Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - How they planned EVERYTHING together !!!

00:00:00.000 This January on Paramount Plus, it began on the shores of New Jersey.

00:00:04.900 Now, a new pack emerges in the great white north.

00:00:09.260 Canada Shore, new original series, now streaming on Paramount Plus.

00:00:15.100 Brandon Sklenor is worse than you thought.

00:00:18.980 Yeah, we floss some talk.

00:00:23.160 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.

00:00:24.920 I'm Sarshti Flohr, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:27.680 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:32.080 First of all, thanks for all your support and for watching my video yesterday.

00:00:35.980 Very important video that I published where I spoke to a source,

00:00:41.320 a person who knows all the parties involved

00:00:44.900 and also a person who has interacted with them on different occasions.

00:00:50.260 I couldn't reveal more than that about that person,

00:00:52.440 but I had a lot of aha moments after talking to them and I share that with you guys.

00:00:57.100 So thanks again for supporting that and for supporting me

00:01:00.140 and for supporting everyone who comes forward with information that can help the truth prevail.

00:01:07.500 Anyways, talking about that, Brandon Sklenor is worse than you thought.

00:01:13.200 I am a bit shocked right now to find out what he said on the red carpet yesterday

00:01:18.240 and also what he said according to more unsealed evidence from Justin Baldoni's deposition.

00:01:26.340 And Ryan Reynolds is monetizing again on people's misery in a new Mint mobile ad.

00:01:33.400 Surprise, surprise.

00:01:34.960 And it's been reported that he dislikes Hugh Jackman's new girlfriend Sutton Foster

00:01:40.620 because she is not an A-lister. 1.00

00:01:42.660 And the latest article that Blake Lively planted about herself

00:01:46.700 and how she loves giving friends expensive gifts.

00:01:51.260 And let's go through some more of Wayfarer's explosive response to Blake Lively

00:01:56.960 that makes her claims look like a complete sham.

00:02:01.920 And yesterday I spoke about this dispute that is happening right now between the parties.

00:02:07.480 The judge had an emergency meeting about it and apparently this dispute is about an expert.

00:02:15.780 The only expert that I know of so far is the one,

00:02:19.300 the report that Justin Baldoni attached in his response last week.

00:02:24.480 And this expert is basically saying that there was no smear campaign.

00:02:28.900 So I don't know if it has anything to do with him

00:02:31.360 or that there might be other experts here that the parties have some issues with.

00:02:36.620 Okay, let's get to Brandon Sklenar right away.

00:02:39.400 So yesterday there was a premiere for his latest movie, The House Maid,

00:02:44.600 which is directed by Paul Feig or Paul Feig.

00:02:48.560 I don't know how to say his last name.

00:02:49.840 People say it differently.

00:02:51.140 Anyway, last week I spoke about this because Brandon Sklenar went on a morning show

00:02:56.220 and said that Sidney Sweeney pushed for him to get that part.

00:03:00.140 And we already learned from Paul Feig himself in an interview that he said that Blake Lively

00:03:07.220 introduced him to Brandon Sklenar and pushed for him to meet with Brandon.

00:03:11.420 Then they had a lunch and Blake kept praising him.

00:03:14.760 So that's why he ended up in the movie.

00:03:17.260 Yesterday he was asked by Extra TV on the red carpet if Blake Lively helped him get the role.

00:03:24.800 And he responded like this.

00:03:27.460 You know, Blake, Blake, yeah, Blake definitely, she talked to Paul.

00:03:31.200 Paul asked how I was and she put in a good word.

00:03:34.220 And I can't help but think that might have helped, you know.

00:03:37.340 But yeah, Blake's lovely.

00:03:38.720 And she just, she let Paul know that I was, I was, I was easy to work with, I think.

00:03:44.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:45.480 Yeah, he said Blake is lovely.

00:03:48.700 I guess she's lovely to him because she wanted something from him.

00:03:51.900 He really makes it sound like Paul figured that it was his idea to cast him.

00:03:56.380 And then he reached out to Blake.

00:03:58.260 And I really don't think that's how this happened.

00:04:01.880 Anyways, he also calls the movie sexy.

