Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Juicy NEW evidence just DROPPED !!!

00:00:00.000 These new text messages proves that she was putting her foot down when Blake was trying

00:00:06.460 to step all over her husband. 1.00

00:00:12.940 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.

00:00:14.760 I'm Tashdi Flohr, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town

00:00:18.900 built on delusion.

00:00:21.580 Okay, so I'm trying to keep my head straight here, but it's really challenging because

00:00:26.960 there's so much new information.

00:00:30.260 The last 24 hours have been crazy.

00:00:33.640 There's so much new evidence that's been unsealed that I spoke about earlier this week that

00:00:39.100 we've been waiting for.

00:00:40.900 And also, Blake filed her answer or her response to Justin Baldoni's summary judgment, a motion

00:00:49.520 for summary judgment.

00:00:51.240 She is trying to explain to the judge why her case has to go to trial and not be tossed 0.89

00:00:56.940 out, as Baldoni suggested, and it's getting juicy and she's bringing in new people now

00:01:03.740 that we didn't really know had a bad experience until now.

00:01:07.500 So we're going to go through that as well as another female who has entered the conversation 0.99

00:01:12.880 here, Justin Baldoni's wife, Emily.

00:01:16.560 These new text messages proves that she was putting her foot down when Blake was trying

00:01:23.040 to step all over her husband. 1.00

00:01:24.920 And I love that the internet is praising her right now, in big contrast, actually, to the

00:01:30.480 producer of the movie, Alex Sachs, who we really didn't hear much about earlier.

00:01:35.160 And now she's apparently the new villain here. 1.00

00:01:39.380 Let's get into it.

00:01:40.740 And also some more text messages from Justin Baldoni has been unsealed.

00:01:45.420 One of them explaining how he wants to pray for Blake Lively and how devastated he is.

00:01:52.420 I find it so interesting that we still haven't seen any text messages or email from Blake Lively

00:01:57.260 personally explaining to people how hard this is for her to be a part of this movie when

00:02:03.600 the environment on the set is so toxic.

00:02:06.140 Still nothing.

00:02:07.000 In this summary judgment response, half of it is just redacted.

00:02:12.680 So it's really impossible to get the full picture of what she's trying to explain here

00:02:16.640 because she doesn't want anyone to know.

00:02:19.440 Anyways, there's more interesting text messages here.

00:02:21.760 One from TMZ, who is throwing shade at People magazine and accusing them of lying.

00:02:28.320 And also now we know why Brendan's Glenar jumped ship.

00:02:33.340 Not only was he promised the sequel of It Ends With Us, but Paul Feig just came out.

00:02:40.340 The director, remember the one that directed Blake Lively in A Simple Favor and Another

00:02:45.580 Simple Favor.

00:02:46.860 He just came out and admitted why he hired Brendan's Glenar in his upcoming movie, The Housemaid.

00:02:54.340 So let's get into all the juicy details.

00:02:56.140 I'm going to skip the summary judgment response from Stephanie Jones.

00:02:59.740 I haven't had time to look at it, but I'll say that for tomorrow as well.

00:03:03.040 But let's get through Blake's summary judgment response first.

00:03:06.840 First of all, she didn't actually file this on time.

00:03:10.600 She missed the deadline and she filed this after midnight, which is not a good look to

00:03:16.860 begin with.

00:03:17.600 So here's a little quote from what they're saying.

00:03:20.040 Defendants campaigns to transform Lively, a mother of four with decades of experience in

00:03:26.840 the industry who simply sought a safe and respectful workplace into a bully who took over Baldoni's

00:03:33.860 film is not a defense to harassment, retaliation, defamation or any claim Lively has advanced.

00:03:41.860 I don't agree with that on so many levels.

00:03:45.180 First of all, they have to say that, oh, she's a mother of four like that makes her a better

00:03:49.420 person.

00:03:49.840 It doesn't necessarily make you a better person just because you're a mother of four.

00:03:53.840 But where her entire argument just falls apart is when she's claiming that she was powerless.

00:03:59.580 And then there's all these evidence that she tried to take over the movie.

