Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Justin Baldoni and Emily speak out !!

00:00:00.000 Just imagine what Blake and Ryan are feeling right now after watching this video of Justin

00:00:05.640 Baldoni and his wife Emily. Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, I'm Jashti Floor, journalist,

00:00:15.940 Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:21.740 Finally, Justin Baldoni and his wife Emily have spoken. Last night they put up a video

00:00:29.480 on Instagram together sharing some of their thoughts around what has happened to them

00:00:35.960 over the last few years. I have to say I love the way they did this. I love that they actually did

00:00:44.600 this themselves. They didn't go to some outlets and gave them some statements like Blake Lively

00:00:50.460 and her attorneys have been doing this entire time. They came out as authentic as can be,

00:00:57.240 speaking right from the heart sharing exactly how they're feeling right now and as you can hear from

00:01:04.600 this video it's not easy for them to put any of this into words i can only start to imagine the

00:01:11.480 trauma the terror that they have been going through for the last couple of years i also notice how

00:01:18.440 they don't even mention blake lively by name in this four minute video that they posted this is

00:01:26.040 how they are taking the narrative back now they own this story and i love the timing of this

00:01:33.960 blake lively has been in so many headlines since she was snubbed an invitation to taylor swift's

00:01:41.400 wedding and as i also spoke about yesterday and the day before ryan reynolds career is suffering

00:01:48.360 the media has finally picked a side and i can't even begin to imagine what blake and ryan are

00:01:54.300 feeling right now hello hi we have not done this in a while we haven't so we have

00:02:05.000 not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years and it's not because we haven't

00:02:11.560 had anything to say because lord knows we have but it just felt like every time we went

00:02:18.380 to make a video like this where we wanted to speak something was telling us not to it just

00:02:24.980 didn't feel like the right time and we were talking about it and feeling into it and praying

00:02:31.700 about it and and this feels like the moment yes you can hear her justin was saying that they

00:02:37.360 wanted to speak out so many times before but they never found the right time and i'm really glad that

00:02:43.440 they actually waited. But I also have to say, it takes a lot of discipline to stay quiet when you

00:02:49.060 are accused of all these horrific, untrue things and not come out and defend yourself. And as you

00:02:55.760 know, Blake's attorneys have kept smearing Justin Baldoni in the media. But at this point,

00:03:02.220 they can't really do that anymore because this lawsuit is now over. We're only waiting for one

00:03:08.600 more response and that is coming from the Wayfair parties. This Monday is the deadline for them to

00:03:14.280 respond to Blake Lively's ridiculous ask for attorney's fees which as you know is eight million 0.88

00:03:20.900 dollars and everyone is just laughing about it thinking she's insane. My point is that time has

00:03:26.020 run out for her attorneys now. They can't file any more legal papers in this court and that means

00:03:33.660 that they can't really weaponize an attack Justin for saying the things that he's saying in this

00:03:39.040 video. They can of course go out in the media with a statement or whatever but at this point

00:03:44.520 that would just be a personal attack for no legal reason. Anyways let's get back to this video. I

00:03:50.600 love the fact that Emily was the one who mentioned how Blake was using the legal system and disguising

00:03:58.500 this lawsuit to be a fight for women we can genuinely say that we are sitting here today

00:04:04.560 feeling immense gratitude for so many things and so many people and so many things that have

00:04:12.620 happened to us gratitude has saved us it has um and i also feel that it's important as we say that

00:04:20.820 in that gratitude it it doesn't negate the injustice and the pain that we have also felt

00:04:29.520 in the last few years um and we've had to wrestle with so many things and try to understand

00:04:36.800 so many things like how could something like this even happen um let alone disguise as a fight for

00:04:44.480 women yeah i'm so glad that that came from emily if it came from justin of course someone would

00:04:50.160 jump on him for saying that but it's coming from Emily which is so much more powerful and she's

00:04:57.180 also a victim here and so is Jamie Keith, Justin Baldoni's partner's wife Natasha. She was dragged

00:05:05.420 into this with that birthing video. Remember how Blake claimed that she thought she was shown

00:05:10.900 corn? I can't say that word here on YouTube when she was shown this video of Natasha during one of

00:05:18.980 the most beautiful magical moments of her life and most intimate for sure and Blake weaponized it

00:05:25.580 and used it against them saying that Jamie Heath is a creep for showing her that Natasha came out

00:05:33.040 on Mother's Day and actually made a point out of that on how Blake had used that big kudos for

00:05:38.560 Natasha for doing that I hope that Emily and Natasha can come out together and do a podcast

00:05:44.340 or something about this and share their experiences as well and side note here from that list of

00:05:51.580 expenses that Blake filed last week with that was 160 pages or whatever one of the expenses

00:05:59.740 mentioned here is from Ezra Hudson Blake Lively's main attorney saying that review and strategize