00:04:04.260 There's romance, there's humor, there's tension.

00:04:07.100 It's, it's sexy.

00:04:08.100 It's, it's intense.

00:04:09.700 Yeah, isn't that the same thing as calling a wardrobe sexy?

00:04:13.040 As calling pants sexy?

00:04:14.400 You're calling a thing sexy.

00:04:16.440 So yeah, Brandon, watch out.

00:04:18.580 You might get sued for SH for saying that.

00:04:21.900 Anyway, so another part of Justin Baldoni's deposition has been unsealed.

00:04:26.980 And this is so telling to me.

00:04:30.380 And keep in mind what my source told me yesterday.

00:04:33.520 That Blake whisked both Brandon Sklenor and Jenny Slade away on weekends to befriend them and to get them on her side.

00:04:43.860 And Justin knew that this was happening.

00:04:47.080 So here, Mr. Gottlieb, who is Blake Lively's attorney, is asking Justin about Brandon.

00:04:53.600 He's asking him, do you recall ever saying to Brandon Sklenor on the film set something to the effect, though, of I have to tell you something, but I don't want to get canceled or lose my job.

00:05:05.700 You can't say anything on this set anymore.

00:05:08.980 To me, that really sounds ridiculous to begin with, because why would Justin lose his job?

00:05:13.140 He hired himself.

00:05:14.380 He owns the production company and he's the director of the movie.

00:05:18.020 He can't just get fired.

00:05:20.040 But anyways, he responds, I've heard that in someone else's testimony and that it's not something I said.

00:05:27.260 That's also not what, that's also not the way that I speak.

00:05:31.380 Blake's attorney asks, whose testimony did you hear that in?

00:05:36.380 I believe Jenny Slade's, Justin says.

00:05:39.600 Did you come to ever feel like you couldn't be open or candid or unfiltered on sets?

00:05:46.680 Justin says, yes, but not for any reason that it's interfered in that text, nor would I ever say anything to Brandon Sklenor like that.

00:05:55.780 Question, so if somebody said that they heard you say that, your under oath testimony would be they are mistaken.

00:06:05.640 Justin says, my under oath testimony is that I don't believe I ever said anything to that, to that effect to Brandon Sklenor.

00:06:13.120 So basically, Jenny Slade said in her testimony that Brandon Sklenor came and told her that Justin had said this.

00:06:23.380 I mean, the scheming that's been going on around this set behind Justin's back is so appalling to me.

00:06:31.920 And especially now that we know that Blake told the entire cast to unfollow Justin the same day.

00:06:39.820 This just makes so much sense to me.

00:06:41.960 And now we truly know who Brandon Sklenor is.

00:06:45.860 And also, thank you to Cindy for sharing this with me.

00:06:49.880 She is watching the show and she sent me a screenshot because she commented on Brandon Sklenor's video of an interview with him.

00:06:59.000 I think it was on Seth Meyers.

00:07:00.720 And she basically put an emoji, a snake emoji.

00:07:05.380 And Brandon responded with a winky face.

00:07:09.560 He's a very passive-aggressive behavior, I think, and really not smart.

00:07:16.340 He is not listening to any PR experts here because you should never, ever respond to criticism like that because you only fuel it.

00:07:27.060 And by him pretending he's not affected by it, by being passive-aggressive, just tells me that he is very affected by this.

00:07:36.520 And if you read the comments on his pinned picture of himself on Instagram, there is not much support for him.

00:07:43.860 And he didn't stop by sending her just a kiss emoji.

00:07:47.280 He liked all her comments where she put a snake emoji in.

00:07:53.080 So he's definitely reading his comments, you guys.

00:07:56.420 And this to me is a sign of guilt and insecurity.

00:07:59.440 And showing this kind of passive-aggressiveness just shows me that he is not a very confident person.

00:08:05.940 I did hear that the movie got good reviews.

00:08:08.720 So it's going to be interesting to see if people will actually go out and support him in this movie.

00:08:14.080 We'll have to see about that.

00:08:15.960 Anyways, talking about snakes, let's jump over to Ryan Reynolds and what he just did.

