00:00:00.200 Now streaming on Paramount+.
00:00:02.600 My center, my soul is gone.
00:00:06.320 From Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan.
00:00:09.700 Mine is not a family designed to withstand tragedy.
00:00:13.500 Starring Academy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer
00:00:16.380 and Golden Globe nominee Kurt Russell.
00:00:19.460 The worry is what you do next.
00:00:21.920 You will have as much life to live as you allow yourself.
00:00:25.160 The Madison.
00:00:26.480 New series now streaming only on Paramount+.
00:00:30.000 when she's suggesting that he was acting very inappropriate with his co-star.
00:00:40.260 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Tashdi Flohr, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:44.860 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. I know a lot of people love the article
00:00:51.980 I spoke about yesterday in my episode that Daily Mail published. It was really brutal.
00:00:57.620 They mentioned every contradiction in her behavior and what she's come out and said in public
00:01:03.940 and also revealing a lot of the evidence that we've all seen but the media has not reported on yet.
00:01:10.620 I was looking at the comment section of that article today and I couldn't find one single comment supporting Blake Lively.
00:01:18.780 That makes me wonder how the media is going to handle this case when it goes to trial,
00:01:25.060 if it goes to trial, because we don't know for sure yet. Things can happen. But I wonder how
00:01:30.880 the New York Times is going to report on this. I'm very curious about that. And as you know,
00:01:35.960 Daily Mail said in that article that the New York Times reported on this in that infamous article,
00:01:44.480 we can bury anyone. They said that they reported on this in bad faith. That is a huge statement.
00:01:52.880 They also stated that Blake Lively has already lost in the public opinion.
00:01:59.220 So yes, let's talk a little bit about what's going on in the case
00:02:03.240 and what's taking the judge so long to rule on Justin Baldoni
00:02:06.920 and the Wayfair Party's summary judgment and judgment on the pleadings.
00:02:11.340 Everyone is waiting very impatiently
00:02:14.020 and everyone has different theories about what's going on.
00:02:18.080 Also, Ryan Reynolds now knows what his legacy is going to be.
00:02:22.880 it's a donut. And we have to talk about this Family Guy episode. It's from some years ago,
00:02:29.860 but why would they make an episode where Ryan Reynolds comes off as gay? And that brings me to
00:02:36.420 this article that a lot of you guys have sent me, where this journalist is digging into Ryan
00:02:42.480 Reynolds' behavior during the promotion of Free Guy, when she's suggesting that he was acting
00:02:48.800 very inappropriate with his co-star. And let's look at what's going on with Taylor Swift's
00:02:55.180 wedding. There's another article today in the Daily Mail reminding everyone that Blake Lively
00:03:01.240 is not invited. And yes, we have to talk about some more dragons as well in this episode.
00:03:07.780 And I wanted to get into this really serious situation surrounding the Bachelorettes. If you
00:03:12.820 missed that, TMZ released a video yesterday showing the bachelorettes throwing metal chairs
00:03:21.200 at her ex-boyfriend with her daughter present in the room. It is so disturbing that I had to
00:03:28.500 turn it off. I couldn't watch it. And now ABC decided to cancel the entire season
00:03:34.360 of the bachelorettes. Let's talk about all these consequences and how the bachelorette is now
00:03:40.900 coming out to say that she's the victim. Also, the producers actually knew about her background
00:03:48.440 because she's been arrested for this before, but still they decided to cast her. What's going on?
00:03:56.940 Okay, so let's first talk a little bit about this ruling that we're all waiting for.