00:06:07.680 regarding sanctions motions regarding Jamie Heath's birth video. So she charged $464 to watch

00:06:18.540 and review Natasha Heath giving birth to her child and strategizing how they could use that against 0.99

00:06:27.640 her. And Ezra Hudson went on LinkedIn just last week saying how proud she is for representing

00:06:36.420 someone like Blake Lively and all the things that she and her law firm accomplished in this case

00:06:43.900 amongst them getting Blake Lively attorney's fees covered. And the fact that she did this to

00:06:50.180 another woman and then she's bragging about it on social media it's despicable. Ezra Hudson should

00:06:58.760 really be ashamed of herself. And back to this video you can also hear how worried both Emily

00:07:04.620 and Justin are of saying something still that can be twisted and used against them as you know

00:07:11.900 everything that Justin Baldoni said about fighting for women or justice for women or equality in any

00:07:19.540 in all of his podcasts was weaponized and used against him that's how Blake and her attorneys

00:07:25.820 roll and all that's also why I think that they're being really careful in what they're saying

00:07:30.760 in this video this and this has been on both of our hearts there were so many of you who

00:07:39.560 when we didn't have a voice were our voice you had discernment and you used your intuition and

00:07:46.660 you trusted that and you have given your time to fight for us and thank you does not feel like

00:07:54.140 enough but we're here in large part like because of so many of you and all of our friends and family

00:08:02.360 and we feel so loved and there is so much more to say and we will say that time will come yes

00:08:12.160 i love how they're mentioning gratitude that gratitude has saved us as justin said and i

00:08:18.540 think this whole case shows the power of the public and of course the power of the truth and

00:08:24.120 that the truth will finally come out but that so many people kept rooting for him throughout 18

00:08:31.280 months I think this whole case has gone on for and people never stopped rooting for him and just

00:08:36.980 watching this video with the two of them together is again proof of what kind of people they are

00:08:41.940 this is so authentic this is not a PR spin this has not been run through publicists

00:08:49.080 this has not been rehearsed they're not looking at notes of what to say here they are just saying

00:08:56.260 exactly what they're feeling right now and that is so much more powerful than all this rubbish

00:09:02.760 that Blake Lively and our attorneys have been trying to feed us for all this time when Blake

00:09:08.780 put out this statement on her instagram that got a community note by the way which is still

00:09:14.420 there even then when something was so serious to her she had to add an emoji of a dragon at the end

00:09:22.200 of it can you imagine blake and ryan doing a serious video like this ever there's no way and

00:09:28.980 the fact that they're showing this united front that blake and ryan never managed to show well

00:09:35.880 What they did instead was call the paparazzi and do a piggyback ride through the streets of New York.

00:09:42.740 That was their way of showing a united front. 0.98

00:09:45.940 And then Blake grabbing Ryan's butt. 0.99

00:09:48.180 That is their authentic self. 0.99

00:09:50.020 I think it says it all.

00:09:51.040 This video is also a reminder of how Justin and his wife and the other defendants in this case have been silenced by Blake.

00:09:59.660 And it's so ironic how Bray came out on Seth Meyers and said that she's speaking out for everyone.

00:10:06.360 She's doing it for all women and girls who are being silenced.

00:10:10.780 Well, she's been the one silencing people.

00:10:13.720 She silenced Justin. 0.95

00:10:15.280 She silenced his wife.

00:10:16.940 She silenced all the other defendants.

00:10:18.740 And then she tried to silence 107 journalists and content creators.

00:10:23.620 Let's not forget about that, too.

00:10:25.740 I see so many women around afraid to speak, especially right now, afraid to share their experiences and fear is by design.

00:10:32.800 It's what keeps us silent. But I also acknowledge that many people don't have the opportunity to speak.

00:10:38.240 So I do feel fortunate that I've been able to.

00:10:40.620 And it's the women who have had the ability to use their voice that's kept me strong and, you know,

00:10:46.360 helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls.

00:10:49.980 It's a pretty simple thing.

00:10:51.440 And then after all of that, Justin still agreed to add to that settlement statement that she

00:10:59.880 deserves to be heard. He knew that that was going to be weaponized and used against him. Justin is

00:11:06.020 not naive. He knew that's exactly what she was going to do. And of course, she did that. And

00:11:12.500 her attorneys used that in every single argument and of course said that that was proof that he

00:11:18.700 was guilty and you also have to keep in mind here that this has not just been a couple of years for

00:11:25.020 them it's been a couple of years with this legal feud but before that Blake was terrorizing them

00:11:32.100 and trying to manipulate them and taking over his movie so he already went through one and a half

00:11:38.200 years of terror with her and then they thought okay now things have calmed down the movie was

00:11:45.460 a success. We can move on with our lives. And then she starts a nuclear war. So this is not just a

