Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - It's ALL coming out NOW !!

00:00:00.000 And then she tried to save herself by throwing everyone under the bus. 1.00

00:00:05.300 It's so juicy.

00:00:11.240 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.

00:00:12.940 I'm Sjæshti Flår, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:15.680 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:19.120 Okay, so this case is getting so complicated, you guys.

00:00:22.880 It's so hard to keep track of all the details in Blake Lively

00:00:28.320 and Justin Baldoni's legal filings.

00:00:31.620 So many things have happened in the last 10 months

00:00:34.080 and new things keep coming to light and new rulings

00:00:37.660 and one is more complicated than the other.

00:00:40.260 And that's why I'm really trying to make this easy to understand.

00:00:43.940 As I spoke about yesterday,

00:00:45.720 there are so many misleading headlines out right now

00:00:48.620 saying that Justin Baldoni missed his deadline to appeal.

00:00:53.640 As I said yesterday, that is not true.

00:00:57.260 Also, I really want to get more into Jennifer Abel's

00:01:00.600 explosive new filing in this episode.

00:01:03.680 Yes, we're talking about Stephanie Jones' revenge plan 0.99

00:01:07.360 and how it has backfired tremendously.

00:01:11.500 As you know, the fight of the publicist is at the core of this case.

00:01:16.220 Also, there's a cryptic message on Facebook from Colin Hoover

00:01:20.720 and she's trying to explain why she's not speaking up.

00:01:25.260 And Ryan Reynolds blamed sexism on why Blake hasn't received

00:01:30.040 enough credit for all her hard work.

00:01:33.520 There's also a lot of big headlines today about Millie Bobby Brown

00:01:37.420 and how she accused her co-star David Harbour of bullying and harassment.

00:01:44.100 And that happens like a week after his ex-wife, Lily Allen,

00:01:49.240 dropped the whole album accusing him of cheating on her.

00:01:53.440 And lastly, we have to celebrate with Jennifer Aniston,

00:01:57.100 who's finally coming out on Instagram, going public with her boyfriend.

00:02:02.520 Okay, so let's just do some clarifications here first.

00:02:05.680 As I said yesterday, there's a lot of headlines everywhere now

00:02:09.960 of how Baldoni missed the deadline of his appeal.

00:02:14.220 And that is not true.

00:02:16.780 He missed one deadline, which was to amend his complaint

00:02:21.920 after it was dismissed back in June.

00:02:25.140 If he had chosen to amend back in June with a few points

00:02:29.000 that the judge left open for them to amend,

00:02:32.240 he would not have been able to appeal later on.

00:02:35.360 And as you know, on Friday, the judge did a ruling and he said that,

00:02:39.480 okay, we are finalizing this.

00:02:42.020 Justin Baldoni's case against Blake, Ryan and Leslie Sloan

00:02:45.820 is dismissed finally on paper.

00:02:49.840 And then he also said,

00:02:51.600 no one can appeal anything before I have ruled on Blake Lively's attorney's fees.

00:02:58.980 He explained it like this, saying,

00:03:00.640 procedure permit district courts to treat motion for attorney's fees

00:03:04.160 as rule 59.

00:03:06.360 And he said that the time to appeal begins

00:03:09.240 when the district court rules on that motion.

00:03:12.800 The reason for this is because he doesn't want two appeals.

00:03:15.600 He wants to put it all together in one

00:03:18.200 if they choose to appeal the case itself.

00:03:21.280 And if they choose to appeal on the attorney's fees,

00:03:24.660 they don't have to do that separately.

00:03:26.820 He wanted them to be able to do that as one case

00:03:30.700 because he says that they're so related anyways

00:03:33.040 that it would just be confusing if they had to appeal twice.

00:03:38.360 Also, it's very misleading that the media is saying

00:03:41.980 that Justin Baldoni has given up and Blake Lively won.

00:03:46.680 The thing is, the judge never even ruled on his claims.

00:03:52.560 The judge only said that you cannot file this lawsuit

00:03:56.520 because everything that Blake Lively said about you is privileged.

00:04:00.920 The reason for that is because she filed a lawsuit 1.00

00:04:04.200 and through the lawsuit, she said all these things about him.

00:04:08.480 And then New York Times picked it up and they are saying,

00:04:11.520 oh, we just based all our reporting on that legal documents,

00:04:16.560 which makes our speech privileged.

00:04:19.720 So in theory, the way this works is if, for example,

00:04:23.740 you are very unhappy with your employer

00:04:27.020 and you want him to suffer or you want to punish him,

00:04:31.260 you could just file a lawsuit and claim S-H

00:04:36.780 and then you can tip off the local newspaper about it

00:04:41.120 and they can write about it

00:04:42.640 and then he has no right to sue you for defamation.

