Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - TAYLOR SPEAKS OUT !!

00:00:00.000 Taylor Swift has responded, she is not happy.

00:00:09.760 Hi y'all, welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Kersti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and

00:00:14.800 your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. So Taylor Swift has responded,

00:00:22.600 she is not happy. You got to hear this. Also, let's look at those text messages between

00:00:29.360 Jenny Slate and Blake Lively. It almost seems like they planned this exchange to use it as

00:00:36.600 evidence later. Also, now we know the real truth behind one of those hit pieces on Justin Baldoni

00:00:44.040 because Blake Lively just admitted in this text message that he never said what they planted in

00:00:51.920 the media. This is actually pretty big. And we have to talk about why Jenny Slate and Blake Lively

00:00:58.960 brought Britney Spears into this and how they were leading on Justin to make he seem inappropriate.

00:01:07.060 This is such BS. And it was Justin Baldoni's birthday this weekend. He got a lot of congratulations from

00:01:14.700 his friends, from his family. He got the most heartbreaking congratulations and message from

00:01:20.840 his mom and dad, which I will read at the end of this episode. We also now know that Justin Baldoni

00:01:25.920 has real friends. Because I remember what happened on Blake Lively's birthday. She reposted on her story

00:01:32.480 everyone who said congratulations to her. And we all realized they were all on her payroll. How sad.

00:01:40.740 And again, a huge thank you to all the internet sleuths out there. And I want to again mention this

00:01:45.460 website, docketupdates.com. It's amazing. Everything is posted there. So sometimes if you're wondering who is

00:01:53.080 who or if you're not following what I'm saying, you can go on that website. It's really easy to

00:01:58.760 maneuver and you'll find everything that you're looking for. Also, I promise to mention this so

00:02:04.540 many times to people. There is a petition to get Blake Lively's PGA mark removed. A lot of people,

00:02:11.820 including me, actually think that she did not deserve her Producer's Guilt of America mark

00:02:16.760 on the movie It Ends With Us. And I think now it has over 9,000 signatures. So I will leave a link

00:02:23.420 to that below as well if you are interested in that. Okay, let's get into it. So this story just hit

00:02:30.120 with Taylor Swift reacting to everything that's happened. So let's see how her publicists are

00:02:37.500 explaining what went on here behind the scenes. So Us Weekly is saying how Taylor Swift feels

00:02:45.660 after text with Blake Lively were unsealed in It Ends With Us lawsuits. Exclusive sources they're

00:02:52.560 saying here. By the way, I just finished reading all the text messages from Leslie Sloan, Blake Lively's

00:02:58.160 publicist, to all these media outlets. I will go through those in another episode. But I was floored

00:03:05.160 by how much power these publicists have over journalists. They're basically allowed to design 0.78

00:03:11.680 an entire article and the headline of an article. You won't believe all that stuff. But as I said,

00:03:17.660 I'll get back to that in another episode. I just wanted to mention that because now every time I see

00:03:22.560 an article that's favoring the person they're writing about, I'm like, this is very suspicious.

00:03:28.920 Anyways, there is a source here or two sources from Taylor Swift's camp. It might be just one and

00:03:34.320 they asked them to say, hey, let's say it's two sources. That's also stuff that they do actually.

00:03:38.960 But it says here that Taylor has been navigating a trying time after her private text messages with

00:03:44.780 Blake Lively were released amid the actress' ongoing legal battle. It's honestly been really

00:03:52.120 hard for Taylor. One source exclusively tells us having her texts out there made her feel exposed 0.98

00:03:59.900 and kind of violated, like something private suddenly wasn't hers anymore. That doesn't sit well with her.

00:04:07.420 Obviously, this doesn't sit well with anyone and she's not the only A-lister that Blake Lively has

00:04:13.700 exposed. I'm sure that all the other ones, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Anna Wintour, who I spoke about

00:04:21.160 yesterday, even Jenny Slade, Isabella Ferrer, Brandon Sklenor, Colin Hoover, all these people that got

00:04:29.320 their text messages, their private text messages exposed because of Blake are not happy about it. I can

00:04:36.600 promise you that 100%. Anyways, the insider continues to say that Swift wasn't trying to get involved in

00:04:44.400 the legal battle. She just wanted to become, she just wanted to be a supportive friend. I would have

00:04:51.460 bought this narrative if it wasn't for that conversation Taylor had with Ryan and Blake after

00:04:58.600 the New York Times article came out when she was celebrating with them. She was celebrating also

00:05:04.660 that Justin was fired from WME. Taylor actually forwarded that article to Blake and Ryan. So if it

