about, you should forward this story to them and say,

00:04:55.720 hey, this is why I am on Justin Baldoni's side here.

00:04:59.600 Then they continue, the ex-BFF of Taylor Swift.

00:05:04.780 I love how they're giving her all these names

00:05:06.960 who requires authorships on all her films

00:05:12.460 took over directing, script, wardrobe, score

00:05:17.980 and editing departments by threatening

00:05:21.440 to pull out of promoting the movie

00:05:23.600 with support from distributors, Sony Pictures.

00:05:27.220 So they're also throwing Sony under the bus in this article.

00:05:31.840 I'm so amused by reading this, by the way, as you can tell.

00:05:35.320 Finally, someone has the guts to actually tell it like it is.

00:05:39.280 And then they talk about the backlash and they continue saying

00:05:42.060 the lively backlash began after she was cast in the role 0.84

00:05:45.220 of a much younger 23-year-old florist

00:05:47.780 and she didn't help her likability with her sarcastic answers 0.84

00:05:51.940 about DV and floral-filled Barbie-style promotion

00:05:55.320 directly tied to her hair care and booze brands.

00:06:00.740 The marketing for It Ends With Us was masterminded by Reynolds company Maximum Effort.

00:06:06.320 The Canadian 49-year-old shell company Van Zand

00:06:10.000 was also behind the sham lawsuit that issued the subpoena

00:06:14.760 exposing Wayfair publicist Jennifer Abel's text messages,

00:06:18.840 which were published by the New York Times in bad faith in 2024.

00:06:24.860 Wow.

00:06:25.560 Not a lot of outlets has touched upon the Van Zandt lawsuit.

00:06:30.980 It is very controversial.

00:06:33.260 And although, as you know, Blake Lively's attorneys came out and said this is completely normal,

00:06:39.200 most legal experts and lawyers that I've listened to say this is not normal.

00:06:45.360 And this is super shady.

00:06:47.260 And they also mentioned this, the Gossip Girl alum who also issued 107 subpoenas to ordinary content creators would not have had any case without the Van Zandt subpoena.

00:07:00.920 As you know, she subpoenaed me and 106 other people.

00:07:05.580 One of the content creators Blake Lively subpoenaed had one follower on YouTube.

00:07:10.120 and again a lot of outlets did not touch upon this story so kudos to Daily Mail for actually

00:07:17.880 mentioning this as well which really shows a lot about the strategy from her legal team of just

00:07:24.920 intimidating all critical voices. Then they end this with Lively set to face off against the 42

00:07:31.460 year old filmmaker and his PR team in Manhattan U.S. District Court starting May 18 but the general

00:07:38.000 public have already sided with Baldoni. Wow, Leslie Sloan must be fuming. I wonder how many emails 1.00

00:07:48.320 and phone calls have been happening between Daily Mail and Leslie Sloan since this was published.

00:07:55.640 Yeah, this is really, really bad for Blake. Okay, so let's dig into this new video of TJ Miller.

00:08:03.240 But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video, Raycon Essential Open Air Buds.

00:08:10.460 With spring on its way, I've been spending even more time outside.

00:08:14.120 And every morning when I walk Oscar and prepare for the day's episode,

00:08:18.620 listening to the news or listening to other podcasts, or maybe I'm on a phone call,

00:08:23.800 I always use my Raycon Essential Open Air Buds.

00:08:27.820 What I really like about this is the open air design.

00:08:31.160 I have really small air flips, so it's really hard for me to find actual earbuds that sits in my ear and don't fall out all the time.

00:08:40.420 And that's why I love this design.

00:08:42.940 I don't run myself, but I can imagine if you are a runner, these are going to be a game changer.

00:08:49.320 Regular earbuds blocks out everything around you, but these just sit outside the air canal so you can listen to music,

00:08:57.120 listen to a podcast, whatever you're doing without blocking out the entire world. So you can actually

00:09:03.300 hear what's happening around you. If there's a car coming, if there's a bike coming, if someone's

00:09:09.380 yelling at you, whatever it is, you will be present. They're also super lightweight so you don't even

00:09:17.200 notice that you're wearing them. Eight hours of playtime and up to 36 hours with the case. I charge

00:09:23.820 these about once a week only. The essential open earbuds are perfect for refreshing your routine

00:09:30.180 this spring. Click on the link in my description box or go to buyraycon.com slash flowopen my last

00:09:38.480 name open to get 20% off. That's buyraycon.com slash flowopen. Okay so let's get into another

00:09:47.520 video of TJ Miller when he's interviewed on another podcast. I spoke about TJ Miller yesterday

00:09:53.780 because he all of a sudden came out and said that him and Ryan are really good friends

00:09:58.620 and he just spoke to him on the phone a couple of days ago

00:10:00.800 and he's so funny and he's so loyal and he would always support him

00:10:05.760 and Ryan supports him.

