They told me right away. I didn't even ask. They said, hey, the reason that we subpoenaed you,
00:00:11.760
Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, the podcast. I'm Tash DeFlo, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:18.180
and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. Each week I unpack the madness,
00:00:23.560
the hypocrisy, and everything that infuriates me and inspires me about celebrity culture.
00:00:30.000
Especially everything going on in Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni legal feud. I did kind of
00:00:36.160
promise that in this podcast I would talk about other things and I will sometimes, but there's so
00:00:43.480
much going on right now and I feel like a lot of you guys that are following me on YouTube are just
00:00:48.180
waiting to get more updates on this. So I will give you that. I will say that on Monday I will be going
00:00:55.280
to Norway to spend some time with my family and get a little bit of a break because I do need to
00:01:00.360
turn off a little bit now. It's been a lot. So I won't be posting that much while I'm there. It's
00:01:07.140
probably going to be for about a week or so. But if anything big happens, I will jump on and give you
00:01:12.200
a little bit of an update. So stay tuned. Anyways, yesterday I spoke to one of the creators who was
00:01:18.300
subpoenaed on X, the lawyer. I don't know if you saw that interview. It was like a week ago or so
00:01:24.180
and now she has an update because she's spoken to Blake Lively's legal team and they told her
00:01:29.660
why they were subpoenaing her. And it's insane, you guys. So stay tuned for that interview at the
00:01:36.600
end of this video. Also, there is some big news, you guys, because yesterday Blake Lively was deposed
00:01:43.300
by Brian Friedman. I didn't think that was going to happen, but now I think that probably was a typo
00:01:49.700
in Daily Mail because they reported, and I think people also reported, that the deposition of Blake
00:01:56.200
Lively was postponed again. I didn't see that information anywhere else, but I thought, you know,
00:02:01.820
they said it, so it's probably true. Well, it wasn't true. Anyways, so yes, Blake Lively was deposed
00:02:09.860
yesterday. And guess who showed up? Justin Baldoni. Can you imagine the face of Blake when she saw
00:02:18.640
Justin Baldoni there? It is pretty normal for someone who's being sued like that to actually
00:02:24.600
show up at a deposition. So it's not like a big surprise that all the outlets wanted it to be.
00:02:30.860
But oh my God, could I give anything to be a fly on the wall during that deposition?
00:02:36.540
I think for Justin Baldoni, just to sit there and have her watch him while she's lying her teeth off
00:02:43.660
is a little satisfactory. I would think so. I know he's a very good person who doesn't want
00:02:49.740
any harm upon anyone, but I feel like any person would enjoy that moment a little bit. And I'm sure
00:02:57.320
it's also frustrating. And I'm 100% sure that she was crying and crying and crying during her
00:03:04.560
deposition. Because that's what these kind of people, these kind of narcissists usually do. And
00:03:10.200
you have to remember, it's much harder to keep your story straight when it's not true. I just know
00:03:15.920
that she's going to sit there and cry for hours, because she feels so guilty now. And there's no way
00:03:21.320
out. And that's the real reason why she's crying in this deposition. Anyways, Fox News did a story
00:03:27.340
where they were interviewing an attorney about this, what he thinks is going to happen on the,
00:03:31.220
at this deposition. And he said that they will likely do a deep dive into the videos of her joking
00:03:37.920
and flirting with Baldoni and get her to admit that she was doing so instead of perfectly feeling
00:03:43.480
uncomfortable as her representation has claimed. Yeah, I'm sure he was showing that video and how
00:03:48.860
she had to go through every second of it. And when she exactly felt like he was, you know, pushing her
00:03:55.220
too far with that kiss who lingered to it, which lingered too long, or when he bit her lip, or was
00:04:01.520
it her actually biting his lip. She's got a lot of explaining to do.