00:11:51.800 two-year legal battle. This has gone on for three, almost four years. Anyways, as I said, now the

00:11:58.820 media has picked this up everywhere and all the headlines are talking about trauma, injustice,

00:12:04.880 being silenced, painful things, all these things that are now going to come up when people are

00:12:11.320 googling Justin Baldoni. I love how Blake has been trying to manipulate SEO and here we go. Now

00:12:16.800 Justin is owning the narrative. He's the king of this story now and I really love it. Although I

00:12:22.840 have to say I was really shocked by the way the Daily Mail reported on this. The Daily Mail has

00:12:29.100 been on the side of the truth this entire time and today I was really surprised by reading how

00:12:35.620 they actually covered this. Their headline is, Justin Baldoni and wife Emily break two-year

00:12:41.840 silence to slam Blake Lively and accuse her of causing them pain with untruthful claims.

00:12:48.460 There is so much more to say. They are not doing this to slam Blake Lively or accuse her

00:12:56.320 of causing them pain. They are coming out to talk about their experience here, about how they're

00:13:04.040 feeling, if these journalists have followed this case, they know that Justin never meant to hurt

00:13:10.460 Blake. He never said in any text messages that he wanted to harm or hurt Blake. And here they're

00:13:17.460 saying that they're making this video to slam Blake. This is just awful. And then they say

00:13:23.100 Justin broke years of silence on Wednesday to target nemesis Blake Lively and mock their lengthy

00:13:28.780 legal battle over his alleged off-screen abuse. To target Blake and mock their lengthy legal

00:13:35.920 battle? He's not mocking the legal battle. He is explaining how he's feeling. I mean,

00:13:42.680 I have no idea where this is coming from. Target his nemesis like Blake is his nemesis. She's not

00:13:48.820 his nemesis. All he did was try to defend himself. It's like he started a war against her. He never

00:13:55.340 started a war against her he just said here's the evidence you decide where the truth is it also

00:14:01.620 says that his wife published on instagram a video that cast lively supposed fief for women as a grave

00:14:07.820 injustice baldoni has had to endure uh okay the update from the couple comes after lively demands

00:14:15.780 a whopping eight million dollars from baldoni to cover her legal fees while battling his 400

00:14:20.960 million dollars defamation lawsuit the daily mail has reached out to lively representative for

00:14:26.860 comment and has not yet received a response anyways i looked at some of the comments also on this

00:14:32.800 article and there are some people in there still defending blake i'm like how is this possible

00:14:38.960 unless you're paid and you're a very unethical person how is it possible to still support blake

00:14:46.560 Lively and Brian Reynolds. Anyways, People Magazine was much nicer. They said Justin

00:14:51.460 Baldoni and wife Emily break silence on injustice and trauma two years after Blake Lively dispute

00:14:58.360 began. We are healing, Justin says in a video following the legal battle with his It Ends With

00:15:04.180 Us co-star. Yes, I like that headline. TMC says Justin Baldoni on Blake Lively. It ends with

00:15:11.700 injustice. Good one. And it says here Justin is breaking his silence on his drawn out legal war

00:15:17.580 with Blake and it all boiled down to one word for the filmmaker, injustice. And then they also

00:15:23.300 repeat what they said in the video. Here's one from The Independent, an interesting one. It says

00:15:28.600 Justin Baldoni breaks two years silence on Blake Lively's scandal. So many painful things have been

00:15:33.640 spoken into existence. Baldoni and wife Emily said it was right time to speak on Injustin

00:15:39.840 over painful untruths i love how they keep repeating all of these words over and over again

00:15:47.140 yes you know blake hired a guy that used to work for the cia to help her get her reputation back

00:15:52.560 but this is how you do it and i really love how the independence is reminding everyone what

00:15:59.060 actually happened here and how the judge ruled on blake's claims of sh he's they're saying here

00:16:07.100 that the judge wrote there is no question that this conduct might support a hostile work

00:16:12.480 environment claim if it occurred on a factory floor or in the executive suite. Baldoni was

00:16:20.280 acting in the scene. Assuming he was improvising, the conduct was not so far beyond what might

00:16:26.620 reasonably be expected to take place between two characters during a slow dancing scene.

00:16:32.920 The conduct was directed to Lively's character rather than to Lively herself, he said.

00:16:38.900 Creative artists no less than comedy room writers must have some amount of space

00:16:44.040 to experiment with the bounds of an agreed script without fear of being held liable for S.H.

00:16:51.520 And the reason why he mentioned a comedy writing room here is because a writer from the TV show Friends

00:16:58.000 sued some of her co-writers for being inappropriate.