00:04:46.320 It's really crazy, but that's exactly what happened here.

00:04:49.780 Another thing that the judge pointed out when he dismissed the case

00:04:53.320 was that he said that Baldoni could not prove

00:04:55.820 that Ryan Reynolds or Leslie Sloan

00:04:57.960 said anything they didn't believe to be true.

00:05:01.760 All the mean things that they said

00:05:04.040 that they planted in the media,

00:05:05.700 they believed to be true, so then it's okay.

00:05:08.580 Anyways, let's get more into the juicy details

00:05:11.100 of Jennifer Abel's amended complaint

00:05:14.080 that she filed just before the weekend.

00:05:17.060 I did talk a little bit about it yesterday,

00:05:20.080 about the Van Zandt sham lawsuit

00:05:22.820 and all the evidence surrounding that,

00:05:25.740 but today I wanted to get more into

00:05:27.400 some of the other juicy details here

00:05:29.620 because there's a lot.

00:05:30.980 One thing that Jennifer Abel is pointing out here

00:05:33.340 is that Stephanie Jones is married

00:05:37.220 to a top agent at William Morris Endeavor,

00:05:42.640 WME, who also represents Blake Lively,

00:05:47.560 and Ryan Reynolds.

00:05:49.540 So the two of them, she calls them a power couple.

00:05:53.200 And of course, now it makes so much sense

00:05:56.020 why Justin Baldoni was fired by his agents

00:06:00.760 as soon as that New York Times article dropped.

00:06:03.680 Yeah, so now we know that all of that

00:06:05.360 was probably planned maybe months ahead.

00:06:08.200 They planned this huge ambush,

00:06:10.940 this huge bomb that they were going to drop

00:06:13.140 in the New York Times,

00:06:13.900 and then they planned all the surroundings.

00:06:16.180 I think that was definitely planned beforehand

00:06:19.760 and also allegedly when Liz Plank,

00:06:22.920 his podcast co-host also dropped him the same day,

00:06:27.120 that was also planned.

00:06:28.700 All of this is stuff that's been going on

00:06:31.460 behind the scenes that we thought,

00:06:33.460 oh, this is just an effect of that New York Times piece.

00:06:37.240 It's not.

00:06:38.380 This was all planned.

00:06:39.560 Jennifer Abel also gets really into details

00:06:42.260 about all the big talents that started dropping

00:06:44.880 Stephanie Jones and how she freaked out about it.

00:06:48.400 Also something interesting where Baldoni and Lively's team

00:06:51.280 both agreed that they would have a truce,

00:06:53.960 that none of them would actually plant negative stories

00:06:56.740 about each other because it would only hurt the movie.

00:06:59.800 And then Stephanie Jones broke that promise 1.00

00:07:03.340 and pissed off everyone.

00:07:05.620 And then she tried to save herself

00:07:08.020 by throwing everyone under the bus.

00:07:10.880 It's so juicy.

00:07:12.200 But before we get into that,

00:07:13.280 a big thank you to the sponsor of this video, Earthbreeze.

00:07:16.580 Okay, when I heard about Earthbreeze,

00:07:18.200 I was like, yes.

00:07:19.820 Why did I not know about this before?

00:07:22.180 This is the best invention I've seen in a very long time.

00:07:25.900 Have you noticed how many products you trust and use

00:07:29.220 that are packed with unnecessary chemicals?

00:07:31.860 When I actually started looking at what I'm using

00:07:34.180 here at home, I found out that my laundry detergent

00:07:38.300 was one of the worst offenders.

00:07:41.240 And that actually means that you walk around

00:07:43.060 with chemicals touching your skin every single day.

00:07:47.040 It makes me itch just thinking about it.

00:07:49.500 These amazing detergent sheets are free from harsh chemicals

00:07:53.260 like optical brighteners, dyes, parabens,

00:07:57.440 phosphates, and preservatives.

00:07:59.020 And one of the best things, no heavy plastic jugs,

00:08:02.000 no mess, and no harsh chemical residue.

00:08:05.200 Just the lightweight pre-measured sheets

00:08:07.480 that dissolve so easily in the wash and gets the job done.

00:08:10.760 And yes, your clothes still comes out fresh,

00:08:13.660 clean, and soft.

00:08:15.060 And this takes up absolutely no room.

00:08:18.400 And the thing that most people don't even realize

00:08:20.500 is that these detergents that are filled with harsh chemicals

00:08:24.300 don't even really clean your clothes.

00:08:27.040 Things like optical brighteners stick to your clothes like glue,

00:08:31.860 tricking your eyes into believing that your laundry

00:08:34.220 looks whiter and brighter.

00:08:36.120 Under a black light, you can actually see them,

00:08:39.240 and it's pretty gross.

