Transcript
00:00:15.240
I'm Tashley Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:17.880
and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:26.380
that Blake Lively sent to Justin Baldoni before they started shooting.
00:00:30.220
And today the media has picked it up and it looks really bad for Blake
00:00:34.600
because everyone is emphasizing on the fact that she called him a friend.
00:00:39.680
Also, let's take a look at that fat shaming again
00:00:42.280
and why her personal trainer, Dom Saladino, wanted to stir the pot.
00:00:49.060
I found some very interesting posts on Reddit about her personal trainer
00:00:54.800
and one of the people there said that following his training program
00:01:03.540
Let's also compare some notes and documents here.
00:01:06.280
How Blake Lively said in her lawsuit that there was no lifting scene in the movie
00:01:11.440
so there was no reason for Justin to ask about her weight.
00:01:15.520
Well, we have the script and it says otherwise.
00:01:18.960
And we have some more really revealing text messages
00:01:23.040
between Alex Sacks, one of the producers of the movie,
00:01:45.500
And what's interesting here is all the things that these texts are not saying.
00:01:56.980
regarding this new voice memo that I spoke about yesterday.
00:02:00.740
If you didn't watch that episode, maybe you should do that first
00:02:04.980
Basically, Blake Lively was really sharing with Justin
00:02:13.080
and that she was worried to start shooting a movie
00:02:50.140
Listen to actress' four-minute voice note to Baldoni.
00:02:54.280
So Daily Mail is going a little more sensational here
00:02:56.960
and they're also talking about this trainer Don Saladino
00:03:03.140
because I think what he did here is so suspicious.
00:03:12.940
Blake Lively had worked with Don Saladino for a long time.
00:03:18.180
He was also training Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool
00:03:31.320
and Don even gave him recipes and sent him food.
00:03:36.420
And of course, when you work with a personal trainer,
00:03:42.500
You expect that person not to share information
00:03:48.800
But for some reason, Don Saladino thought this was so important.
00:03:53.360
And in Daily Mail, they're saying that Saladino said in a deposition
00:03:56.860
that he was taken aback when Baldoni asked him about Lively's weight,
00:04:02.000
supposedly because he was worried about not being able to lift her up
00:04:15.880
In his deposition, Saladino said Baldoni's comments
00:04:30.880
because Justin Baldoni asked him in confidence how much Blake weighed.
00:04:35.820
I mean, what good would come from him telling Blake Lively that information?
00:04:41.040
He would only hurt Blake and he would only stir the pot
00:04:45.260
and he would only make the relationship between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively
00:04:51.660
But he decided to do that anyway because it made him feel uncomfortable.
00:04:55.320
He obviously only did this to show loyalty towards Blake and Ryan
00:05:06.700
He used to have all these photos of them on his Instagram.
00:05:09.360
He removed them after he got some backlash from this.
00:05:12.440
But he used to really promote his relationship with them
00:05:18.180
because he was training celebrities like Ryan and Blake.
00:05:34.120
a person who actually took some of Don Saladino's training sessions.
00:05:38.540
And he was a part of this community that Don had created on Facebook
00:05:42.600
and other places where you paid to be a part of a training program.
00:05:46.460
And it seems like this person is not the only one
00:05:54.220
and this person said that he went to one of his fitness retreats
00:06:02.400
And then he said here that the call went terrible.
00:06:04.580
He basically chewed me out and attempted to gaslit me.
00:06:08.240
The actual call was so crazy that it's all a blur to me.
00:06:13.380
but I just would have finished out my package and disappeared.
00:06:19.380
but I knew I was in the right because others had the same issues.
00:06:23.580
I did, but I was the only one who had the balls to say something.
00:06:31.600
refunded me my money and blocked me on Instagram.
00:06:44.060
And I'm pretty sure some people were modifying their pictures to him.
00:06:48.540
So he's mentioning twice here that it felt like being part of a cult.
00:06:54.660
Because that's exactly what Blake Lively and her team
00:07:05.320
Looking at his Instagram, he has like 429,000 followers.
00:07:09.800
And then you look at one picture and it's got 59 likes.
00:07:15.780
I think he's using the same bot company as Blake Lively.
00:07:19.880
Someone sent me some screenshots from her posts recently
00:07:39.640
Mr. Baldoni also continued degrading Ms. Lively
00:07:44.140
by finding back channel ways of criticizing her body and weight.