00:04:11.420
Yes, I was hoping that we could address this. It's not too late. Just got to shut down. We've got to call
00:04:19.980
Yeah, this employment and defamation attorney that they interviewed, his name is Cameron Dabalakshayi,
00:04:28.160
and he continues to say that each of their interactions will be analyzed and questioned,
00:04:33.180
and any misstatement by Lively can and will be used against her. I expect there to be multiple
00:04:39.480
deposition sessions as well, and for the Baldoni team to move for additional sessions.
00:04:44.100
So this will likely be the first of potentially a few depositions.
00:04:48.000
So yes, more coming soon for Blake Lively. I'm sure they were there for like seven or eight hours
00:04:54.420
yesterday, but she better buckle up for Brian Friedman. I don't know if any of this is going
00:04:59.960
to leak. It could happen, but I'm sure Brian Friedman is being a bit careful. So if it doesn't
00:05:05.180
come from him, maybe someone else would leak it. Who knows? I kind of hope that we will get a little
00:05:10.500
peek into what happened. But of course, don't break the rules. Yesterday, I did have an interesting
00:05:15.780
conversation with someone. We were talking about this whole scenario of why Ryan and Blake are doing
00:05:21.460
so many stupid things. She told me that sometimes lawyers are told by their clients, especially if
00:05:28.160
they have big egos like these guys, to do things that the lawyers don't agree with. And she said that
00:05:34.680
they probably didn't think it was a great idea to subpoena the content creators, but Blake and Ryan
00:05:40.620
might have pushed them to do so. And that's why there wasn't such a clear plan of what to do when
00:05:46.380
everyone filed motions to quash, that they would just withdraw everything. And I feel like it makes
00:05:52.540
sense that Ryan Reynolds will come up with something like that, just to kind of punish people, steal their
00:05:58.380
time and their money to do and to fight this and then have absolutely no plan behind it just to say
00:06:05.140
like, F you, I'm Ryan Reynolds, and I can do whatever I want. Because otherwise, why would the lawyers do
00:06:10.180
something like that? Anyways, in the meantime, when this was going on, Ryan Reynolds had a story planted
00:06:16.540
in USA Today, where they go through his career. I mean, how random is this article? The same day as
00:06:24.980
Blake Lively is being deposed, and all these motions to quash are hitting the docket. Ryan Reynolds,
00:06:31.820
there's a story in USA Today of Ryan Reynolds' career from Green Lantern to Deadpool. Like, what's the news
00:06:41.180
in this story exactly? Also, thank you, Bruce, for sending me this. He was commenting on this article
00:06:49.740
in People magazine, and it says Justin Baldoni's lawyer previously called the actor a person who wants to be
00:06:55.620
vindicated, and that's all that he cares about. Of course he wants to be vindicated. But then Bruce tried
00:07:01.700
to comment on in the comment section here, and his comments were always deactivated by people. And he
00:07:08.860
sent me some screenshots when someone was saying that Justin Baldoni is manipulative psychopath,
00:07:14.420
whatever. And then Bruce said that you must be new here. Blake lied. And People magazine retracted
00:07:21.840
his comments. And they did that with several other comments as well. And none of his comments were
00:07:28.660
offensive. So there's obviously someone sitting at people just removing all comments that are not
00:07:35.120
pro-Blake Lively. It's so ridiculous, but it's so obvious as well. As you've seen, they made, I don't
00:07:40.640
know how many articles they made just to promote Blake Lively's products, even selling them. One of them
00:07:46.500
they actually removed after I called them out saying that they should be marked as an advertisement.
00:07:51.380
And then all of a sudden, the article was gone. I don't know if it was because I mentioned it, but
00:07:56.640
they did actually remove the article. And the fight from the content creators continues. Perez Hilton
00:08:02.640
and Andy Signor filed their motions to quash. Perez Hilton did it in Las Vegas, and Andy Signor did it in
00:08:10.640
Florida, meaning that there are other judges that are actually going to look at their motions to quash.
00:08:17.060
That also means that Blake Lively needs to fight them in their state courts, which is amazing. And
00:08:25.040
local judges might be more sympathetic towards them, and they might not know much about this case.
