00:00:00.000 Blake and Ryan in full PR panic mode. You won't believe what they just did.
00:00:09.600 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Sashdi Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:13.780 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. Guess who's panicking with their PR
00:00:19.860 right now? Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. And now they're trying to use their children to get
00:00:26.000 sympathy and of course giveaway to charity. This story is amazing and it also involves S.H.
00:00:34.160 And finally, we now know the reason why Hugh Jackman is still friends with Ryan Reynolds.
00:00:40.460 This conversation Hugh Jackman just had with Howard Stern about his friendship with Ryan
00:00:46.300 reveals everything we need to know. Also, Tom Brady just dumped Stephanie Jones as his
00:00:55.560 publicist. This is pretty huge. If you don't know who Stephanie Jones is, she's the one who gave
00:01:02.120 the phone of her ex-employee Jennifer Abel to Blake Lively, so those text messages ended up
00:01:07.880 in the New York Times. And now her other clients are like, why do we still want to work with someone
00:01:12.180 like you that we can't trust for a second? So yes, bye-bye to Stephanie Jones. And we have to talk
00:01:18.500 about this new lawsuit against Taylor Swift and copyright infringements. Another woman is claiming
00:01:24.340 that she owns the trademark of life of a showgirl.
00:01:28.100 This is a very fascinating story.
00:01:30.300 Also, as I mentioned a few times,
00:01:31.720 it's less than 48 hours until this hearing is taking place on Thursday
00:01:36.580 where both parties are meeting to talk to the judge
00:01:39.620 about all the pre-trial preparations that they have to do.
00:01:43.700 Everyone's been guessing that the judge would rule on the summary judgment
00:01:48.440 and judgments on the pleadings before Thursday
00:01:51.780 and before actually today.
00:01:54.340 which would give both parties time to prepare better
00:01:57.140 because they know what would be left of Blake Lively's lawsuit.
00:02:00.900 As you know, there's a big chance that the judge will toss out a lot of Blake Lively's 13 claims.
00:02:07.400 So it would be such a waste of time for everyone to prepare for all these 13 claims
00:02:11.400 when there might be just three, two, one or zero left.
00:02:15.140 So anyways, let's see what happens on Thursday.
00:02:17.440 It's open for the public so everyone can actually call in and listen.
00:02:21.100 Before I forget, I want to say thank you to everyone who got the Flossom Talk finish kit.
00:02:27.140 I'm so proud of this kit that I developed together with the amazing Hollywood makeup artist Mary Beth York.
00:02:35.360 You can also still get your hands on this kit.
00:02:38.280 I will leave a link in the description and in the pinned comments.
00:02:42.320 I have about 50 lipsticks just laying around and I never find the right color.
00:02:46.440 So now I can finally announce that I have found the right color.
00:02:49.960 It's so beautiful and it fits every skin color, I promise you.
00:02:54.480 And I'm sure it's going to look amazing on you too.
00:02:57.340 And then you top it with this gloss that I also wear every day here on my channel.
00:03:02.400 It has this like pink champagne gloss to it that works in everyday life.
00:03:06.620 And if you want to look fancy when you go out,
00:03:09.180 we also have this amazing, beautiful glow stick.
00:03:12.400 Perfect for everyday use as well and perfect for every skin color as well.
00:03:16.560 And then this little blush also comes in this kit.
00:03:19.060 this beautiful rose color that's the same color as this shirt kind of. So if you want to own this
00:03:25.020 limited edition of Flawsome Talk that comes with four products, better act now. Okay, let's get
00:03:31.000 into it. So Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds took their three eldest kids to a Broadway show on
00:03:38.200 Sunday. And of course they wanted the world to notice that they were there. So at the end of
00:03:44.120 the show, Jonathan Groff, who plays the main character in this show, auctioned off the hat
00:03:51.020 he's wearing in the play. And the money was going to Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS Initiative.