00:05:13.520 was only about that situation where Blake asked her, hey, as a friend, could you come up to my penthouse

00:05:20.360 now and tell Justin that you like my cuts of, or you like my version of the rooftop scene? I can see

00:05:27.700 you can do that for a friend and she didn't know anything or didn't know much about Justin at that

00:05:32.900 time. If it had ended there, fine, but it didn't. And that's why Taylor knew what she was getting

00:05:40.920 herself into here. But the source says that Taylor wasn't trying to get involved or make anything

00:05:45.260 bigger. She was just supporting Blake as a friend in that she thought was a private moment. Now it's

00:05:51.540 turned into the whole thing that she didn't ask for. So I think, as I said before, after Justin

00:05:59.640 Baldoni sued Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and New York Times and Leslie Sloan back and Taylor got

00:06:06.060 dragged into it, that's when Taylor said to Blake, our friendship is done. You brought me into this. I

00:06:12.700 don't want to be here. But then again, she's been a really close friend of Blake Lively for a long

00:06:18.040 time. If she didn't realize what kind of person she was until that moment, I mean, we've all seen it.

00:06:25.280 I mean, it's not like a surprise that people didn't like Blake Lively. Everyone that's worked with her

00:06:31.080 that contacted me and told me their experiences with her said that, you know, it was horrible. So if it is

00:06:37.100 a really big surprise to Taylor that Blake is like that, I don't necessarily buy that.

00:06:42.300 A second insider says here that meanwhile, Swift is obviously not happy that her messages were

00:06:50.560 released and she was dragged into the drama. Even though she was sending Blake messages and went to

00:06:55.700 the apartment, she wasn't involved in creating a master plan to take anyone down. The second source

00:07:02.540 tells us she was being supportive of her friend and that's it. Just as any friend would do. So they're

00:07:10.100 saying, yeah, if you're a good friend, you would do it too. Not necessarily, but I do give her the

00:07:16.140 benefit of the doubt the first time, as I said, but not after she showed so much schadenfreude

00:07:20.780 when Justin was taken down in that New York Times article. That's when I was like, no, no, no, no,

00:07:26.200 no. Now you're not just a friend and a bystander anymore. Sorry. And at the end of this article,

00:07:31.200 they remind us of Taylor Swift's statement when she was dragged into this. She said back then,

00:07:38.580 which was in 2025, I think in January, one of her spokespeople said to the media that Taylor Swift

00:07:45.360 never sets foot on the set of this movie. That's true. Probably she was never on the set. She was

00:07:51.720 not involved in any casting or creative decisions. Not necessarily. According to Isabella Ferrer,

00:07:57.640 Taylor Swift played a part in her actually getting the role. I hear that Taylor may have had some

00:08:03.200 influence in getting the role. Yes, she did. Yeah, I know. I don't even know if I'm meant to be saying

00:08:07.180 it, but I'm saying it. Yeah, she was a helpful part of the process of the audition, which I found out

00:08:12.920 later after I got it and that rocked my world. And also creative decisions. I would say that when

00:08:19.080 she's pushing for Blake and Ryan's version or Ryan's version of that rooftop scene, that is a creative

00:08:26.180 decision. Anyways, why did Blake want that rooftop scene so badly? It's in every text message. Why was

00:08:33.620 it so important for her to have Ryan's version of that scene in the movie? And as I said a million

00:08:39.780 times, that scene is awful. And big secret here, you guys, that I just heard from an insider. It was also

00:08:47.860 known from focus groups that the audience liked Justin Baldoni's acting more than Blake Lively's.

00:08:57.940 I just got that information from someone who's very close to this situation. And they told me

00:09:04.020 that the audience liked Justin's performance better than Blake's and that really infuriated her.

00:09:12.080 That's something that we haven't seen in any of these exchanges yet, but I'm sure it's going to

00:09:17.340 come to light at some point. But now, you know, sorry, that was a diversion there. Anyways, the

00:09:22.600 statement continued to say that Taylor was never, never saw an edit or made any notes on the film.

00:09:27.980 We just saw that Blake sent her the trailer and asked her for notes on it. And she also asked her

00:09:33.600 for notes on that scene. So basically not true. It also said in that message I shared yesterday

00:09:38.720 that Taylor had even read the book. And here it says that she, Taylor, didn't even see it ends with

00:09:45.860 us until weeks after its public release and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 24,

00:09:52.600 headlining the biggest tour in history. Anyways, I'm sure Blake shared a link with her so she could

00:10:00.020 watch the movie. She was doing that to everyone. So I don't believe this. I'm sorry. And the statement

00:10:06.400 also continued to say the connection Taylor had to this film was permitting to use her one song,

00:10:12.480 My Tears Ricochet. Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other

00:10:18.100 artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift's name to draw public

00:10:24.740 interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case. Well, now we know

00:10:31.600 that's not really true. Anyways, let's get to the text messages between Jenny Slate and Blake Lively.

