Transcript

00:00:00.000 And you won't believe how crazy this man is, how angry he is, how erratic he is.
00:00:11.880 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Tashdi Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:16.340 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:20.800 Okay, so let's talk about Ryan Reynolds.
00:00:23.960 The text messages from Ryan to a lot of different people have just been unsealed.
00:00:32.320 And you won't believe how crazy this man is, how angry he is, how erratic he is,
00:00:39.720 and all the things that he's saying about Justin Baldoni.
00:00:43.440 I am floored. I couldn't sleep last night after reading all these messages.
00:00:48.020 It was so disturbing to me to learn who Ryan Reynolds really is.
00:00:53.160 Not only does he just text, these are text messages that goes on for pages and pages,
00:00:59.760 but the name-calling, the unprofessionalism,
00:01:03.280 and how he's trying to bring in all his A-list friends to hate on Justin Baldoni,
00:01:10.160 this is shocking.
00:01:12.920 At the end of this episode, I also want to talk about Blake Lively's letter to PGA,
00:01:17.980 Producers Guild of America.
00:01:19.140 She really fought to keep that sealed, and now we know why.
00:01:24.800 Because that letter alone will bring down Blake's case.
00:01:29.660 You've got to hear this.
00:01:31.400 But first, let's get into Ryan Reynolds' text messages.
00:01:34.700 So these texts basically gives a picture of a man who's trying to bring someone down.
00:01:42.140 He is not interested in coming up with any solution to the problem with Blake Lively.
00:01:49.680 And also, it's very clear from these text messages that Ryan was not worried about the S-H going on
00:01:57.460 with his wife on the set of It Ends With Us.
00:02:00.640 That had nothing to do with it.
00:02:02.440 What really worries Ryan here, mostly when he gets really frustrated,
00:02:08.040 is when Blake Lively is getting backlash for the marketing and promotion of It Ends With Us.
00:02:14.140 And of course, he is blaming that on Justin.
00:02:18.320 So let's get through these text messages and emails.
00:02:22.340 This message is from April of 2023.
00:02:29.000 This is before they even started shooting It Ends With Us.
00:02:33.120 And Ryan is having a conversation with Liz Plank.
00:02:36.680 Remember Liz Plank, Justin Baldoni's co-host on his podcast, Man Enough?
00:02:41.940 They worked together for four years.
00:02:44.280 And apparently, she thinks he's nuts.
00:02:47.320 So Ryan is texting Liz Plank saying,
00:02:51.020 I'm a little baffled by Mr. Baldoni.
00:02:53.380 I would love any guidance at some point.
00:02:56.400 Why is he already involved in this?
00:02:59.260 This is the crazy part for me because he's saying that Blake Lively is such an independent
00:03:03.780 and strong woman, but then he gets in her business all the time.
00:03:08.620 He's not just a supportive husband here.
00:03:10.660 He takes control over everything.
00:03:13.500 Liz Plank responds to him.
00:03:15.380 Rats, I tried to warn Blake on the red flags, but was hoping he had gotten better.
00:03:21.780 I'm on a shoot right now.
00:03:23.720 Want me to call you after?
00:03:25.980 Ryan responds, sure, zero pressure.
00:03:29.700 We can chat tomorrow and sigh.
00:03:32.720 Liz Plank responds, oh, I'm sorry, Ryan.
00:03:36.720 Working on his set was truly one of the worst days of my life.
00:03:40.900 But it's survivable and I'll help.
00:03:43.840 Call me anytime tomorrow.
00:03:46.380 As you know, Liz Plank really came around and helped when she publicly took a step back
00:03:52.640 from Justin Baldoni and left his podcast the same day or the day before, actually,
00:03:59.880 the New York Times article came out.
00:04:02.300 She left his podcast the same day as Blake Lively filed her CRD complaint in California.
00:04:08.220 So this was obviously orchestrated with Ryan Reynolds and they were already this close
00:04:13.460 over a year and a half before that actually happened.
00:04:17.860 Liz Plank kept doing Justin Baldoni's podcast after this conversation.
00:04:24.440 I don't know what she's talking about.
00:04:25.780 Her saying that working on this set was truly one of the worst days of my life because she
00:04:30.400 kept doing this podcast.
00:04:31.980 Anyway, let's get to the next one.
00:04:34.340 Here Ryan is sending a text to Josh Greenstein.
00:04:36.860 He is one of the executives at Sony.
00:04:41.120 So Sony was the distributor of the movie It Ends With Us.
00:04:44.460 So Ryan is chit-chatting here in the beginning.
00:04:46.480 I'm not going to read all of these text messages because they're so long.
00:04:49.820 He loves word salad just like his wife.
00:04:52.780 But I'm going to point to some of the things that he's saying here that I found pretty interesting.
00:04:58.300 So at first he's saying to Josh,
00:05:00.000 I can't thank you enough for your level of integrity and leadership with It Ends With Us drama.
00:05:04.820 You're not only backstopping a vastly better version of the film, but you're making fans
00:05:09.980 and allies left, right and center.
00:05:13.100 First he kissed ass.
00:05:14.260 He does that with everyone.
00:05:15.680 You'll see.
00:05:16.160 And then he says,
00:05:17.880 Behind the scene stuff has been so confounding.
00:05:23.280 If I read it in a script, my main note would be to tone it down.
00:05:28.300 This guy is genuinely touched in some very strange ways.
00:05:33.340 Like a melon baller,
00:05:34.960 That's what he says about Justin Baldoni.
00:05:46.360 And then he's complimenting him again, saying,
00:05:48.860 I can imagine there's almost no aspect of this which has been easy for you to navigate.
00:05:54.980 So then he's asking what he can do in return,
00:05:57.600 saying that if there's any way I can pay it forward any time,
00:06:00.480 say the word and I'll show up for you.
00:06:02.760 Try me.
00:06:03.480 And then Josh Greenstein responds, saying thank you, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:07.880 And then he's saying,
00:06:08.780 Would be a dream to have both of you making movies at Sony in the future.
00:06:13.300 Well, let's see if that happens.
00:06:16.080 So this was in May of 2024.
00:06:19.360 So this was before the movie came out and after they finished shooting the film.
00:06:24.280 Then there's a long text message that Ryan sent to Justin.
00:06:28.560 That is not new.
00:06:29.780 It was in Justin's complaint where he's saying,
00:06:32.060 I love you and I admire you and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:34.880 And then also asking him for a lot of favors to move the shoot a couple of weeks for his wife and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:41.100 I'm not going to read that one.
00:06:42.560 Then it gets really interesting.
00:06:43.960 So here is a text exchange he had with Patrick Whitesell.
00:06:48.120 Patrick Whitesell is an executive over at WME, the agency that represented both Ryan and Blake and also Justin.
00:06:57.720 So he's trying to get Patrick on the phone here saying,
00:07:01.420 Hi, I tried to call you.
00:07:02.480 I'm in London, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:03.800 Can you talk?
00:07:04.720 I understand that, you know, it's the weekend, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:07.420 And then I don't know if this is after they actually spoke on the phone or not.
00:07:13.000 And this happened in July, by the way.
00:07:15.080 So just a month before the premiere of the movie.
00:07:18.980 Ryan sends this to Patrick and he says,
00:07:22.100 Talking to Danny would be helpful, Ryan says.
00:07:46.480 Danny was Justin Baldoni's agent over at WME.
00:07:50.280 And Ryan is asking Patrick if he can get him in touch with Justin's agent.
00:07:56.760 He says, I don't want to prescribe anything.
00:07:58.840 I want to enlist Danny to help.
00:08:01.400 I'd like to present options.
