00:00:00.000 Because the reality is they've been absolutely battered by this.
00:00:08.760 Hi and welcome to Plossum Talk.
00:00:10.560 I'm Sashdi Flore, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:13.360 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:17.620 Okay. Oh, Oscar.
00:00:19.520 What's really happening with Blake and Ryan's marriage?
00:00:24.000 Insiders are now spilling the truth about their struggle.
00:00:28.880 Also, experts are weighing in on Justin Baldoni's future
00:00:32.320 and what he has to do to get his career back on track.
00:00:36.040 And I can assure you, it is the exact opposite of what Blake Lively will do.
00:00:41.680 And let's talk about this clip,
00:00:43.820 this interview with Blake Lively, Colleen Hoover and Brandon Squenard,
00:00:48.040 and what Brandon said about Ryan Reynolds in this interview.
00:00:52.140 This explains everything.
00:00:54.420 Also, what Ryan wrote to Colleen Hoover in a text message 0.67
00:00:58.660 talking about how Sony was sucking his you-know-what.
00:01:03.560 Talking about shocking, Taylor Swift is getting married this weekend. 0.87
00:01:07.940 It's starting off tonight in Madison Square Garden.
00:01:11.700 1,100 people have RSVP'd, amongst them not Blake Lively
00:01:17.680 because you know she was not invited.
00:01:19.800 But the streets in New York are in full chaos right now
00:01:23.140 and people are furious. Let's also talk about Alex Cooper, the host of Call Your Daddy and how
00:01:30.780 her previous boss has come out and said that she and her co-host were planning to fake SH allegations
00:01:40.300 to get out of a contract. This is so bad and right out of Blake Lively's playbook. Okay, so let's get
00:01:47.320 to it so heat world has allegedly spoken to a lot of insiders who knows what's going on inside of
00:01:54.880 blake and ryan's marriage and they're saying that ryan and blake's marriage is under strain
00:02:00.580 as they're slammed for embarrassing photos so they start talking about this piggybacking this
00:02:07.460 arranged photo shoot that happened in new york a couple of weeks ago everyone was just laughing
00:02:12.600 thinking what are they doing and as they're pointing out here the only reason why you would
00:02:16.560 do something like that in public is to get attention which is what they get and of course
00:02:20.880 we all know that they called those paparazzi photographers beforehand it was all arranged
00:02:26.000 and it was supposed to fool everyone to believe that they're going strong they don't care about
00:02:31.280 just to build donny and of course they don't care if they're not invited to tell her swift's wedding
00:02:35.920 as they're saying here luckily for the two a-listers cameras were poised to capture these
00:02:40.660 playful moments and the pair even posed for selfies with fans and then they say you think
00:02:46.660 we'd believe it because let's be honest it was starting to feel like we were never going to hear
00:02:51.080 Blake Lively's name again unless it was firmly attached to Justin Baldoni and while it seems
00:02:56.440 that one huge hurdle is behind them the A-list darlings sources say behind the scenes the couple
00:03:03.440 are facing their own struggles I believe that is true although I don't believe that their
00:03:10.360 A-list darlings as they are referred to here. Blake was never an A-list. Blake was the best
00:03:17.440 scenario a C-list. Most people didn't know who she was when they started and try to imagine what
00:03:23.440 would be left of Blake's career if she divorced Ryan Reynolds. She would end up like Amber Heard 0.99
00:03:29.700 although I think it would definitely or will definitely be a very nasty divorce and maybe
00:03:35.900 also a very public one let's see what the insiders are saying here they're saying that the last thing
00:03:42.140 they want to talk about Blake and Ryan is for people to think the pressure is getting to them
00:03:47.140 but there is no denying it's been an incredibly difficult period putting on this over-the-top
00:03:52.560 show of being fun and carefree for the cameras is being seen as very contrived by those in their
00:03:58.260 orbit because the reality is they've been absolutely battered by this every time they
00:04:05.080 think they're turning a corner, another setback lands on their doorstep. As you know, Blake has
00:04:10.600 just asked for $8 million in attorney's fees and it's about to backfire on her big time. If you
00:04:17.120 watched my interview with Mark Garagos and Matt Murphy, two extremely seasoned attorneys, they are
00:04:23.880 guessing that she will get about $80,000 in attorney's fees and not $8 million. And we know
00:04:31.180 whatever the judge decides a lot of people are called him biased throughout this whole legal
00:04:36.080 feud but whatever he decides it's never ever going to be anywhere near even a million dollars so
00:04:42.940 those headlines are not going to be great and i can bet you in the moment the judge rules on this
