Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - It Just Got WORSE for Blake !!

00:00:00.000 And guess what she found it appropriate to post about right now.

00:00:09.180 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Kjasti Flore, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:13.520 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. As you know, Blake just dumped a lot

00:00:20.060 of new evidence that she wants to present in front of a jury in the court docket this week.

00:00:26.180 I've been talking about a few of those things, but I missed this one.

00:00:29.740 As reported on in the media, Blake Lively plans to use Justin Baldoni's S.A.G.

00:00:36.360 admission about Britney Spears at trial.

00:00:40.120 You won't believe this video that she is trying to use to claim that Justin also S.A.G.

00:00:48.620 Britney Spears.

00:00:49.660 At the same time, she is trying to flood her Instagram so people will forget that she actually has a community note on one of her posts.

00:00:59.040 By the way, a lot of people said that I can't see the community note, but that is probably because you're not in the U.S.

00:01:05.200 For some reason, these community notes are geographically limited, so that is why you don't see it if you are outside of the U.S.

00:01:12.740 But anyways, Blake Lively posted today, and guess what she reminded everyone?

00:01:17.880 And guess what she found it appropriate to post about right now?

00:01:22.800 Her alcohol brand. 0.89

00:01:24.520 And she added some misinformation about her beauty product, Blake Brown.

00:01:29.900 Also, big news, Ryan Reynolds wants out of this lawsuit,

00:01:34.840 which I find interesting because he just said that he's willing to witness.

00:01:39.640 Let's look into that.

00:01:40.860 And also, let's look a bit into Liz Plank, the ex-co-host of Justin Baldoni's podcast, Man Enough.

00:01:50.400 She worked with Justin for four years.

00:01:53.380 And you won't believe this video that someone posted on Reddit recently showing how much Liz Plank loved Justin.

00:02:01.820 How do these people sleep at night?

00:02:04.000 Also, really funny, TMZ got a community note for spreading misinformation through their articles.

00:02:11.840 I love that people are being called out on Instagram now for not telling the truth or for twisting the truth to get clicks and views online.

00:02:22.360 In the meantime, Deadline is making another story trying to shade Justin Valdoni and his team.

00:02:29.620 Same journalist who's done all the other hit pieces on Justin Baldoni in Deadline.

00:02:35.240 Also, I was just watching Popcorn Planets talking to one of his amazing attorneys,

00:02:39.880 Ron Zambrano, and he said that he's 90% sure that the judge is going to toss those two extra

00:02:48.400 claims. Remember, Blake has only three claims left. And I spoke about those two other claims

00:02:53.840 yesterday that the judge is now looking at reviewing again and this attorney said that

00:02:59.300 90% he's 90% sure that your judge is going to rule on that and toss those two claims. That means that

00:03:05.840 Blake Lively goes to trial with one claim. Also if you're interested I'm on Billy Bush today and

00:03:13.180 I'll also be on Popcorn Planets live later this afternoon. Okay so let's look at Blake Lively's

00:03:20.020 latest Instagram post when I saw this this morning I was like you know I can't anymore

00:03:27.000 someone has to help Blake Lively protect herself against herself because can you imagine any worse 0.84

00:03:34.940 moment to push her alcohol brand than right now she's trying to be a relatable victim a week ago

00:03:43.420 in that statement that got that community notes and now she's just like but please remember

00:03:49.040 buy my vodka and also in that carousel of different pictures of her amazing fun life

00:03:55.880 she added a post from women's health where they're saying that her blake brown product

00:04:02.900 won some kind of price or something in her post it says meet the winners of 2026 women

00:04:09.040 women's health beauty awards and then she has added a photo of her blake brown product

00:04:16.220 But when you actually look at the website, there are 27 other hair products that Women's Health have mentioned in this award-winning list of products.

00:04:26.800 I work for a women's magazine. I know how these awards work.

00:04:32.240 So the winners of these kind of awards will always be products that have paid for product placement or advertisement in the magazine.

