00:00:00.000 So we have another big loss for Blake Lively.
00:00:03.180 The judge just ruled.
00:00:09.300 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.
00:00:11.100 I'm Sjastik Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller
00:00:13.700 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:17.860 Okay, so we have another big loss for Blake Lively.
00:00:21.180 The judge just ruled that he doesn't want to see any more evidence
00:00:26.520 or he doesn't want to hear more arguments from Blake Lively on how she should recover
00:00:33.000 these attorneys' fees from Justin Baldoni and the wafer parties.
00:00:37.160 It's pretty obvious where he stands at this point.
00:00:40.820 Also, I have some inside information here about the Justin Baldoni cut of It Ends With Us.
00:00:47.200 My source here is sharing what really happened and what's happening to Blake and Ryan's marriage.
00:00:53.260 It seems like they're spending more and more time apart.
00:00:56.700 Right now, if I were Blake in her position with all the backlash she is receiving from
00:01:01.960 the media every single day, now everyone talking about her being the big loser here, why did
00:01:07.740 her husband leave her and their four children while he's having the time of his life in
00:01:13.620 Bermuda?
00:01:14.440 Also, for some reason, Blake's ex-CIA hire is now out of hiding and he came out with
00:01:20.740 this ridiculous statement to Puck, the same online magazine that also interviewed Michael Gottlieb,
00:01:29.100 as you know, last week, which I had a lot of fun going through. They also have a priceless comment
00:01:34.020 from Blake Lively, CIA agent. And I had a little fun this morning making a new t-shirt that I added
00:01:40.600 to my Etsy shop. It says, I liked a top comment, member of the underground untraceable smear
00:01:47.240 machine. So if you watched my episode with Magnus on Sunday, you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:52.460 I'll leave a link in the description if you're interested in that t-shirt. Okay, so let's get
00:01:56.580 into it. As you know, Blake is now asking for the Wayfair parties to pay her attorney's fees
00:02:01.780 for what it cost her when she had to fight their countersuit against her. She's saying that because
00:02:09.100 that case was dismissed by the judge and because she wants to use Me Too laws from California,
00:02:14.760 they have to pay her attorney's fees and on top of that they also have to pay triple damages and
00:02:20.880 punitive damages so she can get away with a lot of money. Anyways as I reported on that for the
00:02:25.860 last couple of days her team has asked the judge if they could add more evidence into this because
00:02:31.560 now they want to use the statement that she deserves to be heard and also the fact that the
00:02:36.580 Wayfair Party said that we should just assume that Blake Lively felt as aged on that set and spoke up
00:02:43.540 about it just in sake for this trial so it's going to go a bit faster we don't need to get into the
00:02:48.360 nitty-gritty details of Justin Baldoni saying that her once he was sexy and that is what the judge
00:02:54.300 has now responded to he just stamped the letter said we don't need to hear anything more from you
00:02:58.580 at this point shut up he didn't say shut up but I think that is what he was thinking so now this
00:03:04.040 is so funny to me because what Blake Lively is achieving by asking for these attorney's fees
00:03:10.080 is basically that she is putting herself in a position, a very vulnerable position in the public,
00:03:16.440 because now we have more headlines today with Blake Lively losing again.
00:03:22.540 Last week, it was all about how she lost the settlement.
00:03:25.600 And now today, of course, this was the headline.
00:03:28.660 So TMZ reported judge to Blake Lively.
00:03:31.920 I don't need to read any more filings in Baldoni case.
00:03:35.120 They're saying the federal judge presiding over Blake and the battle with Justin.
00:03:40.080 seems to be on the same page as the public, tired of the back and forth,
00:03:44.080 and told the actress that for now, he didn't need to read any additional briefs from the parties
00:03:48.200 before making a final decision on any fees or damages she may be entitled to in her final battle against Boldoni.
00:03:57.220 It's so funny to me because, as you know, her attorneys has been on this victory lap
00:04:01.980 saying that this is what it's always been about,
00:04:04.500 that they have to pay the attorney's fees for the lawsuit they filed
00:04:09.040 after they filed the lawsuit, which they didn't know that they were going to do.