00:08:40.800 With EarthBreeze, I feel so much better knowing

00:08:43.640 that I don't fill up my home with unnecessary chemicals.

00:08:47.200 It's simple, eco-friendly packaging, and no jugs.

00:08:51.880 So if you want something powerful that cleans your clothes

00:08:55.760 without any harsh chemicals,

00:08:58.060 then you should try EarthBreeze.

00:09:17.820 Okay, so back to Jennifer Abel's amended complaint here 1.00

00:09:21.240 and all the juicy details.

00:09:23.240 So back in April of 2023,

00:09:25.800 a lot of the big talent started leaving Stephanie Jones.

00:09:28.840 She had a terrible reputation,

00:09:30.460 according to Jennifer Abel, in the industry.

00:09:33.620 She seemed like very unhinged

00:09:35.560 from what I'm reading in these documents.

00:09:37.520 And that's probably one of the reasons

00:09:39.280 why so many big stars chose to leave her.

00:09:42.360 One of them being Dwayne Johnson, The Rock.

00:09:45.300 Another one, Jeff Bezos and his wife,

00:09:48.380 Lainey Wilson, Chris Hemsworth,

00:09:51.240 and Wheels Up, Ocean Spray, and Partake Foods

00:09:54.240 all left Stephanie Jones or Jones Works.

00:09:57.900 And she started to really freak out.

00:10:00.520 One of the things that she did with these people

00:10:02.660 who left her company, according to Jennifer Abel,

00:10:05.280 is to create fake social media accounts

00:10:07.640 and troll former employees and journalists

00:10:11.320 she deemed hostile.

00:10:13.340 And one of them was a journalist from Puck,

00:10:16.160 Matt Bologna.

00:10:17.680 She was apparently obsessed with him.

00:10:19.960 And Jennifer said here that she also witnessed

00:10:22.180 that Stephanie Jones was working with journalists

00:10:24.600 to plant and contribute to negative stories

00:10:27.820 about former Jones Works clients

00:10:29.880 who had fired Jones Works.

00:10:31.640 So if you saw any negative stories about The Rock

00:10:34.780 back in April, May, June, 2023,

00:10:37.980 you probably know where they came from.

00:10:41.280 Also, it says here that on July 10th of 2024,

00:10:44.760 Abel notified Stephanie Jones

00:10:46.500 that she wanted to leave the company

00:10:48.080 and she wanted to start her own business.

00:10:51.240 Stephanie Jones was not happy about that, 0.96

00:10:53.360 but they did agree to a six-week transition period.

00:10:56.760 So her ending date would be April,

00:10:59.500 now August 23 of 2024.

00:11:01.960 When that date came, we know what happened.

00:11:05.240 Stephanie Jones sent a security guard,

00:11:08.180 an attorney, and a forensic data technician

00:11:10.700 to take Jennifer Abel's phone from her.

00:11:13.980 They said this is our company's phone

00:11:17.500 because she was given an iPhone

00:11:19.260 when she started there.

00:11:21.020 She kept her old number that she had from high school,

00:11:24.520 but they said this is physically ours.

00:11:26.940 Give us the password so we can access everything.

00:11:29.280 They didn't say that.

00:11:29.960 They said, give us the password

00:11:31.220 so we can just restart

00:11:32.960 and clean up your phone for you

00:11:34.940 and we'll give it back to your phone number.

00:11:37.380 They never did.

00:11:38.860 Anyways, another thing we see from the filing here

00:11:41.200 is that Stephanie Jones had shown

00:11:43.480 other employees as well

00:11:45.780 the content of Jennifer Abel's phone.

00:11:49.160 Here's a text showing that

00:11:50.960 when Jennifer Abel is sending a text

00:11:53.380 to one of her former co-workers,

00:11:55.660 she says, just know that

00:11:57.280 whatever she is telling you,

00:11:59.500 Stephanie Jones, about me

00:12:01.880 or what I've done, it's not true.

00:12:04.080 I've enjoyed working with you both

00:12:05.620 and wish you nothing but the best.

00:12:07.820 Then this person has a response and says,

00:12:11.200 unfortunately, your company phone says otherwise.

00:12:14.800 So obviously, they've seen the company file.

00:12:17.820 She has shared Jennifer Abel's private communications

00:12:21.920 with a lot of people in the office.

00:12:25.300 Anyways, so the friction really started

00:12:27.660 when Jennifer Abel said to Stephanie Jones,

00:12:30.400 we need to get on top of this,

00:12:32.780 all this drama of It Ends With Us

00:12:35.080 and we are representing Justin Baldoni

00:12:37.300 so we need to hire a crisis management team

00:12:40.000 that can help us with this

00:12:41.220 and she suggested Melissa Nathan.