00:04:41.980 so I don't know if these brands actually paid to be on the list or if they're paid to be promoted

00:04:48.120 in the magazine before or spent money on ads but the fact that Blake makes it look like her

00:04:55.620 hair care won an award is just ridiculous. Someone should put a community note on that too and say

00:05:02.600 that she didn't actually win an award for her Blake Brown product. Anyways I noticed that this

00:05:07.680 time she doesn't have a caption for any of these photos because she's afraid that someone's going

00:05:12.940 to go after her for what she says but I can assure you she is going to post something almost every

00:05:19.060 day now to make that statement with the community note on just disappear further and further down 0.78

00:05:24.780 on her Instagram grid because she can't delete that post because that will look really suspicious

00:05:30.660 so she's just going to try and like flood her Instagram with other stuff so people don't really

00:05:36.220 notice it anymore. Anyways, here's a story from Rob Shooter saying that Ryan Reynolds begs Blake

00:05:42.660 Lively to settle. This is going to drag him down too. Well, it's already dragged him down. Insider

00:05:50.000 says he doesn't want to be part of the circus. Well, he created the circus with his wife and a

00:05:56.520 lot of people think that Ryan is the mastermind behind all of this. I do agree. I don't think

00:06:02.300 Blake Lively is sharp enough to be behind all of this herself, to be honest. It says here in Rob's

00:06:07.720 reporting that Ryan Reynolds is standing by his wife, Blake Lively, but insider says behind closed

00:06:12.880 door, he's urging her to end the fight. I'm not sure if this insider is spot on here. I don't

00:06:20.080 think Ryan wants to end this fight because I believe that he will never give up. Ryan will

00:06:26.700 never be defeated. It continues to say Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni is heading to trial and

00:06:32.920 Reynolds now officially named as potential witness. The stakes have skyrocketed. I don't know why on

00:06:39.940 earth Blake would put Ryan on the stand in at trial because he is just going to make things

00:06:47.040 so much worse and that of course means that Baldoni's team can bring up Ryan's text messages

00:06:53.220 as well. If he's on the stand, why wouldn't they be able to do that if he's also a witness here?

00:06:59.300 Because as you know, it's not only Blake's team who's allowed to cross-examine the witness,

00:07:04.340 Baldoni's team is also allowed to do that. Here, an insider says Ryan is fully supportive

00:07:09.340 publicly. He hasn't supported her publicly yet. He liked the post on Instagram. If that is to

00:07:16.220 support someone publicly, I don't know. That's very weak if you ask me. Also something I noticed,

00:07:22.800 no other celebrities have come out and supported Blake Lively publicly since all her SH claims

00:07:29.800 were tossed out. No one said, oh, this is so unfair and we're standing with her. No one.

00:07:37.040 Crickets in Hollywood. So the insider said that Brian fully support her publicly, but privately

00:07:42.500 he wants this settled. Why? Because it's no longer just her battle. This is pulling him in and he

00:07:48.800 knows it he doesn't want to be dragged through court the pressure is building fast yes ryan also

00:07:57.800 keeps posting things on his instagram these people are just so predictable and yesterday or was it the

00:08:04.000 day before he did as he posted a story on his instagram because he wants people to support

00:08:11.140 cancer research of course now it's like look i'm so charitable we're such good people and a friend

00:08:18.320 of mine texted me and he was like look at that t-shirt he's wearing it says finish it do you

00:08:23.420 think it means something and I'm like I'm sure it means something because you know everything Ryan

00:08:29.400 does is thought through maybe he's just wearing this to say finish cancer but who knows maybe he's

00:08:36.220 telling the world that they're going to finish it all right so let's look at Liz Plank for a second

00:08:41.920 Remember that co-host from Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath's podcast, Man Enough, where

00:08:48.320 they talked about toxic masculinity and how men basically could become better versions

00:08:53.460 of themselves?

00:08:55.400 Liz Plank was his partner for four years on this podcast.