00:04:48.440 blake and ryan will be on another date in new york city holding hands doing car wheels on the
00:04:56.040 sidewalk to get people's attention away from what's really happening then the insider is saying
00:05:01.120 that they finally got a win when the judge ordered Justin Sight to cover her legal fees,
00:05:05.640 and they're really trying to frame that as a huge victory, but no one's buying it. There's just no
00:05:11.100 denying the turmoil. This ordeal cost them. It completely upended their lives. They can make all
00:05:16.900 the happy social media posts and post for all the happy selfies, but of course this has taken a big
00:05:22.600 toll. Even the most solid marriage would feel the pressure under these circumstances. The question
00:05:27.880 is how much longer can they take it as i said before i believe there's a lot of bitterness here
00:05:34.340 because ryan will most definitely blame blake for a lot of the things that have happened and for him
00:05:40.880 having to close off the comment section on his instagram maybe forever and blake is probably
00:05:48.520 blaming ryan for telling her to just move forward and push forward and never to give up and just 0.96
00:05:55.300 double down on all the stupid things that her attorneys has done so far and he's also the one 0.94
00:06:00.820 pushing to get eight million dollars because let's be honest it was his money and also as i said 0.98
00:06:06.340 yesterday little girl attorney i was quoting her saying she also she believes that ryan was the one
00:06:13.400 behind the brief to get these attorneys fees he is a storyteller as you know it says here that while
00:06:20.320 ryan's involvement in the unraveling of blake and justin's working and personal relationship
00:06:25.000 is well documented. As Hollywood husbands go, he has to be applauded. Reynolds has steadfastly
00:06:31.780 maintained his loyalty to his wife in the face of any and all criticism. There's no doubt that
00:06:38.160 while they continue to attend red carpet events together, it's not been easy. I wouldn't say that
00:06:43.940 they continue to do and attend red carpet events together. The last time they were on a red carpet
00:06:50.160 together was in april of last year and that was the time 100 most influential list before that
00:06:57.940 was february when saturday night live was celebrating their 50th anniversary so it's been
00:07:04.200 way over a year since the two of them has attended anything publicly together and here's a funny quote
00:07:10.540 from someone saying that before all this happened with justin blake saw this movie as a major
00:07:15.500 comeback opportunity she was genuinely excited and believed it would make her a rom-com queen
00:07:20.700 and catapult her into a more prominent position in the hollywood pecking order it's so funny how
00:07:26.840 she thought a dv movie would make her a rom-com queen i think that says it all also it says
00:07:33.240 instead it turned into this epic fiasco that has damaged her reputation and spilled over onto ryan
00:07:40.060 as well and here the insider is saying that they're back on the drawing board trying to
00:07:45.080 figure out how to roll with the punches and rebuild from this so they're saying here they're
00:07:50.120 still trying to create this image for the public that they are united and staying together and
00:07:56.700 they're still so strong together and then the insider says but make no mistake things are grim
00:08:03.400 behind the scenes the whole situation weighs heavily on both of them it's no exaggeration
00:08:09.620 it was hanging over their lives like a black cloud it is so strange to me how this has been
00:08:17.960 hanging over them like a black cloud and but then when they finally took the opportunity and settled
00:08:23.600 this to get some peace in their lives they continue fighting it makes no sense to me it is 0.87
00:08:30.860 the dumbest pr move you can ever make it's so interesting also ryan claiming that he's the guru 0.62
00:08:37.640 of marketing and the way he has marketed his wife and himself since this started has been a complete 0.99
00:08:45.040 fiasco and then they're mentioning here that they still have four children to raise and that the
00:08:50.740 criticism is getting under their skin which i totally believe as well as you know ryan has
00:08:56.860 said in so many interviews that he needs constant validation i've seen that from a lot of actors
00:09:02.700 actually actors need to be validated a lot they have so many insecurities and Blake has talked
00:09:09.220 about her insecurities and you've seen a lot of her insecurities especially when it comes to her
00:09:13.760 own body that of course is something she weaponized against Justin Baldoni with the whole fat shaming
00:09:20.840 thing and all of that stuff and then they talk about how busy Ryan Reynolds is he's never home
00:09:26.720 I wonder why he doesn't really have to be in the UK all the time supporting Rexham.