00:08:03.640 Justin should be writing 15 page apology letter to Blake and dozens of other folks from the film.
00:08:10.820 Instead, he continues to attack Blake.
00:08:13.900 How is he attacking Blake?
00:08:15.560 As I said the other day, all the women in the movie thought that Justin was bullying them
00:08:20.060 because he was promoting the movie, talking about the subject matter of the movie, and they didn't.
00:08:25.800 So when they got backlash online, that was because of Justin in their minds.
00:08:31.860 And he continues to attack Blake, he says.
00:08:34.000 And before long, she's going to stop protecting him from the other cast and crew who want to hold him accountable.
00:08:41.080 Really, he's a bit trumpy in the sense he just labels everybody else the very thing he is himself.
00:08:49.640 Wow.
00:08:50.520 Those are big words coming from Ryan, who is doing exactly the same thing.
00:08:56.100 And then he says,
00:08:56.820 I'd put Blake's reputation on trial any day of the week.
00:09:01.040 She worked with Oliver Effing Stone and dozens of other mercurial and abusive people.
00:09:07.900 So he's saying that Oliver is abusive.
00:09:10.580 Okay.
00:09:10.780 In her experience and mine, nobody has ever reached the empyrean hate, the empyrean hates of vile the way Justin Baldoni has.
00:09:22.120 His complete lack of not only remorse, but self-preservation is a character study in malignant, lazy, lidded stupidity and darkness.
00:09:33.240 And then he adds at the end,
00:09:35.920 I'd much rather focus on what's important, but this thing has to be dealt with.
00:09:40.760 And I'm happy to jump in with Danny whenever you feel it's the right moment.
00:09:45.020 I'll be very calm, diplomatic and solution-oriented.
00:09:48.320 One thing we learned from all of these text messages from Ryan Reynolds is that he is not solution-oriented.
00:09:54.620 He does not want there to be a truce.
00:09:56.940 He doesn't want there to be peace between them.
00:09:58.980 He just wants to punish Justin.
00:10:01.780 And here is a long, long rant he is sending to Warren Zavala, who is also an agent at WME.
00:10:12.880 He's really trying to contact everyone he can at WME to tell them how horrible Justin Baldoni is.
00:10:19.340 And this is so insane, you guys thinking about it.
00:10:21.840 You know, this is his wife's movie.
00:10:23.840 He should have nothing to do with this.
00:10:26.020 This is not a behavior of a protective husband.
00:10:28.780 This is a behavior of a psychopath.
00:10:32.220 This is sent on August 9th of 2024.
00:10:36.480 So this is around the premiere of It Ends With Us.
00:10:39.880 And this is when Blake started to get a lot of backlash online.
00:10:44.680 And this is when Ryan Reynolds completely flips.
00:10:48.340 He cannot handle the backlash that his wife is getting.
00:10:52.000 And I'm also sure that he's thinking how it can rub off on him.
00:10:55.680 So in this text, I don't know how he can write text like this.
00:10:58.780 This is like a book.
00:11:00.320 Anyways, he starts off by saying,
00:11:02.760 you can sort of feel the Baldoni stuff coming to a head online.
00:11:07.220 Twitter and TikTok are inexplicably blaming Blake at the moment.
00:11:11.400 But I can't imagine details won't come out because Baldoni and Jamie Heath offended,
00:11:17.940 harassed or violated too many people.
00:11:21.240 And the internet is obviously looking for answers and obviously seeing how every cast
00:11:25.660 member and key crew member, including Hoover, won't be in the same room as this guy.
00:11:31.920 All of them have at some point over the last six months unfollowed him on social media
00:11:36.600 because his wife told them to do so.
00:11:39.600 Anyways, not one person has said Justin's name out loud in any interviews at any time
00:11:44.060 because Blake told them not to.
00:11:46.060 At what point do Justin and Jamie not take a moment to step into the light and say,
00:11:51.940 maybe it's us?
00:11:53.740 And then he's saying that Todd Black, a rep from Sony, called him in panic.
00:11:58.380 He said the call didn't go well because he's looking to brainstorm ways to diffuse the stuff
00:12:04.480 with Baldoni.
00:12:06.520 Paraphrasing here, but basically Todd's line of thinking is,
00:12:10.280 why doesn't Blake just hit it head on and say,
00:12:15.720 Justin and I had disagreements and didn't get along,
00:12:19.160 but we both love the film so much, etc., etc.
00:12:22.480 I think that sounded like a great solution, by the way.
00:12:25.840 Why didn't they just do that and move on and enjoy all the success of this film?
00:12:31.760 But no.
00:12:33.500 And then Ryan says,
00:12:34.740 what I expressed to Todd is this attitude and approach is the exact problem.
00:12:40.080 So he doesn't want this approach to find a solution, basically.
00:12:44.260 I'm getting it right.
00:12:45.640 He and Ange would prefer B, Blake, to roll over and lie
00:12:50.300 because the box office is on fire.
00:12:53.740 I told Todd it's infuriating.
00:12:56.460 Anyone would look at Blake to fix a problem.
00:12:58.940 Baldoni, Jamie, and to a certain degree, Ange literally manifested.
00:13:05.520 So he's also blaming Ange Giannetti over at Sony.
00:13:10.920 If you've seen some headlines lately about someone calling Blake a terrorist,
00:13:16.780 that is Ange, one of the Sony reps.
00:13:20.240 It seemed like she was always on team Justin and Jamie here,
00:13:23.980 and she was present on set a lot.
00:13:26.740 And then he continues to say how frustrated he is
00:13:29.340 and that no one's taking any responsibility.
00:13:32.700 She effing refused to give up the film
00:13:34.840 and how hard Blake worked on this movie.
00:13:38.700 And this is terrible for her.
00:13:40.760 I mean, he's talking about the backlash she's getting online here.
00:13:43.600 He's not talking about what Justin supposedly did to her.
00:13:47.640 And then he said she willed this weekend into reality.
00:13:51.360 Baldoni and these other buckets of dum-dum juice
00:13:54.900 should be acknowledging the speculation and gossip themselves.
00:13:59.820 They should be jumping in front of it in the most full-throated, unqualified way.
00:14:05.600 Now, they should be protecting Blake.
00:14:08.800 They can and should accept the consequences of their actions
00:14:13.080 and lean into the countless and willfully gross behavior
00:14:16.860 before it leans into them.
00:14:19.840 So he's saying that no way should Blake take responsibility for any of this.
00:14:25.000 It's all their fault.
00:14:27.160 And then he's saying that if they are made of anything
00:14:29.640 resembling the humanity or dignity or capacity for growth
00:14:33.380 that they project on their feminist shithole of a podcast,
00:14:39.360 they'd be releasing a statement saying something like,
00:14:43.640 and then he goes on about this statement
00:14:46.320 that he wants Justin and Jamie to make public,
00:14:50.860 taking all the responsibility.
00:14:52.820 It's insane.
00:14:53.600 I'm not going to read the whole thing.
00:14:54.700 It's so much.
00:14:55.920 Ryan just like pukes up words here.
00:14:59.220 He's ending it here saying that
00:15:01.220 I think some action is necessary.
00:15:03.700 She could not be subjected to some eye roll narrative
00:15:06.780 of the controlling bitch.
00:15:09.240 So he's saying here that that's what she's being labeled as right now,
00:15:12.560 the controlling bitch.
00:15:14.080 Anyways, now Warren responds and says that,
00:15:17.200 first of all, I love your writing.
00:15:20.860 I've read this a couple of times.
00:15:22.860 I think we should chat.
00:15:24.060 I can't respond in a way that plays at the same level.