00:08:20.960 This to me just says everything about him again. 0.85

00:08:23.880 So if you missed it, Quentin Tarantino came out last week and blasted a few actors and said that he thought that they basically sucked.

00:08:32.140 And one of them was Paul Dano.

00:08:33.500 That got a lot of attention.

00:08:35.160 And another one is Matthew Lillard.

00:08:38.940 I don't know why he had to share that information.

00:08:41.980 I think it's just mean.

00:08:43.320 But anyways, but guess who jumped on the opportunity to share some of that hate?

00:08:49.260 Well, Ryan Reynolds.

00:08:50.860 So he reached out to Matthew Lillard and asked him,

00:08:55.200 Hey, why don't you come on to a Mint Mobile ad so we can make more fun of you that Quentin Tarantino doesn't like you?

00:09:03.020 And Matthew said yes.

00:09:05.120 There are only two things that are universally loved.

00:09:07.880 Saving money and beloved actor Matthew Lillard.

00:09:10.940 Oh, I appreciate it.

00:09:12.360 I mean, it's not unanimous, you know?

00:09:14.780 Okay, there's only one thing that's universally loved.

00:09:18.060 I'm not really sure why I'm here.

00:09:19.560 Oh, I don't care for the attitude, Lillard.

00:09:22.860 According to an interview or some quotes that Matthew Lillard gave to an outlet, he didn't find it funny at all.

00:09:31.360 And he was really hurt by Quentin Tarantino's comment.

00:09:35.560 So Matt Lillard is quoted saying,

00:09:37.900 It hurts your feeling. 0.99

00:09:39.080 It effing sucks. 0.99

00:09:40.440 And you wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise. 0.99

00:09:42.360 You wouldn't say that to somebody who's a top line actor in Hollywood.

00:09:46.420 So he obviously was really hurt by this.

00:09:49.420 And of course, Ryan Reynolds thought this was really funny and saw the opportunity to commercialize on it.

00:09:54.200 This is what he keeps doing.

00:09:56.060 He takes other people's mystery and hurtful moments and creates ads to monetize the situation.

00:10:03.200 He loves to mock other people and he loves to make money on it.

00:10:07.760 We know he did the exact same thing during that cheating scandal from the astronomy ad that he created with Gwyneth Paltrow.

00:10:16.380 Also, someone else's mystery.

00:10:18.560 Two marriages fell apart and Ryan was like,

00:10:21.180 Yes, let's make money on this.

00:10:23.320 Also, there's a story.

00:10:24.440 I don't know how reliable this source is.

00:10:26.460 But apparently, Ryan Reynolds doesn't approve of Sutton Foster, Hugh Jackman's new girlfriend.

00:10:32.180 He's saying here, according to sources, that Ryan is not about to tell Hugh Jackman that he has to break up with Sutton,

00:10:38.880 but he's also doing nothing to bring her into the tight-knit group of A-listers he associates with.

00:10:45.520 It's a status thing and Ryan sees himself as a movie star and a mogul.

00:10:49.840 And he's careful about the company he keeps, almost to a fault.

00:10:53.640 I think that Sutton Foster probably doesn't want to be associated with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

00:11:02.260 Who wants to put themselves in a situation like that?

00:11:06.160 It's like, hey, you want to meet my friends over here?

00:11:08.780 Just make sure that you shut off your comment section on Instagram before we introduce you guys.

00:11:15.640 And the source continues to say that Ryan has only been in a relationship with world-famous women going back to his early 20s.

00:11:22.880 And Sutton is still not a household name, despite her long list of Broadway hits and TV credits.

00:11:31.220 To put it in high school terms, Ryan is the homecoming king and captain of the football team.

00:11:36.800 And Sutton is one of the geeky theater girls, the source explains.

00:11:41.400 Anyways, I don't know if I believe this story, but I do believe that Hugh Jackman is trying to distance himself from Ryan.

00:11:49.220 We haven't seen the two of them together for a while.

00:11:51.600 There was a video of the two of them together promoting that they bought this sailing club together, this Australian sailing team.