00:04:00.520 I've been trying to get as much information as possible, finding out why the judge hasn't
00:04:06.860 ruled yet. A lot of people are a bit worried why he's waiting so long. So I've been listening to a
00:04:13.380 few different attorneys with their different opinions of why he's waited so long. I've been
00:04:18.480 trying to do my own research and there's not really any answer. But some people like Not
00:04:24.820 Actually Golden, an attorney that I follow that you should too, she's amazing. And she said that
00:04:30.000 she thinks it's positive for the wayfair parties that the judge hasn't ruled yet. And the reason
00:04:36.720 for that is because if he was going to allow all of Blake Lively's 13 claims to move forward,
00:04:43.760 he wouldn't have spent this much time on this ruling. So she thinks that this means that the
00:04:49.520 judge is dismissing parts of Blake Lively's claims. As you know, we are waiting for the judge
00:04:56.060 to rule on summary judgment, which is basically all the evidence that has come out so far. And
00:05:02.840 the judge needs to look at all of that and say, hey, does she actually have a case? Also, we are
00:05:07.800 waiting for him to rule on the motions on the pleadings, which means only taking the law into
00:05:13.760 consideration and say, hey, according to the law, does this actually hold up to be a legal claim
00:05:22.480 that should go to trial or not? Anyway, so what we should expect is basically that some of the
00:05:28.580 claims will be dismissed. Anyways, let's talk about Ryan Reynolds here. He has a new ad coming
00:05:34.300 out. He is doing another collaboration with Tim Horton. I was a bit surprised by this because I
00:05:40.820 remember a lot of Canadians contacted me during the first collaboration that Ryan had with Tim
00:05:47.600 Horton, which was for some scrambled eggs. And they said that they removed the ad because it
00:05:53.600 got so much backlash because they used Ryan Reynolds. So now apparently they want to use him
00:05:59.800 again and on March 23rd you can buy the Ryan Reynolds donut. Pretty good huh? Ryan Reynolds
00:06:10.640 inventor of the maple butter glaze? I guess this is my legacy now. Yeah he says I guess this is
00:06:17.260 my legacy now i guess so ryan a donut is your legacy tim horton is saying here that after the
00:06:25.580 huge success of ryan scrambled eggs breakfast boxes which was a new product we launched for
00:06:31.420 tim tim's guests in collaboration with ryan we wanted to do something similar with ryan's
00:06:37.400 signature donut and create something new from scratch that would be uniquely tim's uh then
00:06:43.760 And Ryan is saying here, after the rip-roaring success of our scrambled eggs, Tim's asked me to follow up ideas.
00:06:51.680 Almost every idea I pitched involves salmon.
00:06:54.360 It's incredibly delicious and I'm so excited for Canadians to try it.
00:06:58.560 If it goes well, get ready for salmon, says Ryan.
00:07:01.620 So yes, you can buy a Ryan Reynolds donut if you live in Canada.
00:07:06.640 And I love that he was joking about this being his legacy.
00:07:09.620 while I think that would be a better legacy than what we are seeing right now that potentially could
00:07:16.500 be his legacy then I think it's better that it is a donut. Anyways thank you Sonny for sending me
00:07:22.080 this video. This is from an episode of Family Guy. It's from season four and the episode was called
00:07:28.900 Peter's Lost Youth and it's basically about Peter Griffin believing that Ryan Reynolds is gay and
00:07:35.760 he's trying to make a pass at him there is a scene from a restaurant where ryan is feeding peter
00:07:42.700 with some meat and he puts his entire hand in his mouth and just does this really like suggestive
00:07:50.380 movement in his mouth and then peter goes to his house afterwards and ryan is opening the door
00:07:57.740 wearing not a not wearing a shirt and peter is saying to him you know are you trying to take
00:08:02.600 make a pass at me and Ryan was like oh no no no I'm not gay but you know in Hollywood things are
00:08:07.060 a little different. Blah blah blah. Anyways it made me wonder why they chose to make an episode
00:08:12.800 about Ryan Reynolds being gay and then it reminded me of this article that I read in Medium. A lot of
00:08:20.640 you guys sent me this article and asked me to talk about it. I think it's a little controversial
00:08:24.640 but I will mention it anyway. So this journalist basically looked into how Ryan Reynolds was
00:08:30.560 promoting the movie Free Guy with his much younger co-star Joey Keery and how his behavior towards
00:08:37.200 Joey at times seemed very inappropriate. There is a photo of Ryan feeding him with a banana
00:08:44.980 and there's a lot of different clips from press outings they had together where Ryan was joking
00:08:51.520 around sitting on his lap and this journalist is also pointing out how Ryan has been very touchy
00:08:58.540 with a lot of his male co-stars throughout the years when he was promoting his movies.
