Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Ryan SPEAKS OUT. The INTERNET is on FIRE !!

00:00:00.000 In the meantime, Blake is trying really hard to compare herself to Justin Bieber.

00:00:10.660 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, I'm Tjasti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:14.760 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. 0.99

00:00:18.600 Okay, if you haven't seen it yet, Ryan Reynolds was on the Today Show and said a lot of stupid things. 0.99

00:00:24.340 He said that he's more proud of his wife, Blake Lively, than ever before, 0.99

00:00:28.780 and that he doesn't know anyone with more integrity than his wife. 0.99

00:00:33.100 He said a lot of other stupid things too that I will get into in this episode. 0.99

00:00:37.040 And also, let's talk about how this has backfired on him tremendously already. 0.99

00:00:42.400 The internet is on fire.

00:00:44.300 There is not one single comment out there supporting Ryan Reynolds. 0.99

00:00:48.240 And this wasn't only a stupid move to go out like this publicly. 0.98

00:00:52.120 It also is a very risky move legally. 0.98

00:00:54.720 In the meantime, Blake is trying really hard to compare herself to Justin Bieber and how cruel the media and social media, the public, was to Justin Bieber. 0.94

00:01:06.820 I mean, this is more pathetic than ever. 0.88

00:01:09.220 She also posted a photo of herself on her Instagram. 0.94

00:01:13.240 I said, like, remember I said the other day that she will continue posting a lot now, coming up to trial, because she wants that statement that she did, that got that community note on.

00:01:22.880 She wants that to be pushed down on her Instagram grid so people can just forget about it.

00:01:28.560 And today she posted a throwback of herself dancing as a child.

00:01:32.120 So we can all be reminded of that she was just like us, filled with dreams and hopes and whatever.

00:01:38.300 Also, thank you for watching my episode that I did with Magnus yesterday.

00:01:41.800 We went through Blake's deposition.

00:01:44.280 There's been more released from her deposition.

00:01:46.400 If you missed that episode, you should go and watch it.

00:01:48.780 We were actually playing different parts.

00:01:50.500 Magnus was Blake Lively and I was Brian Friedman. Anyways I forgot to mention yesterday that that

00:01:55.840 part of Blake's deposition was actually filed by her attorneys. So they're planning to use that to

00:02:01.020 support Blake's narrative. I just don't understand how they can go to trial with a case like this

00:02:08.740 because her attorneys and her and all her witnesses are just going to be so ridiculed in that courtroom

00:02:15.340 and they're going to be eaten alive by the press and social media.

00:02:19.820 There are a lot of new filings that I want to go through this week as well.

00:02:23.080 So many things that are contradicting what Blake Lively has previously said.

00:02:27.000 Some more text messages.

00:02:28.660 Blake's own declaration of what really happened, which is also very interesting.

00:02:34.140 But let's talk about Blake and Ryan's latest moves today.

00:02:37.480 So as I said, Ryan went on the Today Show.

00:02:41.180 It was an event in New York.

00:02:42.700 I think it was in the beginning of last week, but they didn't release this interview until now.

00:02:48.100 I just watched it on YouTube and it has only like 7,000 views.

00:02:51.720 So people aren't really that interested.

00:02:53.540 So they don't go and watch it there.

00:02:55.160 I'm guessing people have seen this interview because they've heard other content creators or journalists talk about it.

00:03:01.320 Because, of course, the media has also picked this up.

00:03:04.340 It's so obvious to me that the journalist who interviewed Ryan here had made an agreement with him before this interview

00:03:10.500 that Ryan was going to talk a little bit about what's going on now in his life because of this

00:03:17.140 lawsuit and the journalist did a voiceover explaining what's happened in this case saying

00:03:22.820 that 10 out of Blake's 13 claims were tossed out but he made sure to mention it was only because

00:03:28.200 she wasn't an employee she was a contractor so this was obviously a completely biased piece

00:03:34.780 But anyways, it was interesting that Ryan finally decided to speak up for his wife.