00:10:37.720 I discovered a few things in this text where I was like, whoa, this is really a bombshell. So the two

00:10:45.920 of them had this long conversation together. When I first read it, I was like, this looks so suspicious

00:10:50.780 to me. People or friends don't talk to each other like this. Everything is so carefully framed here

00:10:58.400 and they keep repeating these phrases like we need more leadership and professionalism

00:11:04.740 and boundaries. And they keep correcting and editing messages afterwards to make sure

00:11:11.220 they are like perfectly written, which also I think is a bit suspicious here. Yeah. Let me know what

00:11:17.940 you think after I've read this. If you feel like these texts are designed for someone to read

00:11:26.040 afterwards. Also, I did discover a major thing, as I said in the beginning of this episode,

00:11:32.940 when I started reading these texts, that the thing that they accused Justin of, that the media picked

00:11:39.920 up everywhere after he released a video from a bar scene when they were all wearing their onesies.

00:11:48.180 And he said to Blake that, oh, you were going for the sexy look. And she was like, no, I wasn't.

00:11:53.840 And then he said, oh, I guess I missed the HR training. That didn't happen. Blake is talking

00:12:00.040 about it here. I think this is really serious because so many media outlets were fed this lie

00:12:06.200 by her team. And no one could ever hear him say that in the video.

00:12:11.900 But they still published the fact that he actually said it. And they said, yes, we can hear it. I could

00:12:26.920 never hear it. And I listened to that video so many times. I'll get more into that. First, let's hear

00:12:32.580 what Blake and Jenny are talking about here. So here, Jenny starts off saying like, hi, I hope you're

00:12:37.960 feeling better. And that little baby is also doing okay. My manager spoke to Ange, Ange Gianetti

00:12:43.460 from Sony and went through the general points of the unprofessional behavior and the feeling that I

00:12:50.120 have that this is affecting the work. She said, Ange wants to speak with me too, which I'm happy to do.

00:12:57.140 I did end up telling my manager the whole deal, the whole deal, which was that he said that her

00:13:02.640 pants were sexy. Like just all of the weird stuff Justin and Jamie have pulled. But now I'm hoping

00:13:08.960 that wasn't an overstep. And I actually don't know how deep she went into the details. I'm going to

00:13:14.920 speak with Alex tomorrow, the producer that was very team Blake here that we've seen in her

00:13:20.000 deposition and text messages. She's the one who said that Justin was angry at set ones and slapped

00:13:26.120 his hand on a chair. Anyways, I'm going to speak to Alex tomorrow. And I'm going to tell her about my

00:13:31.420 own discomfort and feelings of being pretty unsettled and certainly distracted from my own work. That

00:13:38.040 said, if you don't want me to, I don't need to. I don't want to make anything harder on you. And if

00:13:44.040 you're ever just wanting to take a moment to see how it feels when we're back on set, I get that. And

00:13:50.740 then she sends another text saying, sorry for the literal novel. This last text is very long. Doesn't

00:13:56.720 that sound a little weird to you? That whole text? It is so formal and it doesn't make that much sense

00:14:02.600 to me that she would write that to Blake at this point. Blake responds, all good. I think it's great

00:14:08.100 she spoke to Ange because I haven't spoken to Justin and Jamie or Alex about the inappropriate

00:14:13.080 behavior yet. You can just speak to what you've witnessed and experienced. I told Ange, but I asked

00:14:18.900 her not to mention so that I could personally tackle. Since I have to try to salvage some degree of

00:14:24.920 chemistry and camaraderie with Justin, who's not only my director, but love interest. And we're not

00:14:30.860 even one third of the way done. Jenny responds, oh, totally get that. I'll keep it with me. My

00:14:37.600 concerns about me needing leadership, the remark about my wardrobe, but I'll just keep it with me.