00:08:30.540
And they might not think that a powerful celebrity should have access to all the personal emails and
00:08:36.440
everything else of private information from Perez Hilton and Andy Signor. You have to remember,
00:08:42.180
they received even broader subpoenas than the rest of us. We only got subpoenaed for our social media
00:08:48.720
accounts. They got subpoenaed for emails, phone calls, text messages, everything. There are also much
00:08:53.980
stricter anti-slap laws in Nevada and in Florida, so that also might help them. And this means more
00:09:01.240
lawyers for Blake Lively, more filings and more risk, and possibly more scrutiny in the media.
00:09:07.480
Also, we now know that there are 107 content creators that have been subpoenaed by Blake
00:09:16.020
Lively's lawyers. What has happened to the rest of them? Where are they? But before we get into that,
00:09:23.820

00:10:36.220
because I don't even know who they are. That information hasn't been made public yet. It was
00:10:42.180
just from a hearing between Justin Baldoni's attorneys and the judge that someone picked it up
00:10:48.280
that they were talking about 107 content creators. I did see Pop Diaries, which is another channel,
00:10:56.500
a faceless channel, an anonymous channel, posted this on Instagram.
00:11:01.240
We were subpoenaed by Blake Lively. This is the scariest thing to ever happen to us on the
00:11:05.540
internet. Me and my best friend run the TikTok account, Pop Diaries. We make videos about pop
00:11:10.480
culture just like thousands of other people, but a couple weeks ago, we found out through social
00:11:15.180
media, not the courts, that Blake Lively subpoenaed TikTok should get our private information.
00:11:21.300
That includes our names, IP addresses, SIM card data, contacts, bank information,
00:11:26.480
even our payment methods, all because we criticized how she promoted It Ends With Us.
00:11:31.760
Yeah, let's not forget the devastation so many people have felt when they received these subpoenas.
00:11:36.340
Good news is that the judge actually did agree for them to continue to file a motion to cross
00:11:42.220
as Jane Doe and Jane Doe. So they're still anonymous. And of course, Blake Lively's team is going to
00:11:49.200
withdraw the subpoena before even the judge concede because that's what they do every time now.
00:11:54.360
More people just wasted time and got stressed. And as she said in this video,
00:11:59.240
she even got into a car crash because she was so stressed out about this.
00:12:03.320
Anyways, as I said in the beginning of this episode, I did speak to the anonymous ex-user
00:12:08.520
that has been subpoenaed or was subpoenaed by Blake Lively's lawyers. And she's an attorney herself.
00:12:15.880
She's an immigration lawyer. So for her, it was even a bigger shock when this happened.
00:12:21.440
And I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago when it just had happened. And now she's going to share
00:12:27.280
with you what actually happened and the absurd excuse they made for picking her specifically
00:12:33.960
for this subpoena on ex. You won't believe this.
00:12:37.900
I actually did have them meet and confer with them.
00:12:44.800
And I'm here because I know that there's a lot of people that have been subpoenaed and
00:12:49.780
they don't know exactly how to navigate this. And I'm not giving legal advice, but at least
00:12:54.240
I can prepare them somewhat of what to expect and general advice that I think might be helpful
00:12:59.460
to you. Like it was hard because I'm like, they were also attorneys, you know, and I'm going
00:13:04.400
after other attorneys. And then I'm like, oh, OK, you know, and I'm like, then I was worried
00:13:09.260
about Lyman. And I was like, you know, even if I file this motion, given how he's been
00:13:13.920
ruling, no matter how good the argument is going to be, what if he still rules in favor
00:13:21.760
You felt like that could actually affect your career as an attorney?
00:13:26.300
It didn't make me feel like it would affect my opinion as an attorney.
00:13:32.060
No, I mean, like your career that you dragged into something like this and subpoenas.
00:13:36.300
Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah. Because that's one of the reasons I wanted to be anonymous.