00:09:33.680 I mean, they're doing this documentary.
00:09:35.200 I don't know how much he is in that documentary, but he's there as an audience member a lot.
00:09:42.040 And also how he went to Australia with Hugh Jackman for his sailing team and he's traveling all over for the sailing team.
00:09:49.660 He doesn't have to be there in person.
00:09:51.540 So I think he's just choosing to be as far away as possible from his wife.
00:09:57.880 And it also makes me wonder how much time he's actually spending with his kids.
00:10:02.040 Him just trying to portray himself as a supportive husband is just the biggest joke ever.
00:10:09.500 Okay, so let's talk about Justin Baldoni's comeback.
00:10:12.340 Every person that I've spoken to about comebacks have said the same thing.
00:10:17.560 The only way you can come back from a scandal in Hollywood is to disappear for a little while.
00:10:25.220 As you know, Justin has basically disappeared since this happened.
00:10:28.940 He's been gone for one and a half years now, while Blake Lively has done the exact opposite of that.
00:10:36.540 And I believe that she will continue to do the exact opposite of that,
00:10:41.380 although everyone will be telling her that that is the only way you can come back
00:10:46.640 is to just disappear for a couple of years.
00:10:49.500 Anyways, it says here in this article that
00:10:51.660 is Justin Baldoni making a comeback?
00:10:53.760 PR experts weigh in on strategy after Blake Lively lawsuit.
00:10:58.480 With legal proceedings over,
00:10:59.900 attention has shifted from the courtroom
00:11:01.680 to Baldoni's next creative projects.
00:11:04.760 Justin's next career movie is expected to focus on patience
00:11:08.360 rather than immediate return to Hollywood.
00:11:11.460 With public relations, experts suggesting that time and quality work
00:11:15.620 will be key to rebuilding his reputation.
00:11:19.880 The actor and filmmaker has largely remained out of the spotlight
00:11:23.020 following the conclusion of this legal dispute with Blake Lively.
00:11:26.440 He's been following advice and maybe he didn't really want to be in the public eye.
00:11:30.200 Why would he want extra pressure?
00:11:32.040 Why would he want extra headlines?
00:11:33.900 It would only give an opportunity for Blake and her team
00:11:37.060 to trash him in the media even further
00:11:40.000 and to continue their smear campaign against him.
00:11:42.840 Here they're saying, even though the settlement brought the courtroom battle to an end,
00:11:46.760 industry observers believe Baldoni still faces the challenge of restoring confidence
00:11:51.960 among studios, collaborators, and audiences.
00:11:56.120 As you know, in Hollywood, it's all about money.
00:11:59.400 They have no moral compass in Hollywood.
00:12:02.100 So as soon as they believe that they can make money off you, you're back in.
00:12:06.300 They talked to a PR expert here called Mark Barkovsky,
00:12:09.680 who said that Baldoni's best approach
00:12:13.280 is to avoid rushing back into the public eye.
00:12:16.260 Justin's only route back is to make something good
00:12:18.620 and be quiet for two years, Barovsky said.
00:12:21.820 He's already been quiet for one and a half years.