00:12:44.000 Stephanie Jones doesn't like Melissa Nathan 1.00

00:12:46.080 so she said, no, I don't want to go for her.

00:12:48.760 I don't like her

00:12:49.840 and Jennifer Abel is saying here

00:12:52.400 that she thinks that she felt

00:12:54.180 that Melissa Nathan was more like a competitor to her 1.00

00:12:57.480 so she didn't, that's the reason

00:12:59.260 why she didn't want to hire her.

00:13:00.940 Then the Wayfair Party said,

00:13:02.460 okay, we want to decide ourselves

00:13:04.000 who we want to hire as a crisis management team

00:13:06.680 and they had a meeting with Melissa Nathan

00:13:08.620 and they said, we really like her, we want her.

00:13:11.400 Then Stephanie Jones was furious 1.00

00:13:13.500 with both Wayfair Parties and Baldoni

00:13:16.120 and with Jennifer Abel

00:13:17.760 for going their own way

00:13:19.320 and making their own decisions.

00:13:21.200 And as you know, this was in the middle

00:13:22.720 of all the crisis surrounding It Ends With Us

00:13:27.060 and Baldoni's team and Blake Lively's team

00:13:30.660 had according to Jennifer Abel here

00:13:34.020 agreed to a truce

00:13:36.140 and not plant any negative stories

00:13:39.020 about each other in the media

00:13:41.240 during the promotion of It Ends With Us

00:13:43.820 because they said,

00:13:45.020 the most important thing here is the movie

00:13:47.060 so let's just keep the drama out of the press

00:13:50.420 and deal with that later

00:13:52.120 but right now we don't want any bad attention

00:13:55.540 surrounding this movie.

00:13:57.280 Stephanie Jones didn't care about that 0.96

00:14:00.020 so she contacted a Daily Mail reporter

00:14:03.060 to insert herself into all the drama

00:14:06.280 because at that point

00:14:07.900 the Wayfair Parties had kind of gotten enough of her

00:14:10.540 and they were like,

00:14:11.260 she's not engaged in this anyways

00:14:12.940 because she wasn't really taking care of the account

00:14:15.620 because she didn't believe

00:14:16.720 that the Wayfair Parties or Baldoni

00:14:18.680 was important enough

00:14:20.460 they were just small clients

00:14:21.860 compared to the big fish

00:14:23.400 that she was representing.

00:14:25.600 And then she was like,

00:14:26.340 oh, I need to be feeling a little more important

00:14:28.400 and then she started trying to plant stories

00:14:30.980 and this came out

00:14:32.980 and then Sony freaked out

00:14:35.460 the Wayfair Parties freaked out

00:14:37.500 and Lake Lively's team was like,

00:14:39.920 well, you broke the truce,

00:14:41.700 now it's war.

00:14:43.360 And then Stephanie Jones

00:14:45.480 was trying to get out of it all

00:14:47.200 and then blamed the Wayfair Parties

00:14:49.580 for trying to plant stories

00:14:51.580 while it was actually her who did that.

00:14:55.740 So now she was desperate

00:14:57.160 to leverage her reputation 0.93

00:14:58.840 with Sony

00:15:00.240 and with Blake Lively's team.

00:15:03.640 So then Stephanie Jones

00:15:05.600 emailed Sony's executive

00:15:07.520 who was working on the film

00:15:09.040 to declare that she was in Europe

00:15:11.000 during the entire premiere

00:15:12.940 of It Ends With Us.

00:15:14.420 She had nothing to do 0.94

00:15:15.800 with what was going on

00:15:17.280 and she said that all of this

00:15:19.340 was Baldoni and the Wayfair Parties' fault

00:15:22.540 and that Sony should blame everything on them.

00:15:25.300 Then Wayfair and Baldoni said,

00:15:27.160 we lost all our trust in Stephanie Jones.

00:15:29.900 We don't want anything to do with her anymore.

00:15:32.400 Then Stephanie Jones started to threaten to sue them 0.84

00:15:36.180 and then she wanted revenge on all of them.

00:15:38.720 So according to Jennifer Abel's amended complaint here,

00:15:42.440 already on August 21st,

00:15:45.580 Stephanie Jones had started 0.99

00:15:47.120 to share information from her phone.

00:15:51.360 I think that was the same day she actually got the phone

00:15:54.100 because on August 21st already,

00:15:57.020 Melissa Nathan, the crisis expert,

00:15:59.580 received a phone call

00:16:00.800 from Leslie Sloan,

00:16:03.040 Blake Lively's publicist,

00:16:05.220 telling her,

00:16:06.600 I've seen Jennifer Abel's text messages

00:16:09.080 and you're in big trouble.

