00:01:58.540So, this website is actually called thelist.com and they have a lot of lists on there.
00:02:05.400And this one is particularly about Blake Lively's ego and how it has hurt her career.
00:02:11.840They start off with the interview that I did with Blake Lively.
00:02:15.660They're saying here in this article, as many people will tell you, the way you treat other people says a lot about you.
00:02:21.220And the Hollywood star has proven time and time again she can be ruthless when someone bruises her ego.
00:02:27.940I feel like someone like Blake Lively, she makes sure to treat people that she needs and that she wants in her orbit to treat them really well.
00:02:37.400And then she doesn't care about how she treats people that she sees as below her.
00:02:42.360And I was one of those people and here they talk about the time she decided to ignore the journalist.
00:02:48.860And they go through my interview that I started off saying congrats on your little bump and blah, blah, blah.
00:02:54.260And they added something that I liked here where they said,
00:03:21.060And I think a lot of people don't really realize the pressure you're under as a journalist when you do these type of interviews.
00:03:27.540I was always told by the editor of the TV show I worked for to get personal quotes.
00:03:33.280The TV show I worked for was focusing more on the celebrity aspect of things and not the movies.
00:03:39.660And the publicists and the studios knew that when they gave me the slot.
00:03:43.300Okay, this is what she's probably going to go for because that is the publication she's here to interview for.
00:03:49.120But of course, they want to have control over this.
00:03:51.680And it's so funny to me, I've spoken about this before, how everyone's interest is in conflict in these situations.
00:03:57.900Because the movie studio just wants a lot of publicity for the movie.
00:04:02.160They don't care what kind of questions you ask.
00:04:04.440They just want this movie to get attention somehow.
00:04:08.140And then you have the publicist who's there to protect the actor who's sitting there.
00:04:13.040And they don't want them to say anything stupid that can backfire on them.
00:04:17.100And then you have the journalist who has their agenda and who has to ask questions that fits the publications they're there to interview for.
00:04:25.980And some of them have already gotten questions from the outlet that they're covering this junket for.
00:04:33.300And most of the times, these interests don't really align.
00:04:37.680And that's why it sometimes gets messy.
00:04:40.620As I said before, I think it's really strange that they actually let me keep the interview I did with Blake Lively.
00:04:46.980Because most of the time, if the talent is not behaving right, they will confiscate the interview so it will never be shown to the public.
00:04:57.820For some reason, Leslie Sloan probably thought that this was completely normal behavior because Blake behaves like this all the time and no one really reacts to it as far as she knows.
00:05:10.420Anyways, the list goes on here and it mentions the other journalist that she spoke to during the promotional events with us when he asked her, you know, what do you say to fans when they come up to you and they want to talk about the movie?
00:05:21.620And she said, I'm asking for like my address or my phone number or like my location share.
00:05:27.220I could just location share you and then we could.
00:05:30.540I'm sure all of you guys remember that one.
00:05:35.320Also, they mentioned the Leighton Meester episode when she was on stage with the cast from Gossip Girl and she called all of them monkeys.
00:05:43.580And then she added that some of us started in a cage, which was a dig at Leighton Meester who was born in prison because her mom was in prison.
00:05:53.000So, of course, not a very nice thing to do to your co-star.
00:05:56.060And then the list goes on to how she promoted her brands during It Ends With Us and how she also cross-promoted a movie about DV with Deadpool vs. Wolverine, which was also very tone deaf.
00:06:10.700And then they go on to talk about her co-star, Brendan Sklenar, when they were interviewed together.
00:06:16.040And this journalist asked how, you know, they found that chemistry and it turned really awkward.
00:06:21.240And she was like, can't you just say really nice things about me?
00:06:24.640What made it so easy to fall in love on screen?
00:08:00.840And then the judge postponed the lawsuit with two months because he had other more important cases, criminal cases to take care of.
00:08:07.820And I'm sure that the studio didn't think about this.