00:12:24.380 Two more years, I don't agree with that.
00:12:27.700 I think the public is ready for Justin's comeback
00:12:31.600 and hopefully a studio will see that.
00:12:34.660 And also, as I said before,
00:12:36.080 Justin Baldoni doesn't need a big studio to back him.
00:12:38.760 Steve Sarowitz is a billionaire and he is an investor in the Wayfair production company so
00:12:45.720 he doesn't really need a big studio he can make a movie and take it to a film festival
00:12:50.160 and get a distributor that way here is another communication expert his name is David Johnson
00:12:56.420 and he has a similar assessment arguing that recovery from a high profile controversy depends
00:13:03.160 on avoiding future disputes, continuing to produce strong work
00:13:07.580 and allowing public opinion to shift naturally over time.
00:13:13.560 Justin Baldoni doesn't need the public opinion to shift naturally.
00:13:17.120 This guy obviously hasn't really followed this case
00:13:19.940 and doesn't know what the public opinion is 0.65
00:13:22.680 because the public opinion is that Blake Lively is a liar
00:13:26.120 and Justin Baldoni is a victim.
00:13:27.940 So that natural shift happened as soon as Justin Baldoni filed his countersuit against Blake Lively.
00:13:35.640 Anyway, it also says here that although reports have suggested he remains interested in future filmmaking opportunities,
00:13:42.760 no official plans have been confirmed.
00:13:46.340 My insider tells me that Justin will definitely continue to make movies,
00:13:51.520 so we don't have to worry about that at all.
00:13:54.320 as soon as he finds the right project, he will jump on it. 0.70
00:13:59.040 Anyways, let's talk about Taylor Swift's over-the-top insane wedding
00:14:02.760 that is starting today.
00:14:05.080 And I can't wait to show you this clip that I found
00:14:07.340 of Brandon Sklennar and Blake Lively in an interview
00:14:09.680 talking about Ryan Reynolds
00:14:11.460 and the disturbing text that Ryan Reynolds sent to Colleen Hoover.
00:14:15.860 And let's talk about the podcast host Alex Cooper and Sophia Franklin's plans
00:14:20.560 to falsely accuse the owner of their podcast of SH to get out of the contract.
00:14:25.900 This is so explosive.
00:14:27.260 But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video, Lola Blankets.
00:14:33.020 If you followed me for a while, you know how much I love my Lola Blankets.
00:14:38.740 I remember the feeling of receiving my first Lola Blanket.
00:14:42.580 I was like, now I understand why they call this the number one blanket in the world.
00:14:47.100 It's honestly the softest thing I have ever felt.
00:14:51.180 Even after Oscar had a bath, Lola is still softer.
00:14:55.580 Don't tell him.
00:14:56.520 One of my favorite things about these blankets are that they're so big.
00:15:00.200 It easily fits both me and Magnus and Oscar at the same time.
00:15:04.300 And on top of being really soft, it looks so beautiful in our home.
00:15:08.180 It instantly just makes the room look warmer and cozier.
00:15:12.340 And since I'm Norwegian, I know what cozy looks like.
00:15:15.700 And the texture and colors fit with pretty much any style or decor.
00:15:21.020 Another reason why I'm allowing Oscar to be on my blankets is because they're washable.
00:15:26.860 They don't shed, there's no peeling.
00:15:29.100 They look exactly the same wash after wash.
00:15:33.220 Also, I have to mention what a great gift these are.
00:15:36.280 Every person that's been to our apartment and touches these blankets are like,
00:15:40.080 oh my gosh, this is the softest blanket I've ever felt.
00:15:43.080 So whether it's for a wedding, a housewarming, a birthday gift, or if you just want to gift yourself something nice,
00:15:50.240 you can never really go wrong with the Lola Blankets.
00:15:53.360 And for a limited time, you can get 40% off.
00:15:57.020 Select Lola Blanket products with my code FLO at checkout.
00:16:02.280 That's my last name.