00:15:26.920 Simply, you're right.
00:15:27.960 They can't have some expectation
00:15:29.460 that she's going to make it fine for the offender.
00:15:32.800 Nor do I think these guys have the humility or capacity
00:15:36.380 to be proactive in that way.
00:15:38.100 I think their instincts are self-serving
00:15:40.120 and quite the opposite.
00:15:42.120 Warren also says,
00:15:43.280 I think a lot of these are bots
00:15:45.320 pointing to all the backlash that Blake is receiving,
00:15:49.240 saying, Sarah and I are looking at it.
00:15:51.400 My belief is that she's,
00:15:53.480 and he says,
00:15:54.220 my belief is that he, Justin,
00:15:56.920 is orchestrating a narrative
00:15:58.700 and probably has a crisis team
00:16:00.560 plotting his moves here.
00:16:02.640 It's the exact opposite of what should be happening.
00:16:06.260 This narrative of he's the only one
00:16:08.960 talking about the book and DV smells of foul play.
00:16:12.980 Not to be alarmist.
00:16:15.400 Todd is so disappointing on this.
00:16:17.260 So they're disappointed about Todd Black over at Sony.
00:16:20.340 I think it's clear that Sony wants to keep out of this,
00:16:22.700 but they're being dragged into it.
00:16:24.300 And Ryan Reynolds is making sure
00:16:25.840 that everyone is being dragged into this.
00:16:28.400 So then they mention Johnny Depp here,
00:16:31.100 how it turned out for him.
00:16:32.800 I think because Warren says,
00:16:34.380 this is all spin.
00:16:35.620 I think we will let it burn,
00:16:37.460 some bad press around Blake.
00:16:39.560 And Ryan said,
00:16:40.320 how did that work out for Depp?
00:16:42.500 Not well, says Warren.
00:16:44.200 Cratered both of them ultimately,
00:16:47.020 talking about how it hurt both Depp and Amber Heard.
00:16:50.440 Maybe Ryan should have listened then
00:16:52.660 and not supported Blake in filing this ridiculous lawsuit
00:16:55.820 that would have saved him and a lot of people,
00:16:58.840 a lot of stress and money.
00:17:00.820 And then Warren Zavala says this about Justin.
00:17:03.060 That's why he's an egocentrical shit weasel
00:17:05.360 with a God complex.
00:17:07.080 Woo.
00:17:07.580 And Warren says that he spoke to Leslie Sloan.
00:17:10.960 She's in it with Josh and the studio.
00:17:14.280 She has a relationship with this woman, Melissa,
00:17:16.260 that has been retained by Baldoni.
00:17:18.580 She's the Brit that worked with Depp.
00:17:20.660 Call me when you want to discuss.
00:17:23.040 And then Ryan says,
00:17:24.060 Leslie should definitely engage the studio
00:17:26.140 and fight back in any way necessary.
00:17:29.160 He's saying,
00:17:29.680 but I think we just stay quiet
00:17:31.200 and let Baldoni do his thing.
00:17:33.220 Probably best not to get lost in the comment section.
00:17:37.020 Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
00:17:38.100 Maybe turn it off by now, Ryan.
00:17:40.180 I understand the industry is at Twitter
00:17:43.100 and the gossip crowd,
00:17:44.700 but nothing shuts people up like victory.
00:17:47.680 Millions of people will see and talk about
00:17:49.760 and be affected by this film this weekend.
00:17:52.300 A film Blake strongly authored.
00:17:55.620 Totally.
00:17:56.760 Let them effing quibble about how strongly.
00:17:59.720 Let that human rounding error,
00:18:02.100 Baldoni, play his little game.
00:18:04.160 This is a giant ass victory.
00:18:06.220 Congrats.
00:18:07.340 He is so hot and cold here.
00:18:09.600 Now he's celebrating the victory
00:18:11.220 of how successful the movie is.
00:18:13.160 And then he says,
00:18:15.280 if ever need to be,
00:18:17.060 Blake can just go on the record
00:18:18.760 and explain what working with him was like
00:18:21.440 in the most plain language possible.
00:18:24.120 So Ryan wants Blake to basically go on the record
00:18:26.840 and talk about this already back then,
00:18:28.920 already back in August.
00:18:30.120 As you know, she did nothing.
00:18:31.480 Then Ryan sends a message to Colleen Hoover.
00:18:35.520 I am sending you literally
00:18:38.060 every form of congratulations.
00:18:41.560 I see the sky while jumping up and down
00:18:44.080 and rapidly happy clapping.
00:18:46.900 At one point,
00:18:47.680 I was three feet from you at the after party,
00:18:50.020 but I wasn't able to extricate myself
00:18:53.440 from the Sony Studios chairman's mouth.
00:18:55.660 I'm still in here and a little shocked.
00:18:58.180 I have service.
00:19:00.120 Holy effety eff.
00:19:01.560 You guys really pulled it off.
00:19:03.340 Blah, blah, blah.
00:19:03.980 He is kissing Colleen Hoover's ass
00:19:06.580 like nothing I've ever seen before.
00:19:09.220 And he goes on and on
00:19:10.440 talking about how amazing she is
00:19:12.640 and how proud she must be.
00:19:14.200 Blah, blah, blah.
00:19:15.180 Then he says,
00:19:16.100 what a complete effing win this is.
00:19:18.200 I know we all breathe rare air.
00:19:21.040 I realize how lucky we are,
00:19:22.940 but I also know how genuinely good
00:19:25.620 you and Blake are.
00:19:27.860 And seeing you and seeing good people
00:19:30.140 put shitty people over their knee
00:19:32.020 for a good old-fashioned
00:19:34.500 pants-down spanking
00:19:36.240 in the supermarket
00:19:37.480 is a special experience
00:19:39.360 I don't take for granted.
00:19:41.580 He says,
00:19:42.000 I could literally write you
00:19:43.460 84 more paragraphs
00:19:44.900 utilizing what this all means to me.
00:19:48.680 And then he's saying that,
00:19:50.000 if you are still in New York City,
00:19:51.680 we're back tonight
00:19:52.540 and we'd love to see you both.
00:19:54.160 And if you feel like getting some fresh air,
00:19:56.140 we have a whole beautiful empty cottage
00:19:58.020 an hour out of the city.
00:19:59.380 It's the perfect place to unplug
00:20:01.500 from the internet's digital anxiety system.
00:20:04.540 Love, lots of love.
00:20:06.480 So Ryan is investing a lot of words
00:20:08.800 into convincing Colleen
00:20:11.260 that he and Blake probably
00:20:13.140 should do the sequel of this movie
00:20:14.760 and get more of her books.
00:20:16.860 And Colleen says that
00:20:17.960 she just landed in Texas.
00:20:19.940 And thank you so much.
00:20:21.320 This has all been such a whirlwind,
00:20:22.880 both beautiful and terrifying.
00:20:24.420 And sometimes I feel like I don't belong,
00:20:26.340 but Blake has made me feel
00:20:27.360 so welcome and valued
00:20:28.660 and I couldn't be more grateful to her.
00:20:30.960 And then she ends
00:20:31.600 and then blah, blah, blah, kiss ass.
00:20:33.880 And then she ends it with,
00:20:34.920 you guys are class acts
00:20:35.980 and I will stand by that forever.
00:20:38.540 She didn't do that, by the way,
00:20:39.840 because she did delete Blake
00:20:40.940 from Instagram
00:20:41.740 and all the photos of them together.
00:20:44.580 Then Ryan responds,
00:20:46.200 blah, blah, blah.
