Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Ep 14 Blake loses over Perez Hilton and Megyn Kelly is not holding back !!

00:00:00.000 where Blake Lively's lawyers deny that they actually subpoenaed Megyn Kelly.

00:00:12.020 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Sashdae Flohr, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:17.600 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. Today is usually my podcast day,

00:00:24.300 so I'm going to make this into a podcast, although I'm going to talk about all the

00:00:28.420 things that you hear me talk about most days, really every day. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's

00:00:34.600 legal feud because there's so much to talk about and I wanted to focus on that. And yesterday was

00:00:39.360 a little stressful because I had to bring Oscar to his dental cleaning and they pulled two teeth

00:00:45.940 out of his mouth and he's feeling a little bit like low energy today and he's a little bit traumatized

00:00:53.040 still, so I had to take extra good care of him. Anyways, there's so many updates here. First of

00:00:58.680 all, Paris Hilton was in court yesterday and it looked like it was going to be a terrible loss,

00:01:04.920 but then it was an amazing win, so I'm talking about that. And also Megyn Kelly was dragged into

00:01:11.460 this. We didn't know that she was subpoenaed and she is blasting Blake Lively. You won't believe 0.74

00:01:18.500 the things that she said about her. And also she showed my clip on her show and explained why she

00:01:26.260 decided to really dislike Blake Lively on her own. I also have a greeting from someone that was in

00:01:33.480 the courtroom that was following Perez Hilton's day when he was facing Blake Lively's three lawyers,

00:01:41.820 so stay tuned for that. First, I wanted to make something clear that I spoke about yesterday because

00:01:46.620 I did say that Blake Lively lied in her deposition and some people said, no, she wasn't really lying.

00:01:54.340 This could be like, you know, bending the truth kind of thing. So basically what I showed yesterday

00:02:00.860 was a little snippet from Blake Lively's deposition that Jed Wallace used against her, where his lawyer

00:02:09.620 asked her if she was familiar with the book, it ends with us, prior to accepting the role.

00:02:16.740 And she said, yes. And then I showed a video from Vogue where she said she'd never heard about the

00:02:22.140 book and she must be living under a rock. I actually didn't know the book, which I feel like I live under

00:02:27.480 a rock for not knowing that. I find these two statements to be very contradicting, but some people

00:02:33.380 are saying that her lawyers could argue that she hadn't heard of it when the project was first

00:02:38.760 brought to her. But then she had heard about it by the time she formally agreed to take on the role.

00:02:47.360 I do see this point and I do know how lawyers loves to twist things around. But the point here is

00:02:53.540 that Justin Baldoni's attorneys can argue that there are inconsistencies here, no matter what she says,

00:03:00.620 because the way they're going to put it is that she said under oath that she heard about the book,

00:03:05.460 but then she said in an interview that they can show that I've never heard about it. I must have

00:03:10.680 been living under a rock. So they could argue that she's saying one thing to the audience in interviews

00:03:16.760 and one thing under oath in court. Even if the lawyers try to spin the timeline here, it makes it look

00:03:24.880 messy and she would have to explain this. And juries don't really like messy explanations that 0.81

00:03:32.000 in itself damages her credibility. And Justin Baldoni's team can argue that she's not trustworthy

00:03:37.360 and that she's trying to bend the truth. They can use this. And that's the reason why they put it in

00:03:42.740 there because they could pick this up later and say, Hey, if she's willing to twist things around,

00:03:48.280 like she's doing in this tiny little segment here, can you imagine how she can twist the truth 1.00

00:03:54.800 in her lawsuits? She's willing to bend the truth for the smaller things. What is she willing to do

00:04:01.000 with the bigger things? So even though some people were pointing this out, which I'm really grateful

00:04:05.820 for, because I think we need to argue both sides here. I do think that this was a huge slip up and

00:04:12.940 is going to be used against her. Otherwise they would have never put it in there. And otherwise

00:04:17.720 the judge would never have allowed them to unseal that part of her deposition. All right. So let's

00:04:23.560 talk about Perez Hilton, who was in court yesterday in Nevada, in Las Vegas, uh, for a hearing.