00:13:40.600
Right. Like because I'm I'm a lawyer. I don't want my opinions to be affiliated with any
00:13:45.740
nonprofit or law firm. And and I'm a very honest person. I say what I mean and I mean
00:13:51.040
what I say. You know what I mean? And I'm very unapologetic about it. And nowadays people
00:13:56.260
are very politically correct and they want to be you know, it's it's very you could lose
00:14:01.040
your job for because of social media now. Like that's the reality that we're in, you know.
00:14:05.760
So I was like, you know, I just want to be able to speak freely, say what I need to say
00:14:10.940
without having to be worried about me being affiliated by anybody else. So that's why I
00:14:16.500
wanted that anonymous account to be able to just express myself freely.
00:14:20.800
Did they understand that you were a lawyer from the get go? Do you think that they actually
00:14:25.720
knew that before they subpoenaed you or were they a little surprised by you saying that to
00:14:30.220
them? I think they knew. I can I be very honest with you? Do not underestimate law firms,
00:14:35.960
guys. Like I've like, yes, I have done national litigation. I've worked very for a small period
00:14:41.960
of time. It's not my main area of practice, but I've worked in those type of atmospheres
00:14:46.420
where there is giant litigation firms. They are well equipped machines because I remember
00:14:52.920
when I worked for a civil litigation case, they had me assigned. You understand what I'm saying?
00:14:58.540
They had me assigned to particular people and I would monitor their social media. You know,
00:15:03.300
they hire private investigators when it's like lots and lots of million dollar money. Like when
00:15:08.880
when a high stake conflicts case is involved, money matters, unfortunately. And people are willing to
00:15:15.740
spend a lot of money to save their reputation, you know. So they're willing to do a lot, pay more
00:15:21.360
money behind the scenes than they are willing to pay the other party that they harmed. Right. So I
00:15:27.540
I, I, I'm very, I do think they knew or at the very least, I will say this. Maybe they didn't know
00:15:34.300
I, the spiritual shift was, but once I emailed them, there's no way they didn't look up my name.
00:15:40.100
They know my address now. They looked me up. They, they know everything. And I do think one of the
00:15:45.080
things they wanted from us, remember it was our names, our addresses and all of that stuff. Right.
00:15:51.660
I, I wrote that email. They responded that, okay, let's do a meet and confirm. So that was a bit
00:15:58.140
misleading because in my mind, I was thinking, okay, I told you that this is the only thing that
00:16:03.920
I'm willing to do a written stipulation, right. To withdraw. Right. Or I'm going to file the motion.
00:16:09.560
But when I got to the meeting and mind you, when I did have the zoom meeting, it was, and like I said,
00:16:16.740
what I do want to just say is that I like, I don't know how to explain this, but initially I felt like
00:16:27.300
there was this respect in the rapport. They were being respectful, but at the same time,
00:16:34.160
you have to be careful because there are technically ways during a zoom call, people can find your IP
00:16:40.880
address and whatnot. And this is if you're, if they're really playing dirty, like, you know what I mean?
00:16:45.640
Which I hope they are not in that level and that wouldn't be ethical for them to do. But when I was
00:16:51.640
in that meeting, first thing I noticed was there were two people, you know, and they had immediately
00:16:56.900
said not to record and not have anybody else present. So by default, they're outnumbering me.
00:17:03.900
Right. So for example, if I said, well, she said this, they're going to say, well, two of us said this,
00:17:10.080
you get what I'm saying? So there were tricks being played. I'm not going to say that. And that's just,
00:17:14.640
look, they're not representing us. That's one thing people have to know. Do not expect opposing
00:17:20.640
attorneys to ever do you any favors. You have to advocate for yourself. You have to. And to be
00:17:27.820
honest, I really didn't have anything to hide. You know what I mean? So I was like, you know,
00:17:31.380
I knew what was kind of happening and they didn't want me to have any other people, but I was there.
