Amber Heard and Taylor Swift meet with Blake Lively. Ryan Reynolds makes rare comments about his and Blake's son while discussing the couple's infamous box office bump with Green Lantern. Also, the evidence in the Swift v. Reynolds lawsuit is finally being unsealed.
00:17:35.500I think TikTok is a bit more like the Wild West when it comes to things like that.
00:17:39.720There are a bit more rules when it comes to YouTube, thankfully.
00:17:44.020Anyways, as I said in the beginning of this episode, there's been a lot of back and forth about Taylor's involvement in all of this.
00:17:50.800And since that timeline was released last week, the timeline that one of Justin Baldoni's publicists sent to Melissa Nathan when they hired her as a crisis manager,
00:18:02.540they explained, in their words, what had happened throughout the whole period of time when they were working with Blake.
00:18:10.900In that timeline, we also learned that Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman were present at another meeting.
00:18:18.480So what we already knew, I saw someone actually put this quite good on Reddit,
00:18:24.460is that in 2023, in April, there was a meeting between Blake and Justin about the rooftop scene.
00:18:33.800Remember that scene that Ryan Reynolds admitted that he had written and Blake tried to convince Justin that her version or Ryan's version was much better than his version.
00:18:43.760When they had that meeting, Taylor Swift just stopped by unannounced and she didn't know there was a meeting.
00:18:53.420Right after this, according to Justin's filings, Blake sent that infamous text message to Justin to say that,
00:19:01.260you know, I'm Khaleesi and I have my dragons, blah, blah, blah.
00:19:04.900Then later in April, there was another meeting at the penthouse of Blake and Ryan again.
00:19:12.040And in this meeting, Ryan confronted Justin about the fat shaming.
00:19:18.760Because at that point, he had received a phone call or information from Blake's personal trainer that Justin was wondering how much she weighed because he was going to lift her in that scene.
00:19:29.040At this meeting, Hugh Jackman and Taylor Swift were present.
00:19:33.620He is pointing at this in his original lawsuit, but he didn't actually say he was there.
00:19:38.940He said Reynolds and Lively's inappropriate and humiliating berating of Baldoni delivered perhaps intentionally as other celebrity friends were coming in and out of their penthouse was prompted by Baldoni's reasonable inquiry into crucial information needed to ensure safety and avoid injury in a scene.
00:20:03.560And it explains that he had a big back issue and he was wondering her weight because he was going to lift her.
00:20:08.960So here they're saying that other celebrity friends were coming in and out of their penthouse when this was happening.
00:20:15.380So we don't know the exact situation here, but we do now know that Taylor and Hugh Jackman were present at this meeting as well.
00:20:25.940So in April only, Taylor was present at two meetings.
00:20:32.420Then there was another meeting in January of 2024.
00:20:37.300And that's the meeting I was confused about as well, I have to admit.
00:20:40.780That's the meeting where Ryan was yelling at Justin for five to six hours.
00:20:48.560In that meeting, there were Sony representatives and producers and Jamie Heath was there.
00:20:55.200So in that meeting, Taylor Swift was not present.
00:20:58.800Funny enough, which doesn't make sense to me at all, is that in January of 2024, everything according to Blake was resolved because she said after she returned to set and actually signed those 17 points, she was happy.
00:21:17.680Nothing came, nothing happened after that.
00:21:19.620The only person who's come out and said things happened after that is, of course, Justin Baldoni, because she tried to hijack his movie from him.
00:21:27.820But apart from that, Blake hasn't said that there were any incidents after that was signed.
00:21:34.280So it's funny how Ryan saw it necessary to scream or yell at Justin for five to six hours in January of 2024.
00:21:43.400If you know the reason, please let me know in the comments section.
00:21:47.080I haven't read anything about what he was actually yelling about.
00:21:50.360I thought he was also yelling about the fat shaming at that meeting.
00:21:53.500But now we know there were three meetings, two of them with Taylor Swift.
00:21:58.200Taylor has so far only admitted that she arrived at that rooftop meeting.
00:22:03.920She never spoke about or never commented on arriving at the other meeting about the fat shaming.
00:22:21.800According to Blake, though, Taylor was with her throughout this entire process.
00:22:25.560And also Isabella Ferrer said that Taylor had a part in her actually getting the part of young Lily.
00:22:34.820So she said that she also had a part in her auditioning and the decision to make her young Lily.
00:22:41.400Taylor never commented on any of that.
00:22:43.400And we also know in June of this year, 18th of June, the court ordered Blake to hand over all her communication with Taylor Swift.
00:22:52.620I really hope that we're going to get to see some of that this week.
00:22:57.820Also, we remember clearly when Brian Friedman delivered a sworn statement to the court saying he had spoken to someone very close to Taylor
00:23:07.380who had told him that Blake tried to blackmail Taylor and that she threatened to release 10 years worth of text messages and communication with Taylor if she didn't support her publicly.
00:23:19.840I'm guessing we're soon going to find out how involved actually Taylor was and at what exact moment that their friendship fell apart.
00:23:30.000As I said before, this is the big week where things are going to get unsealed and we're going to get some really interesting new evidence out there.
00:23:37.400And also there is a recording that I'm super excited about.
00:23:40.760Before I go, I thought this news was quite funny that I wanted to mention it.
00:23:45.600So now Martha Stewart is taking over after Sidney Sweeney for American Eagle jeans.
00:23:55.080And of course, she's not posing in any way that Sidney Sweeney did.
00:24:00.280And her message is not either that she has good jeans because she's blonde and have blue eyes.
00:24:06.080I love that they're using older models here, but I also wonder if Sidney was asked again to do this and then if she declined or if they just wanted to go a completely different direction.
00:24:17.500I heard that they sold a lot of jeans with that Sidney Sweeney, but who knows?
00:24:22.300I'm curious to find out how much they're going to sell using Martha Stewart as their spokesperson.
00:24:28.540As we all know, Martha Stewart's been in prison, so we know that she's not free of controversy.
00:24:33.540But someone says here, it's quite interesting, it says that since Stewart is another blue-eyed blonde, the choice might also allow American Eagle to avoid appearing like they're carving to residual pressure while still embracing a different form of diversity, namely age.
00:24:52.420And it says that Sidney Sweeney reached their demographic with Martha Stewart there reminding an older generation that American Eagle is there for you too.
00:25:01.020Though she's older, she represents this be-yourself, unapologetic icon.
