00:00:00.000 Do not try to find this video.
00:00:07.580 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Tashli Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice
00:00:13.020 of reason in a town built on delusion. Okay, I don't know exactly how to start off this episode
00:00:20.520 today. I've tried a few times already and I'm like, how do we talk about something like this?
00:00:26.100 something that just happens so last night perez hilton did a live stream of himself trying to
00:00:34.620 harm himself a lot of people watched that video and i just want to tell everyone before i even
00:00:41.840 start talking about it do not try to find this video do not even look at screenshots from that
00:00:49.060 video because it is deeply deeply disturbing also in this episode i wanted to talk about an
00:00:55.740 interview that Scott Eastwood just did with Dax Shepard and they discussed one of Scott Eastwood's
00:01:02.780 most disturbing experiences on a film set and how Hollywood and the film industry attracts
00:01:10.660 psychopaths. Yeah this episode is not going to be very uplifting and I have to say I'm sorry about
00:01:17.260 that before we start anything. I also want to mention that there are people in this comment
00:01:22.440 section sometimes trying to scam you pretending to be me so if you see someone giving you a
00:01:28.560 whatsapp number asking you to contact them pretending to be me please report it so no one
00:01:33.780 ends up being scammed okay so let's talk about perez hilton if you followed me for a while you
00:01:40.060 might know that he was on my channel last year it's about a year ago now i know he's had a journey
00:01:45.400 with ups and downs for the majority of my career because I was so selfish
00:01:56.280 because I didn't care who I hurt I just cared about the views the attention the money
00:02:02.740 people hated me some people enjoyed it but it felt like most people hated me
00:02:12.420 And only a few months ago, he was hospitalized and he suffered from sepsis, which is a serious condition.
00:02:18.620 But then he went back online.
00:02:20.940 He kept doing his videos on Instagram and TikTok and YouTube.
00:02:25.440 And I just noticed that only a day ago, Perez Hilton posted a video sharing his concerns about Ariana Grande.
00:02:35.160 A lot of people care and are concerned about Ariana Grande.
00:02:39.740 day. I would consider myself one of them. And she is addressing all of the chatter about her health
00:02:47.700 directly and wishing her the best and wishing anyone out there that's hurting the best as well.
00:02:57.820 Okay, so what happened in the next 24 hours? Luckily, last night, I was asleep when this
00:03:06.780 happened because I'm here in Spain right now but when I woke up this morning my social media was
00:03:13.300 exploding with people warning about Perez Hilton's latest live stream so I'm not going to go into
00:03:21.960 details of what this live stream was I'm just going to give you a little idea he had no clothes
00:03:28.360 on while he was harming himself saying mean things about himself to the people watching what's really
00:03:35.320 really troubling about this apart from of course his mental health struggles here is that people
00:03:42.200 were able to watch this for 30 minutes on tiktok and because a lot of people were shocked by this
00:03:49.460 a lot of people started watching it and the algorithm kept pushing this video so who knows
00:03:56.740 how many teenagers how many young people how many people in general actually watched this video
00:04:02.640 before it was taken down i've heard from people who watched it who says that this is the most
00:04:09.200 traumatizing thing they've ever seen on the internet luckily a lot of people called the
00:04:14.900 authorities and they came to his house and after some negotiations with him they managed to talk
00:04:22.500 him out of it and he left in an ambulance and he's now getting help we don't know about his physical
00:04:29.160 or mental condition at this time but we do know that his three children and his mom who he lives
00:04:35.660 with in Florida were not at the house at the time when this happened and now people are really
00:04:42.580 reacting to how social media could let this happen how could they allow this to go on for 30 whole
00:04:50.540 minutes we don't have the answers yet I know from people who contacted me said they said that they
00:04:57.020 tried to report the video several times so i don't know what was going on in perez hilton's mind as i
00:05:04.040 just showed you the video he posted a day earlier he seemed totally fine i don't know what triggered
00:05:09.800 this and no one really knows at this point except from perez maybe himself and i'm sure we're going
00:05:15.500 to get some more answers here what is really scary about this incident to me is that we've seen mental