00:16:07.460 After your purchase, they might ask where you heard about them.
00:16:09.900 so please mention my name to support my channel. Wrap yourself in luxury with Lola blankets.
00:16:16.920 Okay so let's get into it. So Taylor and Travis wedding is starting already today. This evening
00:16:25.080 in Madison Square Garden. I thought it was a joke. Who would get married in Madison Square Garden?
00:16:32.200 It's the most unromantic setting I can imagine. There's so many unromantic things about this
00:16:37.700 wedding if you ask me so apparently 1100 guests have rsvp'd already and everything has been so
00:16:46.000 secretive and they've been so worried that the guests are going to leak any information so
00:16:51.000 everyone has to so everyone had to sign an nda before attending the wedding and according to
00:16:59.160 this daily mail article every guest have received a printed invitation with a watermark that is
00:17:06.760 specific for them with their name so that no one could even leak the invitation to the wedding.
00:17:12.880 Talk about trusting your friends, by the way. Anyways, there are some paparazzi photos now
00:17:17.620 of guests arriving at JFK. Amongst them, Graham Norton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and I think Dua
00:17:24.080 Lipa. She's already in the big apple, it says here. But as I said, 1,100 people are going to
00:17:30.500 show up and now there are pictures from outside the arena where big trucks have arrived with a lot
00:17:37.640 of equipment and with a lot of lobsters apparently also a big truck from Krispy Kreme donuts was seen
00:17:45.580 outside but now some police officers and people working there started to leak information to the
00:17:52.200 press and it says here it's been suggested that a life-size castle is being built inside the arena
00:17:59.720 amid speculation swift is recreating the fairy tale setting of her 2008 love story music video
00:18:07.860 which saw the singer transformed as a medieval princess awaiting her suitor i feel like this is
00:18:15.160 so tacky i think one of the reasons why she's picked madison square garden for this is that
00:18:21.880 there can't be any helicopters no drones no paparazzi photographers from far away catching
00:18:28.260 any moments and i'm sure she has a deal with someone that she's going to sell all these photos
00:18:33.200 to so she can make all the money herself from this wedding i just feel like this whole idea
00:18:39.360 is so tacky and then oscar's leaving he thinks it's very unromantic as well anyways it says here
00:18:45.540 that 139 police officers have been assigned to oversee the monster bash including five lieutenants
00:18:52.580 and 14 surgeons so according to sources here two separate deployments of cops are scheduled
00:18:59.460 to guard the friday's revelries i think it's a rehearsal dinner or something tonight and then
00:19:05.640 the big wedding is tomorrow and they will report to madison square garden at 2 45 p.m eastern time
00:19:12.420 and a third deployment following 30 minutes later that may suggest that 3 15 p.m is when the busiest
00:19:20.620 or most crucial part of Friday's ceremony will be taking place okay sorry so that is tomorrow
00:19:27.420 so that's when this ceremony is taking place and today is the rehearsal dinner it says here that
00:19:34.040 none of them are religious so it's anticipated that it's going to be a civil ceremony and it
00:19:39.080 says here that for the happy couple the singer's private jet landed at Morristone airport in New
00:19:45.140 You're in New Jersey on Tuesday afternoon, 30 miles from her $50 million Tribeca townhouse.
00:19:52.220 You know who else lives in Tribeca?
00:19:54.300 Blake, Lively, and Ryan Reynolds.
00:19:56.520 I can assure you they're out of town this weekend,
00:19:59.020 and they are going to post some really romantic, happy 4th of July photos together.
00:20:06.260 People in New York are not excited about this, by the way,
00:20:09.240 because as you know, it's 4th of July weekend.
00:20:11.500 Super busy.