00:03:57.260 So of course, Ryan had to stand up and be the biggest bidder and get all the attention on him
00:04:02.740 and his wife, who was sitting behind him and their three kids. So People Magazine did a story about
00:04:10.340 this saying Ryan and Blake attend Jonathan Groff's final bit Bobby Darin performance on Broadway and
00:04:17.220 donate $25,000 for charity that's exactly the headline they were hoping for and it says here
00:04:24.260 that they gave a very generous donation while attending Jonathan Groff's final performance
00:04:29.460 in the Broadway musical Just In Time and it says here the Deadpool star first bid $10,000 from his
00:04:36.120 seat in the audience as Groff and his castmates who were standing on stage then did 10 high kicks
00:04:43.500 to mark the number. So they did like one, two, whatever. Then one of the cast members leading
00:04:50.860 the auction then said, but we can't stop there. This is a historic hat. No one else will have
00:04:56.980 this hat and this will never be sold again. So do we have 11,000? Do we have 12,000? Reynolds shouted
00:05:05.020 from his seats well $15,000 as the audience cheered Gruff and his castmates then did 15
00:05:15.520 high kicks on stage Reynolds continued to outbid himself going from 17 to 20 before finally setting
00:05:25.460 on a whopping $25,000 donation so he was the only one bidding in the audience apparently and he
00:05:33.160 kept screaming and overbidding himself and everyone's like Ryan Reynolds is amazing he's
00:05:38.580 giving away money he cares about his wife who's sitting there he cares about his kids what a great
00:05:43.940 guy and then Ryan said according to the video that I'm going to show you as well and this article
00:05:50.860 25,000 no kicks maybe just like something else he said he joked from the audience Groff then left
00:05:59.620 the stage and walked over to Reynolds in the audience and handed him Darren's hat before the
00:06:05.060 pair hugged. That's not what happened actually. They forgot to mention that instead of 25 kicks
00:06:12.520 up with their legs like this, they offered to spank Jonathan Groff and spank him five times for every
00:06:22.080 5,000, so they spanked him on stage five times while Blake and Ryan were applauding.
00:06:31.080 Wouldn't that be considered an SH violation in Blake Lively's book, that someone is being
00:06:36.620 spanked by all these women on a stage in front of everyone? Did he agree to that beforehand?
00:06:42.600 Was there an intimacy coordinator there? Also, did he ask Ryan Reynolds for permission before
00:06:49.360 he touched him, before he gave him a hug. As you know, Blake was complaining about hugs,
00:06:55.380 a culture of hugging on a set of It Ends With Us. And here it looks like Ryan is welcoming a hug
00:07:01.320 from Jonathan without any questions asked. Okay, I'm going to show you the video now.
00:07:19.360 No kicks. Maybe some just, like, something else.
00:07:23.860 Okay.
00:07:26.320 I mean, they want Spanx.
00:07:33.180 Do it, Jared!
00:07:34.620 And you know what? How about one spank for every five?
00:07:38.560 Every five Spanx, right now.
00:07:40.340 25?
00:07:43.460 They're spanking Jonathan!
00:07:49.360 One, two, three, four, five.
00:08:02.740 That's it.
00:08:06.740 Thank you so much.
00:08:08.640 I want to make sure that no one else has an opportunity.
00:08:12.660 So I'm just going to say, is that what happened with the summer?
00:08:17.540 Yes!
00:08:19.360 Congratulations. Thank you so much for saving our past. Ladies, thank you for giving us a chance.
00:08:39.120 Thank you for taking charge.
00:08:40.820 Anyways, his six-year-old daughter was there wearing a pacifier.
00:08:50.520 Someone commented on that, that she's a little old to wear, to have a pacifier.
00:08:55.020 And also, she's too young to watch this show because it says on the website that you have to,
00:09:00.960 or you should be 10 years old to actually attend this show.
00:09:04.380 But anyways, it doesn't seem like they cared about that.