00:11:59.940 But apart from that, there's been no, like, bromance going on publicly between them.

00:12:05.700 And I have a suspicion here that I think Sutton is the one who told Hugh, stay away from Ryan in public.

00:12:12.260 Because it's not good for your reputation.

00:12:15.660 And he really doesn't need any more controversy.

00:12:17.920 As you know, there's been a lot of talk about him leaving Debra Lee Furness for Sutton.

00:12:25.540 And that he basically left before they got divorced and so on.

00:12:30.020 Okay, and Blake Lively planted another story about herself and how generous she is to her friends.

00:12:34.680 She gives them $400 gifts.

00:12:37.480 This to me is, like, so funny how this news just came out right after Taylor Swift announced through her documentary, I think it was, that she gave away almost $200 million to her crew after the Eros tour.

00:12:54.860 That is a very impressive amount to give away to people.

00:12:57.880 And a very, very nice thing to do.

00:13:00.940 And then Blake is like, I give my friends $400 Christmas gifts.

00:13:04.640 And of course, it backfired.

00:13:07.040 So Star did this story, basically, about all the backlash from the comment section on that article.

00:13:14.740 Some people are saying, I think her list will be very short this year.

00:13:20.100 True, she doesn't have that many friends.

00:13:22.440 And this gift is apparently something called the Mahong Set.

00:13:24.940 I have never heard about it before, but it's very expensive and people are pointing at that, too.

00:13:29.620 It's out of touch and bragging about expensive gifts like that.

00:13:33.680 And someone said that even if she had donated that money to a good cause, it still wouldn't change public opinion of her.

00:13:40.860 I don't know if they mean the money that she's giving to friends as Christmas gifts or the money that she's spending on this lawsuit.

00:13:47.060 Because that would have made some change in the world if she spent $100 million, if she gave away $100 million to, for example, DV victims. 0.75

00:13:56.120 That would have actually said something about her as a person.

00:13:59.300 But instead, of course, she spent that money on her lawyers. 0.99

00:14:02.460 Anyways, I wanted to go through a little bit more of Wayfarer's response here.

00:14:07.220 Because this is quite entertaining and I love the way that they write this.

00:14:11.580 As I said the other day, they responded to Blake Lively's response to their motion of summary judgment.

00:14:19.080 And one of their main points here is that Blake Lively cannot prove that any of the conduct that happened to her was because of her gender.

00:14:28.320 And that's really important because if it was not happening because of her gender, how can she then claim S-H?

00:14:36.180 And I remember reading from Alex Sack's deposition where she was asked if she thought that Justin yelled at her because she was a woman.

00:14:46.120 And she couldn't really answer that.

00:14:48.240 Of course, he didn't yell at you because you're a woman. 0.88

00:14:50.200 He yelled at you because you either did something wrong or you didn't agree about something or because you were supporting and defending Blake Lively.

00:14:57.500 And then they're pointing to some of the things that she dropped.

00:15:01.260 One of them being the improper hugging on set because she could not dispute that both men and women were hugged on the set.

00:15:10.460 So she couldn't claim it was S-H because it happened to everyone.

00:15:14.380 As you know, she claimed there was a culture of hugging.

00:15:17.900 And the other day I actually showed this video of Blake hugging multiple people.

00:15:22.760 And then they're talking about her wardrobe that he called sexy and saying that it was an oversized fleece onesie.

00:15:32.440 How? And it wasn't revealing in any way.

00:15:35.240 And how can they use that against him saying that that was S-H and they did not manage to do that?

00:15:42.800 Also, they're saying, you know, she was invited to talk to an intimacy coordinator throughout this entire process.

00:15:48.940 And also something that's really funny.

00:15:50.860 I have to read this because I thought I was laughing out loud this morning when I read it.

00:15:54.220 Lively's effort to evade this conclusion by characterizing the film's birth scene as unscripted nudity is absurd.

00:16:04.300 She claimed she was unexpectedly required to imply nudity under a hospital gown and prosthetic belly.

00:16:12.000 But Lively, a mother of four, must have known people generally don't wear pants giving birth. 1.00

00:16:21.560 I love that.