00:20:46.800 And then he says,
00:20:47.640 and I know things have been noisy
00:20:48.980 with that schmuck
00:20:49.900 talking about Justin.
00:20:51.140 He literally hired
00:20:52.440 Johnny Depp's crisis team,
00:20:53.940 which is why social
00:20:54.920 has been so weird.
00:20:57.260 They utilize thousands of bots
00:20:59.560 and it's all kind of gross.
00:21:01.920 The higher road can be lonely,
00:21:03.980 but the movie opening
00:21:05.020 to this historic number
00:21:06.780 is the checkmate
00:21:07.800 nobody can compete with.
00:21:09.780 I hope you can take this in.
00:21:11.960 It's not only hard fought,
00:21:13.300 but a very rare feeling
00:21:14.760 worth holding on to.
00:21:15.860 Blake has been emotionally wrecked
00:21:17.400 the last couple of days,
00:21:18.420 but she's so happy this worked.
00:21:20.700 Then Colleen responds,
00:21:22.740 I had a feeling
00:21:23.880 this was Justin's team
00:21:25.380 controlling the only narrative.
00:21:28.020 I'm just staying offline
00:21:29.200 and have a wonderful group
00:21:30.620 of people in my life
00:21:31.680 who send me all the good stuff.
00:21:33.700 Ryan responds that,
00:21:34.940 yeah, when he uses
00:21:36.020 a crisis team like that,
00:21:37.340 you can start to see
00:21:38.240 all the strategy
00:21:39.140 they've equipped with him.
00:21:41.400 Crisis team.
00:21:42.340 Okay, Justin,
00:21:43.020 all you do is talk about DV
00:21:44.520 and how wonderful Blake is
00:21:45.780 and we'll handle the online stuff
00:21:47.740 no matter what.
00:21:49.180 You keep up your feminist advocacy
00:21:51.080 and speak like an emotionally
00:21:52.800 elevated thought leader.
00:21:54.320 Understood?
00:21:55.520 Justin, namasta,
00:21:56.840 let's get this bitch.
00:21:58.260 And Colleen laughs about it
00:21:59.580 and Ryan says,
00:22:00.300 and I think the truth about him
00:22:01.540 is already finding
00:22:02.420 its way to the light.
00:22:03.720 It's interesting
00:22:04.340 how Ryan contacted Colleen
00:22:06.120 to give her all this praise
00:22:08.420 and to tell her
00:22:09.480 how amazing she is.
00:22:10.640 And then the real reason
00:22:11.800 is here,
00:22:13.000 talking about Justin
00:22:14.180 and this smear campaign.
00:22:15.960 And he wants,
00:22:17.140 of course,
00:22:17.600 her as well
00:22:18.460 to come out publicly
00:22:19.720 and support Blake.
00:22:21.560 That is what he's working on here.
00:22:23.120 He's really trying
00:22:24.720 to convince
00:22:26.140 and manipulate
00:22:26.940 all these people
00:22:27.980 to go on the record
00:22:29.120 and no one's doing it.
00:22:30.860 He keeps planting seeds
00:22:32.640 in everyone
00:22:33.480 that Justin
00:22:34.400 is behind
00:22:35.300 this smear campaign
00:22:36.440 and people believe it.
00:22:38.460 Okay,
00:22:38.880 so let's go to the next one.
00:22:40.280 Another long word salad
00:22:42.620 from Ryan Reynolds
00:22:44.080 to Patrick Whitesell.
00:22:46.600 Patrick Whitesell
00:22:47.840 is the executive
00:22:49.040 at WME.
00:22:50.340 Just a reminder
00:22:51.100 that the agency
00:22:53.400 that Ryan
00:22:54.580 is a part of
00:22:55.880 and Blake
00:22:56.540 and Justin
00:22:57.200 at this point.
00:22:58.240 So he is sending
00:22:59.900 this long email here
00:23:01.000 to complain
00:23:01.780 that no one
00:23:02.680 is taking any action
00:23:04.160 and Sony
00:23:05.980 is just cowards.
00:23:07.760 They're just like
00:23:08.420 trying to
00:23:09.140 have their hands clean
00:23:10.860 and someone
00:23:12.000 should step up
00:23:12.780 at this point
00:23:13.580 and do something.
00:23:14.620 He's sending this
00:23:15.980 on August 12th.
00:23:19.220 This is after
00:23:20.220 I published that video
00:23:21.540 with his wife
00:23:22.380 by the way
00:23:23.060 and that video
00:23:24.220 as you know
00:23:24.660 went viral
00:23:25.400 and it created
00:23:26.840 a lot
00:23:27.960 of backlash
00:23:28.900 for Blake
00:23:29.420 and this
00:23:30.700 is where
00:23:31.660 Ryan is getting
00:23:32.760 really erratic.
00:23:34.620 He says
00:23:34.960 I can't and won't
00:23:36.100 sit by
00:23:36.880 watching my wife
00:23:37.920 who's been asked
00:23:38.600 to shapeshift
00:23:39.580 around a problematic man
00:23:40.880 since the very beginning
00:23:41.860 of this movie
00:23:42.420 completely
00:23:43.460 a grand slam
00:23:44.800 home run
00:23:45.380 only to be dragged
00:23:46.700 through the mud
00:23:47.400 while people ring
00:23:48.420 the shame bell
00:23:49.360 behind her
00:23:50.060 and beside me
00:23:51.580 and her
00:23:52.660 nobody seems willing
00:23:53.860 to have an uncomfortable
00:23:54.980 conversation
00:23:55.700 on her behalf
00:23:56.600 or on my behalf.
00:23:58.140 So he's saying
00:23:59.260 someone needs
00:24:00.280 to go on the record
00:24:01.580 and protect Blake
00:24:03.680 and defend her.
00:24:05.460 He says
00:24:05.940 Blake deserves
00:24:06.620 to have people
00:24:07.300 step up for her.
00:24:08.360 Everyone who knows
00:24:09.080 the truth
00:24:09.660 should be in her corner
00:24:11.040 seeking accountability.
00:24:13.260 Ryan really believes
00:24:14.520 this is what's so
00:24:16.000 like baffling to me
00:24:17.640 that he really believes
00:24:19.600 that his wife
00:24:20.600 did nothing wrong
00:24:21.820 by taking over
00:24:23.040 the entire movie.
00:24:25.020 We'll get back
00:24:25.840 to more of that
00:24:26.860 in the end
00:24:27.320 of this episode
00:24:28.080 because that PGA letter
00:24:29.500 that she wrote
00:24:30.500 uh yeah.
00:24:32.620 Ryan says that
00:24:33.500 we're not asking them
00:24:34.640 to detail
00:24:35.360 the dumb dumb
00:24:36.060 horror show
00:24:36.800 of a production
00:24:37.540 they willfully created.
00:24:39.040 We're asking them
00:24:39.820 to take accountability
00:24:40.780 under the most
00:24:42.220 generous terms
00:24:43.300 imaginable
00:24:44.140 to apologize
00:24:45.120 to Blake,
00:24:45.860 Colleen and the rest
00:24:46.580 of the cast
00:24:47.120 and crew
00:24:47.520 they've hurt.
00:24:48.800 Folks who acted
00:24:49.640 with integrity
00:24:50.600 and professionalism
00:24:51.580 throughout the entire
00:24:52.480 production,
00:24:53.400 post-production
00:24:54.000 and promotion
00:24:55.120 of the film.
00:24:56.360 And then he says
00:24:57.260 the thing that I believe
00:24:58.520 both my wife and I
00:24:59.900 are missing
00:25:00.500 most in this debacle
00:25:02.080 is your rage.