00:16:11.300 On August 24th,

00:16:12.700 only three days later,

00:16:14.600 Stephanie Jones tried to contact

00:16:16.940 Blake Lively directly.

00:16:19.580 You can see from the filing here

00:16:21.380 that Jennifer Abel has spoken

00:16:23.980 to either that person

00:16:25.700 or someone close to that person,

00:16:27.520 a witness,

00:16:28.580 who is explaining

00:16:29.780 that there was a phone call

00:16:32.460 directly between Stephanie Jones

00:16:34.940 and Blake Lively.

00:16:36.420 And at that point,

00:16:38.500 she most likely,

00:16:40.740 allegedly told her

00:16:42.780 about all the text messages

00:16:44.580 that she found

00:16:45.720 on Jennifer Abel's phone

00:16:46.840 and how Blake Lively

00:16:48.040 could use it

00:16:49.560 to ruin Justin Baldoni

00:16:51.500 and the Wayfair parties.

00:16:53.040 Here you can see

00:16:54.040 all the redacted parts.

00:16:56.440 It says here,

00:16:57.540 on August 24th,

00:16:59.060 Jones took things a step further

00:17:00.840 and attempted to contact Lively

00:17:02.560 directly through a mutual connection.

00:17:05.460 And then that name

00:17:07.020 of that person

00:17:07.680 is probably on those lines.

00:17:09.960 And then it says,

00:17:10.620 a few days later,

00:17:12.060 Jones again reached out to

00:17:13.900 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

00:17:15.220 and then connected

00:17:16.980 Jones and Lively directly

00:17:18.860 in advance of the call.

00:17:21.260 Something happened there.

00:17:22.780 Revealing from a storm

00:17:24.060 of negative publicity,

00:17:25.620 Lively instructed,

00:17:27.680 a person here,

00:17:29.660 Lively and Joe spoke by phone

00:17:31.560 approximately a week later.

00:17:33.880 some redaction again.

00:17:36.680 A few days later,

00:17:38.100 Lively followed up with

00:17:39.700 some stuff.

00:17:41.560 I really want to see

00:17:42.600 what's underneath

00:17:43.460 this redaction.

00:17:46.080 However,

00:17:46.880 it is now well known

00:17:48.100 that Jones transmitted

00:17:49.100 the content of Abel's iPhone

00:17:51.460 to Lively,

00:17:52.380 who in return

00:17:53.260 disseminated them

00:17:54.340 more widely,

00:17:55.340 including to

00:17:56.120 the New York Times.

00:17:57.020 So a month later

00:17:59.280 on September 27,

00:18:01.260 that Vans and company

00:18:02.560 filed that sham lawsuit

00:18:04.080 who then subpoenaed

00:18:06.560 Jennifer Abel's phone.

00:18:08.120 Basically,

00:18:08.780 they subpoenaed

00:18:09.580 10 Jones does

00:18:10.800 because they were like,

00:18:11.660 oh, we don't know

00:18:12.180 who we're after here.

00:18:13.980 We just know that

00:18:14.700 there's been

00:18:15.060 some toxic workplace,

00:18:16.620 blah, blah, blah.

00:18:17.140 It was all BS,

00:18:18.340 that entire lawsuit.

00:18:19.880 And the fact is

00:18:20.400 at that point,

00:18:21.020 Jennifer Abel

00:18:21.480 didn't even have

00:18:22.100 her phone anymore.

00:18:22.940 So they just gave that

00:18:24.040 to Stephanie Jones

00:18:25.440 and she was like,

00:18:26.040 oh, okay,

00:18:26.480 I'll just give you the phone.

00:18:27.680 So that's how that happened.

00:18:28.980 And as I said before,

00:18:29.920 I spoke a lot about

00:18:30.720 the Van Zandt-Sham lawsuit,

00:18:32.600 so I'm not going to talk

00:18:33.320 more about that here.

00:18:34.980 But now we're just waiting

00:18:36.540 for all the evidence

00:18:37.960 that Jennifer Abel

00:18:39.080 can collect

00:18:39.840 to prove

00:18:41.220 that there were

00:18:42.640 communications

00:18:43.320 between

00:18:44.200 Ryan Reynolds,

00:18:45.160 Blake Lively,

00:18:46.060 Stephanie Jones,

00:18:47.360 and Ryan and Blake's

00:18:48.920 legal team

00:18:50.500 from Manat

00:18:51.380 that they were filing

00:18:52.640 this lawsuit

00:18:53.760 for one purpose only,

00:18:55.060 which was to get hold

00:18:56.160 of that phone.

00:18:57.420 And with that,

00:18:58.720 there could be

00:18:59.760 some criminal charges.

00:19:02.580 If Jennifer Abel wins,

00:19:03.940 Jones works

00:19:04.520 and Jones personally

00:19:06.020 could owe her

00:19:07.040 millions in damages.

