00:00:00.000 I don't think it was random that Blake put on those shoes to go outside in New York when they
00:00:05.640 called a paparazzi. Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, I'm Kersti Floor, journalist, Hollywood
00:00:15.120 truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. Talking about delusion,
00:00:23.060 Blake and Ryan were caught by a paparazzi in New York City yesterday. This PR stunt
00:00:29.980 is so cringe and makes no sense whatsoever and what's up with those shoes that Blake is wearing
00:00:38.680 haven't we seen those before oh yes there's so much they're trying to tell us also that Ryan
00:00:46.200 is stronger than Justin because he can carry Blake without a problem and all of this just
00:00:52.940 happened randomly on the streets in New York City and we have to talk about the rumors that
00:00:58.160 Anna Wintour is the person working behind the scenes to help Blake Lively get her reputation
00:01:05.220 back. Also, there is an absurd new video of Ryan Reynolds and his pal Rob Mac putting together some
00:01:13.280 Ikea furniture. And in this interview, Ryan just makes up the weirdest lie about a car accident
00:01:20.100 because you know he is a storyteller. But this time, even his best friend Rob was like,
00:01:24.940 what is going on here? Does Ryan actually have the ability to separate what's real and what's
00:01:32.480 not? At this point, I'm starting to wonder. Remember that text that Justin Baldoni sent
00:01:37.840 to his friend Wayne Wilson? It's almost like they believe what they're saying themselves.
00:01:42.960 All right, I'm guessing I was just as surprised as everyone else when I saw these photos on
00:01:47.540 Instagram yesterday. They were posted by Do More. They had these exclusive photos from some
00:01:53.520 paparazzi they're working for a back grid in the new york and they were posting all these photos
00:01:59.700 of blake and ryan coming from a date yeah they have some photographs of them smiling walking
00:02:04.720 down the street and then they have some photos of them smiling taking photos with fans and then
00:02:12.160 they have a video of them walking past the camera and then they have a couple of photos when blake
00:02:19.300 is writing or piggybacking on her husband and all of this happened well by chance there was a
00:02:26.300 paparazzi photographer there. There is so much evidence here that this is a setup. First of all
00:02:32.560 I have to say if you're a paparazzi you are trained to also ask questions. When you see Blake and Ryan
00:02:38.880 walking down the street in New York you will throw some questions at them saying hey how are you?
00:02:44.840 That is what all real paparazzis do. For some reason this paparazzi was completely quiet and
00:02:51.720 he was just waiting on his spot for this little video where he was watching them from afar walking
00:02:59.640 towards him and then he turned his camera around and filmed them going away from the camera.
00:03:07.000 No one does that. If he was at work as a regular paparazzi he would walk in front of them like
00:03:13.800 that he would follow them he wouldn't just stand there at the same spot and 0.99
00:03:19.080 they would just walk like nothing happened and like I mean it's so dumb 0.99
00:03:24.420 where is their driver why would they want to walk around like this and if you 0.86
00:03:29.220 take a look at Blake's shoes they don't look very comfortable we get back to
00:03:33.900 those shoes in a moment but the fact that the two of them just go for a stroll
00:03:37.800 like that after a date. Also the paparazzi made sure to get a photo of Blake grabbing Ryan's butt 0.93
00:03:46.480 and in one of the photos Ryan is turning around with this like smirk on his face like looking at 0.79
00:03:53.760 the photographer like hey are you getting this? Do you see this? Yes we need this photo of her
00:03:59.600 touching my butt like that and so the photographer did get that shot and also I wonder when this 0.98
00:04:06.220 happened because as you know the photographer or the paparazzi he was just standing there and 0.98
00:04:12.840 following them on with this video thing but all of a sudden he was also in front of them when they
00:04:18.980 all of a sudden decided that Blake should get on Ryan's back because she had uncomfortable shoes on
00:04:25.800 just pretend like this is some romantic comedy and you can carry your wife the funniest comment
00:04:32.220 I could find under that photo was I wonder if he asked how much she weighed and that's also why I
00:04:41.100 believe that they did this stunt of course they don't do anything out of accident and of course
00:04:47.380 this was a dig at Justin from Ryan saying hey you're just a weak man who can't even carry my 0.96
00:04:54.120 wife look at me I can lift her without a problem so shame on you for fat shaming her I wonder how 0.96
00:05:01.240 many steps he made with her on his back by the way it's interesting how every photo also that
00:05:08.560 was published they're smiling they're smiling at every single photo and then these fans stops to