00:14:44.320 It's more to let her know that I'm uneasy and that I don't want it to get worse. And how freaked out

00:14:50.720 that recording stitch made me feel? They're adding all the things in here that they accused him of

00:14:57.920 later. So Justin has admitted that he recorded a Zoom meeting with the two of them. It's so funny

00:15:04.320 to me that that's a surprise. When you are on Zoom and someone records you, it says recording and then

00:15:10.860 you see this red dot. So Zoom meetings are recorded all the time. He probably should have told them

00:15:16.320 beforehand. Which was a mistake, but it's not a crime. Blake responds, but whatever you felt or seen

00:15:22.260 a hundred percent feel free, please. I just think there needs to be some leadership. Again, she's

00:15:28.820 mentioning leadership from this toxic work environment. I mean, even him recording our

00:15:34.400 conversation on his phone without asking us first. So Blake repeats the same thing here. It's alarming

00:15:41.860 behavior. Leadership big time. One more time she's saying that. You were standing there for the thing

00:15:48.680 he said to me when I said I look hot. So she's reminding Jenny. It's like those Netflix movies when

00:15:54.640 they overemphasize everything because they think you're stupid. And when the wife is saying to her 1.00

00:15:59.280 husband, hey Mike, we've been married for 12 years and we have two kids together. Like he doesn't know

00:16:04.720 that. But let's get back to this message when they're talking about that scene in the bar that we have the

00:16:09.780 video for. And Blake is saying, you were standing there for the thing he said to me when he said I

00:16:16.340 look hot. I said, that's not what I'm going for. And he said, okay, sexy. Justin actually said that

00:16:24.660 when you're wearing this big coat, you are going to be hot. It's hot in here. He didn't actually say

00:16:31.080 to Blake she was hot. She was wearing a onesie and a coat on top of that. And he might have said that,

00:16:37.280 okay, you were going for sexy then. It was a fleece onesie. Anyways, then she says this. 0.52

00:16:44.400 And then made a joke once he asked if he crossed a line. And I said, yes, that he must have missed

00:16:53.980 the SH meeting. Remember all those headlines saying that Justin made that joke that he missed the HR

00:17:06.040 our meeting, TMZ, People Magazine, New York Post. They planted this story everywhere. And all these

00:17:14.560 reporters pretended that they had heard what he said and no one could hear it. I tried to listen to this

00:17:21.580 tape so many times and I could not see that Justin were saying those things. And now we know he didn't.

00:17:28.840 Blake said that. Blake said, oh, I guess you missed that meeting. Justin never did. So they planted this

00:17:37.240 lie and the media ate it up. Then she's mentioning another thing that she felt uncomfortable with. This

00:17:44.780 is why I think this whole text that's Jane is so planned. They had notes what they were going to

00:17:50.640 write in these text messages. Then this is so ridiculous, by the way. Then Blake says, and then later 0.85

00:17:56.720 when you said you used to stare at Britney Spears midsection for hours before you finished and said

00:18:02.060 what an athlete she was and how remarkable she seemed as a young girl, he jumped in and said same

00:18:09.100 and giggled. But then I rolled when we just looked at him. So Justin also used to stare at Britney Spears

00:18:18.080 midsection. Who didn't? And now they're trying to make him look bad. And she was the one who said it.

00:18:25.240 And he agreed. But when he agrees with anything they say, as you will learn later on in this text

00:18:30.120 exchange too, then he's the bad guy. And the sick thing here is that the media picked this up and

00:18:38.300 made Justin look like a creep. Look at this Daily Mail article. Justin Baldoni's creepy Britney Spears

00:18:46.020 comments exposed in Blake Lively and co-star Jenny Slate's unsealed texts. Really? That was creepy that he

00:18:54.460 said he also used to stare at her midsection when he was younger. I mean... And now I'm wondering if

00:19:01.800 Blake Lively actually wore that Britney Spears dress that she talked about so much on the premiere of

00:19:08.040 It Ends With Us, if she wore that to take a dig at Justin. Because she was saying to everyone that

00:19:15.340 this is Britney Spears dress and look at me. And now I'm thinking maybe she just wore that as a 1.00

00:19:22.200 dig at him. Because he agreed that he also stared at her midsection. Why isn't Jenny Slate creepy for 0.99

00:19:28.340 doing that? This is Britney's Versace dress. 2002, the butterfly dress. And this dress meant so much

00:19:35.480 to me. Oh my god, my husband's getting soaking wet in the rain. It meant so much to me because of what

00:19:40.460 she meant to me. Like she was just somebody who represented love and beauty and youth and hard

00:19:45.760 work and determination and strength. And she was in touch with her sexuality and her delicacy. And

00:19:49.020 she just sort of represented it all. And, you know... Blake continues to say,

00:19:53.480 etc., etc. It's just all too fast and loose. And then she edits that. It's just all too fast and

00:20:01.360 loose. It looks like she didn't edit much there anyways. And then she edits again. We were standing

00:20:07.540 there for the thing he said to me when he said I look hot. So she keeps editing text messages if