00:09:01.360 And this morning, I saw someone posted this on Reddit.

00:09:04.520 This is a video from 2023.

00:09:07.360 Liz Plank is saying happy birthday to Justin Baldoni, whom she loved very much.

00:09:14.360 Happy birthday Justin! Thank you so much for being a part of my life, making the world so much better just by being in it.

00:09:21.360 I love you. You just model the kind of masculinity, the kind of humanity.

00:09:28.360 Literally, if everyone could practice, it would really change the world.

00:09:32.360 last time i saw you was at your birthday party in new york it was that was so fun that was so fun

00:09:43.780 i love that you came of course i came everyone was obsessed with um justin at my birthday party

00:09:49.040 did i tell you no yeah everyone was like very very obsessed and then we face time jamie at

00:09:54.240 my birthday party yeah it was a whole thing well let me tell you in that if that is also from 2023

00:09:59.340 I am not 100% sure if that podcast is from 2023, but in that podcast, you could hear

00:10:05.920 her saying that, thanks for coming to my birthday, Justin.

00:10:10.160 All my guests, everyone loved you so much.

00:10:13.100 They were so obsessed with you.

00:10:14.980 So her birthday, I checked, is in March.

00:10:18.220 I think it was on the 19th of March.

00:10:21.260 And if this was also in 2023, which I believe it was, then she said this to Justin.

00:10:28.560 She had just invited him to her birthday party. Remember that. She said that to Justin after her

00:10:35.220 birthday party. And just less than a month later, she's having this text exchange with Ryan Reynolds.

00:10:43.820 Here, Ryan says, this is on the 12th of April. So like two weeks after her birthday, three weeks

00:10:51.200 after her birthday, Ryan says, I'm a little baffled by Mr. Baldoni. I would love any guidance at some

00:10:57.780 point he's fishing here and Liz Plank says rats I tried to warn Blake on the red flags but was

00:11:05.900 hoping he had gotten better I'm on a shoot right now want me to call you after Ryan says sure

00:11:13.480 zero pressure always zero pressure with Ryan Reynolds by the way we can chat tomorrow and

00:11:19.720 sigh then Liz Plank says oh I'm so sorry Ryan working on his set was truly one of the worst

00:11:29.120 days of my life but it's survivable and I'll help call me anytime tomorrow why would she said that

00:11:38.940 working on his set was the worst day of my life first of all she did a podcast with him for four

00:11:46.240 years. I don't know what set this was. She was on a set with him one day and that was the worst

00:11:52.720 experience of her life. So then why would she invite him to her birthday party? I mean, is it

00:11:58.860 possible to be such a hypocrite? Remember, Liz Plank waited until that New York Times article 0.99

00:12:07.880 dropped before she said that, oh, I'm leaving his podcast. Here you can see People Magazine did a

00:12:14.460 story about it, saying Justin Baldoni's Man Enough co-host, Liz Planks, leaves podcast after

00:12:20.740 Blake Lively claims. We all deserve better, she said. On December 20, Lively accused Baldoni of

00:12:29.180 S-agents on set and a retaliatory public smear campaign in illegal filing. My question is,

00:12:35.720 why didn't she leave earlier if it was such a horrific experience? And obviously she was 0.90

00:12:40.680 talking to Ryan and Blake this entire time because there are text messages between them

00:12:46.880 from 2023 one and a half years earlier and then she just kept working with Justin. So why did she

00:12:55.360 wait until the moment of that New York Times article dropped? Well because she wanted to help

00:13:01.340 them to take him down and that just says everything you need to know about Liz Plank. Okay let's jump 0.97

00:13:08.920 to this TMZ article, which is really funny. I love when people step in and actually take action

00:13:15.840 against these like twisted news article. TMZ has poured out so much misinformation about this case.

00:13:24.020 As you know, I reported on it every time they did so. And the other day they did this headline

00:13:29.580 saying Justin Baldoni wants Jenny Slate Colleen Hoover's testimony barred in Blake Lively trial.