00:05:14.660 take pictures with them and they're like yes of course we're here and they're both smiling and
00:05:19.820 taking the time to talk to these people it seems is like so out of character ryan never stops when
00:05:27.800 he's walking around in the streets taking photos with people they've never done this before it's so
00:05:33.760 ridiculous so let's get to Blake's shoes because as someone mentioned to me thank you Emma for
00:05:40.420 sending me that so those shoes that Blake were wearing on her date yesterday are the same shoes 0.74
00:05:47.880 the same Louis Vuitton shoes that she was wearing in it ends with us in that dancing scene there was
00:05:54.880 even a close-up of these shoes in the dancing scene I don't know if it ended up in the movie
00:06:00.920 but from the b-roll that we've seen that Justin Baldoni released we could see a close-up of these
00:06:07.960 shoes and I think they were like five thousand dollars or whatever super expensive and Blake
00:06:14.140 insisted on wearing them and I remember there was a lot of backlash because of those shoes as well
00:06:18.680 because everyone was like Lily couldn't afford those kind of shoes she's like starting her own 1.00
00:06:23.740 little flower shop, she wouldn't have the budget to go and buy these kind of shoes. So it was so
00:06:29.600 out of character for her to wear those shoes. But anyways, I don't think it was random that Blake
00:06:35.140 put on those shoes to go outside in New York when they called the paparazzi. She is so petty. So I 0.88
00:06:41.560 think just wearing those shoes was basically a F you to Justin. Interestingly enough, if she was
00:06:48.600 a real victim and as she has explained in her lawsuit that dancing scene was so traumatic for
00:06:54.460 her if you're experiencing so much trauma why would you wear the same shoes that you wore
00:06:59.440 in that moment that traumatized you so much that doesn't make much sense to me i don't know i just
00:07:05.600 don't think it's any coincidence that she was wearing those shoes let me know what you think
00:07:09.860 why would blake wear those shoes on this date yeah this is just so embarrassing for them of course
00:07:16.920 the press picked this up as well and tmz did a story saying blake and ryan get handsy during 0.96
00:07:23.620 new york city date night blake and ryan it ends with us grabbing ass okay what a headline by the
00:07:30.580 way um ryan and blake are brushing off their legal drama the same way they seem to handle
00:07:36.820 everything else with jokes smiles and a whole lot of pda the power couple i wouldn't go that far as
00:07:44.880 to call them a power couple. But anyway, stepped out for a date night at the Greenwich Hotel in
00:07:50.060 New York City this week. And if you didn't know better, you'd never guess they had legal fallout
00:07:55.880 hanging over their heads. Blake looked downright carefree as she playfully grabbed a handful of
00:08:02.760 Ryan's backside while the pair strolled through Manhattan. Okay, so they went to the Greenwich
00:08:08.680 Hotel. So maybe they had a date in the hotel, it seems. I don't know. I don't buy it. Anyway,
00:08:14.760 The flirty fan didn't stop there. Reynolds later hoisted his wife onto his back for a piggyback 0.64
00:08:23.460 ride down the sidewalk, drawing grins from onlookers and turning an ordinary walk into
00:08:30.020 something straight out of a rom-com. The two also stopped to take selfies with fans, happily posing
00:08:36.680 for photos before continuing their evening. And they're ending it like, judging by these photos,
00:08:42.660 ryan and blake aren't talking legal matters anymore they spent the night laughing and proving
00:08:48.040 that all that after all the court filings they're still very much on the same page and apparently 0.99
00:08:54.380 still grabbing ass this just tells me that both of these people are sociopath they don't care 0.94
00:09:02.700 about spending 30 million dollars and one and a half years on this legal feud so far and they're 0.99
00:09:11.260 not done yet as you know and every person that they dragged into this not only the people they
00:09:17.460 sued but all the people from sony from wme other publicists random people friends of them other
00:09:26.780 celebrities all these people that they dragged into this mess they don't care because they can
00:09:32.980 just joke about it and have fun strolling in manhattan anyways rob shooter is quoted in the
00:09:40.500 national inquiry saying that anna winter is the person behind the scenes who's helping blake
00:09:48.220 revive her damaged image it says here that anna winter has kicked off a quiet campaign to help
00:09:55.740 blake lively bounce back from the damaging fallout of her ugly feud with the ends with us
00:10:00.980 co-star justin baldoni why would she do that as you know people in hollywood and people in fashion
00:10:07.620 They don't do anything to be nice to people. 0.62
00:10:10.560 So the question is, why would Anna Wintour do something like this? 0.96
00:10:15.820 It could backfire on her tremendously.