00:09:04.340 I don't know if he asked people if it was okay that he was physical with them before starting
00:09:09.520 to touch them like this. But also, I feel like this is his sense of humor. I don't know if I
00:09:15.920 believe that Ryan Reynolds is gay, but I do think it's a power thing. And I definitely think,
00:09:22.000 And I definitely think with Joey Carey, what he did with him is the same thing that Blake
00:09:28.580 Lively did with Isabella Faria.
00:09:31.300 And this is how they keep manipulating people, especially people who are not as powerful
00:09:35.600 as they are.
00:09:37.200 Anyways, talking about power and dragons, someone also tipped me about this in a comment
00:09:43.520 on YouTube saying that Van Zand, which is the name of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
00:09:49.860 the shell company that they used to subpoena Stephanie Jones to get Jennifer Abel's phone
00:09:56.700 to give to New York Times so they can cherry pick some text messages and make it seem like
00:10:02.520 there was a retaliation campaign against Blake. Anyways, Van Zand is also the name of Matthew
00:10:08.840 McConaughey's character in the movie Reign of Fire. I haven't seen this movie. It's apparently
00:10:15.940 a post-apocalyptic action film where dragons awaken from beneath London and destroy civilization.
00:10:23.840 It's from 2002. I don't know if this is why they chose that name for the company but I find it
00:10:30.520 quite interesting that there's also dragons here. As you know Blake and Ryan love their dragons. Now
00:10:36.920 I don't know how many are left but it wouldn't surprise me if they actually named the company
00:10:41.520 after this character it says here that the personality of Van Zandt in the movie is unhinged
00:10:48.480 fearless highly disciplined intense and focused solely on Judy and he says he uses parachuting
00:10:56.420 archangels as bait to ground dragons followed by targeting them with explosive crossbow bolts
00:11:04.740 he believed the world is his and not the dragons so this guy actually believes that he is above the
00:11:11.120 dragons. And I think Blake and Ryan actually believes that themselves. Their egos are so
00:11:16.520 huge and it didn't cost Blake much to use Taylor Swift as her dragon. As you know, this infamous
00:11:24.380 text message that she sent to Justin Baldoni referring to Taylor as her dragon. Okay, talking
00:11:31.120 about Taylor, there's another story today about her wedding plans. But before we get into that,
00:11:36.820 I wanted to thank the two sponsors of this video, Factor and Ro. Now that we're getting closer and
00:11:42.540 closer to summer, I am trying to really make an effort to stay healthy and think about what I eat.
00:11:50.240 But sometimes when you're busy, it's so easy to jump to simple solutions and just snack on
00:11:55.540 unhealthy stuff that you have laying around in the house. And that's why I really like Factor.
00:12:00.540 You get fully prepared meals designed by nutrition and crafted by chefs.
00:12:07.080 And it's ready in two minutes.
00:12:10.180 Magnus and I have tried a lot of different options lately, and we have some clear favorites.
00:12:15.360 And the best thing is, whenever I open the fridge, it's like opening a menu to a restaurant.
00:12:20.620 I also love cooking, but having these options, especially right after you come home from the gym,
00:12:26.400 or you did a workout, or you're in a hurry, you have to go somewhere,
00:12:29.660 it's perfect to just throw one of this in the microwave and get it ready so fast. You get lean

00:13:27.260 sponsoring this video. There's a lot of talk out there about GLP-1s right now and I wanted to make
00:13:34.280 a few things clear. This is not something you start doing if you just want to lose a couple of pounds.
00:13:40.620 This is medication designed for people who really need it, who are suffering from health-related
00:13:47.500 weight issues. GLP-1 medications through Rho are prescribed for weight loss management. Although
00:13:54.300 many patients also report fewer cravings, more energy, better lab numbers and improvements that
00:14:01.060 go beyond the number on the scale. What's new now is that they're actually offering a GLP-1
00:14:07.200 pill. That is really helpful for a lot of people that are intimidated by injections. It's one
00:14:13.100 daily pill with the same weight loss ingredients as the injection, but still delivering comparable
00:14:19.220 results. You can access this through Rho, which offers the first FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for
00:14:26.620 weight loss. You also get 100% online care, provider messaging, insurance checks, and support
00:14:33.720 throughout your treatment. If you're curious if this could be a part of your health journey,
00:14:37.840 Go to roe.co slash Flossum to see if you're eligible for the new GLP-1 pill on Roe.