00:10:07.800 And I showed the interview that he did three years ago

00:10:10.720 when he basically said that Ryan was horrifically mean to him

00:10:14.060 and that he felt that he was insecure and that he never wanted to work with him again.

00:10:18.580 I found this other interview that TJ Miller did seven months ago.

00:10:22.540 So here he's asked about his own controversies because he's been canceled many times already.

00:10:28.040 I'll get a little bit into all the things that he's been accused of later after I've

00:10:32.300 showed you this clip because T.J. Miller is extremely controversial and he's been accused

00:10:38.360 of horrific things, OK?

00:10:41.000 But now Ryan wants to be his friend.

00:10:43.620 When he was asked about the backlash against Ryan in this podcast, he gave this priceless

00:10:49.440 answer.

00:10:50.020 Ryan Reynolds, who's a great guy and a very good friend of mine, he sort of is going through this thing where people are really hating on him over Twitter, just online.

00:10:59.120 Why?

00:10:59.720 I don't know.

00:11:00.580 You know, there's kind of this.

00:11:01.820 He's too handsome?

00:11:02.880 No, they think that he's actually a mean person and not a great guy.

00:11:07.220 And, you know, his whole brand is being a great guy.

00:11:09.860 But I think he's brilliant, first of all.

00:11:12.620 What's scary is if you're an actor and that's kind of all you are, if Hollywood turns their back on you, what do you do?

00:11:19.120 The speed at which Hollywood and the industry will discard you is just, you can't even believe it.

00:11:27.080 Yeah. People are hating on him on Twitter. And the reason for that, I don't really know,

00:11:33.940 but I think it is because they believe that he's not a good person anymore.

00:11:38.580 They believe he's a bad person and they thought he was a nice person.

00:11:42.400 Well, one of the reasons for that, T.J. Miller, is because you told everyone that he was horrifically mean.

00:11:50.480 And now T.J. Miller is saying that he's surprised by this backlash towards Ryan.

00:11:56.860 Of course, it's not only because he said that he was horrifically mean, but because people have actually seen how horrifically mean Ryan Reynolds can be,

00:12:05.720 especially after all these text messages were released to the public in the lawsuit with Blake

00:12:11.680 Lively but we've also been told through a lot of other evidence from Blake Lively what Ryan Reynolds

00:12:16.880 have been up to and now all of a sudden he's like oh yeah well I said he was a bad person but I

00:12:21.980 really meant that he was a nice person and he's come out afterwards also and said the whole thing

00:12:26.300 was kind of a misunderstanding as I said yesterday in my episode I wonder what happened here how Ryan

00:12:33.340 got to him. But another layer of this, which I find really interesting, is that now Ryan Reynolds

00:12:39.000 has teamed up with TJ again. And he also said in the interview I showed yesterday that he's open

00:12:44.640 to being in the next Deadpool movie. No one knows when that's going to happen, but he is in touch

00:12:50.780 with Ryan all the time. And when you look at the things that TJ has been accused of, and Ryan is

00:12:58.760 choosing to be friends with him and support him and consider having him in his movie and a lot of

00:13:05.460 the information a lot of the accusations against tj became public in 2017 and still ryan had him

00:13:15.280 in deadpool 2 in 2018 keep that in mind when you think about how ryan has attacked justin poltoni

00:13:24.640 OK, it says here in an article from The List when the S.A. allegations, we're not talking S.H., we're talking S.A. here, against Miller surfaced.

00:13:35.300 They were just the last straw in a laundry list of problems that made him a person whom other actors didn't want to be around.

00:13:43.440 It's not that uncommon for certain actors to believe they've outgrown the show that launched them and start behaving like divas on set.

00:13:51.220 according to Miller's co-workers that's exactly what happened to him as the years went on as the

00:13:57.280 years went by on the Silicon Valley production. So apparently he showed up at work under the

00:14:03.680 influence several times and also People Magazine did this story in 2018 where they made an entire

00:14:12.420 list of all the things that T.J. Miller had been up to and that included being arrested

00:14:19.500 and being violent towards a woman and SA allegations.

00:14:25.340 It was said that he choked and punched

00:14:27.960 and then did something with a bare bottle on her. 1.00

00:14:33.120 And this happened when he was a student at the George Washington University.

00:14:38.040 I don't know if there's any truth to that or not

00:14:40.500 because it was never confirmed and it was never reported to the police,

00:14:44.380 but the woman reported it to the university.

00:14:46.940 Just hours after these allegations were made public, Comedy Central announced that Miller's The Gorberger Show had been cancelled after just one season.

00:14:58.020 Though a source from Comedy Central said the decision was made much earlier in the year.

00:15:02.180 So we don't know if it was connected to those allegations.

00:15:05.500 But again, I don't believe anything all of these statements are saying.