00:19:10.140 And also,

00:19:11.400 there could be

00:19:12.680 potentially

00:19:13.440 some criminal exposure.

00:19:15.500 So all of this

00:19:16.820 frames this story

00:19:18.340 so differently

00:19:19.520 than what we've been

00:19:20.580 fed by the press.

00:19:22.160 Right now,

00:19:23.160 when we look at

00:19:24.200 this filing

00:19:25.260 from Abel,

00:19:26.420 it's so obvious

00:19:27.180 that she,

00:19:28.360 both her and Baldoni

00:19:29.540 are the victims here.

00:19:31.320 And the fact that

00:19:32.620 New York Times

00:19:33.160 most likely

00:19:34.180 reviewed

00:19:35.080 these text messages

00:19:36.820 that were obtained

00:19:37.940 illegally.

00:19:38.940 I don't know

00:19:40.180 what consequences

00:19:41.100 that could be

00:19:41.980 for New York Times.

00:19:43.720 But what definitely

00:19:44.580 could happen here

00:19:45.580 is more lawsuits,

00:19:47.620 more civil lawsuits,

00:19:48.740 because now

00:19:50.060 all Wayfair Party

00:19:51.580 and Jamie Heat

00:19:52.360 and Melissa Nathan

00:19:53.440 and even journalists

00:19:55.120 could sue

00:19:55.940 Stephanie Jones.

00:19:57.380 Anyways,

00:19:58.200 Colleen Hoover

00:19:59.020 posted this

00:20:00.000 on her Facebook.

00:20:01.240 Interesting.

00:20:01.980 She was responding

00:20:02.920 to someone

00:20:03.620 who said something

00:20:04.600 that they support her,

00:20:06.120 blah, blah, blah.

00:20:07.040 And then Colleen Hoover

00:20:08.060 said,

00:20:08.740 thank you for this.

00:20:09.720 It has been a rough year

00:20:11.280 and I wish people

00:20:12.240 knew my side.

00:20:13.580 But if speaking up

00:20:14.640 means I have to speak

00:20:15.580 down about someone else,

00:20:17.280 I'll just happily

00:20:18.860 carry on

00:20:19.720 and do my best

00:20:20.640 to remain mentally

00:20:21.900 stable throughout it

00:20:23.220 all while focusing

00:20:24.680 on my career

00:20:25.780 that I truly love.

00:20:28.580 Thank you, Kim,

00:20:29.760 for sending me this.

00:20:30.880 This is so interesting

00:20:31.960 because, of course,

00:20:33.820 she's not saying here

00:20:35.560 where the truth lays.

00:20:37.860 She's not saying

00:20:39.080 that speaking up

00:20:40.320 about Blake

00:20:41.340 would be to speak

00:20:42.880 down about someone else

00:20:44.440 or the other way around

00:20:45.620 with Justin Baldoni.

00:20:46.560 she wants people 1.00

00:20:47.660 to keep guessing

00:20:48.780 where she stands,

00:20:50.560 which, of course,

00:20:51.740 is hurting this case as well.

00:20:53.760 If she would have been 0.57

00:20:54.800 man enough

00:20:55.720 or woman enough 0.98

00:20:56.880 to actually stand up

00:20:59.040 for what's right

00:21:00.220 instead of being like,

00:21:01.440 oh, I have to protect

00:21:02.440 my mental health,

00:21:03.580 that's more important

00:21:04.680 than any of this.

00:21:07.440 And my mental health

00:21:08.400 is more important

00:21:09.220 than all these people

00:21:10.900 being judged

00:21:11.780 every day in the media

00:21:13.260 and that she has contributed

00:21:14.680 to the fact

00:21:15.940 that this narrative

00:21:17.120 has been accepted

00:21:18.200 wildly by the public

00:21:20.120 and the media.

00:21:21.300 I think it's a disgrace.

00:21:23.320 And I wonder

00:21:23.840 what she said

00:21:24.540 in her deposition,

00:21:25.420 if she was actually

00:21:26.440 telling the truth there

00:21:27.660 or if she was just saying

00:21:29.260 the way I recall things

00:21:31.300 and, you know,

00:21:32.840 I believe things

00:21:33.900 to be true.

00:21:35.280 There's so many ways

00:21:36.240 around this.

00:21:37.560 Anyways,

00:21:38.000 as you know,

00:21:38.780 her movie is not doing great,

00:21:40.120 so maybe it's a little bit

00:21:41.400 of karma involved here.

00:21:42.920 Also, there's an interesting

00:21:43.960 article in Marie Claire.