00:03:43.560 The journalist also said here, by the way, that Ryan has been supporting his wife and

00:03:48.300 been by her side the whole time, which is something that we haven't really seen, except

00:03:53.180 that he liked some of her posts on Instagram.

00:03:56.180 You know, he didn't show up in court with her when there was this hearing or when there

00:04:00.100 was this meeting about settlement.

00:04:02.520 She showed up by herself.

00:04:04.200 So Ryan hasn't really been there by her side.

00:04:07.180 But anyways, let's look at what he said on stage.

00:04:10.860 My wife and kids are everything.

00:04:11.860 I mean, that's it. 0.98

00:04:13.220 You know, when we finally close our eyes to this mortal dumb show, 0.64

00:04:16.100 those are the ones that are going to matter, you know? 0.98

00:04:18.080 Yes, he said when we close our eyes to this mortal dumb show, 0.90

00:04:22.860 they are the ones that matter, talking about his family. 0.96

00:04:27.540 So he's basically calling all these media circus 0.97

00:04:31.480 and everything that's happening now, a mortal dumb show. 0.99

00:04:36.480 Well, as a reminder to Ryan, they're the ones who started this dumb show. 0.99

00:04:42.280 And now they have to pay the consequences for that. 0.95

00:04:45.120 And when she filed this lawsuit, it was a serious matter.

00:04:48.280 And Blake was the voice of all women speaking up about toxic work environment 0.67

00:04:52.900 and being S-aged in the workplace. 0.98

00:04:55.120 And now the public's reaction to this is a dumb show. 0.96

00:04:58.920 Anyways, he also said this. 0.93

00:05:01.480 you know, you really see kind of the illusion behind so much of this stuff, you know, digital

00:05:05.580 life versus real life. Really, without getting into too much, I'll just say I've never in my

00:05:09.220 life been more proud of my wife. People have no idea what's really going on, you know, and that's

00:05:14.080 a, and I've just never in my life been more proud of someone with that level of integrity that brings

00:05:18.020 that with them and carries that with them in everything that they do. Yes. So he's talking

00:05:21.260 about digital life versus real life. I think he's trying to emphasize what Blake Lively said in her

00:05:27.840 deposition that I read from yesterday, that they're all bots. You know, digital life is not

00:05:32.980 real people. They're just bots. There's just something that's happening online that has

00:05:37.940 nothing to do with them. In real life, they're very different people. But Ryan forgets that

00:05:44.560 we've seen all his text messages, all his cruel, mean, manipulative text messages that he sent

00:05:50.860 to people at Sony, threatening them to other people in the industry, talking bad about just

00:05:57.340 Baldoni behind his back we've seen all this stuff but anyways Ryan wants us to believe that we have

00:06:03.640 no idea what's going on there's been over 1300 filings on the docket with exhibits from Blake

00:06:11.260 herself and from Justin and Ryan say and Ryan is saying we don't know what's going on that's really

00:06:17.400 offensive that he's saying that that we don't know what's going on because we do know what's going on

00:06:22.640 We have seen all the exhibits, so we do know what's going on. 0.92

00:06:25.740 Even though we're just part of the dumb show, we still know. 0.94

00:06:29.660 And then he says he's proud of his wife. 0.96

00:06:31.640 He's so proud of his wife for filing this lawsuit,

00:06:35.180 where the only goal was to get a lot of money, by the way,

00:06:38.180 and to get her own reputation back by smearing someone else. 1.00

00:06:43.040 It wasn't just to build her own reputation again. 0.92

00:06:45.420 It was to get her own reputation back by ruining someone else's reputation.