00:13:36.540 As you know, Justin Baldoni is no longer a defendant in this case.

00:13:40.660 The defendants are only parties, wafer parties, tag, the crisis management company, and it ends with us movie LLC.

00:13:50.740 There are no individuals here.

00:13:52.700 But TMZ wanted to make a more interesting headline.

00:13:55.180 So they said that Justin Baldoni personally did not want these people, these women to testify.

00:14:01.280 So someone added a community note.

00:14:03.520 Here it says a federal judge tossed out Blake Lively's SH claims against her.

00:14:09.880 It ends with us director Justin Baldoni roughly a month before the high stake trial was set to begin.

00:14:15.520 The judge threw out 10 of the 13 claims in Lively's lawsuit, leaving only three claims against defendants that don't include Baldoni personally.

00:14:25.500 Justin Baldoni is not a defendant in any of the remaining claims.

00:14:30.560 Well said.

00:14:32.180 That is still on there.

00:14:33.800 And as I said in the beginning of this episode, if you're not in the U.S., you might not see

00:14:37.800 these community notes.

00:14:39.380 But if you turn on your VPN, you probably will.

00:14:42.260 Okay, so let's talk about this ridiculous Britney Spears story, how Blake is trying

00:14:47.920 to make Justin Baldoni look like a predator for giving Britney Spears a hug.

00:14:53.580 But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video, TesterUp.

00:14:58.280 Okay, so this is for everyone who wants to make a little extra cash on the side.

00:15:02.200 If you're like me and you spend a lot of time scrolling on your phone or playing games,

00:15:07.640 this is actually an interesting way to turn that extra time into money.

00:15:12.800 TesterUp is an app that actually pays you to test apps and games.

00:15:17.620 You just download the games through the TesterUp app,

00:15:20.560 complete simple tasks while you're playing,

00:15:23.700 and the rewards are added directly to your balance.

00:15:26.840 I tried it, and it's really simple.

00:15:29.880 You just pick a game you like, and then just start playing.

00:15:33.620 Some of the offers can get up to $250 per app, depending on how far you get in the game.

00:15:39.660 Everything is tracked inside the app, so you can always see how much you've earned.

00:15:44.540 They already have over 25 million users and very good Trustpilot reviews, which is always reassuring.

00:15:51.500 Once your balance has reached $55, voila, you can withdraw your money.

00:15:57.180 So if you're already spending time on your phone anyways, why not get paid while doing it?

00:16:02.920 You can download TesterUp for free using the link in my description or scan this QR code.

00:16:09.320 Thanks again to TesterUp for sponsoring this video.

00:16:12.460 And before I go, a big thank you to TesterUp for sponsoring this video.

00:16:15.740 You can download Tester Up for free from the link in my description or by scanning this QR code.

00:16:22.480 Okay, so Daily Mail reported on this saying Blake Lively plans to use Justin Baldoni's SH admission about Britney Spears at trial.

00:16:32.480 I remember reading about this in someone's deposition, maybe it was Jenny Slade's deposition,

00:16:38.080 where they spoke about fangirling over Britney's torso or something because she was so well toned.

00:16:45.740 And Justin said, oh, yeah, me too.

00:16:47.860 And they were like, Justin said that he also was looking at Britney Spears' torso or her abs or whatever.

00:16:54.760 And they were shocked by that.

00:16:56.480 And here, Blake has managed to find a video, an interview Justin Boltoni did about his meeting with Britney Spears.

00:17:06.840 It says here that Blake plans to embarrass Justin by using an interview where he admits he may have S-aged Britney Spears in their upcoming trial.

00:17:16.640 By the way, that is actually not correct because he never said that he S-aged her in this interview.

00:17:24.340 He said, oh, did I just harass Britney Spears?

00:17:27.540 Very different thing, by the way.

00:17:29.220 So this reporting by Daily Mail is not correct.

