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
00:00:44.300
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
00:00:54.720
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
00:01:09.220
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.
00:01:44.280
There's been more released from her deposition.
00:01:46.400
If you missed that episode, you should go and watch it.
00:01:50.500
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.
00:02:28.660
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.
00:02:42.700
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.
00:02:55.160
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
00:03:56.180
You know, he didn't show up in court with her when there was this hearing or when there
00:04:07.180
But anyways, let's look at what he said on stage.
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
00:04:55.120
And now the public's reaction to this is a dumb show.
0.96
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
00:06:31.640
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.
00:09:11.800
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

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