00:09:06.800 all they cared about was that the entire audience would notice that they were there. He could have
00:09:12.560 given this money in private. He didn't have to make such a big deal about it. But what's the
00:09:16.860 point in Ryan Reynolds' world doing something nice if people won't notice? It's so funny to me
00:09:22.940 how People Magazine are just the mouthpiece of Blake and Ryan here. And they did another story
00:09:28.720 yesterday, which I laughed so hard about, where they said that Blake Lively is sharing a rare,
00:09:34.320 an extremely rare photo of her child where where she posted on Instagram a picture of Ryan Reynolds
00:09:42.580 with one of their kids on his back from the back and the picture was blurry as expected Blake and
00:09:50.380 Ryan are pushing out photos and the narrative of them being the best parents being in love with
00:09:56.760 each other they have a really good marriage and they gave to charity and on top of that Blake
00:10:02.600 lively posted a story today on from the women's rexham team playing soccer now she's so into
00:10:11.280 soccer supporting her husband of course because that's his big thing because he's a part owner in
00:10:17.680 the rexham team anyways as always there are some great comments on these stories and we know that
00:10:23.520 people magazine are deleting a lot of negative comments when it comes to blake and ryan i had
00:10:29.320 people contacting me, telling me, you know, I tried to publish this comment on People magazine
00:10:34.500 and it was removed. And a lot of those comments weren't bad. They were just criticizing them as
00:10:39.320 a couple or what they're doing and criticizing what they did to Justin Baldoni. And I love this
00:10:44.520 one from RLX. That spanking on stage was way worse than anything in Blake's 500 million dollar
00:10:52.440 lawsuit. So weird. Anyways, Grain of Salt sent me an email thanking me for mentioning their comment
00:11:00.520 yesterday. And they also said this, which I found very amusing. By the way, I've been closely
00:11:06.560 monitoring the users in the People Magazine website's comment section. And I can say with a
00:11:11.580 99% certainty that the user called JSVT is either Leslie Sloan or one of her employees. I called her
00:11:20.720 less twice and she immediately deleted her comment which triggered the disappearance of
00:11:25.800 my comment calling her out. I also suspect that the user called North is Ryan or someone from
00:11:32.140 Ryan's team. They regularly defend Ryan when I bash him mostly for forcing Ines to say those
00:11:38.260 inappropriate lines. When I mentioned that North probably is Ryan himself since he's called the
00:11:43.780 North of the Border actor by anti-lawyer, he accused me of harassment and stalking and doxing
00:11:50.940 them. Why would someone be offended by my assumptions if it wasn't true? So true. I suspect
00:11:58.040 that Blanca is Blake herself because she supports Blake and only Blake, not even Ryan or Leslie or
00:12:05.880 Taylor and she never gets legal facts right. But take it with a grain of salt of course I could be
00:12:14.640 absolutely wrong. I love that. Thank you so much for this information. I love when people are doing
00:12:19.460 this saluting especially in the comment section because in the comment section that's what you
00:12:23.960 get to hear what people really feel about things. Anyways let's get to the next story here which is
00:12:29.440 Hugh Jackman on Howard Stern. As I said in the beginning of this episode I now know
00:12:35.080 why Hugh Jackman is still supporting Ryan Reynolds.
00:12:39.980 He was on Howard Stern.
00:12:42.060 This was published just a day ago.
00:12:44.900 I don't know how long it's been there.
00:12:47.160 Thank you, by the way, Matteo, for sending me this.
00:12:49.280 Matteo sends me so much stuff.
00:12:50.800 He's amazing.
00:12:51.540 So thank you.
00:12:52.500 And after about 52 minutes,
00:12:53.960 Howard Stern asks Hugh Jackman about his friendship with Ryan Reynolds.
00:13:00.000 And then Hugh Jackman reveals this.
00:13:02.740 He's a great actor.