00:15:08.740 We know they're just full of BS trying to protect themselves, trying to protect themselves from lawsuits.

00:15:14.240 But what I find so interesting here is that Ryan wants to team up with this guy now, and he's calling him.

00:15:21.120 Maybe he's the only person, except for maybe Hugh Jackman, who wants to be his friend.

00:15:27.180 But it's very suspicious to me that TJ is now coming out defending Ryan Reynolds.

00:15:32.940 He also said in this podcast to the host that it's lucky for us because we are stand-up comedians,

00:15:38.300 and as a stand-up comedian, and as a stand-up, you can run your own show.

00:15:42.620 you don't need to work for anyone. So if you cancelled over and over again, you still have a

00:15:47.260 job, you have something to fall back on. So I guess for Ryan Reynolds, maybe that is a solution down

00:15:52.480 the road for him as well. He can always just do his own stand-up on Instagram, for example.

00:15:57.800 Anyways, we have to get into this Rebel Wilson stuff. This is so dirty and gritty. As you know,

00:16:03.480 there was an audio leak a couple of days ago. It came from the Rebel Wilson lawsuit. She is being

00:16:10.940 sued by Amanda Ghost the producer of her film The Deb for defamation which amongst other things

00:16:18.480 painted Amanda Ghost as a madam and some other serious allegations and also things that it seems

00:16:26.420 like now has shown up in those e-files. There are so many words and names I can't say on YouTube

00:16:32.920 because they will demonetize so that's why I have to be really careful of how I'm wording this story

00:16:39.320 just so you know that. So after that recording came out, which involved Jed Wallace, the so-called

00:16:46.320 hired gun, or that's what Blake Lively's team has been calling him, because he was also working for

00:16:53.420 the Wayfair parties during the crisis around It Ends With Us. So that's obviously why Blake Lively

00:16:59.620 also wants to use this evidence in her case, saying, hey, look what happened over there. 0.98

00:17:04.220 Of course it happened to me too. Listening to the voice memo from Jed Wallace it became clear

00:17:10.340 that they were talking about making a smear website but the big question is was it true

00:17:16.980 what they were accusing Amanda ghost of or did they make it up? If they made it up that would

00:17:23.380 that would be terrible for Jed Wallace but if they didn't I don't know if it's actually illegal

00:17:29.840 to create a website where you state some facts about a person.

00:17:34.200 I don't know.

00:17:34.760 That's up to the judge or the jury in that case.

00:17:37.200 But anyways, now Rebel Wilson came out with some serious evidence.

00:17:42.540 She posted all of this on her Instagram story.

00:17:45.620 She said, regarding the lawsuits and drama associated with my film The Deb,

00:17:50.960 my passion project, directing debut and beautiful movie

00:17:55.480 about a girl wanting to be pretty and realizing she is pretty strong in character.

00:18:01.740 Well, there's a lot to say.

00:18:04.060 And Rebel claimed that the story no one is writing

00:18:07.460 is that the Deb and the producers she has complained about,

00:18:11.580 like Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden,

00:18:15.800 are all funded by billionaire USSR-born oligarch, Sir Len Blavatnik.

00:18:21.640 She then shared an email reportedly sent from her production company Camp Sugar to Blavatnik asking him to stop the producer's alleged behavior and either remove them from the project or let her buy out the film.

00:18:35.760 She then goes on to say that Blavatnik was mentioned in the e-files and she included screenshots that appeared to include his name, such as an alleged email from E to someone named Peggy Segal asking her to please ask Blavatnik to find a job for a friend of his in Russia, in addition to other documents.

00:18:58.000 As I said, these are all alleged things.

00:19:00.820 These are all documents that Rebel Wilson shared on her Instagram story.

00:19:07.020 But I'm assuming that she shared all of this because of that Hollywood Reporter article.

00:19:10.920 And we also know how Brian Friedman has been dragged into it.

00:19:14.060 He is no longer representing Rebel Wilson, but he was at this point.

00:19:19.240 Also an important thing here is that this alleged smear website was published after Rebel Wilson was sued by Amanda Ghost.

00:19:29.900 So if you don't know the backstory here, Rebel Wilson is claiming that one of her actresses called McInnes came to her and said that Amanda Ghost, the producer, had done inappropriate things to her.