00:08:10.800And now that the lawsuit has been postponed until May 18th, I think it is, it's not going to be a good look for this movie to have Ryan Reynolds on the red carpet pushing this movie just a couple of weeks before this huge trial is supposed to happen.
00:08:27.340I don't know if that's the official reason.
00:08:31.140But it says that the new premiere of Animal Friends is going to be June 4th, 2027.
00:08:38.820So let's see if this lawsuit is still going on June 4th, 2027.
00:08:45.420Because as you know, Justin Baldoni and the Wayfair parties are planning to appeal their lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloan and the New York Times.
00:08:56.500So maybe Animal Friends will be moved to 2030 in the end.
00:09:00.540Who knows if we're ever going to be able to see this movie or if anyone actually wants to watch it.
00:09:07.440Also, one of my friends here in LA told me yesterday that she was supposed to interview Ryan Reynolds for May Day, this new Apple TV movie.
00:09:15.200And her editor just told her that the long lead just got postponed into mid-April.
00:09:21.380He was also supposed to attend the Apple Days when they promoted all their new projects.
00:09:27.040That happened here in LA like three or four weeks ago.
00:09:30.040And he was on the schedule to be on stage and talk about this movie and he never showed up.
00:09:36.000Also, a big thank you, Lotta, for sending me this.
00:09:38.520She is in Sweden and she keeps sending me these numbers from Blake Lively, Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds' Instagram.
00:11:02.860Yeah, I don't know what happened there.
00:11:04.220Why all of these people all of a sudden started following Blake.
00:11:07.720Anyways, let's look more into the communications that went on behind Justin's back and with Justin and his team when Blake and Ryan obviously already had plans to take him down.
00:12:32.740It was the performance of a Lifetime original movie talking about Justin Baldoni when he was devastated and came into a trailer and talked to her.
00:12:42.020And she was mocking him because he was so devastated that he started crying.
00:12:46.760Just imagine when the jury reads these messages, by the way, the way she's talking about him sobbing and mocking him.
00:12:54.640And she's supposed to be a powerless victim here.
00:13:23.800She has he has no idea what is getting ready to hit him.
00:13:27.300What did Blake Lively tell Louis at this point?
00:13:33.080Maybe they already spoke on the phone or something happened before this, obviously, because she knows that they are planning something here.
00:13:40.700And she says, and I bet the wife is dealing with a totally different person than he professes to be on Instagram.
00:13:48.240Me thinks you have a bit of a narcissist on your hands, but I think you've got it covered.
00:13:52.560Again, please, please gloat when it happens.
00:13:58.600When they're taking him down, did she tell her already that they were planning to sue him for S.H.?
00:14:07.380And then we have a text exchange between Justin Baldoni and Jennifer Abel, his publicist, where Justin says this is on 17th of May in 2024.
00:14:52.620So he's saying here that he's really worried that Blake is going to unfollow him because the public will pick up on it.
00:14:58.720Everyone knows that the public will pick up on something like that.
00:15:02.960And I remember at a later text message, Justin said to Jennifer Abel or someone on his team that Ryan had unblocked him again because he probably wanted to spy on him.
00:15:13.760Jennifer Abel's response there to say he blocked you.
00:17:01.400I spoke a lot about that yesterday in my episode, if you missed that.
00:17:04.920In that same text, by the way, Blake just love bumps Jenny.
00:17:08.660I've never seen anything so kissy-assy as this message that she's sending to Jenny is like this long.
00:17:17.720Blake goes, all that said, you're so stunning in the movie.
00:17:21.800I can't wait for the other, more sociotally discussed versions of success to further roar around you like a gust of wind coming across your fire.
00:17:32.940And she says, they will be chasing after your light, Jenny, begging to get you on screen more, bringing their work to life like only you can.
00:17:48.580It's just nice that your talent will reach so many people with this movie and that they appreciate you because what you do in this movie genuinely helps people.
00:17:58.480It's obnoxiously earnest sounding, but it's true.