00:13:03.900 He's a great man too
00:13:05.960 I love him
00:13:06.680 You hang with him
00:13:07.480 Yeah, he's my buddy
00:13:08.300 He's got my back
00:13:09.780 Yeah
00:13:10.160 I hang out with his kid
00:13:11.440 I go around to his house
00:13:12.640 And I hang out with him
00:13:14.600 And when I
00:13:15.740 When first
00:13:16.900 Things first
00:13:17.680 When I split with Deb
00:13:19.140 I stayed at his place
00:13:20.140 Like he has an apartment downstairs
00:13:21.620 So I'd go up and down
00:13:22.720 For like three months
00:13:24.020 And he was my buddy
00:13:24.900 He had me
00:13:25.400 Wow
00:13:25.920 Yeah
00:13:26.380 I would go and hang
00:13:27.920 No, I would hang with him
00:13:29.560 And his kids
00:13:30.180 And then
00:13:30.540 We go for walks
00:13:31.920 And we talk
00:13:32.940 We talk
00:13:33.720 and we kind of go deep, man.
00:13:35.420 It was a bit late with you, but...
00:13:36.560 He's got my back.
00:13:37.780 He's my very good friend.
00:13:39.500 He let me stay at their place
00:13:42.400 when I split from Deb.
00:13:44.780 So that is why Hugh Jackman feels
00:13:48.380 he owes Ryan Reynolds to stand up for him.
00:13:52.820 Otherwise, why would he risk his own reputation
00:13:56.620 being there for his friend now?
00:13:59.240 He said that he stayed there for three months
00:14:01.560 and went back and forth between the apartment that he was staying in
00:14:05.180 because they own an extra apartment, who doesn't, in their own building.
00:14:09.300 So Hugh was staying there.
00:14:11.880 And then him and Ryan and Blake and their kids would hang out all the time.
00:14:16.500 He also said that his favorite thing to do with Ryan is they go for long walks together
00:14:21.480 and they have the deepest connection and they have the deepest conversation.
00:14:26.600 We just laugh our ass, but every time I'm with him,
00:14:31.100 I'm laughing till I cry at some point.
00:14:33.260 That almost sounds like someone's talking about their boyfriend, if you ask me.
00:14:36.720 He makes me so funny.
00:14:38.100 He makes me laugh till I cry.
00:14:40.660 Anyways, I don't have anything bad to say about Hugh Jackman.
00:14:43.800 I've said this before.
00:14:45.260 I've interviewed him so many times.
00:14:47.180 He is a lovely person to interview.
00:14:49.880 I don't know what he's like in his personal life.
00:14:51.900 And I know a lot of people have criticized him for the way that he ended it with Deborah,
00:14:57.760 his ex-wife.
00:14:58.560 But I have to say, Hugh Jackman is loyal, which is really rare in Hollywood, that you are loyal to someone that is going through something that Ryan Reynolds is going through right now.
00:15:11.380 Hugh Jackman still supports his friend.
00:15:14.400 And I think that says a lot about him, that he's supporting someone like Ryan.
00:15:18.940 It's very bad for his own image, obviously.
00:15:22.020 and I remember a publicist that I had here on my show told me also you know if I was if I was huge
00:15:29.380 publicist I would say stay away from Ryan but he still chooses to be by his side and that's
00:15:35.260 obviously because he feels that he owes him that and also because I think he's a good person he's
00:15:42.140 never met this side of Ryan that we've seen in those text messages and Ryan you have to remember
00:15:47.720 is a master manipulator. And if he wants you to like him and be your friend, he will make sure
00:15:55.560 that you like him and that you are his friend. I feel like Hugh Jackman is just another victim
00:16:00.700 of Ryan Reynolds. Anyways, let's talk about Stephanie Jones again. Stephanie Jones is the
00:16:06.740 owner of Jones Work, the PR company that Justin Baldoni hired to do their PR for It Ends With Us.