00:05:22.480 breakdowns before, but we've never witnessed it happen in real time. We saw the paparazzi photos
00:05:29.600 of Britney Spears when she was shaving her head. Images were shared in newspapers online and by
00:05:37.420 Perez himself. But now that we get to participate and watch this happen in real life, that is on
00:05:47.540 another level of disturbing. I'm so glad that I never watched that video because I'm one of those
00:05:53.500 people who get curious about things and as a journalist as well I have this urge to investigate
00:05:59.320 things. So as soon as I heard don't watch that video the first thing I did was go online and
00:06:05.140 try to find it. So I'm just telling everyone here from what I've seen this blurry little thing
00:06:10.500 don't even go there please don't try anyways i wanted to say that i wish perez hilton all the
00:06:18.360 best and i really hope that he can recover i hope the best for his children for his mom for his
00:06:24.960 friends and other family members and everyone that loves him and i also hope that he won't be
00:06:30.900 back on social media and talk about this because i really think that he needs to log off maybe for
00:06:37.560 good and take care of his mental health. Because he's not only harming himself here, he's also
00:06:43.780 harming other people. And I'm not blaming him. I'm just saying that no one deserved to be part
00:06:48.600 of that mental breakdown that he had. And I hope people can recover from actually having to see
00:06:54.600 that. You know, actually, I'm so thankful to a lot of your community, and my community and people
00:07:02.160 that I don't know who have supported me anyways let's talk about Scott Eastwood Clint Eastwood's
00:07:11.220 son he's been in a few movies already he made a name for himself by now and he was on Dax Shepard's
00:07:18.680 podcast a couple days ago where he talked about a lot of things from his career and then he
00:07:24.120 mentioned an episode that he had on the set of the movie Fury with Brad Pitt where he had an episode
00:07:30.980 with Shia LaBeouf and almost got into a physical fight with him.
00:07:35.100 And then they start talking about the industry
00:07:38.780 and what kind of people that Hollywood or the film industry attract.
00:07:44.340 And that's when I thought this got really, really interesting.
00:07:46.720 It's funny, the film industry is like, it attracts psychopaths
00:07:50.760 because it's art, right?
00:07:52.920 It's art and business and they kind of intersect.
00:07:55.300 Yes, a lot of delusion and self-grandeur.
00:07:58.520 And you have a desire to be observed.
00:08:00.620 Yeah, so narcissism.
00:08:01.780 Yeah, like low-grade narcissism up to maximum narcissism.
00:08:06.520 Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:08:07.460 Or just mentally ill, too.
00:08:09.060 Yeah.
00:08:09.380 There's a lot of mental illness.
00:08:10.880 Yeah, the film industry attracts psychopaths.
00:08:14.980 That is a heavy diagnosis to give someone.
00:08:18.580 Can you imagine for people who have to deal with psychopaths
00:08:22.980 and people that are so narcissistic and self-grandeure,
00:08:27.180 as this other podcast host added to the conversation,
00:08:30.620 Can you imagine working with people like that?
00:08:34.680 I mean, now that we've seen how Ryan Reynolds operates and his wife, Blake Lively, I don't
00:08:41.640 find this hard to believe at all.
00:08:43.420 And there's so many stories out there that we haven't heard yet from things that have
00:08:47.540 happened on sets, but people are so afraid to talk about it because they're worried that
00:08:52.840 it will ruin their chances of getting another movie.
00:08:55.060 I think for Scott to actually mention the story with Shia LaBeouf, it is not such a bombshell because we all know that Shia LaBeouf is a very troubled person.
00:09:05.780 He did go into details here of what actually had happened, that he was spitting tobacco on a tank and Shia LaBeouf said, you can't do that.
00:09:15.480 And Scott was like, that is in the script.
00:09:17.900 So I'm going to do that.
00:09:19.340 And it was this whole physical fight almost going on.
00:09:22.500 And I think he said that Brad Pitt had to step in and stop this fight from happening.
00:09:27.940 And he also said, you know, at one point, when people keep pushing and pushing and pushing you, you will react at one point.
00:09:36.100 And I can't imagine the directors who have to deal with these kind of situations.
00:09:42.220 And we all know who some of these people are and how some of them are known to be method actors.
00:09:48.180 Meaning that they're inside this person that they're pretending to be 24-7.
00:09:53.320 And that is obviously exhausting for everyone around them.
00:09:57.740 You know, the forgiveness for behavior, which I don't excuse.