00:25:04.300 And I hope
00:25:05.060 I've illustrated
00:25:05.840 why that is.
00:25:07.360 I've never had
00:25:08.320 anything but
00:25:09.000 an intense
00:25:09.900 love and admiration
00:25:11.160 for WME
00:25:12.160 and the entire
00:25:13.540 company
00:25:14.160 but I've also
00:25:15.180 never needed
00:25:16.020 WME
00:25:16.760 like I do
00:25:17.620 in this moment.
00:25:19.500 I'm always
00:25:20.280 comfortable
00:25:20.940 handling my own
00:25:22.280 shit
00:25:22.620 but this is
00:25:23.480 the situation
00:25:24.160 in which I need
00:25:25.240 along with Blake
00:25:26.440 a sense of
00:25:27.820 solidarity
00:25:28.420 and duty
00:25:29.580 of care.
00:25:31.200 This is a threat.
00:25:32.940 So Patrick Weasel
00:25:34.060 is saying that
00:25:34.740 I completely
00:25:35.440 weasel
00:25:36.900 Patrick Weasel
00:25:38.720 is responding
00:25:39.420 here saying
00:25:39.920 Ryan I completely
00:25:40.740 understand all of this
00:25:41.680 Blake and you deserve
00:25:42.460 the advocacy from us
00:25:43.680 and your agents.
00:25:45.660 I hadn't been aware
00:25:46.700 of all of this
00:25:47.560 until you reached out
00:25:48.480 to me a few weeks ago
00:25:49.500 but in just these
00:25:50.460 few weeks I've learned
00:25:51.660 the full picture
00:25:52.380 of what Blake
00:25:52.920 you and many others
00:25:53.680 have endured.
00:25:54.680 I'm really sorry
00:25:55.600 for all of you
00:25:56.260 blah blah blah.
00:25:57.580 And then Warren Zawala
00:25:58.660 chimes in.
00:25:59.400 So this is actually
00:26:00.120 a group chat.
00:26:01.740 He said that
00:26:02.300 I hung up with Josh
00:26:03.300 a bit ago
00:26:04.160 went crazy on him
00:26:05.240 for not getting back
00:26:06.200 to us today.
00:26:07.360 He said he had been
00:26:08.020 working internally
00:26:08.900 to arrange a call
00:26:10.020 for you and Blake
00:26:11.040 with him.
00:26:11.940 Tony and Tom
00:26:12.620 for the morning
00:26:13.240 he was reaching out
00:26:14.940 to arrange updates
00:26:16.020 on the draft.
00:26:17.440 So they're talking
00:26:18.260 about this draft
00:26:19.140 that they want
00:26:20.080 to force
00:26:20.980 Justin Baldoni
00:26:21.880 and Jamie Heath
00:26:23.060 to sign
00:26:23.780 to take responsibility
00:26:24.760 for everything
00:26:25.520 that went wrong
00:26:26.360 with the promotion
00:26:27.120 of It Ends With Us.
00:26:28.400 Again,
00:26:28.980 just a reminder
00:26:29.840 Ryan is not talking
00:26:31.500 about any S-age here.
00:26:32.940 He's only talking
00:26:33.900 about his wife reputation
00:26:35.440 and this is really
00:26:37.000 eating him up.
00:26:38.520 And he says
00:26:38.940 yes,
00:26:39.280 we definitely want
00:26:40.000 to see a draft
00:26:40.860 of what they're putting out.
00:26:42.080 He's just like
00:26:42.680 expecting them
00:26:43.420 to put out a draft
00:26:44.500 to put out this statement
00:26:45.680 it seems.
00:26:46.840 My assumption
00:26:47.260 is that both Sony
00:26:48.060 and Wafer
00:26:48.440 are going to attempt
00:26:49.260 to thread the needle
00:26:50.180 with any statement
00:26:51.320 and that can't happen.
00:26:53.520 Needs to be
00:26:54.000 an unqualified
00:26:54.760 unreserved
00:26:55.720 full throat apology
00:26:57.040 to Blake,
00:26:57.700 Colleen,
00:26:58.100 Jenny and Isabella
00:26:59.020 along with the rest
00:27:00.580 of the cast.
00:27:01.500 Do we have
00:27:02.400 any sense
00:27:02.900 of timeline here?
00:27:04.120 And Ryan says
00:27:04.760 I think we need
00:27:05.500 to coordinate
00:27:06.040 Cadence
00:27:07.120 with a Sony statement
00:27:08.440 and Baldoni Heath statement
00:27:09.800 and it absolutely
00:27:10.940 has to happen
00:27:11.740 today.
00:27:13.140 And I suspect
00:27:13.820 other cast
00:27:14.440 not Blake
00:27:14.920 will speak to this
00:27:15.800 on background
00:27:16.460 or on the record.
00:27:17.960 So again,
00:27:18.700 he wants people
00:27:19.380 to step forward
00:27:20.340 and as you know
00:27:21.660 this didn't actually happen.
00:27:23.620 They never signed
00:27:24.400 that statement
00:27:25.020 and no one
00:27:26.220 went on the record
00:27:27.040 to defend Blake.
00:27:28.560 Why was that?
00:27:29.520 If everyone believed
00:27:30.840 that she was
00:27:31.420 in the right
00:27:32.060 why was it so hard
00:27:33.620 to go on the record
00:27:34.360 to defend her?
00:27:35.540 Then obviously
00:27:36.500 he's been trying
00:27:37.080 to get people
00:27:37.640 to speak on the record
00:27:38.620 here and he's asking
00:27:39.920 Warren Zavala again
00:27:41.300 Alex isn't willing
00:27:42.580 to speak even
00:27:43.380 on background.
00:27:44.600 So Alex is another
00:27:45.480 producer.
00:27:46.200 I spoke about
00:27:46.940 Alex Sachs before.
00:27:48.420 She's one of the few
00:27:49.160 people who said
00:27:50.020 that Justin
00:27:50.660 was acting
00:27:51.760 inappropriate
00:27:52.320 on the set
00:27:52.980 because at one time
00:27:54.020 he slammed his hand
00:27:55.140 on a chair
00:27:56.280 because he was
00:27:57.340 frustrated.
00:27:58.500 Anyways,
00:27:59.480 then Warren says
00:28:00.280 that she definitely
00:28:01.180 was walking it back
00:28:03.060 with me and Jamie
00:28:03.880 but the cruz
00:28:05.000 of the issue
00:28:05.860 in terms of this article
00:28:07.120 is that she truly
00:28:08.920 believes Blake and Jenny
00:28:10.000 but did not witness
00:28:11.140 instances that they
00:28:12.420 shared with her.
00:28:13.960 She was yelled at,
00:28:15.180 treated poorly
00:28:15.920 and think they're assholes
00:28:17.360 her words
00:28:18.140 so she can't corroborate
00:28:19.920 what Jamie would need.
00:28:21.980 I don't know
00:28:22.360 who Jamie is.
00:28:23.060 It's not Jamie Heath.
00:28:24.080 It's someone that is
00:28:25.440 putting together
00:28:25.960 this statement or something.
00:28:27.420 From my early conversation
00:28:28.460 she was an advocate
00:28:29.380 for Justin being
00:28:30.380 replaced on the movie
00:28:31.520 and was told
00:28:32.640 that was impossible.
00:28:34.320 She, Alex Sachs,
00:28:35.400 wanted Justin Bologna
00:28:36.240 to be replaced
00:28:36.940 on the movie.
00:28:37.660 How insane is that?
00:28:39.000 He's a director
00:28:39.800 and he owns
00:28:41.320 the rights to the movie.