00:04:12.960 But that's what it's been all about.
00:04:15.020 So that's why Blake Lively is a winner.
00:04:17.900 Yes, very logical.
00:04:19.840 So now, of course, this is embarrassing for her and her team.
00:04:22.980 And what happens if the judge dismisses all of this and says,
00:04:28.040 you know, I don't want to test out this California Me Too law here in New York,
00:04:32.740 so I'm not going to give you any attorney's fees.
00:04:35.220 What will that look like for Blake?
00:04:36.940 Another loss.
00:04:37.960 How are they going to spin that as a win?
00:04:39.860 That's my big question.
00:04:41.180 I think what most attorneys agree on when they see this
00:04:44.760 is that the judge might allow her to get some of the fees back,
00:04:49.280 but he's never going to allow any triple damages
00:04:52.520 or punity damages or anything like that.
00:04:56.020 But I do hope at one point that he's asking her
00:04:59.240 to show evidence of these damages
00:05:02.160 that the Wayfair Party actually defending themselves against her by filing this countersuit,
00:05:08.480 how that harmed her, because then she has to prove that that is what actually harmed her and not
00:05:14.420 the public opinion about her at that time. And we also get to see how much this law firm charged
00:05:20.940 Blake Lively to speak for her. So her team is basically claiming that this is a win because
00:05:26.800 now Blake Lively will be the martyr here. She would have the honor to test this new law
00:05:33.760 on behalf of all other survivors and victims. And by doing that, she can protect all of them
00:05:40.160 in the future. So the judge could basically rule on this very soon. He could take a couple of weeks.
00:05:45.720 It could also take maybe a couple of months, depending on how his ruling will be. If he just
00:05:51.160 says okay give her a hundred thousand dollars whatever I think it's reasonable that it would
00:05:55.680 cost to actually just write a motion to dismiss I think they only wrote one motion to get his
00:06:02.100 lawsuit tossed out and that's it and that could cost around a hundred thousand dollars maybe
00:06:07.820 so I think that's what we're looking at and it's so funny because as you know Blake is saying that
00:06:12.880 this is not about the money and that's all they're asking for it's just really hard for us to
00:06:18.000 understand her mindset here. And other media outlets also picked this up. Page six is saying
00:06:23.920 Blake Lively suffers blow as exhausted judge denies latest request in persistent Justin
00:06:29.800 Baldoni legal war. And they're saying Blake Lively was told to relax in her ongoing efforts to
00:06:35.760 recover attorney's fees and damages connected with Justin Baldoni's dismissed lawsuit against her.
00:06:41.020 So yeah, not a great look for Blake Lively. Also here there are some paparazzi pictures. The Daily
00:06:47.260 He mailed this story on Blake, taking some photos of her when she's at some kind of event, I think.
00:06:53.840 It says Blake shows the strain days after Baldoni lawsuit settlement as she attends event without Ryan Reynolds.
00:07:01.320 They're also pointing out here that Ryan Reynolds is never around.
00:07:06.060 He's been traveling so much lately.
00:07:08.060 As you know, last week during this whole big mess, he was in L.A. promoting his documentary for Wreck Sam and the documentary for John Candy as well, although that's a long time ago.
00:07:20.020 But anyways, he's doing everything in his power to stay away from his wife and this drama.
00:07:26.380 It says here that Blake failed to raise a smile as she attended a Custerian event over the weekend, just days after settling her bitter court battle with Justin Boldoni.
00:07:35.740 The actress looked gloom as she stepped out in North Salem, New York, on Saturday.
00:07:41.940 In contrast with Lively's tense demeanor, Reynolds looked happy and relaxed
00:07:46.660 as he sailed with his Bonds Flying Rue Sail GP team,
00:07:51.880 800 miles away from his wife and their four young children.
00:07:56.600 Yes, where is he?
00:07:58.660 If I were Blake at this time, this is when she really needs her supportive husband with her.