00:04:30.460 It's the big day. I just showed up at the federal courthouse in my florals, surprised to see.

00:04:37.360 Peapod, I'm peapod. He was really nervous. He was being very honest and very vulnerable about this

00:04:42.340 position that he was put in by Blake Lively because he was representing himself, which makes

00:04:48.420 it obviously a lot more challenging when she's sending three attorneys to convince the judge in 1.00

00:04:54.800 the matter that he should actually send this case to the judge in New York. Judge Lyman, who we know

00:05:01.500 Perez Hilton is not a fan of. So Perez was super nervous. He attended wearing a floral jacket and some

00:05:10.000 people were outside waiting for him. One of them was Courtney Pruce, who sent me this beautiful photo

00:05:17.340 from the out, from outside of the courtroom. She later went inside the courtroom and she has a

00:05:22.500 little report for us. She said she was sitting on Perez's side in first row. And she said that

00:05:27.760 his side was packed with people. A lot of law students were there. And she said the judge was

00:05:33.080 very charismatic. But did he rule in Perez's favor? Hey, Shirstie, my name is Courtney. I was there

00:05:39.740 outside holding signs and in the courtroom today. And just wanted to say that Perez did a wonderful job.

00:05:47.680 You know, a lot of people were asking him how he was feeling. And he would say, you know, I'm

00:05:53.220 cautiously optimistic. The judge had swagger. He was he was a very charismatic man. But then,

00:06:00.520 you know, he did say that he was gonna have Lyman rule on the jurisdictional issue, which was pretty

00:06:09.440 upsetting. So I honestly thought Perez lost it. I didn't think Lyman would do the right thing. But

00:06:15.780 Lyman did. So overall, Perez did a great job. Lakeside seemed a little flustered because of the

00:06:25.360 pressure that the judge was putting on her counsel to prove why the jurisdictional rules,

00:06:34.280 the shield law doesn't apply and why it should be transferred. And they tried to cite California law.

00:06:40.620 They tried to cite that Perez had a California address. So Nevada law didn't apply, which Perez is

00:06:47.960 a resident of Nevada. So thank you, Courtney, for sending me this video. It was 2am in Las Vegas

00:06:54.020 when I messaged with her and asked her if she could send me a video. So I really appreciate that you

00:07:00.460 did that in the middle of the night, basically. And I think it means so much to Perez that you

00:07:05.560 actually did that and you were there to support him. So if you follow this case closely, you know

00:07:10.880 that Perez is trying to fight Blake Lively in his own home state because the rules to protect

00:07:18.160 journalists are much stricter in Nevada than they are in New York. And Blake Lively's team have been

00:07:23.560 arguing that he's not a real journalist. And they were trying to argue this yesterday. But then the

00:07:29.100 judge said, you know, this is not what we're here for today. The only reason they were there were to

00:07:32.900 decide if the judge should give the judge in New York Perez Hilton's case. He decided to do that.

00:07:40.880 And Perez was devastated. He was like, I lost this. There's no way anything's going to come from

00:07:47.220 this now. It's up to Judge Lyman. He doesn't like me. But then guess what happened? Judge Lyman did the

00:07:54.920 most unexpected thing. I think no one was expecting this. He wrote a seven page letter to support Perez

00:08:02.660 Hilton and say that he does not have jurisdiction over him. And Perez is representing himself. So he's going

00:08:09.840 to give him also the benefit of the doubts. So he's sending the case back to Nevada, which is a huge

00:08:17.060 win for Perez. So congratulations to Perez for doing this on his own. It's not over yet. Obviously,

00:08:25.580 he has to come back on Tuesday and actually fight the subpoena in itself. But now with the rules in

00:08:32.300 Nevada, hopefully it will be settled right there and then. And Blake Lively will not have access to

00:08:39.180 any sources or anything that has to do with Perez Hilton that she cannot access from the other people

00:08:45.720 she subpoenaed. Like Perez was saying yesterday, you know, she already could get this information if she

00:08:52.100 thinks there's any value in it from the people she's subpoenaing on Justin Baldoni's side. If they had any

00:08:59.360 communication with him, they should leave that over. They're part of the lawsuit. He's not.