00:04:02.940 And that doesn't look good for her claims of S-aged and an unsafe work environment, especially 1.00

00:04:08.460 because of that 17 point thing that they asked Baldoni and the Wayfair parties to sign of

00:04:13.960 all the things that they needed to correct on the set before she returned and they signed

00:04:19.420 it and nothing happened after that.

00:04:21.660 That proves that she wasn't powerless.

00:04:24.120 She got everything she wanted and they really failed to defend themselves against that.

00:04:29.500 They're also saying to the judge, hey, judge, we need to use California law here because

00:04:33.040 that fits us better in this case because California rules are stricter.

00:04:37.660 And then they're saying that some emails were sent from California and then they're saying

00:04:43.980 that there was a Zoom call from California and that Jamie Heath said something to Blake

00:04:52.380 Lively when he was in California.

00:04:56.000 So, I mean, this just looks so weak to me.

00:04:59.360 And they also used a quote here from Jamie Heath to try to make him into a villain saying

00:05:06.800 that other actions in California set the tone for harassment.

00:05:11.780 Shortly after Ms. Lively accepted the role of Lily Bloom, Ms. Heath remarked that Ms. Lively

00:05:17.340 would be birthed into the role, a statement that sexualized her and invoked female reproductive 1.00

00:05:23.440 imagery to describe her professional contributions.

00:05:27.660 This objectification made from California, blah, blah, blah.

00:05:31.180 So what they're trying to do here is really set the tone for the judge to convince him that

00:05:36.180 he should apply California law.

00:05:38.240 This is just so weak to me.

00:05:40.500 As you know, the movie was shot in New Jersey.

00:05:43.840 Blake Lively lives in New York.

00:05:45.660 She was on the set in New Jersey just because Jamie Heath and Baldoni has home addresses in

00:05:52.760 California.

00:05:54.280 She can't.

00:05:54.780 I mean, yeah.

00:05:56.380 They also claim that she was an employee because she got paid by them.

00:06:00.240 So she has to be treated as an employee. 1.00

00:06:03.260 And that's why this harassment case should stand.

00:06:07.560 And there's some changes to her story here, because now all of a sudden she's saying that

00:06:13.300 Jamie Heath entered her trailer while she was undressed and gawked at her body. 0.99

00:06:20.500 I hadn't heard that before.

00:06:22.380 We've heard Jamie Heath explain what happened in this situation, that he entered the room

00:06:27.640 and she wasn't properly dressed.

00:06:30.280 So he was told not to look her in the eye.

00:06:33.400 And then she said afterwards that, hey, you looked me in the eye.

00:06:37.180 And then she explained that she didn't think that he was trying to take a cop.

00:06:41.040 But now apparently she said that he gawked at her body.

00:06:46.680 They're also saying that she was undressed.

00:06:49.020 I wonder what they mean by that, because she was obviously wearing something.

00:06:53.360 Otherwise, they would have worded it differently.

00:06:56.240 And I was thinking, I showed the other day this Instagram story that Blake posted herself

00:07:00.860 recently when she was just wearing a tiny towel.

00:07:03.740 So that made me wonder, is that what she was wearing when he entered her trailer?

00:07:07.360 That was so inappropriate, but she's OK wearing a little towel on an Instagram story that she's

00:07:13.700 sharing with the entire world from her private bathroom.

00:07:17.700 That doesn't make much sense.

00:07:19.220 I want to know what she was actually wearing when he entered that trailer.

00:07:22.560 And also, when you're walking into a room to meet a person, it is very normal to look

00:07:27.620 at the person when you greet them.

00:07:30.400 She was expecting him to look down at his feet or just like look at the wall.

00:07:37.120 I mean, there's so much here that doesn't really make any sense.

00:07:40.880 And if she's trying to make this into S age, just saying that she felt he gawked at her body.

00:07:47.920 Come on.

00:07:49.300 Yeah, so they're trying to get to Jamie.

00:07:50.900 He's there for two things.

00:07:52.560 That one episode and also that he showed her a video after his wife had given birth.

00:07:58.900 So those are the two S-H accusations against Jamie Heath.

00:08:03.340 If you watched my episode yesterday, I spoke a little bit about intent here and what the

00:08:07.660 motive for the Wayfair part is to actually create a smear campaign against Blake Lively,

00:08:14.840 that there's no intent there.