00:08:04.100 she is going through hell right now every media outlet is writing about what a big loser she is
00:08:10.800 and her husband just went to Bermuda to support the sailing team that he bought why isn't she
00:08:17.100 with him and they're again reminding people that there were no money exchange here Blake did not
00:08:22.120 receive any money from Justin Baldoni also as I mentioned yesterday remember Blake had
00:08:27.420 issues even finding any designers who wanted to dress her for the meth gala okay so I see a lot
00:08:34.840 of people commenting on my videos that they want to see Justin Baldoni's cut and we need to find a
00:08:40.840 way to be able to see that and here is your answer but before we get into that I wanted to thank the
00:08:46.440 sponsor of this video Raycon I've been using these pretty much every day since I got them
00:08:53.040 Every morning when I walk Oscar, I always listen to podcasts and the news or I make phone calls.
00:09:00.000 And these have just been a game changer for me.
00:09:03.140 If you like staying active, whether it's going to the park, working out, and if you're a runner, of course,
00:09:08.820 these will stay on no matter what, even if you are upside down.
00:09:12.420 And because they're sitting outside your ear and not digging into it,
00:09:17.080 you can hear everything that's going on around you.
00:09:19.820 But that doesn't mean that the sound isn't just amazing.
00:09:24.100 These headphones from Raycon are called bone conduction headphones.
00:09:28.260 The technology is really fascinating because it doesn't look like you're going to hear anything when you put them on.
00:09:33.960 But it actually transfers the sound through your ear.
00:09:38.760 And best of all, they're so lightweight.
00:09:40.720 You forget you're wearing them.
00:09:42.160 And as I said, you can do whatever you want with your head and they're going to stay put.
00:09:46.400 I've been seeing a lot of people actually wearing these around LA right now and they're really built
00:09:51.780 for everyday use because the battery life is 13 hours and big bonus they're waterproof and dust
00:09:59.460 proof and they ensure maximum comfort when you move. The quality of these rivals the big brands
00:10:05.160 and they cost half as much and they come with a 30-day happiness guarantee and right now they're
00:10:12.500 15% off for you. The bone conduction headphones are the perfect addition to your routine. Go to
00:10:20.500 buyraycon.com slash 60bc to get 15% off. That's buyraycon.com slash 60bc to get 15% off. Thanks
00:10:33.960 again to Raycon for sponsoring this video. Okay so let's get into it. As I said a lot of people
00:10:39.740 have been asking me like hey how can we find the Justin Baldoni's cut of the movie and here is the
00:10:46.760 answer this is from my insider again who is close to the parties in this case and they say here is
00:10:54.700 an interesting point that will come out eventually now he's coming out Brian worked very hard to try
00:11:01.560 to imply that the cut of the movie that was released and made so much money somehow owed
00:11:06.680 its success to his re-editing. As there is some other completely different edit by Justin out
00:11:14.140 there that was replaced. And online people have wondered what Justin's real edit looked like
00:11:20.240 and how different it was. But that's all nonsense. Editors have revealed that the cut that was
00:11:27.940 released mostly reverted back to Justin's cut. And we've seen the private messages to and from
00:11:34.460 Sony confirming this. Justin himself was relieved seeing the final version and realized that except
00:11:41.100 for the montage towards the end with the Taylor Swift song playing, the movie is almost entirely
00:11:47.660 his own version with a few shots here and there that are different. So the question is not where
00:11:55.660 is Justin Baldoni's cut? The real question is where is Ryan Reynolds' cut and how bad was it?
00:12:03.560 The person continues, because even people who worked on editing the film have said it was awkward, nonsensical, and clearly worse than Justin's.
00:12:13.820 It tested lower and was clear, looser to Justin's.
00:12:18.180 Yes, we've talked about those text messages back and forth between Sony and the Wayfair parties and between Sony themselves.
00:12:26.160 And we continue here.
00:12:27.020 Also, this is from people who saw the original feedback from test audiences.