00:09:04.900 Oh my God. Judge Lyman just ruled and he proved me wrong.

00:09:16.660 Also, I received so many emails from people yesterday that Megyn Kelly has been subpoenaed as well.

00:09:22.780 I had no idea about it. And Megyn Kelly is furious. She's not being shy about how she really feels 0.54

00:09:33.060 about Blake Lively. But before I get more into that, I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video,

00:09:40.000 One Skin. If you're like me, you're careful about what you put on your skin. And that's why I always

00:11:21.960 they'll ask you where you heard about them. So please support my channel by telling them that

00:11:25.880 I sent you. All right, let's go back to Megyn Kelly's subpoena and all her adjectives that she 0.50

00:11:31.960 used to describe Blake Lively. Here we go.

00:11:35.240 I am a member of the press. You are a sad, pathetic, untalented, narcissistic bully. 1.00

00:11:41.000 Blake Lively acts like an unlikable bully brat who cannot believe any of that negative press could 1.00

00:11:46.480 possibly be genuine. She's a liar. Blake Lively is a narcissistic liar, bully brat. 1.00

00:11:55.080 Also, Megyn Kelly used my interview to explain why she started disliking Blake Lively. I know 1.00

00:12:02.260 Paris Hilton also did that. Clips like this one, where she bullied a reporter with no power 1.00

00:12:08.460 after the journalist had the nerve to compliment Blake's very obviously pregnant state. 0.93

00:12:14.600 First of all, congrats on your little bump. Congrats on your little bump.

00:12:22.100 So absurd. So that the reporter wasn't pregnant. She was belittled and she did feel insulted and she

00:12:27.580 spoke out about it after the fact. But Blake Lively couldn't be asked about the very obvious baby bump.

00:12:32.780 It's called being a reporter. She also interviewed some lawyers about this. And one of them was talking

00:12:37.820 about how he thinks that Blake Lively's lawyers are the one just dragging this out now because they

00:12:44.080 know that they can make so much money on this case. And I think he's right on the dollar with that.

00:12:49.040 This entire litigation train is probably being driven almost exclusively by the attorneys who

00:12:57.120 have a financial interest in the longevity and complexity of this litigation. It's almost like

00:13:04.640 a class action case where the only people that benefit are the lawyers.

00:13:08.720 But at the same time, Blake Lively is not asking them to stop because she still thinks that it's

00:13:14.400 impossible to dislike her without getting paid to do so. The media was picking this up everywhere.

00:13:19.840 And New York posted a story on it where Blake Lively's lawyers deny that they actually subpoenaed

00:13:28.000 Megyn Kelly. This is the kind of thing that they keep doing. The headline here, by the way, says

00:13:34.480 Megyn Kelly rips narcissistic bully Blake Lively for subpoenaing her in Justin Baldoni lawsuits.

00:13:40.400 gave her absolutely nothing. Yeah, to make sure that everyone understand that Megyn Kelly,

00:13:46.640 they quashed her subpoena and she gave them absolutely nothing. A spokesperson for Lively

00:13:53.200 told the New York Post that at no point in this litigation has Ms. Lively served a subpoena

00:13:59.200 on Megyn Kelly. Ms. Lively is continuing to pursue discovery in order to prove her case that Justin

00:14:05.600 Baldoni, Jed Wallace, Melissa Nathan and the Wayfair parties retaliated against her for speaking up

00:14:11.840 against the harassment she and others experienced on the set as alleged in her complaint. And then they

00:14:18.800 continue, seeking evidence through discovery is a normal part of the litigation process and is this

00:14:25.040 in addition to overwhelming amount of evidence already compiled in the form of Melissa Nathan's own

00:14:31.600 text messages. The recently exposed KDK's email describing Jed Wallace's services as well as the

00:14:39.600 invoices showing he was paid for those services and Baldoni's own request on what he wants his team to do.