00:17:36.160
So then I, that itself kind of got me like a little bit like, okay, I see what's happening
00:17:41.720
here. And then, um, what I thought was going to be a, let's negotiate the stipulations of the,
00:17:49.660
of the withdrawal became, well, we would like to ask you some voluntary questions, you know,
00:17:56.240
and, um, this is getting juicy. But let me ask you, did your attorney do a meeting confer with them?
00:18:05.160
Yeah. They did. Uh, I don't know what they used. I just heard that they had a meeting with them
00:18:12.580
and, uh, nothing came from it really. They were just saying, cause he wanted to know exactly what
00:18:19.460
they wanted, what they were after. And then they said that they wanted to prove that I was paid by
00:18:25.980
Wayfair parties. Interesting. Yeah. Very interesting. So I'll tell you what they told me. They actually
00:18:33.140
told me, which everybody else said that they never responded to them. A lot of the content creators
00:18:38.100
said they asked like, why did you subpoena us? And they actually did tell me. So let me tell you
00:18:43.780
what I, yeah, let's share. So then what happened in the meeting was, so they were cordial. Like I said,
00:18:50.400
they were nice. So that was that kind of moment where I'm just like, okay, this is an attorney
00:18:54.260
talking to attorney. And there was a human moment there, you know, for good or bad. And, um,
00:18:59.200
but then they were being attorneys and they're always going to be Blake's attorneys. And they're
00:19:03.280
like, Oh, we have some voluntary questions. And one of them, they, they basically said that they're,
00:19:09.480
they told me right away. I didn't even ask. They said, Hey, the reason that we subpoenaed you,
00:19:17.760
Really? That's why they said they subpoenaed me. And then I was so, and I'm like, huh? Like I was
00:19:26.520
so confused. I was like, so confused. But then it hit, he's listed as one of the names in the tag
00:19:33.060
contact list. Yeah. But so why would they subpoena you because of him? Well, that's,
00:19:38.680
and that's when they wouldn't tell. Right. So then I, have you been on a show before?
00:19:42.700
No, I have not. I have not been to Andy's show. I don't even think Andy shouted me out ever. I
00:19:49.540
don't even think he even mentioned me in his show ever once. No, no joke. I'm not lying. So that was
00:19:54.300
so bizarre and weird. Did you ever tweet anything or X any, do you say still tweet? I don't, I'm not
00:20:00.900
on X. Did you X anything about Popcorn Planet? Don't come to X. It's a dangerous world. I know. I
00:20:09.060
know. I feel like you go down that rabbit hole and it's just like, Oh, very dark. But, um, did you
00:20:14.580
ever tweet anything that he said or something like that? Or? I mean, I literally cannot. I, I mean,
00:20:22.040
obviously they withdrew the subpoena because they knew that there was no connection. Cause I asked
00:20:25.800
them, I said, what are you? I'm like, okay. I'm like, if Andy is your target, how are you connecting
00:20:33.400
him to me? What's the relevancy of this? How are you connecting me? They didn't have an
00:20:38.320
answer. They didn't have an answer. So, um, then I'm all, and then I'm just like, okay,
00:20:45.480
so what are you going to do now? Are you going to subpoena all his million subscribers? Now
00:20:49.720
everybody who's liked him, who commented, are you subscribed to his channel? I, I think I
00:20:56.540
am where I was, or I don't know. Like, I don't even know. Like, so that would be, oh my gosh.
00:21:01.740
Wow. Yeah. And no, Andy does an amazing job. Don't like, he's a great, I think everybody should
00:21:07.880
be following him. His content is also amazing, but no, like I, I never was on his show. I don't
00:21:14.280
know what they're talking about. And I'm, I'm curious myself, like what, cause they obviously,
00:21:19.820
maybe not obviously, that's why it's, that's why they withdrew the subpoena. Cause if they actually
00:21:24.480
had something, I think they would have moved forward. Right. Well, they haven't moved forward with
00:21:28.620
anyone. And that's what I find so suspicious here. And that's why I almost like regret what I did
00:21:35.960
because I'm like, should I have done more? I don't regret it. Cause there's no, there's no regret
00:21:41.080
because technically we could still do something now, even now. And I never promised to them that
00:21:45.900
I'm never going to take any action. I just said, as of now, I won't be filing anything. I gave them
00:21:51.880
the same reasoning that they said. So anyways, the second question they asked me was, so it was kind of
00:21:57.280
like the hypothesis that I had when I was on your show the last time. I don't know if you remember,
00:22:01.680
remember I was joking. I was like, maybe they think I'm your bot, right? Or I'm your paid show.