00:16:22.880 There are little funny moments like that throughout this entire filing.

00:16:27.060 They also go through those ridiculous accusations against Jamie Heath.

00:16:30.860 One of them being that he had eye contact with her for a split second while he was in her trailer.

00:16:36.040 And they're saying here that Blake Lively later actually admitted that she didn't even think that he was trying to cop a look.

00:16:44.100 Also, they're pointing out that Blake herself admits that her claims are not serious.

00:16:50.340 But she's telling the judge basically that you cannot toss out this case because harassment cases, harassment lawsuits shouldn't be tossed out according to California law.

00:17:01.940 So it's not that her case is good.

00:17:04.180 It's just that procedurally that's not normal.

00:17:07.080 And then the Wayfair Party says, yes, it is.

00:17:09.320 And here are some examples of that.

00:17:11.120 And the fact that she's bringing in outside evidence that I talked about the other day as well.

00:17:17.080 And also saying that they're claiming that Colleen Hoover said that she wasn't involved in the script writing and that she wasn't allowed to see the dailies.

00:17:27.840 But they cannot prove that that was based on her gender.

00:17:31.320 So that's basically what they're trying to do throughout here to explain to the judge, you know, there were things happening on this set.

00:17:39.100 There were disagreements going on, but it was not gender based.

00:17:43.560 And that, as I said in the beginning, is very important here because it's up to the judge here to decide if this was actually S.H. or not, if she should have the right to bring this to trial.

00:17:53.340 There's also been more unsealed from Jed Wallace, the hired guns deposition here.

00:17:58.980 And basically someone's lying.

00:18:01.660 Again, he was asked about this smear website that was created about Stephanie Jones.

00:18:09.620 Stephanie Jones, Jones' work, the PR company that basically started this whole thing by taking Jennifer Abel, their employee's phone,

00:18:19.140 and giving it to Blake Lively, who gave it to the New York Times.

00:18:21.320 So Stephanie Jones is suing Jennifer Abel, who used to work for her.

00:18:25.720 And she's saying that she's behind this website that was trying to smear her. 0.68

00:18:30.880 And according to a testimony from a woman called Katie Case, she did that. 0.97

00:18:36.160 And she also tweeted some negative stuff about Stephanie Jones, and she admitted to do that.

00:18:42.220 But she said she did it on behalf of Melissa Nathan and Jed Wallace, that they were involved in smearing Stephanie Jones.

00:18:52.260 And now both Melissa Nathan and Jed Wallace denies this.

00:18:57.620 I don't know who's lying here.

00:18:59.800 I don't know what the motivation would be for Katie Case to lie about this. 0.92

00:19:06.160 She might have been caught by some evidence that she was involved, and now she's trying to blame it on other people. 1.00

00:19:12.700 We don't know the truth yet.

00:19:14.200 But someone's lying under oath.

00:19:16.400 Okay, and here's another story.

00:19:17.760 It was Taylor Swift's birthday on December 13th.

00:19:20.540 And according to Rob Shooter, a source told him that Blake Lively secretly sent Taylor Swift a birthday wish.

00:19:29.800 I wonder who leaked that story.

00:19:32.140 Anyways, it says here that Blake's message was short and hopeful.

00:19:36.840 An insider said she didn't expect anything back.

00:19:39.580 She just couldn't let the day go by without saying something.

00:19:43.000 She's so nice.

00:19:43.960 The outreach comes despite the history between the two stars.

00:19:48.400 Sources note that Taylor has not changed her phone number or email since they're falling out.

00:19:53.540 So she didn't have to change her phone number.

00:19:57.300 So Blake Lively couldn't find it.

00:19:59.480 She still has Taylor's direct contacts.

00:20:02.320 Another source confirmed it was very personal.

00:20:05.560 Not for show.

00:20:06.500 Blake wanted to acknowledge the day without any pressure or expectations.

00:20:11.240 Swift is celebrating turning 36.

00:20:13.640 Blah, blah, blah.

00:20:14.760 It was a thoughtful gesture, the insider added.

00:20:17.920 Blake didn't want to make it public or dramatic.