00:21:46.140 This is from 2021,

00:21:47.360 so it's not a news story,

00:21:49.140 but Ryan Reynolds

00:21:50.160 came out

00:21:50.980 and blamed

00:21:52.080 inherent sexism

00:21:53.660 for Blake Lively

00:21:54.700 never being credited

00:21:55.780 for her work

00:21:56.820 in his films.

00:21:58.640 Interesting.

00:21:59.640 He says,

00:22:00.020 there's a lot of

00:22:00.660 A++ writing

00:22:02.060 that I've done

00:22:03.220 that was actually Blake.

00:22:05.500 Ryan has revealed

00:22:06.480 that inherent sexism

00:22:07.800 in the film industry

00:22:08.720 is the reason

00:22:09.520 why his wife,

00:22:10.580 Blake Lively,

00:22:11.360 has never received credit

00:22:12.600 for writing a number

00:22:13.540 of scripts

00:22:14.040 for his most famous films.

00:22:16.500 I find this

00:22:17.540 very, very suspicious.

00:22:19.860 First of all,

00:22:20.900 if it was his films

00:22:22.180 and his wife

00:22:23.140 was writing

00:22:23.960 some of the script

00:22:25.660 for the film,

00:22:27.120 why didn't he,

00:22:28.240 with his power position,

00:22:30.060 tell everyone,

00:22:31.100 like,

00:22:31.220 my wife did this 0.98

00:22:32.240 and I want her

00:22:32.980 to get credit?

00:22:34.060 So he's saying here

00:22:35.140 that he couldn't give,

00:22:36.600 he couldn't stand up

00:22:37.600 for his wife

00:22:38.240 to get the credits.

00:22:39.620 Another thing is that

00:22:40.600 if she's just writing

00:22:42.080 in a movie

00:22:42.560 when she's not hired

00:22:43.700 to write anything,

00:22:45.180 then she's breaking 1.00

00:22:46.440 the rule,

00:22:47.100 just like he did

00:22:48.440 on It Ends With Us.

00:22:50.040 So this whole thing

00:22:52.000 makes no sense to me

00:22:53.560 and especially because,

00:22:54.680 as I said the other day,

00:22:56.340 Ryan Reynolds

00:22:56.880 was called out

00:22:58.060 as one of the big top stars

00:23:00.940 who's never worked

00:23:02.180 with a female director.

00:23:03.520 So he's very guilty

00:23:05.560 of being a sexist himself,

00:23:07.540 if you put it that way.

00:23:08.900 Also,

00:23:09.380 the fact that Blake now

00:23:10.340 is going after

00:23:11.040 so many women 0.93

00:23:12.100 in the industry

00:23:12.780 to try to destroy them

00:23:15.440 because she can't accept

00:23:17.020 the fact that people

00:23:17.780 don't like her.

00:23:18.700 People like Melissa Nathan,

00:23:20.140 Jennifer Abel,

00:23:21.500 me,

00:23:21.980 other content creators,

00:23:23.640 even dragging Taylor Swift

00:23:25.180 into this again

00:23:26.220 and the wives 0.90

00:23:27.420 of the men

00:23:28.620 she's accusing

00:23:29.500 of bad behavior,

00:23:31.620 she's dragging them 0.99

00:23:32.620 into this as well

00:23:33.500 as I spoke about yesterday.

00:23:34.860 It's all so appalling

00:23:36.840 and especially now,

00:23:38.420 how ironic is this

00:23:39.840 that Ryan Reynolds

00:23:41.540 is coming out

00:23:42.440 that's this feminist? 1.00

00:23:43.820 Like, no.

00:23:44.880 Also, a lot of the headlines today

00:23:46.560 are about Millie Bobby Brown

00:23:47.940 accusing David Harbour

00:23:49.580 of bullying and harassment

00:23:50.860 on the set

00:23:51.720 of Stranger Things.

00:23:53.580 This comes one week

00:23:54.860 after Lily Allen,

00:23:56.740 his ex-wife,

00:23:57.840 released that album

00:23:59.060 that was everywhere

00:24:00.020 about how he was cheating on her

00:24:02.140 or how he was breaking

00:24:03.600 the rules of their open marriage

00:24:05.380 and she was really heartbroken.

00:24:06.880 So David Harbour,

00:24:08.280 he's struggling now.

00:24:09.760 I don't know

00:24:10.340 what happened here

00:24:11.220 but apparently

00:24:12.060 they spent over a month

00:24:13.740 investigating this,

00:24:15.960 all these incidents

00:24:17.000 that Millie Bobby Brown

00:24:18.300 was referring to

00:24:19.600 and it says here

00:24:21.200 that his wife

00:24:22.340 at the time,

00:24:23.480 Lily Allen,

00:24:24.340 was very supportive

00:24:25.420 of him during this time.