00:22:06.280
Like, remember I was thinking like saying, joking that maybe they think we are, I'm working for the
00:22:10.620
bigger creators. But then guess what the second question was? The second question was, has anybody
00:22:18.300
been providing you sources, news about Blake Lively on like anonymous accounts or privately have,
00:22:24.600
are they feeding you information about Blake Lively? And that's when I shut it down. Cause I'm like,
00:22:29.760
you know what I mean? Like, okay, they're now just digging. They're just, it's like a fishing
00:22:33.220
expedition at this point. That's, I, sorry, I forgot to say that. That's also what they asked my
00:22:38.200
attorney. Anonymous sources. That's what they think is happening. So they think Wayfair parties are
00:22:46.540
creating these, I think, paid shows or maybe these like, you know, accounts that are just like feeding
00:22:52.260
us this information. So my response was... We're not talking national security here. It feels like
00:22:57.540
we're talking about like this, like big, but it's like, oh no, it's because Blake Lively is not popular.
00:23:03.760
We have to remember that. Okay. I'm so sorry. I interrupted you, but I just find it when we talk
00:23:07.820
about it, it sounds like we're talking about like the government here, but no. Can you interrupt me
00:23:12.520
more often? I love it when you talk. I do not think people want to keep hearing me, hear me talk
00:23:18.440
the whole time. I do. Come on, continue. Sorry. So then you, when they asked you that, you were like,
00:23:24.880
no, we're not talking about this. We're not, but I actually said I have, I have what's similar to
00:23:30.800
the reporter's privilege. And that's it. Even if someone had, and I'm not saying anyone did,
00:23:35.540
and I'm like, do you have any evidence? I'm like, I'm very open with my sources on my post. I give
00:23:40.660
people credit most. I'm like, can you even tell me what exclusive thing that I even posted? Because
00:23:46.940
everything I try, I try my best to highlight the creators, you know, cause you guys like you,
00:23:52.680
you do amazing job. Like to me, the way that I look at it is this, that we are all working as a
00:23:58.140
team. Like, then I asked her, I was like, could you, I need to know like what's going on. Give me
00:24:03.580
a sort, what are you, why am I here? You know, what basis are you connecting me to Andy? What post?
00:24:08.820
Tell me the post that you're so, that you're questioning about me. And they didn't answer
00:24:13.340
that question. All of a sudden, the partner of the firm, she kind of like, she comes in and she's
00:24:17.060
like, you know what, you know, thank you so much. And she's like, we'll get back to you.
00:24:22.080
Yeah, because I was, I was upset that I felt like it was turning into an interrogation.
00:24:27.260
You know, I thought I was here to negotiate the stipulation of withdrawal, you know, but they're
00:24:33.100
instead asking me, you know, I thought they were like, I'm willing to just withdraw. And I was,
00:24:38.280
I thought that was what the meeting was about. So in the meeting, it really felt like, and here's
00:24:43.100
something I'm being very honest about, which I think is wrong. Look, like I said, there's standards
00:24:47.620
for a subpoena. You cannot just subpoena everybody, right? So what it looks like she did, Blake Lively's
00:24:54.780
law firm sadly did, they had no relevance. They could have, they could have gotten this information
00:25:00.000
from the party. There wasn't a really compelling reason. And even if that was, it doesn't meet the
00:25:04.060
first, the first two prongs, they were trying to get relevance after the fact with those voluntary
00:25:11.300
questions they were asking me. So that's not how it works. You don't, and then, and why I think that's
00:25:16.680
problematic is most people are not going to have that attorney or counsel, that knowledge or
00:25:20.400
understanding. So there is like, as I'm thinking about this, I, there's a couple of things I wanted
00:25:26.820
to say that. So when that meeting ends, she was willing to withdraw and guess what they did?