00:10:01.900 Because when bad behavior is bad behavior, it's like, this is a place of work.
00:10:05.440 We all, the crew got to go home.
00:10:07.100 Everyone wants to be happy.
00:10:07.920 People deserve to be respected.
00:10:09.800 It doesn't matter if you're picking up a piece of trash or if you're saying the lines or if you're holding the camera.
00:10:13.320 Everybody has the same respect, decency.
00:10:16.300 yeah so it's like when you start infringing on that as a place of work that's when it gets tough
00:10:21.460 for me because i'm like beat it and then they also mentioned how insecure a lot of actors are
00:10:26.860 yeah a lot of insecurity too right it comes with acting sometimes because people
00:10:30.480 they're they're so tormented and then they're so insecure about their performance or what they're
00:10:36.160 doing and then they overcompensate with this like confidence or fake bravado and then it it's an
00:10:42.480 ugly sort of cycle because you're like hey man just just be nice and cool yeah i think that's
00:10:47.220 exactly what we saw with blake lively on the set of it ends with us her insecurities about her body
00:10:53.760 about her appearance in general really took a toll on everyone around her and i've seen this
00:11:00.820 with so many actors they need so much validation they are just addicted to this attention and to
00:11:07.820 the validation well i'm like as insecure as the next guy we're in showbiz for god's sake
00:11:12.580 you can't even get your sag card unless you have like stage five dysfunction anyways i hope more
00:11:18.720 and more of these stories are going to come out because i'm sure there's so many actors out there
00:11:23.060 and actresses who had to work with people like this and never talked about it afterwards there
00:11:30.560 was an interesting article in the hollywood reporter just yesterday an interview with
00:11:34.680 Anna Taylor-Joy, who explained why method actors are almost always men. And they're saying here
00:11:43.140 that when was the last time you heard about an actress going full method during a movie production,
00:11:48.200 staying in character constantly, weighed down by her self-inflicted burden of inhabiting a role so
00:11:55.080 completely that it seemed to consume their life? Pretty much never. So true. I've never heard about
00:12:02.320 a woman who actually went method and Anna Taylor-Joy says in this interview that if you'll
00:12:07.640 notice women don't method act because we have things to take care of we can't completely lose
00:12:13.780 our minds I see acting as kind of like a controlled psychosis in a way interesting you are pretending
00:12:21.480 to be someone else and having their thoughts 16 hours a day and moving with them and living in
00:12:27.020 their house and in their clothes but I'm just very grateful that the people in my life understand that
00:12:33.300 and know that sometimes if it gets a little bit out of hand they call me by the character name
00:12:39.240 and they'll be like yo we need to like check in again and she continues here to say but yeah I
00:12:45.020 can't imagine keeping it up all the time because again you're going to work with hundreds of people
00:12:50.820 It is your responsibility to be good to them and to help them to do their best job.
00:12:56.740 If you're too invested in being an asshole, then that's not going to be very fun.
00:13:01.840 Yeah, then they're mentioning some of these men here who are known to be method actors,
00:13:06.640 one of them being Daniel Day-Lewis, another one Jim Carrey, he did that for Man on the Moon,
00:13:12.400 and Joaquin Phoenix did it for The Joker.
00:13:15.100 and also a very disturbing human being.
00:13:18.340 Gerard Leto was known for doing that.
00:13:21.520 For one of his previous movies,
00:13:23.680 he sent used rubbers to people in the cast as gifts.
00:13:32.140 How sick is that?
00:13:34.140 Yeah, talk about a town built on delusion, you guys.
00:13:37.740 There's so many crazy people out there.
00:13:39.620 I feel so sorry for all the people
00:13:42.160 who have to work with these nutcases.
00:13:45.100 who feel that they're more important than anyone else and for them to perform art everyone else
00:13:51.640 has to suffer yeah who wants to go to work every day and experience things like that anyways that's
00:13:58.160 it for me today you guys a little shorter episode here i was so disturbed this morning after reading
00:14:03.380 all the things about perez hilton and i didn't know how to present all of that to you guys i'm
00:14:09.480 so glad I had my emotional support dog with me and my executive producer Oscar who is the most
00:14:16.140 caring and loving little fluff baby in the world who's never in and out of character he's just like