00:28:42.660 His production company
00:28:43.620 owns the rights
00:28:44.080 to the movie.
00:28:44.900 How can he be replaced?
00:28:46.440 And Ryan again says
00:28:47.520 that I just feel like
00:28:48.340 someone needs to advocate
00:28:49.280 for Blake
00:28:49.880 and this would be
00:28:50.700 on background only.
00:28:52.060 That means
00:28:52.600 that they would only
00:28:53.840 talk about circumstances
00:28:55.280 and not be quoted directly
00:28:57.060 but it seems like
00:28:57.860 no one's willing
00:28:58.340 to even do that.
00:28:59.700 And Warren says
00:29:00.400 and I have the same concern
00:29:01.620 I don't think
00:29:02.240 any of her colleagues
00:29:03.180 are advocating for her.
00:29:05.320 They didn't ask
00:29:06.180 themselves why.
00:29:07.700 And then Ryan says
00:29:08.620 to her he thinks
00:29:09.260 that the whole cast
00:29:10.220 should do a statement together.
00:29:12.180 A creepy guy
00:29:13.420 buys the right
00:29:14.180 to a film about DV.
00:29:15.520 He acts creepy on set,
00:29:16.940 creeps out a lot of members
00:29:18.240 of the cast and crew
00:29:19.640 including me.
00:29:20.880 He bites my lip
00:29:21.840 during a kissing scene
00:29:23.040 blah blah blah.
00:29:23.900 He's talking on behalf
00:29:25.640 of Blake all of a sudden here
00:29:27.240 and then Warren
00:29:28.280 is trying to divert
00:29:29.740 the attention here
00:29:30.980 saying on a positive note
00:29:32.440 Courtney Valenti
00:29:35.680 wants to find
00:29:36.460 a few movies with her.
00:29:38.560 Could not be more
00:29:39.380 complimentary of her work.
00:29:40.900 She said there should be
00:29:41.760 a study of her ability
00:29:42.820 to sell this movie
00:29:43.840 to where it is.
00:29:45.320 Other guys
00:29:46.060 was made roadkill
00:29:47.840 obviously.
00:29:48.560 So he's trying
00:29:49.780 to tell Ryan
00:29:50.560 you know
00:29:50.960 I'll get Blake
00:29:52.420 some more work instead.
00:29:53.880 Let's just leave it
00:29:54.740 at what it is.
00:29:55.840 And then Ryan says
00:29:56.560 that that was nice
00:29:57.320 of her to say
00:29:57.920 and yes B
00:29:58.780 he's calling Blake
00:29:59.980 B all the time
00:30:00.680 did something
00:30:01.260 exceptional with this
00:30:02.880 and it should have
00:30:03.700 changed the entire
00:30:04.740 game for her
00:30:05.480 but I'm not certain
00:30:06.660 she's ever going
00:30:07.620 to want to do this again.
00:30:09.960 And then
00:30:10.480 there's more.
00:30:11.900 Ryan Reynolds
00:30:12.360 again with his agent
00:30:14.380 Warren Zavala
00:30:15.480 or is it his agent?
00:30:16.900 Well it's an agent
00:30:17.800 at WME.
00:30:18.880 This is two days later.
00:30:20.780 Ryan is again texting
00:30:21.980 saying they have to
00:30:23.100 start advocating
00:30:23.980 for her.
00:30:25.140 He keeps pressuring him
00:30:26.680 to pressure
00:30:28.160 Justin and Jamie
00:30:29.960 to come up
00:30:30.740 with this statement
00:30:31.540 again.
00:30:32.840 And he's presenting
00:30:33.720 another option
00:30:34.960 of this statement
00:30:35.960 that Justin
00:30:37.360 and Jamie
00:30:38.760 should publish
00:30:40.300 and taking
00:30:41.900 all responsibility
00:30:42.760 again for everything
00:30:43.960 that went wrong
00:30:44.780 and he's rewritten it
00:30:46.360 extensively
00:30:47.460 since last time
00:30:48.560 he said
00:30:49.100 and then Ryan
00:30:49.720 says that
00:30:50.200 people need to
00:30:50.980 step up immediately
00:30:51.740 this is the most
00:30:52.420 disturbing thing
00:30:53.160 I've ever seen
00:30:54.680 in this business.
00:30:55.920 Sony needs to
00:30:56.640 step up for real.
00:30:57.780 Enough is enough.
00:30:59.440 He is so mad
00:31:00.620 at Sony here
00:31:01.460 putting pressure
00:31:02.280 on them
00:31:02.760 and then Warren
00:31:03.600 says that Sony
00:31:04.440 claims that they're
00:31:05.200 trying to kill it
00:31:06.100 trying to kill
00:31:06.940 this whole situation.
00:31:08.460 I told him
00:31:09.000 that's not good enough
00:31:09.980 they need to
00:31:10.520 actually own
00:31:11.420 that the narrative
00:31:12.360 around all of this
00:31:13.280 is untrue.
00:31:14.200 Then Warren asks
00:31:15.680 Hi
00:31:16.520 who is in touch
00:31:17.560 with Daily Mail?
00:31:18.760 They can send them
00:31:19.740 my email
00:31:20.920 they can send them
00:31:21.980 my email
00:31:22.840 and Ryan says
00:31:23.720 someone named Jamie
00:31:24.800 is in touch
00:31:26.020 with Daily Mail
00:31:26.920 so they're obviously
00:31:28.340 planting stories here.