00:17:32.100 Just keep that in mind.

00:17:33.140 the actress wants to show the jury a clip from 2017 during which Baldoni recalls how he went

00:17:39.820 up to Britney and gave her a hug even though they didn't know each other. Britney was filming an

00:17:45.860 episode of Jane the Virgin the show in which Baldoni starred and recoiled from him in surprise 0.73

00:17:51.040 when hugged in the clip Baldoni admitted that he asked himself did that did I just harass Britney

00:17:56.620 Spears and here they're saying lively plans to use the video to draw a parallel where Baldoni's

00:18:02.080 conduct on the set of it ends with us the 2024 movie they both starred in and he directed in 0.97

00:18:08.940 the lawsuit she claims that boldoni sh her and then launched an online smear campaign when she

00:18:14.520 stood up for herself well as you know the sh claims are tossed out so this video is obviously

00:18:19.880 not going to get used in trial there is no purpose for this video as you know blake dumped a ton of

00:18:26.860 new evidence evidence uh at the at the docket the other day and i've been looking through some of it

00:18:33.040 and the press has picked up some of it other content creators have talked about other things

00:18:37.520 that she wants to use at trial it's interesting that her team thinks this is more relevant

00:18:42.340 than my video my little bump video that she wants to get tossed out she does not want the jury

00:18:48.240 to see my video but she wants them to see this interview with justin baldoni here's a little

00:18:53.820 snippet of what he actually says.

00:19:23.060 I mean, showing this to a jury will only make them like Justin Baldoni.

00:19:28.500 I'm sorry.

00:19:29.300 None of this stuff is going to work, especially not showing clips of Justin Baldoni.

00:19:34.480 Because to me, he just seems like this genuinely nice and polite and thoughtful person.

00:19:42.120 And that goes for every interview I've actually seen with him.

00:19:45.460 So for Blake to try and bring this up at trial to say,

00:19:49.120 hey, he hugged Britney Spears because he thought they were friends because they had tweeted to

00:19:55.380 each other. How inappropriate. Can you imagine what he did to me? He also hugged me and other

00:20:01.580 people without asking first. Yeah, maybe at that point, Justin Baldoni's attorney should bring up

00:20:08.360 the fact that Blake Lively improvised kissing Justin on the set. I mean, they're going to have

00:20:15.680 a field day with her on that stand. Okay, so let's jump to this article in Deadline. I mean,

00:20:22.540 this reporter or journalist, Dominic Patton, he has done nothing but tried to smear Justin

00:20:29.240 Baldoni for the last year. Every single article he has written for Deadline is biased towards

00:20:36.460 Blake and Ryan. I'm sure he's got Ryan Reynolds on speed dial on his phone and gets fed all this

00:20:43.820 information of how he should put these articles together. Because writing this type of article

00:20:49.220 right now just tells me everything I need to know about where Dominic Patton stands.

00:20:54.860 Here's the headline. No Johnny Depp, no Rebel Wilson. Justin Baldoni and Crisis PR team wants

00:21:02.620 past clients and smear websites kept from Blake Lively jury. Why would they want to bring Johnny

00:21:10.000 Depp and Rebel Wilson into this case when they have nothing to do with this case whatsoever.

00:21:17.040 He starts the article saying, now, less than six weeks before the trial in Lively's recently

00:21:21.760 trimmed multimillion dollar case against her, it ends with us co-star and his way for his studios.

00:21:27.500 Brass kicks off on May 18 in a federal court, blah, blah, blah. Just recently trimmed. He doesn't

00:21:34.440 say that they tossed out 10 of her 13 claims he's just saying they trimmed it a little bit and it

00:21:40.920 continues in one particular instance with retaliation breach of contract and aiding and

00:21:46.340 abetting claims staring them in the face Baldoni and the Melissa Nathan led so-called crisis PR

00:21:53.920 team at the heart of the alleged 2024 online smear campaign against the actress want any mention of

00:22:01.160 some very high-profile past clients, kept quiet.