00:12:31.140 apparently Justin's character tested higher with audience than Blake's character and this might be
00:12:37.620 a major factor in Blake and Ryan's obsession with re-editing so there you go there's the answer
00:12:44.720 Blake's character didn't score as high as Justin's character the audience liked Ryle not that they
00:12:54.000 liked his personality but they liked Justin's acting and the character that he had created
00:12:59.960 much more than they liked Lily, the character that Blake Lively had created. And that is why
00:13:07.700 they got so obsessed. They continue, whatever happened, there was an ick factor with the Blake
00:13:14.840 and Ryan edit that lingered and the ick clearly spread to Sony executives, which is why they
00:13:22.200 started calling her a terrorist and wanted the edit to revert to justice. It's like no matter
00:13:28.120 how Blake inserts herself into things, a director's film, the Met Gala, she leaves an icky residue.
00:13:34.880 So true. And they also add here at the end, now it sounds like even people she associates with
00:13:40.400 are getting some of that on them. The reactions to Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman being seen with
00:13:46.040 them clearly shows the ick is rubbing off on people posing with them. Yes, I think we've seen
00:13:51.260 that for a while. And I also believe that's why there are not many people who actually posed with
00:13:56.360 Blake Lively during the Met Gala. By the way remember I spoke about Vital Voices the other day
00:14:02.460 that organization who gave Justin Baldoni an award that they later revoked just the day I think
00:14:10.360 after that New York Times article they revoked the award and went public with it saying we want the
00:14:16.480 award back from Justin Baldoni. Remember that I spoke about them the other day and some of you
00:14:21.280 guys also sent emails to them saying hey what's happening now shouldn't you give the award back
00:14:26.160 to Justin Baldoni so I went into their Instagram and I noticed that Blake Lively is following them
00:14:33.440 I can't see any other celebrities following them they don't have such a big following but I think
00:14:39.360 that is really telling remember the text messages between Blake and Taylor when Blake pointed out
00:14:45.860 to Taylor that he was receiving an award from Vital Voices so that was already on her radar
00:14:52.260 and it really annoyed her and for an organization to step up this quickly just after someone has
00:14:59.540 accused someone of something without having any evidence that it actually happened for them to
00:15:05.140 come out so quickly and react to that I think that is really really suspicious and now that we see
00:15:11.480 Blake Lively is following them on Instagram that just tells me everything I need to know on how
00:15:16.960 she pushed them to ask for this award back. They had this whole machine ready to go as soon as that
00:15:26.640 article dropped in the New York Times. They had already asked WME to come out and fire Justin
00:15:32.540 Baldoni. They had Liz Plank on hold saying that she dropped Justin Baldoni from her podcast the
00:15:39.320 next day and they had Vital Voices on hold to also come out publicly and say they wanted the award
00:15:44.660 back. So this was a part of project taking Justin Baldoni down and I also believe Blake followed
00:15:52.140 them on purpose like this so Justin Baldoni could find out that she was behind it because that will
00:15:59.280 fuel her satisfaction and schadenfreude even more. And by the way big announcement here talking about
00:16:06.280 the Met Gala. So now you can be the lucky owner of a Judith Lieber bag, the same bag as Blake was
00:16:15.300 carrying on the Met Gala. You only have to pay $10,000 to put your children or someone else's
00:16:22.520 painting on this bag. They actually think that they're going to monetize on Blake Lively being
00:16:29.340 a spokesperson for their brand. This is hilarious. They have this on their website that you can
00:16:35.300 actually make this bag and people magazine picked it up and did a story about it like
00:16:40.440 lily's met gala handbag designer is now offering the same custom experience for for anyone but it
00:16:47.160 will cost you ten thousand dollars so again blake is so relatable you guys i mean who doesn't want
00:16:54.000 to spend ten thousand dollars on a bag also interestingly enough judith lieber is pushing
00:16:59.860 this bag on their website but no pictures of Blake just pictures of the bag I find that quite
00:17:07.300 interesting also this article on People Magazine has zero comments so either there were a lot of
00:17:13.720 terrible mean comments that People Magazine removed or people are just like why would we care
00:17:19.980 I think maybe the latter is the explanation okay so let's get into this article by Puck so Puck is
00:17:27.080 also the same magazine or newsletter who did that interview with Michael Gottlieb, which I had so
00:17:33.180 fun going through with Magnus on Sunday. And they did an article today saying that, yes, the Blake
00:17:39.120 Lively Baldoni case does have a winner. And the journalist here is trying to figure out how Blake
00:17:45.560 and her team can claim that they are winners. So they got in touch with her team and they got some
00:17:50.840 interesting quotes from Sigri McCauley and also Nick Shapiro. Remember that CIA guy or this ex-CIA
00:17:59.000 guy that Blake Lively hired pretty early on? And then we just knew that she hired him, but then
00:18:05.040 he's being completely quiet. But he obviously still works for her. So what has he been up to
00:18:10.720 this entire time? So this journalist is basically saying throughout this article, he's not really
00:18:16.440 convinced that what they're saying makes any sense here. But he's quoting Sigrid. And of course,
00:18:22.680 I've spoken about her before. You know, Blake hired her to look like a real serious survivor
00:18:29.460 and victim because Sigrid McCauley worked with Epstein victims. So it really fit into Blake's
00:18:34.880 narrative. And Sigrid says that the goal was really to expose the horrific online retaliation
00:18:40.740 campaign that came as a result of a woman standing up for herself and others in the workplace.