00:17:02.140 in the writing room and for saying things that she felt was inappropriate and she lost that case

00:17:07.780 and the judge in that case said you know this is what you have to expect if you are a comedy writer

00:17:14.160 and you are in a room with other creatives and he said the exact same thing about what happened to

00:17:19.460 Blake Lively on the set of It Ends With Us you have to expect this you're in a movie you're playing

00:17:24.440 a character that's falling in love with someone anyways the independent also pointed out here that

00:17:30.560 However, Lively's lawyer Sigrid McCowley claimed that the majority of Lively's SH claims were dismissed due to technicality,

00:17:40.740 in which Lively was found to be an independent contractor, not an employee.

00:17:45.600 Yeah, Sigrid McCowley too, I feel so sorry for her having to lie on behalf of someone like Blake Lively

00:17:53.580 to protect this wealthy, powerful celebrity

00:17:57.380 when there are so many real victims suffering out there.

00:18:02.600 Sigrid chose to use her voice to protect Blake Lively.

00:18:07.440 Anyways, I found this quite funny.

00:18:09.320 As you know, Deadline has a reporter called Dominic Patton

00:18:12.920 who's been reporting on this case from the beginning.

00:18:16.900 He's been the first one to report on any news coming from Blake Lively's attorneys.

00:18:21.180 he's on speed dial from Ezra Hudson and Michael Gottlieb and today I was expecting him to say

00:18:28.500 something about this video but guess what they had another journalist write this story and it's

00:18:34.620 quite interesting it says Justin Baldoni breaks silence after Blake Lively legal battle there is

00:18:40.020 so much more to say yeah very balanced headline there and then they put this on x it says Justin

00:18:47.660 Baldoni and his wife Emily posted a video to Instagram speaking out for the first time since

00:18:53.320 the it ends with us legal battle with Blake Lively they noted how gratitude has saved them

00:18:59.620 there's so much more to say and that time will come but for now we are going to focus on

00:19:04.440 continuing the healing yeah very different tone there from deadline I wonder if they put Dominic

00:19:11.680 Patton on hold for the future of these stories because people started to see through it I've

00:19:16.520 mentioned it a million times here on my channel how biased he is and other industry outlets have

00:19:22.900 these headlines variety saying justin baloney speaks out on blake lively legal battle there's

00:19:27.940 there have been so many painful things that have been spoken into existence the rap says justin

00:19:35.320 baloney reflects on painful blake lively legal fight after nearly two years of silence we didn't

00:19:42.200 want to add to the noise so we just wanted to let the justice system run its course it ends with us

00:19:48.260 director ads then we have entertainment weekly here justin baldoni and wife emily open up about

00:19:54.880 the injustice and the pain of the past two years amid blake lively legal saga the couple broke

00:20:01.400 their silence on wednesday in a five minute video reflecting on the trauma they endured yes can you

00:20:06.700 imagine the rage of ryan and blake right now when they're reading these headlines ryan has just

00:20:13.580 frantically been posting on his story of sports events hoping that people will support him in that

00:20:19.700 and then also his production company maximum effort posted a bragging photo yesterday with

00:20:26.560 all their emmy nominations and guess what they have to have their comment section closed off

00:20:31.940 And as I said before, as long as Blake and Ryan cannot have their comment sections open, they have lost.

00:20:39.800 Looking at all the comments and all the likes on this post on Justin Baldoni and his wife's Emily's Instagram,

00:20:48.140 just as everything about where the public stands here.

00:20:51.260 And if you haven't yet, go and check it out on their Instagram pages and give it a like, give it a comment, show some support for them.

00:20:58.620 they still need it. As they're saying in this video, we're still healing. It takes a long time

00:21:04.520 to heal from something like this. And as Justin said, healing is not a linear thing. One day is

00:21:10.700 good, the next is bad. And can you imagine every time Blake's attorneys came out with something new

00:21:17.360 and the media picked it up and twisted it around to make it seem like it was Justin who was the

00:21:24.240 bad guy here. They should all be ashamed of themselves and I hope they are. I wonder how

00:21:29.180 Megan Thewey is feeling right now. The journalist who wrote that New York Times article trying to 1.00

00:21:35.880 bury Justin Baldoni. In a legal complaint Lively filed on Friday, private text messages and other

00:21:43.640 documents that we've obtained reveal what really happened. Among other allegations, Lively claimed

00:21:51.980 that Baldoni had engaged in improvised and unwanted kissing

00:21:56.620 and made sexual comments to her

00:22:00.180 and that Mr. Heath had shown her pictures of his wife naked.

00:22:05.260 I guess she's not going to get a Pulitzer Prize for that one.

00:22:09.140 Anyways, that's it from you guys.

00:22:11.100 Thank you so much for watching

00:22:12.860 and thanks again for all your support for me

00:22:15.660 and for my executive producer, Oscar. 0.97

00:22:19.160 You can only see his butt right now. 0.78