00:08:16.460 There's no motive there, except in Blake's eyes.

00:08:19.340 The only motive was to get revenge because she spoke up in these 17 points. 0.88

00:08:26.100 But they have to prove that there is intent here.

00:08:29.700 Retaliation usually happens when a company needs to silence someone to avoid a scandal

00:08:35.940 or things like that.

00:08:37.580 And the accuser is vulnerable.

00:08:40.060 So she is in less power than the person she's accusing of something.

00:08:44.660 While here, Blake, as I said, has power.

00:08:47.720 She had power.

00:08:48.540 And she used her power very willingly.

00:08:52.220 And as I said yesterday, it doesn't make any sense that the Wayfair party would start

00:08:55.260 a smear campaign against Blake Lively when they're about to release their movie.

00:09:01.540 It would only hurt themselves.

00:09:03.160 It will be self-sabotaging.

00:09:05.280 Why would they do that?

00:09:06.760 Blake Lively needs to come up with a really good explanation for that because revenge doesn't

00:09:12.760 hold up.

00:09:13.780 Okay, I'll probably talk more about Blake's response tomorrow.

00:09:16.760 Let's get to some of that unsealed evidence.

00:09:20.240 This is juicy stuff.

00:09:21.820 So now producer Alex Sachs, which I haven't really spoken about before.

00:09:26.260 I didn't think she had a big role.

00:09:27.780 She hasn't really come out and, you know, taken a side.

00:09:30.760 I think she did repost one of Blake's posts about when this happened, the lawsuit.

00:09:38.480 But other than that, we haven't really heard from her.

00:09:41.280 And she wasn't mentioned much in Blake's first complaint in her when she filed the lawsuit.

00:09:47.620 She wasn't a witness or anything like that.

00:09:49.580 And all of a sudden now she had issues with Baldoni and Heath.

00:09:55.120 So to give this a little bit of context, Alex Sachs said in an interview recently that she's

00:10:01.720 the one who basically reached out to Blake.

00:10:04.980 She's the one that attached Blake to the project.

00:10:08.600 She says here that she already done a movie for Sony, who's also the distributor of It Ends With Us.

00:10:13.980 No hard feelings.

00:10:15.280 So with that in mind, casting Blake was one of the first things we did.

00:10:19.900 She was the first person I went out to as a part of the team.

00:10:24.620 I was thrilled and I remember calling Justin, being so excited because aside from the fact

00:10:30.060 that she's a phenomenal actress, I knew how much else she would bring to the project, blah, blah, blah.

00:10:35.020 So keep that in mind.

00:10:36.120 She was involved from the beginning here.

00:10:37.560 Now in Blake's new filing, it says that the misbehavior continued.

00:10:44.040 Baldoni's consistently yelled at Sachs and exhibited rageful yelling or interrupting reactions

00:10:53.440 when Sachs spoke.

00:10:56.120 Sachs recounted one time when Baldoni, upset with Sachs, input on the film, came up behind

00:11:03.600 where she was sitting and yelled and then slammed his hands on the chair next to her and stormed

00:11:12.520 away.

00:11:14.080 Sachs immediately warned Heath and Giannetti, seated behind her, that she would walk off the

00:11:20.580 movie if Baldoni behaved that way again.

00:11:23.280 As the only woman and non-Wayfair producer on the set, Sachs felt sidelined by Baldoni and

00:11:30.040 Heath and she also observed Baldoni being very dismissive of the film's screenwriter, Christy

00:11:37.440 Hall, who he did not seem to respect as a female voice on the team and on a movie like this that

00:11:43.920 felt especially bad.

00:11:45.640 Okay, so first of all, if Baldoni was upset, I mean, I totally get it if he had bad days on this set

00:11:54.220 because he was dealing with Blake Lively every single day, if he slammed his hands on a chair.

00:12:01.020 I mean, also, why is this relevant for Blake Lively's SH complaints and retaliation complaint

00:12:08.600 that some other woman, a producer on the set, said that Baldoni was disagreeing with her?

00:12:15.500 Maybe she had terrible ideas for the movie and he was like, no, we are not doing that.

00:12:19.940 And then she already teamed up with Blake and Justin was like, my God.