00:10:18.620 And I'm sure after she invited Blake to the Met Gala,
00:10:23.120 we know that People Magazine has repeated those facts a million times in their articles lately,
00:10:29.580 that Blake was invited and she was seated next to Anna Wintour inside at the dinner at the Met Gala.
00:10:37.260 So I don't know if that's why this story is spreading or if there's actually any truth to it.
00:10:42.520 But as I mentioned the other day, Salma Hayek, who is friends with Blake and Ryan,
00:10:48.180 they were spotted having dinner together last year. 0.86
00:10:52.640 She and her husband obviously has a lot of power in the fashion industry.
00:10:58.100 He owns a lot of the big designers.
00:11:00.760 And of course, as you know, these big designer brands spends a lot of money on advertisements in Vogue.
00:11:09.040 So yeah, if there's any truth to this, I would say good luck to Anna for doing that.
00:11:13.940 And why would she want to bring Blake back?
00:11:16.740 Is she of any value for the fashion industry or for Hollywood at all?
00:11:21.540 I don't know. I think there's something going on behind the scenes here that we don't really know about.
00:11:27.540 so all we can do is just keep guessing all right and thank you amanda for sending me this so time
00:11:33.880 magazine just released a list of the 100 most influential people in sports and even though
00:11:40.820 ryan reynolds is not one of them he made sure that he is still mentioned i'm wondering if time
00:11:50.040 i'm wondering if he called time magazine and he was like okay i need to be on this list as well
00:11:54.680 And they were like, no, we put you on the top 100 most influential lists of entrepreneurs last year.
00:12:02.560 And we can't have you and your family on every one of these lists, Ryan, because it doesn't look good.
00:12:07.800 And also remember, you got the cover last time, both your face, your front of your face and the back of your head.
00:12:13.920 So why don't we just do a compromise here and we'll put Rob as one of the most influential people.
00:12:20.400 And then we can put a link to you under Rob.
00:12:24.820 And then people can see that your company maximum effort was one of the most influential companies last year.
00:12:31.540 And he's like, OK, we'll do that.
00:12:33.800 And they were like, yeah.
00:12:34.560 And don't forget that we put Blake on our top 100 most influentials as a Titan last year as well.
00:12:42.240 And that took away a lot of credibility for this list, Ryan.
00:12:46.000 So, yeah, this is all we can offer you this time.
00:12:48.340 and Ryan was like okay just make sure there is a link. Anyways let's jump to this article or this
00:12:53.700 interview that GQ magazine did with Ryan and Rob. They're really pushing for this tv series
00:13:00.540 about Wrexham. I've never seen anyone push so much for a documentary series as these two guys are
00:13:07.060 but Ryan just loves loves loves to get attention and if he can't be on camera somewhere one day
00:13:13.040 I think he feels that that is a waste of his life anyways so they went through this Ikea stress
00:13:20.580 test something that JQ makes so you have to put together some Ikea furniture and that's when Ryan
00:13:25.900 told this insane story to his friend Rob who had never heard this story before and was really
00:13:32.520 surprised by Ryan telling this story and the way he's telling it just makes absolutely no sense to
00:13:39.320 me and it just proves again that he just loves to make up stories because he is a storyteller after
00:13:46.320 all but just making up these kind of stories and then have the media pick it up because e-news
00:13:53.060 eats all of this up and they did a big story that ryan reynolds was in a horrible car accident and
00:13:59.580 ended up four weeks in the hospital so this is the way he told the story to gq you know when i was
00:14:06.380 18 I left a bar and I'd had a beer you know and I walked back and I looked at my car for a second
00:14:12.220 I thought you know what I'm not gonna drive anywhere even if it's four blocks home absolutely
00:14:16.380 not and so instead I turned around started to cross the street and I was run over by a drunk driver
00:14:20.720 yeah so first is like I had one beer so I couldn't drive my car I mean everyone knows that you can
00:14:27.260 actually drive a car after one beer and also it makes no sense that Ryan was going to drive
00:14:35.540 four blocks home why did you drive there in the first place if it's only four blocks from your
00:14:41.100 house why would you bring the car when you know you were going to the pub or to the bar to have
00:14:46.240 a drink makes zero sense you get run over by i got run over by a drunk driver he hit me so hard
00:14:53.680 his car was not operational and then he said the car was not operational after that meaning that
00:15:01.240 he paid attention to that and he mentions that it crushed half of his body so you're laying there