00:07:52.000
and less than four months after Ms. Lively had given birth to her fourth child,
00:07:56.520
Ms. Lively was humiliated to learn that Mr. Baldoni secretly called her fitness trainer.
00:08:01.620
Without her knowledge or permission and implied that he wanted her to lose weight in two weeks,
00:08:08.640
Mr. Baldoni told the trainer that he had asked because he was concerned about having to pick Ms. Lively up
00:08:14.540
in a scene for the movie, but there was no such scene.
00:08:19.620
First of all, Mr. Baldoni secretly called her fitness trainer without her knowledge or permission.
00:08:30.220
So why would he call Blake Lively for permission to ask his own personal trainer a question about his back issues?
00:08:40.180
And then they added this lie in the end that he had asked because he was concerned about having to pick Ms. Lively up
00:08:54.200
This script, I'll go through that in another episode because there's a lot of comments here
00:08:58.720
from Ange Gianetti over at Sony picking it apart, saying, you know,
00:09:04.660
tone it down, this is too childish, there's so many comments here that this is not a rom-com.
00:09:10.480
And a lot of these comments that she wanted out has Ryan Reynolds written all over them.
00:09:22.680
With unbridled passion, the two become one body against the wall.
00:09:27.320
Their bodies aching for each other as Ryle lifts Lily up, hooking her legs around his waist.
00:09:37.520
He lifts her up, hooking her legs around his waist.
00:09:42.980
Or were you expecting a lifting scene from Dirty Dancing, like he had to hold her over his head?
00:09:50.360
Interestingly enough, Blake Lively removed this scene later.
00:09:55.200
And we could see from a text or from notes from Justin Baldoni that he was really frustrated,
00:10:00.820
of course, again, about her changing the script up.
00:10:04.020
He's saying here that she's moved this scene from the bedroom into the kitchen now,
00:10:09.340
which takes away from the intimacy and how I was planning on shooting it.
00:10:13.960
I wanted her to run into the kitchen from another area to sell the misdirect that it was an accident.
00:10:20.400
They're talking about one situation where there wasn't an accident and Ryle was being aggressive, whatever.
00:10:26.480
She has removed kissing, which is fine in the end.
00:10:31.220
The last thing I want to do is kiss this woman, Justin Baldoni says.
00:10:36.800
But the point is they need to get distracted enough to forget about the oven.
00:10:42.700
It changes it from a timeless moment of two people about to make love to a dialogue that brings us into the realm of time.
00:10:53.440
Another thing to note here is the final shot of the scene is not scripted,
00:10:57.700
but it's supposed to be Ryle carrying her away, which is symbolic for her losing control in the relationship at this moment.
00:11:05.140
I foresee her not wanting to do this, which puts us on an impasse with how I want to shoot the scene.
00:11:16.980
So I am just guessing that she felt uncomfortable with him lifting her in that scene.
00:11:25.020
And then she told her lawyers that he wasn't there or their lawyers were like,
00:11:30.900
I don't know how it happened, but what they're saying in her lawsuit is not true.
00:11:35.680
Here is Baldoni's version of what happened with the personal trainer.
00:11:39.180
He said on April 22, 2023, Baldoni privately reached out to Don, his personal trainer, to ask Lively's weight
00:11:47.080
so that he could train his back muscles in preparation for a lift scene.
00:11:52.840
This was important to avoid injury, not only to Baldoni, who suffered from lifelong back injuries,
00:12:02.740
but also to Lively if the lift could not be completed successfully and safely.
00:12:09.920
Now withstanding Lively's recent attempts to deny the existence of any such scene,
00:12:15.200
it was only nixed at her instance after having been planned and rehearsed.
00:12:20.260
So they're pointing out here that Justin also wanted this information
00:12:23.860
to know that he could lift her safely because he worried about her safety.
00:12:28.800
From Blake's complaint, it seemed like Justin only did this to hurt her.
00:12:36.340
I mean, what would be Justin's end goal here for asking this question
00:12:40.000
if it wasn't for an honest reason about his back injury?
00:12:45.680
And he definitely wouldn't have asked if he knew that Don Saladina was a snitch
00:12:50.160
and he never said anything about her having to lose weight within two weeks.