00:12:25.880 And also the fact here that she said that Christy Hall, the screenwriter, felt that she wasn't

00:12:31.260 respected as a female voice when we know that Ryan Reynolds rewrote the script that Christy,

00:12:38.600 wrote, without her knowledge.

00:12:41.640 And Blake just dropped that bomb on a red carpet interview and Christy didn't even know about it

00:12:47.660 until the premiere when someone told her.

00:12:50.300 That's sidelining someone and not listening to someone.

00:12:53.680 Anyways, we haven't heard from Christy Hall yet what happened there, so that's going to be

00:12:57.900 interesting.

00:12:58.500 I'm sure we're going to get some snippets from her version of this story soon as well.

00:13:03.320 They're just really desperately trying to create this illusion that a lot of women 1.00

00:13:07.660 did not like Justin Baldoni on the set and had bad experiences with him.

00:13:12.700 And apparently when Jenny Slate was really upset that Justin Baldoni had called her pants

00:13:19.140 sexy, Saks sent text messages to some of the leadership saying that we have real issues

00:13:26.600 and suggested replacing the director and restricting Heath.

00:13:31.540 So she wanted basically Justin Baldoni kicked off his own movie because people felt uncomfortable

00:13:40.020 with him.

00:13:41.380 She also said that Wayfair did not investigate any of this, but there were no official complaints.

00:13:46.760 As you know, Blake never went to HR.

00:13:48.820 She never filed any complaints anywhere.

00:13:50.760 And I found this post on Reddit, which reads, Alex Saks Depot, the two-faced snake producer,

00:13:58.000 was upset that Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath didn't allow her to take charge of the movie.

00:14:03.260 What the F?

00:14:05.200 And here is the snippet saying, because I knew that I was more than capable of running the

00:14:09.780 movie, they just weren't letting me.

00:14:12.520 And so his presence was actually not needed.

00:14:15.060 So if he was making someone so uncomfortable, I didn't see the reason for him to be there.

00:14:21.460 Okay, I see some similarities here with Alex Saks and Blake Lively.

00:14:26.560 So I don't get what they were supposed to investigate here.

00:14:29.480 Investigate that Justin Baldoni said to Jenny Slate, oh, your pants look sexy.

00:14:34.800 What?

00:14:35.740 Anyways, now I feel like we know exactly where Alex Saks stands here.

00:14:40.780 Let's see if she's going to have some interesting projects coming up with Ryan Reynolds in the

00:14:45.120 future.

00:14:46.140 There is an interview also with her that I'll go through more another day where she talks

00:14:51.960 about working with Justin.

00:14:53.780 And she also talks about how involved Colleen Hoover was in the entire process of the screenwriting

00:15:01.380 process and the entire movie and everything, how involved Colleen Hoover was.

00:15:06.120 And as you know, Colleen Hoover denied that recently and said that she felt left out and

00:15:11.120 she didn't get a word in.

00:15:12.740 So there's so many different stories here now.

00:15:15.740 People are contradicting themselves.

00:15:17.700 They're contradicting each other.

00:15:19.280 There's so much lying.

00:15:21.000 So let's see what happens when Alex Saks' entire deposition gets unsealed.

00:15:26.560 What we'll learn from that.

00:15:28.380 I feel like it's so weird that we didn't hear anything from her before now.

00:15:32.220 Where was she?

00:15:32.940 Where was she when Blake filed her initial complaint?

00:15:36.340 We didn't hear about this, as I said until now, that Baldoni stormed away.

00:15:42.260 We have to remember that most movie sets are really stressful and there's so much going

00:15:47.640 on.

00:15:48.280 There's so much money involved.

00:15:50.300 And of course, when you are a director, you need to keep control of the sets.

00:15:55.200 And I would bet a lot of money that there is no movie set in this town or in New York,

00:16:01.680 wherever it's shot, that doesn't have conflict.

00:16:05.800 It's just the way it is.

00:16:07.400 You put a bunch of people together that's supposed to work together and they don't know

00:16:12.340 each other beforehand.

00:16:13.220 And everyone wants to have opinions and everyone wants to take control and ownership and power,

00:16:18.440 as we've now learned.

00:16:20.140 It, of course, it will create friction on any movie sets.

00:16:25.140 And there's a footnote here, too, saying that Sachs was present for this meeting.