00:16:12.920 She's also the person who took her ex-employee Jennifer Abel's phone when she left the company
00:16:18.520 because she was mad that she was leaving her and gave it to Blake Lively who gave it to the New York
00:16:24.580 Times. So if it wasn't for Stephanie Jones, this lawsuit would never have happened. And now things
00:16:31.220 are really starting to backfire on Stephanie Jones because last week we learned that Justin
00:16:36.980 Baldoni and Jennifer Abel's lawsuit against Stephanie Jones will go on the judge allowed
00:16:44.340 them especially one thing that's really important which is the claim of defamation per se so that
00:16:51.080 means more discovery more damage for Stephanie Jones and now Tom Brady her biggest client said
00:16:59.480 I'm out New York Post in Hollywood said this today Tom Brady moves on from well-known publicist
00:17:06.920 who's embroiled in Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni drama.
00:17:10.940 This article is terrible for Stephanie Jones.
00:17:14.540 If Tom Brady, her biggest client, walks away, why would anyone else stay?
00:17:19.540 And as I said the other day, you can't find her company on Instagram anymore.
00:17:23.940 They had a big Instagram account where they showed, amongst other things,
00:17:27.400 how much fun they had in the office of Jones' work.
00:17:30.320 That Instagram account is done, and Stephanie Jones made her personal Instagram account private.
00:17:36.920 In this article, it says that multiple sources tell Page Six Hollywood that Brady doesn't have a current personal PR rep anymore after parting ways with Stephanie Jones.
00:17:47.400 An insider said he's no longer with Stephanie.
00:17:49.920 Another source told us that Brady had been meeting with a number of other top PR people over the summer.
00:17:55.180 They also say that an insider tells us that WME, the talent management company used by Ryan and Blake and also Justin Baldoni until they fired him because Ryan Reynolds put pressure on them.
00:18:12.100 So Tom Brady is still with them and his rep is Stephanie Jones' husband, Jason Hodes.
00:18:20.780 It doesn't get more messy than this.
00:18:22.820 apparently he's still with him who knows for how long it also says brady is not listed as being
00:18:28.840 repped by gents works on imdb pro or celebrity service but there's still an image of the star
00:18:34.680 on jones work sites so she's still pretending that she is repping him obviously it says here
00:18:42.260 that some sources are calling the chatter sour grapes over the baldoni but blowback a source
00:18:49.020 insisted to us that it's not true that jones is off team of team tom saying the pr whiz is still
00:18:55.120 working with brady across various joint ventures and marketing and pr for partners they are both
00:19:00.780 investors in sports apparel brand noble and it says here that jones and wme did not comment
00:19:08.420 yes who would want to work with stephanie jones in the future i mean what she did to justin
00:19:15.780 Baldoni taking information from her own employee's phone that she knew would harm her own clients
00:19:23.940 and give to someone that he was in a fallout or a feud with? Who wants to work with a publicist
00:19:32.200 like that? What was she thinking when she gave that phone to Blake Lively? She was so driven by
00:19:38.340 revenge of her ex-employee Jennifer Abel because she wanted to start her own company that she was
00:19:44.580 willing to go all the way and she didn't even apparently care about her own reputation in all
00:19:51.620 of this. I think a lot of these people including Stephanie Jones, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
00:19:56.520 underestimated how people would react to their actions and now they're all paying for it.
00:20:04.180 Anyways, talking about paying for it, Taylor Swift is now sued. This woman Maren Wade is suing Taylor
00:20:11.500 for trademark infringement
00:20:13.780 and she claims that she owns
00:20:15.460 the trademark confessions of a showgirl.
00:20:18.260 This is a kind of crazy story.
00:20:20.680 It says here at TMZ,
00:20:23.060 Taylor Swift sued.
00:20:25.480 Don't, this town ain't big enough
00:20:27.520 for two showgirls.