00:18:46.440 So that's been done. That has been accomplished. The journalist here is not sure if he actually
00:18:53.500 trusts that that has been done. I wonder how has that been done? By her suing someone for it? Is
00:18:59.280 that how it's done? I thought when you actually proved something, it doesn't mean that you're
00:19:03.800 actually voluntarily just drops your case. If she really wanted to prove that, she should go to trial.
00:19:10.540 She should have gone to trial. She should have been on that stand to prove her point. Instead,
00:19:14.580 she's saying that she proved it by settling and dropping her remaining three out of 15 claims and
00:19:20.780 then he's explaining here what this 47.1 rule actually means the me too law that is a California
00:19:27.420 law that she's trying to apply in New York and this is where Nick Shapiro comes in and he is
00:19:33.440 adding a political argument here saying that consider the optics he said what if Baldoni the
00:19:40.540 self-styled male feminist became the man who helped strip legal protections from women who
00:19:48.600 report misconduct. How do you think that's going to go over? Well, it's not Justin Baldoni who
00:19:55.280 strips the legal protections for these people. It's Blake Lively. How can you twist something
00:20:01.360 like this? She is the one who sued him. She didn't have to sue him. She could just have come out in
00:20:07.680 an interview and talked about this and said all of these things happened to me and now they're
00:20:13.620 saying if she doesn't get these legal fees covered it proves that Justin Baldoni ruined this law for
00:20:22.360 everyone else for all survivors and all real victims it's all Justin Baldoni's fault yes I
00:20:30.100 wonder how much he's paying these people to say these things like when Nick Shapiro goes to bed
00:20:35.460 at night trying to sleep thinking about what he just put out to this world how is he sleeping at
00:20:41.720 night so it's so interesting to me that these people who are hired by the most powerful richest
00:20:48.860 people are actually pretending that they're protecting the little guy well everything
00:20:55.720 they're doing is making sure that rich and wealthy famous people can get away with anything
00:21:01.900 anyways before i go i wanted to show this photo here because i thought it was so hilarious someone
00:21:06.100 made this and he put it on reddit it is the perjury barbie pga edition with lake lively with
00:21:15.060 so many different hats and it says here includes hats for director head of hr intimacy coordinator
00:21:23.840 chief marketer, editor, composer, sound, special effects, makeup artist, titan writer,
00:21:31.680 co-star stylist, wardrobe loner, AD, producer, bartender, and bootlegger, and more. And then
00:21:39.880 you get three dragons in the same package here, which is the Taylor Snaky Swift dragon, who is
00:21:46.020 drinking a Betty Boos, it looks like. And then you have the Ryan Van Sham City Reynolds dragon
00:21:53.020 drinking gin and then you have the Hugh kiss-ass Jackman dragon who is also drinking Betty Buzz I
00:22:01.320 think and then you have the dailies on fire at the bottom here that you can also get you know
00:22:07.400 Blake Lively asked Sony to destroy evidence to destroy these dailies and then it says fabulous
00:22:14.000 unbothered perjured edition anyways I love when people do this stuff I don't know who did it but
00:22:21.140 it was really funny so thank you for that anyways that's it for me guys i hope you enjoyed this