00:15:06.720 with with your half of your body crushed but you also notice that the car is not operational
00:15:12.140 makes no sense then he said he spent four weeks in a hospital and we've never heard this story
00:15:19.180 before why is he telling this story now randomly while he's putting together some ikea furniture
00:15:25.280 for an interview in GQ and what I think is so revealing here is Rob's reaction to this
00:15:33.460 yeah he's like oh okay he reacts like a parent reacts when you know your child is telling you
00:15:50.700 story that they're just making up and you're just pretending that you believe them because you want
00:15:55.400 to be supportive and you're like oh okay that really happened and then he's like oh this is
00:16:01.600 the first time i hear this story that's weird yeah nothing from this story makes sense to me
00:16:06.640 also and also the fact that ryan would just make up a story that he was in a car accident and in
00:16:11.760 the hospital for four weeks just like a random story that he's telling someone meaning he's not
00:16:17.180 even lying to GQ here he's also lying to Rob. There might be a tiny bit of truth to the story
00:16:23.600 maybe he was hit by a car but I think he made up everything else in that story because the way he's
00:16:29.040 telling the story with the weird details is just like no I don't believe it. He hit me so hard his
00:16:35.200 car was not operational. Wow yeah. That reminded me of that text message that we saw from Justin
00:16:43.620 Boldoni after this January 4th meeting. So he sent a text message to his really good friend,
00:16:51.920 Wayne Wilson, the day after that meeting. And it described how horrible this meeting was and that
00:16:58.980 everything was just taken out of context. And Ryan wanted him to apologize. This was really
00:17:03.920 the setup for Blake to sue him later for SH. And Justin had a gut feeling that that was what's
00:17:10.740 going to happen. They were going to use this to pressure him. They made him, they forced him to
00:17:15.900 sign a list of all these things that he shouldn't do anymore. A lot of these things never even
00:17:23.000 happened. And most of them were just twisted to make it sound like something really inappropriate
00:17:28.680 happened. And also, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, Blake and Ryan had already sent this list
00:17:34.280 to the Wayfair parties, but then they needed to delay the signature and for a moment for them to
00:17:42.640 acknowledge all of this because the Me Too law in California had not started taking effect yet.
00:17:50.360 The California law 47.1 that Blake is now trying to abuse to get those attorney's fees,
00:17:56.320 that law was not active until january 2024 so that is the reason why they had this meeting just four
00:18:05.120 days later but anyways so a part of this text message when you go further down here it says
00:18:10.900 justin says to rain he says i was embarrassed for myself as it happened in front of the team but i
00:18:16.900 was embarrassed that i was unable to even formulate the correct words to apologize and honestly just
00:18:22.820 feel like a bad person. It's hard to feel so much of what they believe about me is false
00:18:29.060 because they're so convinced that it's real. Yeah, Justin said it as well. They are so convinced
00:18:37.340 all of these things are real. They're living in this parallel universe from the rest of the world
00:18:44.820 making up these stories, because they're storytellers, telling themselves that these
00:18:50.900 things are real that this is the reality and this is real life and it's really scary actually when
00:18:57.440 you think about it and interestingly enough that fact is what Blake's attorneys grabbed onto to
00:19:04.240 prove that Justin knew that Blake filed this lawsuit with no malice so they said hey even
00:19:13.300 Justin admits that they thought it was true. So that's our proof of no malice. Yeah, so of course
00:19:21.420 her attorneys did that. Also, when I was looking for that other text message, I found this text
00:19:26.080 message, which is also a reminder of how intuitive Justin Baldoni actually is. So he's saying here,
00:19:33.160 this is a conversation he had with Melissa Nathan, his crisis, the crisis management team that he
00:19:39.720 hired, he said to her, yeah, I just know her personality. Yeah, I just know her personality
00:19:45.640 talking about Blake. And this is the kind of person that genuinely believes she's right
00:19:50.840 and that all of this is unjust. And Melissa's response, she fully does. I know it. And then
00:19:57.800 Justin says, so those people seek justice at any cost. That is why I just have a hard time
00:20:05.340 believing she is done but trusting you and grateful for you. He said that on August 30th
00:20:14.180 2024. So he had a feeling that they were not done and as you know almost two years later
00:20:22.500 she's still not done. Anyways that's it for me today you guys. I hope you enjoyed this episode.