00:31:30.800 Then Warren says
00:31:31.560 here
00:31:32.020 and then there's a lot
00:31:33.000 of other chit-chats
00:31:34.000 and then Warren says
00:31:34.880 the reporter had
00:31:35.920 reached out
00:31:36.760 via email
00:31:37.600 to Leslie
00:31:38.300 now has connected
00:31:40.080 with Sony
00:31:40.980 head of comms
00:31:42.320 she has both
00:31:43.820 their short statements
00:31:44.900 and no longer versions
00:31:46.340 I imagine
00:31:47.080 killing the story
00:31:47.980 is their focus
00:31:48.680 I plan to call
00:31:49.680 Ari tomorrow
00:31:50.460 and have him
00:31:51.660 give us good friend
00:31:52.960 Tom a call
00:31:54.320 that is Ari
00:31:55.560 and Manuel
00:31:56.040 one of the owners
00:31:57.220 of WME
00:31:58.340 this is going
00:31:59.400 like to the highest level
00:32:00.700 then again
00:32:01.900 Ryan says
00:32:02.720 that Sony
00:32:03.400 needs to take
00:32:04.260 responsibility
00:32:04.920 he wants them
00:32:06.180 to take responsibility
00:32:07.060 for the marketing
00:32:08.300 I don't see
00:32:08.880 any way
00:32:09.420 shape or form
00:32:10.160 that it would
00:32:10.720 put them
00:32:11.180 in any bad
00:32:12.060 position
00:32:12.520 he says
00:32:13.020 it's just
00:32:13.860 the truth
00:32:14.680 and they have it
00:32:16.060 within their power
00:32:16.860 to do this
00:32:17.580 it's a light lift
00:32:19.000 and the least
00:32:20.680 they can do
00:32:21.480 they can't
00:32:22.180 abandon her
00:32:23.140 on this subject
00:32:24.220 then they're sending
00:32:25.600 some attachments
00:32:26.800 here
00:32:27.360 from an interview
00:32:29.440 I think
00:32:30.300 and then
00:32:31.320 Ryan says
00:32:32.360 and you know
00:32:33.100 the most heartbroken
00:32:34.200 thing about this
00:32:35.220 analysis
00:32:35.800 someone on TikTok
00:32:36.820 probably analyzed
00:32:37.840 something that
00:32:38.400 Blake said
00:32:38.920 I am guessing
00:32:40.180 this is the interview
00:32:41.320 where she said
00:32:42.540 like
00:32:42.840 oh you want
00:32:43.220 my phone number
00:32:44.080 you want
00:32:45.180 my location
00:32:46.100 and my location
00:32:47.180 pin
00:32:47.520 whatever
00:32:47.920 and Ryan says
00:32:49.160 that Blake
00:32:49.620 didn't realize
00:32:50.340 that the rest
00:32:50.940 of that interview
00:32:51.620 was so redemptive
00:32:52.900 they're obviously
00:32:54.400 only playing
00:32:55.160 the section
00:32:55.760 Melissa Nathan
00:32:56.580 isolated
00:32:57.480 and amplified
00:32:58.320 so they think
00:32:59.380 Melissa Nathan
00:33:00.140 was out there
00:33:01.140 doing this kind
00:33:02.060 of stuff
00:33:02.580 and all these
00:33:03.580 people are just
00:33:04.200 bots
00:33:04.560 obviously
00:33:05.020 Blake believed
00:33:06.340 their propaganda
00:33:07.220 she believes
00:33:08.640 that she
00:33:09.300 effed up
00:33:10.020 and has been
00:33:10.580 kicking her
00:33:11.180 own ass
00:33:12.080 for the
00:33:12.580 unforced error
00:33:13.540 but she actually
00:33:14.720 answered his
00:33:15.580 question with
00:33:16.300 sensitivity
00:33:16.860 and thoughtfulness
00:33:17.980 I don't know
00:33:20.000 exactly as I said
00:33:20.840 which interview
00:33:21.400 this is
00:33:22.000 but if the
00:33:22.800 whole internet
00:33:23.560 is reacting
00:33:24.320 to it
00:33:24.900 in the way
00:33:25.520 that he's
00:33:26.120 obviously
00:33:26.520 concerned
00:33:27.060 that they did
00:33:27.880 then
00:33:28.780 I don't think
00:33:30.200 she responded
00:33:30.860 with sensitivity
00:33:31.660 and thoughtfulness
00:33:32.700 that is not
00:33:33.400 those are not
00:33:34.200 words
00:33:34.660 that we
00:33:35.900 connect
00:33:36.860 with Blake
00:33:37.500 lively
00:33:37.880 and then
00:33:38.660 he's talking
00:33:39.200 and he's
00:33:39.660 continued
00:33:40.020 talking about
00:33:40.760 people taking
00:33:41.340 responsibility
00:33:41.840 here that
00:33:42.500 he needs
00:33:42.820 to begin
00:33:43.280 by acknowledging
00:33:44.180 the cultural
00:33:44.960 conversation
00:33:45.700 and the
00:33:46.200 systematic
00:33:46.600 campaign
00:33:47.860 coordinated
00:33:48.760 by Justin's
00:33:50.040 crisis management
00:33:51.000 team
00:33:51.380 so he also
00:33:52.960 at this point
00:33:53.720 want Justin
00:33:54.320 to come out
00:33:54.860 and take
00:33:55.180 responsibility
00:33:55.800 for doing
00:33:57.040 this on
00:33:57.480 purpose
00:33:58.080 to Blake
00:33:58.840 for organizing
00:33:59.900 this orchestrated
00:34:01.120 smear campaign
00:34:01.980 against her
00:34:02.560 and then
00:34:03.220 Warren is saying
00:34:03.960 I think the last
00:34:04.660 part is what
00:34:05.200 the lawyers
00:34:05.660 buck against
00:34:06.580 let us keep
00:34:07.740 leaning in
00:34:08.360 we will
00:34:08.840 unleash
00:34:09.540 Ari
00:34:10.260 but someone
00:34:11.100 playing the
00:34:11.760 game at the
00:34:12.340 same level
00:34:12.880 as them
00:34:13.400 in terms
00:34:13.880 of the
00:34:14.180 internet
00:34:14.580 is what
00:34:15.100 we need
00:34:15.620 so Ari
00:34:16.980 Emmanuel
00:34:17.300 actually
00:34:17.900 came out
00:34:18.720 at one
00:34:19.240 point
00:34:19.700 and said
00:34:20.700 that he
00:34:21.260 loves Blake
00:34:22.040 and Ryan
00:34:22.840 and he
00:34:23.680 was the
00:34:24.140 one who
00:34:25.320 let Justin
00:34:26.020 go
00:34:26.520 basically
00:34:27.140 but that
00:34:28.000 happened
00:34:28.480 after Blake's
00:34:29.360 lawsuit
00:34:29.640 nothing
00:34:30.080 happened
00:34:30.500 at this
00:34:30.820 point
00:34:31.060 no one
00:34:31.820 wanted to
00:34:32.500 stand up
00:34:33.300 for Blake
00:34:33.740 no one
00:34:34.700 wanted to
00:34:35.260 defend her
00:34:35.920 and that's
00:34:36.320 important to
00:34:36.920 remember
00:34:37.300 and Ryan
00:34:38.500 just goes
00:34:39.040 on and
00:34:39.620 on here
00:34:40.240 and he's
00:34:41.400 so frustrated
00:34:42.360 about this
00:34:42.880 backlash
00:34:43.280 and for him
00:34:44.060 it's impossible
00:34:45.280 to comprehend
00:34:46.380 that any
00:34:47.680 of this
00:34:48.200 is organic
00:34:49.020 he cannot
00:34:50.000 understand
00:34:50.680 that people
00:34:51.320 doesn't like
00:34:51.980 his wife
00:34:52.560 it's impossible
00:34:53.640 for his brain
00:34:54.880 to understand
00:34:55.760 that
00:34:56.100 then Ryan
00:34:57.140 mentions
00:34:57.740 the PGA
00:34:59.060 letter
00:34:59.520 that I'm
00:34:59.940 going to
00:35:00.140 start talking
00:35:00.720 about
00:35:01.000 now
00:35:01.380 so
00:35:02.140 Blake
00:35:03.040 got
00:35:03.580 I think