00:19:43.240 then Rebel Wilson took action and then the producer denied that that happened and also

00:19:50.460 the actress said that she never said that to Rebel Wilson so it's a bit of a mess now Rebel

00:19:57.380 is also claiming that McInnes this young girl is working with Amanda Ghost and basically saying

00:20:04.980 that Amanda Ghost has groomed her she also added a photo of Charlotte McInnes in her Instagram

00:20:11.480 story saying that here she is at a Warner Music pre-Grammy party last month that was naturally

00:20:19.160 attended by Len Blavatnik, who owns Warner Music. Amanda Ghost paraded McInnes around and they have

00:20:27.040 now started releasing her music. So Charlotte's latest single, Struck, was released by Atlantic

00:20:34.060 Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music. Rebel said that, to my knowledge, McInnes only has a few

00:20:40.860 thousand fans so it's odd that she's a recipient of such a deal and lives a luxe international

00:20:46.280 lifestyle as seen on her social media and then she ends it with watch now for the fun fun crisis

00:20:54.200 PR articles that are coming down the track to try and discredit me this is what these people do

00:21:00.120 I'm not scared and I won't be silenced I still haven't made up my mind where the truth lays

00:21:07.520 in this story. I think there are so many contradictions here. And after watching the

00:21:12.380 interview with Rebel Wilson on 60 Minutes, I was like, something's not right here. But looking at

00:21:19.540 this evidence and these emails and these documents that she shared, I mean, there might be some truth

00:21:26.000 to what she's alleging about Amanda Ghost. Who knows? But I think this is really dangerous

00:21:32.240 territory and as I said this is definitely something that Blake Lively is planning to use

00:21:38.200 in her legal fight against Justin Baldoni to say hey listen to this recording they were planning a

00:21:44.200 smear website against Amanda Ghost and of course they were smearing me because you know that's how

00:21:50.320 they are. Anyways I wanted to end this episode with a couple of videos that I found so amusing

00:21:54.720 that I saw on the internet yesterday.

00:21:57.700 So one is an interview with Viola Davis.

00:22:00.880 She was on Amy Poehler's podcast

00:22:02.980 and they talked about love scenes.

00:22:05.300 And it was so amusing to see how honest

00:22:07.780 these two ladies were about their feelings 0.98

00:22:10.240 of doing love scenes in movies.

00:22:12.400 I can't stand love scenes.

00:22:14.240 I can't stand watching them.

00:22:15.880 I can't stand doing them.

00:22:17.820 I'm like, I finally said how to get away with murder.

00:22:21.660 I'm not doing any more love scenes anymore.

00:22:23.800 I mean, that's it.

00:22:24.720 You write a love scene.

00:22:25.920 I'm not doing it.

00:22:26.900 Unless you give me a boyfriend who has a stomach.

00:22:32.000 Wait, say more.

00:22:33.640 A big gut.

00:22:35.420 Yeah.

00:22:36.020 And you know why?

00:22:37.200 Why?

00:22:38.160 Because you'll actually write the scene.

00:22:40.020 I've not done many, but the couple times it's been on the call sheet, I'm like, oh, no.

00:22:44.500 This is the worst day.

00:22:46.360 And by the way, anybody that's like, ooh, I got a love scene today, red flag.

00:22:50.840 yes Viola Davis only wants to do a love scene if the man has a big gut I love that and she also 1.00

00:22:59.740 said that she doesn't want to do them Amy Poehler agrees I mean I would find it so awkward to go to

00:23:08.520 work in the morning and know that okay I'm gonna make out with this guy and then we're gonna be

00:23:14.620 partly nude together in bed. It's a weird thing but I think you have to be honest about that

00:23:20.920 in your career and say that hey I don't want to do these things. Maybe a lesson for Blake Lively

00:23:25.760 don't sign up to a movie if you don't want to do these kind of scenes. Also I love this interview

00:23:33.000 with Nicole Kidman. I love how open she always is about these things and she was sharing some

00:23:38.540 information here. I think they were talking about her life after divorce. You know she split from

00:23:43.360 her husband last year, Keith Urban, and now she's finally opening up about life as a single woman.

00:23:49.800 I cannot stand bad breath. I mean, this is a deal breaker for me. Like you could be the most

00:23:57.160 gorgeous, gorgeous guy and you come at me with bad breath. And I'm like, no. And so therefore,

00:24:04.420 when Alexander Skarsgård ate a falafel sandwich before we did the scenes in Big Little Lies,

00:24:11.380 I'm like, no, no, no, Alex.

00:24:13.840 I'm meant to be kissing you and into you.

00:24:16.900 Put away the falafel now, right?

00:24:21.100 Because the bad breath does not turn me on.

00:24:25.460 Yes, don't eat a falafel before you make out with Nicole Kidman

00:24:29.560 or before you make out with anyone.

00:24:31.820 I think no one likes a bad breath.

00:24:34.040 It's just like the number one rule of intimacy.

00:24:37.140 But I think it was so funny that she mentioned that

00:24:38.940 because also Alexander Skarsgård is a man who doesn't take himself seriously.

00:24:43.180 And I think this is evidence of that as well, that he would eat a falafel

00:24:47.100 before these very raunchy scenes that he was doing with Nicole Kidman in Big Little Lies.

00:24:54.820 Anyways, that's it for me, you guys. I hope you enjoyed this episode.