00:13:00.240
Okay, let's get into this really juicy text exchange between Alex Sacks,
00:13:05.320
one of the producers of the movie, and a Sony rep called Todd Black.
00:13:14.320
But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video, One Skin.
00:13:19.480
If you've been following me for a while, you know I've been talking about One Skin before.
00:13:23.820
I've been using their products for over a year now and I genuinely love the results that I've seen.
00:13:29.040
I have a friend who's a biochemist and I always ask for his advice when it comes to skin hair.
00:13:36.160
And the thing with One Skin is that I noticed it started working instantly.
00:13:40.020
I started seeing a little peeling on my chin and then I could see new, fresh, younger looking skin appear underneath.
00:13:46.920
My favorite is their moisturizer with OS1 Peptide.
00:13:50.800
It makes my skin feel smoother, firmer and just more resilient over time.
00:13:54.800
I also can see a big difference on my neck and on my chest.
00:13:58.360
At the core of One Skin is the patented OS1 Peptide.
00:14:03.120
It's the first ingredient proven to target senescent cells, which are a major root cause of wrinkles, crepiness and loss of elasticity.
00:14:13.420
It's been validated by four clinical studies, plus over 10,000 five-star reviews.
00:14:20.840
Born from over 10 years of longevity research, One Skin OS1 Peptide is proven to target the cells that cause the visible sign of aging.
00:14:31.240
It helps you unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.
00:14:36.020
And now, for a limited time, One Skin is making it even easier to stay consistent with 15% off when you use code FLAA, F-L-A-A, at oneskin.co slash FLAA.
00:14:51.220
After your purchase, they'll ask you where you heard about them, so please tell them I sent you to support my channel.
00:14:59.700
These are messages between the producer of It Ends With Us, Alex Sachs.
00:15:04.380
She's one of those people who played both sides here.
00:15:07.180
She came out and said that Justin was being aggressive on the set when he slapped his hand on a chair, so she's that one.
00:15:13.940
And then we have Todd Black, who's also working for Sony.
00:15:17.800
And it seems like here that Alex Sachs just had a wonderful dinner.
00:15:22.360
And she's saying to Todd Black, I forgot, I told Ange last week, too, Ange Giannetti is another Sony representative, and she's the one who called Blake Lively a terrorist, by the way.
00:15:32.260
So Alex says here that I told Ange last week, Christy Hall, the writer, asked me for dinner a couple of weeks ago after the test we were all at.
00:15:43.280
She also wants to press with Justin, doesn't even want to be on the red carpet with him.
00:15:58.120
She's the writer, and she felt that she wasn't heard enough.
00:16:02.020
And the thing is, Blake Lively was the one who rewrote her script constantly, but still she decided to support her.
00:16:09.880
And she found out at the premiere that Ryan Reynolds had written that scene.
00:16:14.720
She didn't even know that it wasn't in the movie at that point.
00:16:24.260
And Alex says, we'll share all with you both going forward.
00:16:31.800
There's another person on this thread, probably someone else from Sony.
00:16:39.200
A lot of shit talking amongst Blake and Brandon and Isabella when she was included about Justin Baldoni.
00:16:47.100
Todd Black asks, and she says, yes, they all hate him.
00:16:51.460
It was them, me, my two best friends, Vivian Baker, makeup.
00:16:57.380
She's the makeup artist of Blake Lively, the one that testified that there was a culture of hugging on the set when Justin Baldoni said, well, that's weird because she was the one always running up to me and hugging me.
00:17:08.800
Anyway, she was at the dinner and also Blake's hair person, Jennifer, was at this dinner and Ryan's mom.
00:17:22.100
I mean, if that isn't manipulative to put Ryan's mom in there as well with all these other people from It Ends With Us.
00:17:28.960
And she says, Josh called and texted during dinner.
00:17:37.480
She was in great spirits after all these horrible things have happened to her.
00:17:41.880
Well, anyways, this is about two months before the premiere of the movie.
00:17:46.020
So she didn't get the backlash from the promotion yet.
00:17:53.320
Hopefully she will do what he needs her to do to open the film big time, says Todd.
00:18:05.080
And then she says, Brandon is tightly wrapped around her finger.
00:18:14.100
It must be so devastating for Justin to read these text messages.