00:14:46.020 That's roe.co slash Flossum to get started on Roe.
00:14:51.160 And go to roe.co slash safety for boxed warning and full safety information about GLP-1 medications.
00:14:57.500 Okay, so the Daily Mail is revealing today that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding plans are revealed.
00:15:04.240 They've been more guarded than Fort Knox, but now insiders finally lift lid on dates, singers' super specific demands and brutal Blake Lively whispers.
00:15:17.060 It says here that four sources have exclusively confirmed to the Daily Mail that the tight end and his superstar fiancée Taylor Swift, both 36, will tie the knot this summer before the new football season kicks off.
00:15:30.280 The plans are said to be so tightly under wraps that even guests are currently unaware of the exact date and location.
00:15:37.840 I have a feeling that this information now leaked with four sources right now because Taylor Swift needs to clean up her image a little bit.
00:15:48.740 And this is a very positive twist on Taylor Swift's image.
00:15:52.940 It's about a wedding.
00:15:53.940 It's about celebrating love.
00:15:55.560 So I think for her to come out with this now is not a coincidence.
00:16:00.180 As you know, she also received a lot of backlash after those text messages between her and Blake Lively.
00:16:05.180 And the sorcerer says,
00:16:06.660 So they're basically asking everyone to put the summer on hold?
00:16:17.560 That's a big ask.
00:16:19.120 Anyways, a second source confirmed that nuptials will definitely take place prior to football season
00:16:25.720 and that Kelsey will be able to attend his full training camp schedule.
00:16:30.220 The Chiefs' first practice is currently scheduled for July 22nd.
00:16:35.020 So it will happen before July 22nd, I guess.
00:16:38.100 An insider continued to say Taylor doesn't want it to be like Selena's wedding,
00:16:42.740 referring to the recent nuptials of the pop star's best friend, Selena Gomez,
00:16:48.300 who wed Benny Blanco in White Marquise Outdoor
00:16:53.100 at the Seacrest Nursery in Santa Barbara last September.
00:16:58.660 It is understood the worry is that privacy
00:17:00.960 couldn't be properly ensured at an outdoor venue.
00:17:05.200 And here we go.
00:17:05.860 We're also told that Swift has seemingly put the months of drama
00:17:09.340 with It Ends With Us actress behind her.
00:17:12.660 After being dragged into the latter's legal saga with Justin Baldoni,
00:17:16.640 swift and lively are still not as close as they once were okay are they trying to convince us
00:17:23.960 that they're still friends here i don't get it and she's put the drama behind her well that's great
00:17:29.420 for taylor swift that she managed to do that but there's a lot of people involved here that she
00:17:34.740 helped hurt with her actions and with her text messages but taylor swift has moved on and they
00:17:42.620 Remind everyone here that as part of Lively's ongoing court battle,
00:17:45.940 the firm of Girl Pals' private text messages were made public,
00:17:49.420 including one in which Swift referred to Baldoni as a bitch.
00:17:54.500 Kelsey, for his part, drew a line in the sand last year
00:17:57.560 when he unfollowed Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, on Instagram,
00:18:01.680 with sources claiming at the time that the social media diss
00:18:04.920 was deliberately related to the legal saga.
00:18:09.040 It would be weird for Travis Kelsey to invite Ryan Reynolds to his wedding and he's like, hey, should we follow each other again?
00:18:16.660 I mean, that would look so bad on Travis Kelsey and it would be very embarrassing as well.
00:18:21.740 So, yes, they are not going to this wedding.
00:18:24.280 I'm 100 percent sure.
00:18:26.080 And even though if they are in touch, it would just be a terrible public look.
00:18:31.300 or maybe because this wedding is happening after the trial maybe they'll wait to send out invitation
00:18:40.480 to see how what happens in the trial if Blake Lively wins maybe then she's invited who knows
00:18:46.900 I wouldn't be surprised people in Hollywood are just so cynical and so calculated and such
00:18:53.160 hypocrites talking about that this bachelorette scandal is outrageous so yesterday TMZ released
00:19:01.080 a video of The Bachelorette. I haven't been following The Bachelorette for many, many years.