00:06:50.740 and he's really proud that his wife did that and he was a part of it of course we know that

00:06:56.340 and he also said that he doesn't know anything anyone with more integrity and then he said that

00:07:01.460 they bring with them and carries that with them with everything that they do all of a sudden his

00:07:07.420 wife is plural I don't know why he's referring to Blake as they all of a sudden but he's saying

00:07:13.140 that Blake has his level of integrity what about what she's done has any integrity if Ryan is going

00:07:19.260 to get up on that stand and testify, these are things that can be used against him. The Wayfair

00:07:25.840 Party's attorneys can ask him a lot of questions about that. You know, how can you say that she

00:07:30.640 has integrity when she did, for example, this, asked all her co-stars to unfollow Justin Baldoni?

00:07:36.700 And how is it to have a lot of integrity when you're filing a sham lawsuit to get hold of

00:07:42.800 someone's phone and take their text messages and give to the press? How is that having any

00:07:47.860 integrity. Anyways, he's inserting himself into this lawsuit even further by saying these things,

00:07:53.820 especially things that, you know, they have no idea what's going on. Then he's tapping into that

00:07:58.680 same narrative that Blake Lively has been pushing lately, you know, that there's a separate world

00:08:03.900 there, the digital world, the evil digital world with so much digital violence against me. He is

00:08:10.920 agreeing with that narrative. And by saying that, he's just inviting more criticism because he's

00:08:17.480 undermining the public saying oh you don't know what's going on and the moment that he starts

00:08:22.360 making public statements like this he's part he is a bigger part of this lawsuit he's not just

00:08:27.780 the supportive husband you know i mean everything that ryan says now can be picked apart and used

00:08:32.700 against him if he gets on that stand it was very interesting i was watching elsie this morning if

00:08:38.720 you don't follow her you should else rich on youtube she said something really interesting

00:08:43.440 She said, I don't think Ryan is ever going to get on that stand.

00:08:48.520 But the reason for him to actually say that he will testify and get on the witness list

00:08:53.540 is because he knows that if you are a witness in a case like this,

00:08:58.580 you are not allowed in the courtroom until after you have testified.

00:09:02.760 So they can add Ryan in as a witness at the end of trial.

00:09:06.880 And that means he don't have to show up in court.

00:09:09.840 He's not allowed to show up in court.

00:09:11.800 doing the entire trial and that's what Ryan wants and then at the end of the trial they can say oh

00:09:18.400 we don't need Ryan anymore then he doesn't look like a non-supportive husband because he said I

00:09:23.820 did support my wife I did say that I could testify but I just never got the chance to get up on that

00:09:29.740 stand but I was with her every time every night she came home from the trial I was there supporting

00:09:36.640 her and I did like her Instagram posts. I think she's really onto something there. Ryan does not

00:09:42.180 want to risk anything more around his public image. Maybe that's why he went on this show

00:09:46.900 and talked about it because then her attorneys are saying oh you probably shouldn't have said

00:09:50.700 anything Ryan because now you're getting more and more dragged into this. This is not good for the

00:09:55.040 case and you're like oh I'm sorry maybe you shouldn't put me on that stand but you know I'll

00:09:59.740 be on that list anyways. I don't know let me know what you think about that. He also said in this

00:10:03.920 interview, by the way, that he's letting his three-year-old watch Deadpool. And then he said

00:10:09.560 something that he said before. I noticed he used the same wording. He said, yeah, dad of the year

00:10:14.660 over here. Remember he said that when he was making commentary from behind the scenes of

00:10:20.420 Deadpool versus Wolverine, when he was talking to Sean Levy, when he asked his then nine-year-old

00:10:28.340 daughter Enos to say something extremely inappropriate uh to his own character Deadpool

00:10:35.980 he also then said oh look I'm the dad of the year over here guy let's watch Deadpool Wolverine

00:10:41.720 oh does he really bye bye bye yeah oh he loves how old to see he's three uh yeah dad of the year

00:10:49.800 right here and then he talked about how he didn't know the gender of his son before he came out of

00:10:57.060 the old shoot. We never found out until they, you know, come out the old shoot.