00:20:12.400 a lot of people are there and it is the world cup on top of that so there's a lot more people
00:20:17.480 in new york and then this and of course it says here that businesses in this area are really
00:20:24.540 frustrated because there's so much security so people won't have access to their stores so
00:20:30.380 they're going to lose a lot of money from this and apparently the traffic is already horrible
00:20:35.760 and now thinking that they will have 1100 guests arriving at this arena more or less at the same
00:20:42.380 time it's gonna be complete chaos it says here that the dress code for the
00:20:48.020 rehearsal dinner is cocktail attire and it's only family members and close
00:20:52.320 friends that are expected to attend this it's in a smaller part of Madison
00:20:56.060 Square Garden and today already the New York Police Department have ordered
00:21:00.140 officers to be present for her rehearsal from 1 p.m. so it's basically two day
00:21:06.980 celebration in Madison Square Garden to me this just sounds like the most
00:21:11.380 unromantic wedding ever. This is not celebrating love. This is just putting on a show and getting
00:21:19.320 as much attention as possible. Anyways, I'm sure I'm going to report a little bit more about this
00:21:24.440 wedding in the following days. But as I said in the beginning here, I found this clip, an interview
00:21:29.740 with Blake and Brandon Scolinaro, co-star In It Ends With Us, on YouTube this morning. And what
00:21:36.920 really stood out to me here was when the host of Fandango, I think it was a Fandango interview,
00:21:43.260 told Blake Lively that she has basically another favorite when it comes to romance in movies,
00:21:49.760 another favorite Ryan, and that was Ryan Gosling. But she also said that when looking at Blake,
00:21:55.780 she could just look at Blake looking at her co-star in the film, thinking that she's like
00:22:02.520 the queen of whatever staring having a romantic stare or whatever but anyways blake was a little
00:22:09.060 taken aback that ryan venos was not her most favorite like romantic stare person in hollywood
00:22:16.520 i think my ryan is the king he's so romantic and then brandon splenar took over the conversation
00:22:24.780 and he said this gosling's got that stare thing for sure he does that stare so you're also not
00:22:31.720 voting for my ryan well i think ryan is incredibly romantic by the the the i mean the way he whines
00:22:40.120 and dines me yes he's so romantic the way he whines and dines me that explains so much to me
00:22:48.100 of course it wasn't only blake who was sucking up to brandon squenor making him part of their team
00:22:55.340 as you know justin baldoni said in text messages that he was so shocked that brandon all of a
00:23:01.020 sudden turned against him. Nothing had happened between them. And he was like, we were like
00:23:05.660 brothers. They became really close friends. And I think that's one of the things that really hurt
00:23:10.760 Justin the most, that Brandon just turned his back on him. And now we know why. Ryan Reynolds
00:23:16.840 was whining and dining him. And of course, we've seen the fruition of that relationship already,
00:23:24.260 looking at Brandon Sklenar's glooming career.
00:23:28.420 We also saw photos of Brandon Sklenar
00:23:31.320 attending dinners with Blake and the rest of her dragons,
00:23:35.520 one of them being Ryan Reynolds' mom. 0.98
00:23:38.820 Yeah, way to manipulate people.
00:23:41.240 Also, someone sent me this text message.
00:23:43.920 I've seen this before and I talked about it before,
00:23:46.220 but I didn't pause to actually think about what he is saying here.
00:23:50.600 So this is a text that Ryan Reynolds sent to Colleen,
00:23:54.080 hoover after the premiere he sent this really long kiss-ass bomb loving email to her saying that
00:24:01.440 you know we adore you we love you blah blah blah like he always does to people and then he says
00:24:07.320 this colleen i'm sending you literally every form of congratulation under the sky sky while jumping
00:24:15.200 up and down and rapidly happy clapping at one point i was three feet away from you at the after
00:24:21.740 party but I wasn't able to extricate myself from the Sony studio chairman's mouth. I'm still in
00:24:30.340 here and a little shocked I have service. As this person pointed out to me in this comment is Ryan
00:24:37.820 suggesting that Sony is sucking his you know what? I believe this is what he's referring to in this 0.96
00:24:44.600 comment as it tracks with other comments he's made as well as tracking with his own narcissistic
00:24:49.400 self. What do you think? I don't think Sony noticed this comment. I don't think they want to be known
00:24:55.460 as a studio that sucks Ryan's you know what. Very interesting. I don't know how I missed this the 0.95
00:25:01.720 first time. The thing is we saw so many text messages and emails from Ryan and as you know
00:25:06.300 he loves storytelling. So he just writes the longest longest longest text messages and emails
00:25:12.660 and for some reason I missed this. But I think definitely this person is right here saying that
00:25:18.680 That is exactly what Ryan meant.