00:19:06.080 Her name is Taylor Frankie Paul and she was also in another reality show called Secret Lives of
00:19:12.140 Mormons Wives. And this is where it's interesting because in that first reality show she was a part
00:19:18.720 of, it was revealed that she had a history of DV against her husband or her boyfriend at the time.
00:19:27.120 I don't remember if they were married or not. And this was revealed in the show. This video
00:19:31.060 that now is leaked was never revealed, which is from 2022 that was just released, was not public
00:19:39.440 until basically yesterday or the day before. And since she was a star on Secret Lives are Mormons
00:19:46.140 Wives, she was chosen by ABC to be the next Bachelorette. They already finished shooting
00:19:52.040 the entire season and the first episode was supposed to air on Sunday. But yesterday ABC said
00:19:59.920 we are canceling the entire season. So now there are so many questions here. So this video I
00:20:08.160 couldn't watch the entire video because it made me physically ill. Basically it's Taylor and her
00:20:14.040 ex Dakota fighting over something but she is being physical to him. He is not doing anything. He's
00:20:21.020 just trying to protect his body and then she started throwing metal chairs at him. She threw
00:20:26.740 three metal chairs at him while her daughter was sitting in the sofa and it also seemed like one of
00:20:32.600 the chairs hit her daughter. And the fact is Taylor had already pled guilty of aggregated assault
00:20:39.860 against Dakota and she was still cast to be The Bachelorette. The producers then obviously didn't
00:20:50.580 care about this and they probably thought that hey this could be extra good television because
00:20:56.680 there's controversy here we've learned a lot now from everything that came out from America's top
00:21:02.700 model and all the controversies surrounding that Netflix tv show and everything that goes on behind
00:21:08.360 the scenes and how producers work to wind people up to go against each other and to create more
00:21:15.540 drama but now that we've seen this video and on top of that there was another incident just three
00:21:24.000 weeks ago where Dakota filed a protective order against his ex. So she was actually on probation
00:21:31.620 when this happened. So this is really serious. And since this video was dropped on TMZ, AMC decided
00:21:37.940 to just cancel the entire season. I don't think they have a choice here. They had to do that.
00:21:43.320 And it's so much money involved. First of all, every episode of The Bachelorette has a budget
00:21:50.980 of about two million dollars on top of that they have all these sponsors they have all these deals
00:21:57.480 with hotels with restaurants other places and brands that are going to appear in each episode
00:22:04.300 they also have a big crew working on post-production they hadn't finished putting together
00:22:10.680 all the episodes yet so a lot of people are just going to get fired and all the other contenders
00:22:16.820 who spend so much of their time being on this show that is never going to air.
00:22:23.800 And there are reports now also that there were a lot of red flags during filming
00:22:29.100 that her behavior was troubling as well during the production of The Bachelorette.
00:22:35.340 So why didn't anyone do anything until this video was dropped?
00:22:40.160 Yeah, and now of course everyone is blaming each other.
00:22:43.080 Who's responsible for this?
00:22:44.500 Is it ABC? Is it Warner Bros Discovery?
00:22:47.180 He's also part of this.
00:22:48.680 Who was the producer who cast her and decided to cast her
00:22:52.320 and decided to keep her in the production
00:22:54.820 after they've seen some of her troubling behavior?
00:22:59.420 There's a lot of questions out there right now that needs to be answered.
00:23:03.900 On top of this, Taylor came out yesterday through a rep on Instagram
00:23:08.700 portraying herself as a victim.
00:23:12.460 Listen to this.
00:23:14.500 It says here, Taylor is very grateful for ABC's support as she prioritizes her family's safety
00:23:22.560 and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse, as well as
00:23:29.860 threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps
00:23:36.960 to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm. There are too many women
00:23:43.380 who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive jealous ex-partners who refuse to
00:23:49.840 let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse,
00:23:55.240 retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support
00:24:02.040 and preparing to own and share her story. Yeah, no one who has seen that video that you can watch
00:24:10.880 on TMZ if you want to I would suggest for people not to actually watch it because it I don't know
00:24:17.440 it's just awful and and the fact that now she's trying to be a victim here and saying that he's
00:24:23.040 retaliating against her I mean yeah we've heard those things before obviously and now yes another
00:24:29.040 woman is trying to portray herself as a victim it's disgusting anyways thank you guys so much