00:22:05.480 Why would anyone want their client list presented at trial

00:22:09.260 when that's nothing to do with this case?

00:22:11.440 And he continues to say,

00:22:13.140 this latest move comes amidst the weekend squall of 11th-hour motions,

00:22:18.820 some sealed, some not.

00:22:20.620 Memorandums of law, potential witness lists,

00:22:23.060 no testimony from Taylor Swift, but she will be mentioned.

00:22:26.440 Ryan Reynolds is showing up for sure.

00:22:29.080 How does he know that?

00:22:29.980 all because he has Ryan Reynolds on speed dial, verdict forms, and more.

00:22:34.300 To that clumsily citing a grab bag of awkward comments,

00:22:38.880 minor confrontations, and perceived slights,

00:22:42.420 Team Baldoni are also seeking to make sure that over the two weeks or so for the trial,

00:22:47.500 the jury never hears telling and testimony of alleged bad experiences of other women

00:22:52.920 when it comes to the Jane the Virgin alum.

00:22:55.600 Of course, he does not mention that Blake Lyle wants the judge to not allow any articles portraying her as a bully, mean girl, someone who got married on a plantation or someone who run a tone-deaf PR campaign of a movie about DV.

00:23:15.520 No, no, no, no.

00:23:16.780 Dominique does not mention any of that stuff.

00:23:19.480 He doesn't find that relevant.

00:23:20.720 The only thing that's relevant here is what Justice Valdoni doesn't want to present in front of a jury

00:23:27.080 because it has nothing to do with him.

00:23:29.320 It has nothing to do with this case.

00:23:31.520 It says here, despite text and other communications that seems to indicate a plan to tear lively to digital shreds,

00:23:39.680 plus some telling depositions from tag employees,

00:23:43.000 Nathan and Abel have always denied there was a smear campaign that ever went beyond the figurative drawing board.

00:23:49.200 Yes, they have. But this journalist obviously believed that there was.

00:23:54.920 And then he adds a comment from Amber Heard at the end here saying that social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying a lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.

00:24:10.880 And she also said, I saw this firsthand and up close. It's a horrifying as it is destructive.

00:24:17.160 That's how he wanted to end this article,

00:24:19.260 saying that Dominique doesn't believe that the truth has caught up with us yet, I guess.

00:24:24.260 Why would he quote Amber Heard if he didn't believe that?

00:24:27.880 And did he believe Amber Heard?

00:24:29.260 It seems like he's also a very big fan of this theory that Melissa Nathan,

00:24:34.020 who works for TAG, the crisis PR company,

00:24:37.080 had to hire all these bots and create this inorganic campaign against Blake 1.00

00:24:42.860 because she allegedly did the same to Amber Heard. 1.00

00:24:47.220 As you know, Melissa Nathan was also representing Johnny Depp.

00:24:50.540 So she must be really good at this stuff 0.76

00:24:52.980 because she works better than the FBI and the CIA.

00:24:56.240 Remember, Blake Lively hired an ex-CIA guy a while back to help her.

00:25:02.400 We don't know what he's been up to, by the way.

00:25:04.480 Maybe he's the one behind all her new followers on Instagram.

00:25:09.280 But apparently, Melissa Nathan is smarter than all these people 0.85

00:25:12.780 because they can't figure out what she's done in this case.

00:25:16.820 I'm not commenting on what happened with Rebel Wilson because I don't know.

00:25:21.480 We've seen text messages there that there might have been things going on

00:25:25.160 behind the scenes that weren't that ethical.

00:25:28.060 But in this case, there is zero evidence of that.

00:25:32.160 We've seen so many texts, so many emails,

00:25:34.720 and nothing points to Justin Baldoni or anyone from his team

00:25:39.440 that they wanted to hurt Blake.

00:25:42.200 anyways that's it for me you guys but before i go remember you can download tester up from the