00:18:18.820
As I said, there is a lot of new texts going back and forth between his team and himself
00:18:24.280
during the whole mess of the promotion of It Ends With Us.
00:18:27.940
And he's saying they're like, hey, Brandon and I had like a bromance going for a year.
00:18:40.460
And it really shows what Blake was doing behind the scenes.
00:18:48.640
And then they're just like talking about this screening and that it is a big success.
00:19:01.980
And so these are obviously previews of the film because it didn't come out until two months after that.
00:19:07.260
So Blake is there showing her version of the movie, obviously.
00:19:11.280
And they're talking about how great this movie is.
00:19:13.640
And her friend, Alex Sack's friends love it so much.
00:19:17.220
And Alex comments here that a friend of hers really love it and think it's 11 out of 10, whatever.
00:19:23.040
And she says there's still stuff we'd want to do on the cut for sure.
00:19:30.120
So this is what Blake Wively has been up to, obviously.
00:19:33.840
And she says here that Blake, Brandon, Isabella, etc.
00:19:36.540
are going to celebrate at their hotel room with Colleen.
00:19:56.240
And then Alex says, check, it ends with us Instagram stories.
00:20:05.240
And she adds, oh, also, in case anyone was debating fixing the heart tattoo,
00:20:09.720
they've been talking about it publicly all weekend.
00:20:16.180
There was a lot of talk about that because it was a heart and there was an opening there
00:20:21.440
But what's interesting here is how Blake Lively is basically grooming Brandon Sklenor.
00:20:32.900
Okay, as I said, there were 122 pages released of text messages between Justin Baldoni and his team.
00:20:39.200
We've seen a lot of these text messages before.
00:20:42.240
But reading through all of them, I did actually read through all of them yesterday.
00:20:46.920
One thing is so clear to me because through all of these texts,
00:20:51.580
there is no evidence that they were ever emphasizing or pushing any stories,
00:20:59.020
any creators, anything that would negatively impact Blake Lively.
00:21:07.200
They do talk about pushing posts, but only posts that put Justin Baldoni in a positive light.
00:21:14.340
So what I find the most interesting here is what's missing.
00:21:17.860
And my theory is if they were really interested in smearing Blake Lively,
00:21:24.860
why is there no evidence, no conversations about my video that made her look like a bully
00:21:32.340
and that got so much traction online and that really harmed her reputation?
00:21:39.480
And if they were after her, if they wanted to smear Blake Lively,
00:21:53.280
So the fact that they didn't do that, which would be the most obvious thing to do,
00:22:00.900
That they have no evidence and there was no smear campaign.
00:22:04.460
All we've seen so far is just evidence of Blake Lively's smear campaign against Justin.
00:22:08.900
I mean, if it was the other way around here that she could have used his evidence against her,
00:22:14.520
it would be so obvious what they were doing because that's exactly what they did to Justin.
00:22:21.600
If you missed my episode where I read the text messages between Leslie Sloan
00:22:25.620
and different journalists at New York Post, at the Daily Mail and Us Weekly,
00:22:32.080
I'll link that below as well because it's so revealing what they were doing
00:22:36.440
and how she terrorized these reporters to create stories that would benefit Blake Lively's narrative.
00:22:44.960
It's her own words asking reporters to take out quotes that would benefit Justin Baldoni from stories
00:22:53.360
And also someone sent me a very interesting observation this morning.
00:22:56.800
Remember that driver that was everywhere yesterday or two days ago
00:23:00.260
when he talked about he was driving Blake and Justin and he listened into their conversation
00:23:05.520
and it was so inappropriate and Justin said so many inappropriate things.
00:23:11.660
why didn't they ask Justin Baldoni about this in his deposition?
00:23:16.160
And I was looking through his deposition and I couldn't find anything about this incident either.
00:23:21.540
And so the question is, why did Blake Lively's attorneys not ask him about his version of this story
00:23:39.680
I will keep going through all this new and unsealed evidence.
00:23:43.600
And again, thank you so much for all your support and all your beautiful messages to me and comments
00:23:51.320
It's so important that the truth finally comes out and you're a part of that.
00:23:58.080
So anyways, subscribe if you haven't and check if you've been unsubscribed.
00:24:02.460
I see a lot of people in the comment section are actually saying that,
00:24:05.160
hey, I was unsubscribed and I didn't notice and it happens for some reason.
00:24:10.340