00:11:03.000 I'd never call it that. Yes. So he's referring to his wife private part as the old shoot in public.

00:11:12.180 I mean, these are also things that Baldoni's attorneys can have a field day with. Like,

00:11:17.320 why do you talk about your wife's private parts in public? Do you think that's appropriate? 0.99

00:11:24.520 and I think especially also calling it the old shoot what woman out there wants someone want

00:11:30.600 your husband or your boyfriend or whatever to refer to your thing as the old shoot that is so

00:11:37.780 disrespectful anyways I heard also I think it was Billy Bush who just said that they that Blake

00:11:44.540 already spent 50 million dollars on this lawsuit can you imagine what 50 million dollars could do

00:11:53.280 for DV victims or for victims of digital violence so yeah talking about Blake let's look at what

00:12:00.640 she's been up to on social media this is the most absurd thing I've ever seen but before we get into

00:12:06.760 that I wanted to thank the sponsor of this video Momentus you know how everyone talks about energy

00:12:11.980 recovery performance and then immediately jumps to protein powder workouts and all that stuff but

00:12:17.600 what almost no one's talking about is gut health. And I didn't fully realize until recently that if

00:12:23.660 your gut isn't really dialed in, everything else you're doing just doesn't work the way it should.

00:12:28.840 Your energy dips, your digestion is off, even your focus and mood can feel inconsistent. And that's

00:12:34.700 where Momentous Fiber Plus comes in. Momentous Fiber Plus addresses one of the most overlooked

00:12:40.380 foundations of long-term performance, gut health. Fiber is not just about digestion. It is a key

00:12:48.160 driver of gut health, which directly impact nutrient absorption, energy, stability, recovery,

00:12:55.120 focus, mood, and overall performance. I am adding a few scoops of this in my smoothie every morning,

00:13:01.280 and it actually adds a nice flavor to it as well, which is not always the case with fiber products.

00:13:06.680 Momentous Fiber Plus is a complete three-in-one formula with soluble fiber, with insoluble fiber,

00:13:13.240 and a prebiotic resistant starch, so it supports your gut from start to finish. It helps digestion

00:13:20.660 and gives you a more stable energy throughout the day, so you avoid those spikes and crashes.

00:13:26.680 And like everything else Momentous makes, this is super clean, no artificial additives,

00:13:31.040 and it's independently tested for quality and safety. Right now, Momentous is offering my

00:13:35.840 viewers and my listeners 35% off their first order by using my code SHASHTI, K-J-E-R-S-T-I

00:13:51.640 Okay, so I don't know if Blake Lively was at Coachella this weekend or if she's just posting

00:13:57.160 about it because I haven't seen any photos of her being there, but she did post this story

00:14:03.100 that I was just like I was reading it I was like is Blake talking about herself here and then I

00:14:08.920 realized she is so she took a story from someone else who spoke about Justin Bieber and what

00:14:15.980 happened to him and how mean and unfair the backlash that he received from the media and

00:14:23.400 from social media in general during the time when he was just a teenager he was so young and he

00:14:29.280 couldn't be out there, you know, defending himself and really how cruel the internet can be.

00:14:36.220 So Blake put herself in Justin Bieber's shoes here. I mean, that's how I read this. Let me know

00:14:42.940 if you feel a different way. So she is acting this Django Degree, the guy who's talking about

00:14:49.920 Justin Bieber here. And she's saying, at Django Degree, with the most thoughtful breakdown of a

00:14:57.420 beautiful and intense criticized life in the public eye from childhood to adulthood. So many

00:15:05.060 people we loved have been hurt and never come back to themselves. We watch it happen every time

00:15:10.680 and the collective looks back when it's too late with empathy that was missing at the time. It's so

00:15:18.020 clear to me that she's talking about herself here, that she thinks when we look back at this and how

00:15:23.600 the backlash was against her that we will all feel terrible because of course it was just the