00:16:29.860 This is the meeting where Ryan and Blake was complaining and described it in details to

00:16:35.200 Gianetti, expressing admiration for Lively's professionalism and frustration at Baldoni and

00:16:41.420 Heath's failure to take responsibility for their behavior.

00:16:45.720 Anyways, let's get into a woman with integrity here. 1.00

00:16:48.960 Emily Baldoni, Justin Baldoni's wife, has just entered the docket for the first time.

00:16:55.080 She is being quoted here.

00:16:57.460 And I love it.

00:16:58.700 I felt like as a fellow Scandinavian woman, I feel like, you know, there's no BS here.

00:17:03.880 She's from Sweden.

00:17:04.700 She doesn't care about all this nonsense, this Hollywood nonsense. 0.93

00:17:08.700 And she is giving it to them.

00:17:10.700 And I love this because what she did here has had a huge impact on this case.

00:17:17.720 Because if she wouldn't have stepped in, which she did here, things could have looked very

00:17:23.200 differently for Baldoni and the Wayfair parties.

00:17:26.400 So here's a text exchange between Mitch Tuskovitz and Jamie Heath.

00:17:32.580 So this is at a time when Ryan Reynolds had sent them this statement that they said that

00:17:37.320 they had to sign this press release where they would take all responsibility for all the

00:17:42.800 Brad press that Blake Lively received during the promotion, that it was all their fault.

00:17:48.720 I've talked about it so many times.

00:17:50.240 It's insane.

00:17:51.280 I'm not going to read it again.

00:17:52.680 But this is in correlation to that.

00:17:55.720 So Mitch here is saying, any word from the terrorists?

00:17:59.500 I'm assuming he's referring to Blake and Ryan here.

00:18:03.360 And then Jamie said, ready to fight.

00:18:07.840 Talked to Justin.

00:18:09.760 Emily says, F no, we are not writing any letter.

00:18:14.820 She made this bed.

00:18:15.980 Now she can effing living it. 1.00

00:18:18.140 Let's fight.

00:18:19.440 We are done.

00:18:21.040 Mitch is saying, I effing love Emily.

00:18:23.980 And Jamie is saying, yep.

00:18:25.560 Mitch is saying, here we go.

00:18:27.480 And Jamie says, heading to office now.

00:18:29.840 Anyways, so that statement, if they would have signed that statement, which Emily made

00:18:36.340 sure that they didn't do, things would have looked so much worse for them right now because

00:18:41.720 then they would have admitted faults and that would be terrible for them, obviously.

00:18:46.060 And I'm so glad that Emily stepped in and said, F no, we are not signing any statement

00:18:52.540 here.

00:18:53.120 And I'm also so glad that Baldoni listened to his wife, something that he's been accused

00:18:58.840 of throughout this entire lawsuit, that he never listens to women and that his feminism

00:19:02.940 is just like an act.

00:19:04.440 Well, this just proves the opposite.

00:19:06.640 And it also proves that Emily is a badass. 1.00

00:19:09.220 And I love it.

00:19:10.620 Also, there's some evidence here that I mentioned in, which I found interesting.

00:19:15.100 I thought it was Blake who actually filed this yesterday, but I realized it's from Baldoni's

00:19:21.680 team.

00:19:22.120 It's a lot about how the press is covering this.

00:19:24.540 And Melissa Nathan sent a text message to the team with a Hollywood reporter story about

00:19:31.300 me, where I was interviewed about everything that was just after Blake Lylee filed her lawsuit

00:19:37.560 and people came after me, accusing me of being a part of the smear campaign.

00:19:41.480 And I gave a lengthy interview to the Hollywood reporter and Melissa Nathan forwarded that to

00:19:46.040 the team.

00:19:46.700 And then they added this picture of me, a whole page picture of me from that article.

00:19:51.940 And that's the first thing I saw.

00:19:53.580 I was like, why are they just putting a huge picture of me here?

00:19:56.800 But now I get it.

00:19:57.900 And kudos to Magnus for taking the photo.

00:20:00.320 Anyways, enough of that.

00:20:01.320 Let's get to more unsealings here, because there is a text message here from Justin Baldoni.

00:20:06.820 And I think it says a lot about where he stood in this entire process.