00:35:04.260 he says
00:35:04.660 here
00:35:04.840 19
00:35:05.360 to write
00:35:06.200 19
00:35:06.760 of this
00:35:07.600 of people
00:35:08.120 working on
00:35:08.580 the movie
00:35:09.020 to write
00:35:09.980 to producers
00:35:10.540 Guilt of
00:35:11.000 America
00:35:11.280 to get
00:35:11.860 her
00:35:12.240 the mark
00:35:13.200 the stamp
00:35:14.100 so she's
00:35:15.100 a producer
00:35:15.560 of the movie
00:35:16.280 and that
00:35:17.160 is what
00:35:17.940 really
00:35:18.980 messes
00:35:19.860 up her
00:35:20.680 case
00:35:21.600 Blake
00:35:23.040 based
00:35:24.120 her
00:35:24.760 lawsuit
00:35:25.520 on the
00:35:26.080 fact that
00:35:26.600 she was
00:35:27.060 an employee
00:35:28.140 of this
00:35:29.960 movie
00:35:30.500 and that
00:35:31.340 gave her
00:35:32.040 the right
00:35:32.660 to sue
00:35:33.700 them
00:35:34.060 for
00:35:34.760 SH
00:35:35.560 and then
00:35:36.440 later
00:35:36.800 sue
00:35:37.260 them
00:35:37.480 for
00:35:37.800 retaliation
00:35:38.740 for coming
00:35:39.360 forward
00:35:40.100 with that
00:35:40.700 so
00:35:41.940 this
00:35:42.760 letter
00:35:43.340 to PGA
00:35:44.620 I mean
00:35:45.400 it's like
00:35:46.060 it's written
00:35:46.560 by a 12
00:35:47.360 year old
00:35:47.940 but and as
00:35:48.820 we've learned
00:35:49.240 right now
00:35:49.720 both Blake
00:35:50.380 and Ryan
00:35:50.920 just love
00:35:51.840 to write
00:35:52.560 they just
00:35:53.120 go on
00:35:53.860 and on
00:35:54.540 and on
00:35:55.280 and on
00:35:55.840 so I'm
00:35:56.180 not going
00:35:56.540 to read
00:35:56.820 this letter
00:35:57.360 and all
00:35:57.860 the other
00:35:58.320 attached
00:35:58.820 letters
00:35:59.300 but
00:36:00.220 this
00:36:01.560 letter
00:36:01.920 shows
00:36:02.500 that
00:36:03.100 Blake
00:36:03.620 Lively
00:36:04.180 was
00:36:05.220 responsible
00:36:05.880 for
00:36:06.380 basically
00:36:07.080 everything
00:36:08.420 on this
00:36:09.520 movie
00:36:10.080 in this
00:36:11.280 letter
00:36:11.680 she first
00:36:13.140 starts it
00:36:13.800 with like
00:36:14.580 some
00:36:14.780 case
00:36:15.040 saying
00:36:15.320 as
00:36:15.820 dear
00:36:16.040 producers
00:36:16.460 guilt
00:36:16.720 of
00:36:16.880 America
00:36:17.240 and blah
00:36:17.860 blah
00:36:18.040 blah
00:36:18.280 I'm
00:36:18.520 amazing
00:36:18.960 and especially
00:36:19.580 women
00:36:20.060 should get
00:36:20.500 credited
00:36:20.940 and then
00:36:21.960 she starts
00:36:22.480 listing
00:36:23.040 all the
00:36:23.760 things she's
00:36:24.220 done
00:36:24.480 in this
00:36:24.960 movie
00:36:25.180 first
00:36:25.900 development
00:36:26.500 in pre-production
00:36:27.440 and then
00:36:28.740 at the
00:36:29.000 production
00:36:29.480 and then
00:36:30.400 post-production
00:36:31.220 and then
00:36:32.240 marketing
00:36:32.740 and PR
00:36:33.360 I mean
00:36:34.480 it's
00:36:35.200 insane
00:36:36.400 but here
00:36:37.940 is the part
00:36:38.860 that's the
00:36:39.520 most interesting
00:36:40.240 she is saying
00:36:41.560 here
00:36:41.860 that she
00:36:43.020 was responsible
00:36:44.080 for HR
00:36:45.140 concerns
00:36:45.900 on the movie
00:36:46.600 this whole
00:36:47.940 conversation
00:36:48.740 that we had
00:36:49.900 about HR
00:36:51.340 and not being
00:36:52.040 any HR
00:36:52.780 while we
00:36:53.920 while all
00:36:54.960 along
00:36:55.320 Blake
00:36:55.760 Lively
00:36:56.260 was the
00:36:56.860 HR
00:36:57.220 person
00:36:57.900 according
00:36:58.380 to
00:36:58.660 herself
00:36:59.200 I was
00:37:00.220 listening
00:37:00.560 to a
00:37:01.000 lawyer
00:37:01.200 talking
00:37:01.640 about
00:37:01.920 this
00:37:02.160 this
00:37:02.340 morning
00:37:02.620 she's
00:37:03.000 called
00:37:03.220 not
00:37:03.420 actually
00:37:03.760 golden
00:37:04.180 I'm
00:37:04.480 sure
00:37:04.620 a lot
00:37:04.840 of you
00:37:05.020 follow
00:37:05.260 her
00:37:05.440 on
00:37:05.600 TikTok
00:37:05.840 and
00:37:06.560 she
00:37:06.820 was
00:37:07.040 pointing
00:37:07.400 out
00:37:07.640 here
00:37:07.860 that
00:37:08.120 if
00:37:08.860 we
00:37:09.180 had
00:37:09.520 seen
00:37:10.020 this
00:37:10.580 letter
00:37:11.000 when
00:37:11.560 that
00:37:11.800 New York
00:37:12.120 Times
00:37:12.420 article
00:37:12.760 was
00:37:13.020 published
00:37:13.480 things
00:37:14.260 would
00:37:14.480 have
00:37:14.600 looked
00:37:14.840 very
00:37:15.380 different
00:37:15.840 now
00:37:16.240 because
00:37:16.920 this
00:37:17.520 is
00:37:18.360 the
00:37:19.100 final nail
00:37:20.140 in the
00:37:20.500 coffin
00:37:20.880 for
00:37:21.200 Blake
00:37:21.560 Lively
00:37:21.980 it's
00:37:22.940 so
00:37:23.140 fascinating
00:37:23.740 to me
00:37:24.360 that
00:37:24.840 she
00:37:25.020 went
00:37:25.480 this
00:37:26.060 far
00:37:26.420 it's
00:37:26.640 taken
00:37:26.880 us
00:37:27.060 one
00:37:27.360 year
00:37:27.620 to
00:37:27.800 see
00:37:28.000 this
00:37:28.220 letter
00:37:28.540 which
00:37:29.300 is
00:37:29.660 obviously
00:37:30.120 going
00:37:30.840 to look
00:37:31.540 terrible
00:37:32.160 in that
00:37:33.020 hearing
00:37:33.460 on
00:37:33.720 Thursday
00:37:34.160 and
00:37:34.720 if
00:37:34.920 this
00:37:35.080 ever
00:37:35.320 goes
00:37:35.540 to
00:37:35.740 trial
00:37:36.240 I
00:37:37.020 mean
00:37:37.300 I
00:37:37.760 really
00:37:38.140 doubt
00:37:38.460 that
00:37:38.680 at
00:37:38.820 this
00:37:39.060 point
00:37:39.560 that
00:37:40.480 it
00:37:40.640 will
00:37:40.780 ever
00:37:40.980 go
00:37:41.160 to
00:37:41.340 trial
00:37:41.700 because
00:37:42.060 when
00:37:42.380 the
00:37:42.560 judge
00:37:42.880 you
00:37:43.300 know
00:37:43.420 he's
00:37:43.700 already
00:37:43.960 seen
00:37:44.340 this
00:37:44.540 and
00:37:44.700 he
00:37:44.860 wanted
00:37:45.220 us
00:37:45.580 to
00:37:45.760 see
00:37:46.000 it
00:37:46.160 as
00:37:46.320 well
00:37:46.640 yeah
00:37:47.120 anyway
00:37:47.420 I'm
00:37:47.620 not
00:37:47.800 going
00:37:47.900 to
00:37:47.960 go
00:37:48.100 more
00:37:48.440 into
00:37:48.720 this
00:37:48.940 maybe
00:37:49.140 I'll
00:37:49.260 do
00:37:49.400 that
00:37:49.580 in a
00:37:49.860 later
00:37:50.080 episode
00:37:50.500 I
00:37:50.720 just
00:37:50.940 wanted
00:37:51.140 to
00:37:51.340 mention
00:37:51.700 that
00:37:52.000 how
00:37:52.300 important
00:37:52.920 this
00:37:53.500 letter
00:37:53.760 actually
00:37:54.180 is
00:37:54.560 and
00:37:55.120 the
00:37:55.300 reason
00:37:55.700 why
00:37:56.200 Blake
00:37:56.620 obviously
00:37:57.340 didn't
00:37:58.380 want
00:37:58.940 this
00:37:59.480 unsealed