00:14:47.200 These are the text messages that I showed you guys here on my channel and these are the text messages that

00:14:52.000 showed very clearly that this group of people were working to protect Justin Baldoni's reputation after

00:14:59.920 Blake Lively tried to tarnish it. They were only doing things to help push the narrative that Justin

00:15:06.000 Baldoni is innocent and he's a good guy. There were no text messages whatsoever, any evidence of anyone

00:15:13.440 saying that they should push any negative content about Blake Lively. There's none. So basically by denying

00:15:20.000 that they subpoenaed Megyn Kelly doesn't mean anything because they did subpoena her company and they asked

00:15:25.520 specifically for Megyn Kelly's conversations and communications and even her handouts, I think documents when

00:15:32.000 she invites guests on her show, they wanted to see that. They wanted to see reports from, you know, when they were

00:15:37.680 talking about how her show went afterwards. I mean, it was so ridiculous. It was so overbroad. It was so insane. 0.96

00:15:44.000 So I guess they could say that they didn't subpoena her directly at her home, at her home address,

00:15:49.360 but they did subpoena her company and her specifically. So this is just, again, an example of

00:15:54.480 how they bend the truth. Deadline did also do a story about this that really upset me, by the way.

00:16:02.720 So they're saying, Blake Lively insists no subpoena ever sent to Megyn Kelly in Justin Baldoni battle.

00:16:08.160 Another entitled nasty Hollywood snob, ex-Fox News host declares, out of it ends with a star.

00:16:16.560 So they're also angling this on the fact that Blake Lively denies sending a subpoena to Megyn Kelly.

00:16:22.400 And the reporter here, which is a man, which I'm going to make a point about, says,

00:16:26.480 the ongoing she said, he said. It's not he said, she said, he said. It's she said,

00:16:32.800 he brought all the receipts. Okay. It's more like she lied. He told the truth. And that's why we

00:16:39.600 believe him because we have all the evidence that says that Blake Lively is not telling the truth.

00:16:46.160 So the reporter here says that, however, with what certainly seems like some very distinct

00:16:51.840 blonde hair splitting, Lively sides insist Kelly dot protests too much. At no point in the litigation 1.00

00:16:59.760 has Ms. Lively served a subpoena on Megyn Kelly. So to describe this feud between the two of them, 0.92

00:17:05.520 he uses the word distinct blonde hair splitting, playing on the word hair splitting, but pointing

00:17:12.320 out that these two women are blonde. I actually find that pretty sexist. It plays on that old, 0.71

00:17:17.920 dumb, blonde stereotype that traditionally in history has been used to belittle women. He's 1.00

00:17:25.760 reducing women to their looks, to their hair color. Would he ever say brown hair splitting or

00:17:32.640 bold hair splitting? Would he ever use this about any men? I'm just playing the devil's advocate here

00:17:37.920 because what he's doing here is saying that, you know, making kind of a joke about this, which is,

00:17:42.880 it's not a joke to be subpoenaed. I've been subpoenaed. It's really awful.

00:17:47.600 And I don't think it's something that you should make jokes about being a reporter himself. He should

00:17:51.600 know better. Yeah. I don't like the way he's undermining the seriousness of the situation

00:17:55.600 for the people that were dragged into this being innocent, being non parties. Anyways,

00:18:01.120 that's it from you guys on a Friday. I hope you enjoyed this episode and I promise you

00:18:07.040 more amazing interviews are to come on my podcast on Fridays. So please stay tuned. Oscar is sending

00:18:14.080 his love to everyone. Right, Oscar? But he wants to remind everyone to subscribe to my channel if you