00:20:13.420 And this is also so bad for Blake's narrative, because when you hear what he said about her,

00:20:19.560 it makes it impossible to believe that he was behind some vicious smear campaign against

00:20:24.760 her.

00:20:25.500 So he's saying here to his team of supporters, one of them being Rainn Wilson, the actor from

00:20:31.720 The Office, who we've seen before.

00:20:34.100 And he says here, Justin says here, I don't want to talk about it, dwell on it or curse

00:20:40.100 her.

00:20:40.620 In fact, I want to do the opposite.

00:20:43.660 Pray for her soul, for light to fill it.

00:20:47.600 I'm staying as positive as I can.

00:20:50.020 I know I have protection.

00:20:51.460 This is where being a Baha'i matters. 1.00

00:20:54.100 Can I send love, not be a victim or curse her and still somehow show up and direct and

00:21:00.100 act with kindness in my heart?

00:21:02.640 All that's left for three weeks is our intense work together.

00:21:06.380 That is what I could use prayers and strength for.

00:21:09.460 I trust this group immensely.

00:21:12.200 I love you all.

00:21:13.060 And no talking about this to anyone.

00:21:15.480 Just prayers for your boys over here being painted in a way I never thought possible.

00:21:21.260 We will overcome.

00:21:23.480 Then he receives a lot of praise from the group saying we support you.

00:21:27.620 But I feel like when you see texts like this coming directly from Baldoni himself, how are

00:21:32.880 they ever going to convince a jury that he's behind this smear campaign?

00:21:38.020 I don't know what happened behind the scenes.

00:21:40.640 And somehow I think Justin is probably not aware of everything that happened behind the

00:21:44.440 scenes either.

00:21:45.600 I think Melissa Nathan was running kind of her own show a little bit. 1.00

00:21:49.580 But there's no evidence ever that Justin gave any green light to smear Blake Lively in

00:21:57.220 any capacity.

00:21:58.340 Where are the text messages that Blake Lively sent to her support group or to her people

00:22:04.540 or to her friends or to her husband talking about this toxic work environment?

00:22:10.260 We haven't seen any of that yet.

00:22:13.280 Nothing.

00:22:14.480 Why was she not talking about it?

00:22:16.120 Because she wanted to stay private?

00:22:18.180 That doesn't make any sense because she went to the New York Times afterwards and told

00:22:23.040 everything to them.

00:22:24.060 So I really hope for her sake that she has some kind of communication with somebody telling

00:22:30.160 them that she was suffering, but still nothing.

00:22:34.440 And if you look through her latest documents, it's so much redactions there.

00:22:39.160 It's like they don't want us to know what they're actually defending here, why they want this

00:22:44.680 to go to trial, because it's almost impossible to read it.

00:22:47.660 It is black after black after black after black after black.

00:22:50.940 And you just have to try and read between the lines, which doesn't really make any sense. 0.98

00:22:55.960 And I just think the whole thing is so ridiculous. 0.52

00:22:58.540 And that's why the judge actually just came with another ruling saying that he needs to

00:23:04.640 see all of this evidence now unsealed and remove the redactions so he can have a better

00:23:09.540 look at everything.

00:23:10.560 Because some of the evidence that's been refiled is really almost impossible to read.

00:23:15.580 I don't know what they do with these text messages.

00:23:17.820 If they put them through like an old fashioned fax machine 10 times, so it's impossible to

00:23:22.620 read them.

00:23:23.200 But now the judge wants to see more, which means that he's really serious about looking

00:23:27.800 into all of this straight away.

00:23:29.860 Also a fun, interesting text message here that's been revealed from TMZ.

00:23:35.440 So TMZ is talking to Melissa Nathan closely here.

00:23:38.420 And TMZ texted Melissa saying, people's story about Justin Baldoni is false about cast and

00:23:46.340 crew hating him.

00:23:48.260 So they're accusing people of being pro-Blake.

00:23:53.480 Isn't that funny?

00:23:54.460 Especially now we know how TMZ has been reporting on this and changing their headlines, changing

00:24:00.960 the URLs.

00:24:02.680 It's so shady.

00:24:04.520 Anyways, they continue saying that we are told cast and crew find Justin a nice guy.