00:25:21.720 Yeah, I'm sure Sony Studios chairman was really happy when he read that text message,
00:25:28.000 because as you know, this was all shared publicly in the court dockets.
00:25:33.040 Okay, as I mentioned in the beginning, I also wanted to talk quickly about this story that
00:25:37.680 just dropped.
00:25:38.720 So Call Your Daddy is one of the biggest podcasts out there.
00:25:42.240 And today it's only Alex Cooper hosting that podcast.
00:25:45.760 but she was joined with another co-host called Sophia Franklin when this podcast took off but
00:25:52.260 before she exited and started her own podcast with the same name she got the IP with her
00:25:57.740 she was under Barstool Sports and David Portnoy is the media mogul who owned Barstool. So now he
00:26:08.320 has come out with a book called Cancel Me If You Can and in this book he's revealing that he got
00:26:17.220 information that Alex Cooper and Sophia Franklin wanted to exit Barstool and start on their own
00:26:25.980 to make more money and when he didn't allow them to cancel their contract and bring their IP with
00:26:33.700 them, they had colluded behind his back to accuse him of SH. It says here in the Hollywood Reporter
00:26:42.540 that Portnoy makes the claim in the Wall Street Journal interview that Cooper told him that she
00:26:49.360 and Franklin had a plan to say they were SH'd at Barstool to get out of their contracts. For
00:26:56.300 context, Barstool as a company and Portnoy personally have consistently been accused of
00:27:02.020 peddling misogyny over the years that's interesting information but at the same time
00:27:06.840 misogyny is not the same as sh it says here that also in the interview portnoy confirms that cooper
00:27:13.960 and franklin hated each other after the duo left barstool they engaged in a public battle that saw
00:27:19.980 them go their separate ways flat franklin would start her own podcast sofia with an f and cooper
00:27:26.260 would continue using call her daddy brand and establish herself as a media mogul with her
00:27:31.260 company the end the unwell network if you follow the controversies surrounding call her daddy and
00:27:38.660 alex cooper lately there were a lot of people coming forward saying that she had created a
00:27:43.800 toxic environment and especially her husband who's also running things behind the scenes for her
00:27:50.100 was accused by multiple people to create a horrible working environment i'm sure there's a lot more
00:27:56.040 information here we don't know yet but I think this is quite interesting thinking about Blake
00:28:01.400 Lively's playbook and how she used SH to take over Justin Baldoni's movie and as I mentioned a few
00:28:08.220 weeks ago I was referring to an attorney who was writing a lot of articles on Substack about the
00:28:14.760 drama of It Ends With Us and Blake Lively's lawsuit and he was suggesting that there's been a lot more
00:28:20.740 of these cases lately women who are falsely accusing their boss or the company of s age
00:28:27.320 or more serious things because they're unhappy with some business decisions so the fact now 0.90
00:28:33.540 when blake is dropping this bomb of eight million dollars that she wants in attorney's fees
00:28:40.000 don't you think that's going to encourage even more people to accuse people falsely of s age
00:28:46.940 when they know that they will be protected by this Me Too law.
00:28:51.160 And of course, for the accused,
00:28:53.700 knowing that someone could even try to get $8 million in attorney's fees from them is so scary.
00:29:01.160 So yeah, not only has Blake Lively done a lot of damage to real victims,
00:29:05.640 but she has also encouraged more fake victims to take advantage of the legal system.
00:29:12.460 Anyways, that's it for me today, you guys.
00:29:14.560 I really hope you enjoyed this episode.