00:20:29.640 Taylor Swift straight up jacked
00:20:31.200 a Sin City performer brand
00:20:32.760 when she rolled out her latest album,
00:20:35.600 The Life of a Showgirl,
00:20:36.980 according to a new lawsuit.
00:20:39.160 Maren Wade is suing Taylor
00:20:40.520 for trademark infringement.
00:20:42.040 She says she owns the rights
00:20:43.380 to confession of a showgirl
00:20:44.860 and she claims Taylor's album
00:20:46.900 and accompanying merch
00:20:48.900 are swallowing up a brand
00:20:50.880 she spent over 12 years cultivating.
00:20:54.140 In the lawsuit obtained by TMZ,
00:20:56.500 Wade says confessions of a showgirl
00:20:58.560 traces back to 2014
00:21:00.140 when she used it as the name
00:21:02.120 for a weekly column in Las Vegas Weekly.
00:21:05.560 She says the column became a live show,
00:21:08.620 then a touring production
00:21:09.940 and ultimately a brand encompassing performances, writing, and digital media,
00:21:15.580 all built by her, brick by brick.
00:21:18.440 She also claims here that she trademarked Confessions of a Showgirl in 2015,
00:21:23.260 but now she says that her brand is under fire from Taylor.
00:21:27.200 Wade says Confessions of a Showgirl and Taylor's The Life of a Showgirl are super similar,
00:21:32.500 sharing the same structure, dominant phrase, and overall commercial impression.
00:21:37.300 And she says they're both being used in overlapping markets and being directed at the same fans.
00:21:45.300 In the docs, Wade says Taylor and her people are very familiar with trademark law and knew about the similarity, but pressed forward anyway.
00:21:53.640 Wade takes a shot at Taylor too, saying the pop star has no issues enforcing her own trademarks.
00:21:59.600 That's true. Taylor Swift had sued a lot of people for trademark reasons.
00:22:05.100 But anyways, he continues here to say, Wade says Taylor's showgirl and its overwhelming commercial presence and droning out her showgirl.
00:22:13.100 And she's concerned people will begin to confuse her brand as an imitation of Taylor's.
00:22:18.460 So what Wade wants here is an injection stopping Taylor, her management, her record label, and her merchandising partner from using the life of her showgirl on goods and services.
00:22:29.860 And she's also going after Taylor for damages.
00:22:32.500 then this last part which says a lot it's interesting Wade is coming after Taylor with
00:22:38.300 a lawsuit her social media account seems to be very pro-Taylor with posts featuring Taylor's
00:22:44.320 songs and hashtags we reached out to Taylor's camp so far no word um yes I looked at Maren
00:22:53.720 Wade's Instagram and she's dressed up as a showgirl a lot that's true but she's using Taylor's songs
00:23:00.480 in a lot of her reels which makes me believe that she's a huge fan of Taylor Swift she doesn't have
00:23:07.800 a big social media presence either and I feel like confessions of a showgirl life of a showgirl
00:23:15.520 I don't know I need to learn more about this let me know what you think about this lawsuit
00:23:20.700 it's going to be interesting to see how much money she wants from Taylor and how Taylor's
00:23:25.500 response is to this of course as you know if this girl would win which i don't think she will
00:23:31.760 then taylor has to change the name of her album i guess but i'll keep you posted if we hear anything
00:23:36.860 from taylor herself about this but as i said before it's kind of crazy how celebrities get
00:23:42.340 sued all the times from regular people who wants money from them i remember will smith once told
00:23:47.860 me that he got sued about 20 times every single year so of course this makes headlines but for
00:23:55.460 Maren Wade to win over Taylor Swift I mean she has an army of attorneys I can imagine so I hope
00:24:03.600 Maren Wade is aware of what she's doing here and just maybe she'll get some more followers from it
00:24:08.700 but apart from that I don't think this was a very good idea and before I go a little shameless