00:25:32.920
They sent me an email. First, they sent me an email saying that we're going to withdraw your account,
00:25:38.280
you know, basically because I just answered their question that I wasn't involved, you know,
00:25:43.480
and that was enough for them. And then, um, uh, then they sent me, then I said, then I asked them,
00:25:50.300
Hey, would you be willing? Like, what about that stipulation that I was talking about? And I
00:25:54.100
explained in the email, what I would like in that so that we are in the meeting of the minds that if,
00:25:59.520
if we're agreeing to this withdrawal, like, would that be something I could sign? You can sign that
00:26:03.940
we both are in the same page. We can submit it to the court. And I sent an email explaining what I
00:26:09.080
would want the stipulation to include. And then they reply back, Sarah, like, okay, like, could you
00:26:14.220
draft one? So that means they were willing to, uh, do one, right? So then I take my time and I draft
00:26:21.000
one and guess what? Last second, I don't, I, maybe there's a power behind the partner of the firm,
00:26:26.920
you know, somebody comes in, they're like, Oh, we're not going to do that at all.
00:26:30.240
You know? And then I said, okay, well then I, then, uh, you, you operated in bad faith,
00:26:35.460
you know, I didn't like that. And then I just thought it was suspicious because then they sent me
00:26:41.440
an email that says here, this is the proof that we have that we withdrew your account. And when I
00:26:48.620
clicked on it, guess what it said? It was an email to Google, not to X.
00:26:57.440
So I'm like, were they, so I initially I was like, okay.
00:27:01.260
Did they think you were someone else the entire time or?
00:27:04.980
So it's like, yeah, that was like either your incompetence. I shouldn't say that. I take that
00:27:09.400
back. That's a little extreme. Maybe they're over there. They bit on more than they couldn't chew.
00:27:13.620
But I feel like this is what they've been doing the entire time. Uh, and I find it so suspicious
00:27:19.520
why they're dragging everyone into it. And then they're saying that, Oh, we got what we needed and
00:27:24.380
no one gave them anything. So I think there is like some kind of alternative plan here, uh, that
00:27:31.580
they wanted our information. Uh, and now they have your email, your full name and your home address.
00:27:40.040
I don't know if they have yours in information, but they do have that from everyone who filed
00:27:45.200
the motion or that we're in touch with them. So what can they do with that information? Now I was
00:27:51.880
talking about this, some people are saying, you know, it's never going to happen, but that they
00:27:55.260
could go after people in their respective States and she can file a protective order against people
00:28:04.180
I actually think that's worse for her because, um, judge Lyman might as actually favorable to her,
00:28:09.340
but I don't think other judges will be, you know what I mean? And, uh, California, for example,
00:28:14.100
has more protections for privacy than, uh, so I actually think it won't be as favorable for her
00:28:20.500
if that's what her plan is. I don't want my reputation to be harmed because you made implications
00:28:25.940
that we were involved, you know, and in the email reply, this is what she said. And I think this is
00:28:32.020
going to be helpful to you. She goes that when we say that we got the information, it doesn't mean
00:28:39.640
that we got information to help with the smear camp campaign, but it's information that would
00:28:43.900
exclude you from being part of that. Yeah, I know. I know. I have an email.
00:28:48.940
Oh, how, how would they even get, how can they even say that? Because they didn't get any
00:28:56.960
information. Well, that was the information. This is so everything is like backwards in this case.