00:15:30.200 bots telling us what to believe and then she's saying the collective will look back with empathy

00:15:35.620 that was missing at the time shocked everyone treated someone's most painful days as entertainment

00:15:42.420 definitely talking about herself but that isn't behind us it happens daily yes still talking about

00:15:49.800 herself or other people who's been victims of digital violence because she's not saying I

00:15:55.860 here she's just saying that it's happening to all of us again underlining that narrative that she's

00:16:03.100 here for all of us she's talking for everyone but that isn't behind us it happens daily it makes

00:16:08.660 money it gets clicks followers virality yes yes it does get viral sometimes if an actress is really

00:16:17.960 rude to a reporter people will react to it and it will go viral organically anyways then she says

00:16:24.640 the collective often unintentionally so she's not blaming it on you guys it's unintentionally you

00:16:31.220 just don't know better the collective often unintentionally ravaging the health of an

00:16:37.620 entertainer because everyone feels a right to them for being in the public eye and then she says

00:16:43.320 seeing Lil Bieber meet that with healing was stunning. There were many incredible performances

00:16:51.880 for different reasons, jaw-dropping in their own rights. What a beautiful time to witness the

00:16:56.360 different works and most importantly, the humanity of these artists. I guess she was at Coachella.

00:17:04.040 I don't know what that last thing was. She's talking about other entertainers. She's trying

00:17:08.240 to lift other people up here and talk for everyone. I mean let me know what you think about that. Do

00:17:14.420 you think that Blake actually here was trying to was trying to make a parallel between what's

00:17:20.980 happening to her right now and what's been happening to Justin Bieber and how he spiraled

00:17:26.120 out of control and it could happen to her too and then it might be too late so we should all get

00:17:31.520 together right now and be supportive of her and then what does she do? She posts a picture of

00:17:36.420 herself. I guess she's performing here as a Spice Girl because she added Spice Girl music to this

00:17:42.260 photo of herself being like, I don't know, 11, 12 years old on a stage. And it says the closest

00:17:49.040 I'll ever get to headlining Coachella. I've always served with the shoes though. I don't know if this

00:17:54.240 is another reference to Justin Bieber that she was also young and she's still that innocent girl

00:17:59.180 inside that she was on that stage. And she was filled with dreams and hopes. And now her and now

00:18:05.960 her life is a mess and I guess this nostalgia is just going to remind people you know that were

00:18:12.100 fans of her to begin with I'm still this person I'm relatable I'm just like you I was just on that

00:18:19.100 stage as a kid as well having dreams just like you yeah she's reminding everyone that she's a

00:18:25.340 whole person she's not just this controversy her favorite thing during interviews I remember every

00:18:31.520 interview that I've seen with her, she's always saying that two things can be true at the same

00:18:36.640 time. And I guess that's one of these moments when she's reminding everyone that she has experienced

00:18:41.920 real physical pain from this retaliation campaign. Yeah. And at the same time, she wants to just let

00:18:48.560 the public know that I'm living my life. This is not something that I'm consumed with at all times.

00:18:54.740 It's a classic celebrity tactic when you're in a crisis. So I feel every move that they both do

00:18:59.880 right now it's so predictable and it's really interesting to sit on the sideline and watch

00:19:05.740 all of this go down and then the rest of this week I will go through some of the new stuff

00:19:10.140 that's been filed as well I just wanted to mention all of this stuff today because I find it very

00:19:14.520 interesting yeah it's interesting now to see their strategy now before they go to trial that

00:19:19.360 they're trying to make themselves look more relatable and Blake wants us to see her as more

00:19:24.740 vulnerable. And of course, they're a loving husband and wife, and they keep reminding us

00:19:29.520 that they have four children as well. Anyways, that's it for me today, you guys. I hope you

00:19:34.840 enjoyed this episode. Thank you so much for watching. And if you haven't subscribed yet,