00:24:27.340 I don't know why

00:24:28.160 this story is coming out now,

00:24:29.620 it's interesting

00:24:30.260 because at the end of this month

00:24:32.000 is the final season,

00:24:34.420 the premiere

00:24:35.000 of Stranger Things

00:24:37.100 which everyone

00:24:37.740 is super excited about,

00:24:39.220 it's going to be

00:24:39.620 the biggest thing ever

00:24:40.820 and this story

00:24:42.540 just broke now

00:24:44.040 which is very damaging

00:24:45.320 for the show,

00:24:46.560 I think.

00:24:47.660 Hmm.

00:24:48.560 Now that we know

00:24:49.560 so much about publicists

00:24:51.380 and how dirty they are

00:24:52.520 and how they work,

00:24:53.580 I wonder why this story

00:24:54.920 was leaked right now

00:24:56.060 because it didn't,

00:24:57.240 because it did happen,

00:24:58.340 it seemed like,

00:24:59.000 over a year ago

00:25:00.060 and because of

00:25:01.000 all her accusations,

00:25:02.280 Millie Bobby Brown

00:25:03.060 had a special person

00:25:04.800 with her

00:25:05.620 that was following

00:25:06.960 her around

00:25:07.880 during the entire shoot

00:25:09.440 of season 5

00:25:10.980 of the show

00:25:11.840 so she was never

00:25:12.780 alone with him.

00:25:14.340 There's no S-H here,

00:25:16.220 she's just claiming

00:25:17.220 that he bullied her

00:25:18.520 and he harassed her

00:25:19.940 and he made her

00:25:21.140 feel terrible.

00:25:22.640 There's a source here

00:25:23.820 in this Daily Mail article

00:25:25.660 that says that

00:25:26.440 Netflix will never comment

00:25:28.120 on an internal investigation

00:25:30.000 but the fact

00:25:30.700 they've not denied

00:25:31.920 it speaks volumes.

00:25:34.280 Stranger Things

00:25:34.860 helped put Netflix

00:25:35.700 on the map.

00:25:36.400 Millions of fans

00:25:37.120 around the world

00:25:37.680 have been anticipating

00:25:38.740 the finale.

00:25:39.960 No one wants anything,

00:25:41.320 anyone,

00:25:42.580 no one wants anything

00:25:43.740 to take attention

00:25:44.760 away from that.

00:25:46.280 So there's a podcast here

00:25:47.640 that refers to

00:25:48.600 an interview

00:25:49.300 that was done

00:25:50.300 with David Harbour

00:25:53.200 a while ago

00:25:54.160 where he said

00:25:54.780 Millie and I

00:25:55.780 have always had

00:25:56.620 sort of a special

00:25:57.440 relationship

00:25:58.080 because I knew her

00:25:59.200 when she was so young.

00:26:00.940 I knew her before

00:26:01.860 any of this big

00:26:03.380 fame hit.

00:26:04.720 I have a real

00:26:05.460 protective feeling

00:26:07.220 for her.

00:26:08.420 I have a real

00:26:09.900 like worry.

00:26:11.280 I worry about her

00:26:12.520 and the fame

00:26:13.200 and all that

00:26:13.860 she has to struggle with

00:26:15.300 and I've just always

00:26:16.540 felt this kind of

00:26:17.980 deep fatherly

00:26:19.140 affection for her.

00:26:21.080 So who knows

00:26:22.080 what happened here.

00:26:23.160 I don't know.

00:26:23.580 Hopefully we'll get

00:26:24.400 to know more soon.

00:26:26.000 I don't want to jump

00:26:26.980 to any conclusions yet

00:26:28.640 because I feel

00:26:29.380 it's so easy to do that

00:26:30.700 before we know

00:26:31.340 the whole truth.

00:26:32.620 So I am giving

00:26:34.280 both of them

00:26:35.220 the benefit of the

00:26:35.960 doubts here.

00:26:36.680 So let's see

00:26:37.360 what happens next

00:26:38.700 if anyone else

00:26:39.560 comes out to talk

00:26:40.440 about this.

00:26:41.360 Anyways,

00:26:41.840 I wanted to end

00:26:42.380 this episode

00:26:42.920 with a little

00:26:43.620 happy note.

00:26:45.440 Jennifer Aniston

00:26:46.460 is posting

00:26:48.020 about her boyfriend

00:26:49.380 on Instagram.

00:26:50.880 She's finally

00:26:51.660 going public

00:26:52.560 with him

00:26:53.160 and she seems

00:26:53.960 very happy.

00:26:54.900 I feel like

00:26:55.340 everyone wants

00:26:56.060 Jennifer Aniston

00:26:56.640 to find love

00:26:57.680 and be happy.

00:26:59.280 So that makes

00:27:00.060 me happy too

00:27:00.900 and congrats