00:29:07.220
It's like they don't, they're trying to build a case around air. Like there's nothing there and
00:29:14.720
they're just trying to build things around it. I mean, it's so ridiculous at this point that you're
00:29:21.400
like, is this, are these grownups like doing this stuff? I mean, can I say something? I was
00:29:28.360
so disappointed. I felt like I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I wasted my time. If you
00:29:33.560
had no, like you shouldn't have asked me to draft it. If you did not want to agree to a stipulation,
00:29:38.160
this is not enough. This, this notice is not sufficient. You know, according to California law,
00:29:43.740
I gave you the benefit of doubt. I'm not entertaining this conversation with you anymore. Goodbye. And I'll be
00:29:48.960
filing. I was bad. And so then they emailed me back and it's like, okay, Gina, it seems like you
00:29:55.580
really want that notice. So what we'll do is, you know, cause I was pissed. I was like, if that same
00:30:00.700
day, cause they were working on the weekend, which I thought was hilarious. I felt bad, but then I'm
00:30:04.140
like, you want to know my personal opinion about them? I, I felt it was cordial. They were respectful
00:30:09.400
to me, but at the end of the day, I think the system is what I'm more mad at that they could do
00:30:15.340
these things and get away with it more than I'm individually upset with them. If that makes
00:30:19.840
sense, you know, cause the lawyers are going to do what a lawyer is going to do. They're going to
00:30:23.140
fight for that. And they're going to advocate for their client. They're not, they're not on our side.
00:30:26.620
We only, our attorneys are, we will be on our side. Right. Is it ethical? No, I still, even though
00:30:33.940
I will say maybe as a human being, they're all not horrible people at Blake's law firm.
00:30:38.840
That's great to know that. That's what I feel that they are. Cause I'm like, how can they do this to
00:30:46.380
people? Cause what they're doing right now, they're just terrorizing people. They're harassing people
00:30:51.080
every single day. I hope you are absolutely right. But you know what? I hope that they feel bad about
00:30:57.180
it. At least like you're saying, maybe they're not horrible people. So at least let's hope that
00:31:01.260
they feel a little bad about it. They are human beings. Yeah. But you know, Blake is also a human
00:31:07.080
being, but I don't think she has much empathy. So there are some certain people just don't have
00:31:16.840
the, uh, the ability to, you know, have empathy with others. And I feel like some attorneys probably
00:31:23.280
are like that. Can I tell you what I told them? I literally said it to their face. I'm like, you
00:31:27.340
make us lawyers look bad. And I'm very upset about that. I said it to them. Thank you. Thank you for all
00:31:34.200
of us for saying that. They're going to have private investigators. They're going to have fake
00:31:38.600
accounts, uh, Blake accounts, uh, and Justin Baldoni accounts. They're going to try to be this
00:31:44.220
pro Justin person on the internet, and they're going to get Intel on us. I do believe that even
00:31:50.920
if it was wrong Intel, that why she connected me to Andy, I don't know, maybe it could be literally
00:31:56.620
out of nowhere, but maybe it was a wrong Intel, a pro Justin Baldoni pretending to be a pro Justin
00:32:02.380
who was feeding them this weird information. We just have to be mindful. And I think we are often
00:32:08.160
so trusting to everybody. And we see the one thing, Oh, pro Justin Baldoni, everybody in the
00:32:13.760
pro Justin Baldoni is great. You know, be mindful, use your discernment skills. Thank you so much. I
00:32:19.760
hope I see you again here soon and then I'll follow you and we'll be in touch and everything and have a
00:32:24.780
good day. It's nighttime. It's dinner time here in Spain, but, um, yes, have a great day. Enjoy your dinner. Thank you.
00:32:32.380
Thank you so much to spiritual shift for sharing all of this. And as you could hear, she had some
00:32:36.760
good advice for you guys. If you are one of the 107, you should be careful. Don't have meetings
00:32:43.000
with her team. They're going to try and trick you into doing or saying something to make you look
00:32:48.560
guilty. So don't do that. Only communicate with her team via email, unless you have an attorney.
00:32:57.100
Anyways, thank you guys so much for watching. I really appreciate all your support. And if you
00:33:03.200