00:24:10.900 Don't take as harsh of sides behind scenes as it's being reported.

00:24:15.660 At this point, we're told it's being milked for publicity.

00:24:20.120 Justin's over it.

00:24:21.480 It really was creative differences between Blake and Justin, but it wasn't nearly as bad

00:24:26.680 as reported.

00:24:27.360 Blake's huge ego, et cetera, is the reporting, says TMZ.

00:24:34.820 So yeah, so I find that funny.

00:24:37.040 And also there's another text from Melissa Nathan here talking about a piece in New York

00:24:41.980 Post that she says Leslie placed.

00:24:45.520 And it says that Blake Lively was given final edit approval.

00:24:48.880 And Melissa is sending this to Jennifer Abel, saying that Blake Lively was given final edit

00:24:54.360 approval on It Ends With Us to make the movie more feminine, according to sources.

00:24:59.600 The star and the rest of the cast are not speaking to director and co-star Justin Baldoni,

00:25:04.820 and Brandon Sclinar particularly has a problem with him.

00:25:08.660 We are told, although not greenlit, as we predicted, there will now be a battle over the sequel.

00:25:14.180 It starts with Us.

00:25:16.840 As Baldoni owns the rights to the film, but due to the rift with Lively, it's unknown what

00:25:22.500 will happen yet.

00:25:23.880 A source said, there were two edits and the studio went with the more feminine edits. 0.99

00:25:29.740 Blake had the right to do that.

00:25:31.520 She had final edit approval.

00:25:33.960 So that's what Leslie Sloan planted in New York Post.

00:25:37.680 I mean, otherwise, how would they get this kind of information?

00:25:40.100 And she's pointing out that Brandon Sclinar particularly has a problem with him.

00:25:44.920 Where does that come from if it's not coming from Leslie Sloan?

00:25:48.580 Talking about Brandon Sclinar here, this is a story that E! Online posted yesterday, saying

00:25:56.120 Paul Feig reveals how Blake Lively played a part in making The Housemaid.

00:26:02.360 That's his movie coming out in December.

00:26:04.860 And guess who is starring in it?

00:26:08.720 Brandon Sclinar.

00:26:10.760 Paul Feig is Blake Lively's BFF.

00:26:15.040 As you know, he directed her in A Simple Favor and also in another simple favor.

00:26:20.740 And he kept saying that she was wonderful to work with.

00:26:25.040 And people have been asking themselves, why would someone like Brandon Sclinar, who never

00:26:29.620 had an issue with Justin, all of a sudden jump ship?

00:26:33.080 And here is the answer.

00:26:35.880 Blake Lively had just worked with Brandon.

00:26:38.860 Paul exclusively told E! News at a special screening of the film in New York.

00:26:44.520 She just kept going on and on about how great he is.

00:26:49.420 And I met him and I was like, yes, you are great.

00:26:52.100 And I love you.

00:26:53.200 It says here that Paul Feig received a simple favor from a longtime friend.

00:26:58.220 The director revealed that Blake Lively, who worked with him on A Simple Favor and another

00:27:02.740 simple favor, helped him cast one of the main roles in his upcoming film, The Housemates,

00:27:09.020 which stars Sidney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.

00:27:12.200 So yeah, there you have it.

00:27:13.800 This is what happens when you play on Blake Lively's team.

00:27:18.540 She will help you get more work.

00:27:20.820 And that's exactly what happened to Brandon Sclinar here.

00:27:23.460 It's so obvious.

00:27:24.840 And I feel the way that Paul Feig said this is kind of he put his foot in his mouth here,

00:27:29.200 saying that Blake Lively was involved.

00:27:31.400 It's not going to help her.

00:27:33.500 And it's a terrible look for Brandon Sclinar.

00:27:36.440 Anyways, that's it for this episode, you guys.

00:27:39.180 There's so much more to come.

00:27:40.920 I haven't had the time to read through everything because there's so much.

00:27:44.540 But I'm getting help from so many amazing people.

00:27:48.340 And also, as I said, tomorrow is a big day because we're going to listen to that recording.

00:27:53.360 And also, I'm going to go through a lot more stuff.

00:27:56.260 And I'm sure there's much more explosive stuff coming our way.