00:20:13.480 there's a little spelling mistake or something like that. Which is also why I believe that they

00:20:17.500 wanted this printed, this conversation. This was planned. And Jenny Slate says,

00:20:21.500 Yes, exactly. Those are two perfect examples. The first one, an example of a total overstep,

00:20:28.560 an unwanted comment. The second is just a great example of how now I just feel inclined to shut

00:20:35.560 down because I don't want to invite any other comments from him. It's just gross and stupid. 1.00

00:20:41.640 It's like they're writing this to an attorney. And then Jenny continues in another text saying, 1.00

00:20:46.840 I'll let you know how it goes. I want her to know that I just don't want my work to suffer

00:20:51.160 and don't want to feel weird. I'm going to meet her at noon. I think face-to-face is best.

00:20:57.160 I like normal face-to-face convos, but I also want her to understand that while I want

00:21:01.720 to voice concerns, I also just don't, I also want to be able to finish out my work and not make it

00:21:07.220 awkward. I think it's best to let her know. But again, if you feel like it's too much,

00:21:12.900 I don't need to say anything except feelings about the recording incident and my anxiety about the

00:21:17.800 WGA stuff, Writers Guilds of America stuff, because there's going to be a strike at this

00:21:23.360 point. And then Jenny continues to say, I'm running through my head now. All of the things that I've

00:21:28.800 said that I should have said, like maybe I somehow opened the door. I can certainly run, run blue in

00:21:34.380 my own comments about my own life. And I now wish I just didn't say anything. I'm going to try to snooze

00:21:39.520 now, but let me know if there's anything else you're thinking. And then Blake says, it's a

00:21:45.080 culmination. The difference is if someone said something to one of us, if we made them

00:21:50.160 uncomfortable, neither of us would behave the way he does after. That's what's odd. So it's not what

00:21:57.800 he's saying. It's the way he behaves. If he does like, oh, that's what is awkward here or odd or

00:22:04.400 whatever. He keeps referencing it or disconnects entirely or gets snippy or impatient as a director.

00:22:11.620 So it's about how he reacts to what they're saying that they're now criticizing. Especially

00:22:17.840 if you've seen how Blake are talking to people, how she speaks to journalists. I find this really

00:22:23.380 interesting that she's saying that. And then she continues, he was so huffy after the sexy thing.

00:22:28.860 I felt awful for saying something. Blake continues here saying, it's that on top of a Jamie being a

00:22:34.960 total goof with no boundaries or respect for the work. He treats set like a barbecue.

00:22:41.740 She continues, what you said, though, is very self-aware. Neither of us are people who can't

00:22:47.180 take a joke or who can't work or understand blue. We're not fragile. You just can't record people

00:22:55.780 without asking. You can't speak to people sexually. You can't speak to people inappropriately while not

00:23:01.620 in character or while talking about the character. You can never say anything, basically. And if you

00:23:08.800 overstep, you move on. It's the weirdness after that makes it feel bad. Like we, like if we speak

00:23:15.960 up, the vibes on set get funky and the work suffers. So it's really taking a toll on Blake's

00:23:23.200 acting here. And again, we have to remind ourselves here of what actually Blake Lively sued Justin for.

00:23:29.440 She didn't sue him for weirdness or awkwardness. Okay. That's not illegal to be weird or awkward.

00:23:37.300 Blake continues, it's also fragile. I don't need to be. Just focus on the work and let's have a good

00:23:42.520 time. It doesn't need to be funky. We're not the fragile ones. Remember that she keeps saying,

00:23:47.980 we're not fragile. It's not us. It's them. And then Blake brings up the Airbnb situation. I think

00:23:54.400 it's important you mentioned the Airbnb situation, how Jamie made you feel after. Also the second

00:23:59.720 rate citizen thing. It's also so messy and unnecessary. Like let's just focus on the work.

00:24:06.600 They think you spooked about the WGA and improvising, et cetera. I don't know what she's

00:24:11.160 talking about there. They don't see it. It's their behavior, not the work. The work is the best part

00:24:17.480 when we actually get to do it well. They're going to seize up and only do the script if they think the

00:24:22.420 issue is the WGA. They think it's the strike that's freaking you out because you've said that

00:24:27.860 before. You know, they did shoot just 10 days of the movie before the strike. And then that lasted

00:24:34.680 for over six months, as far as I remember. And then they got back on the set again and then nothing

00:24:38.800 happened. And this is really good because now Jenny realized that she said something truly

00:24:45.820 inappropriate. And she is now trying to take that back. And she's saying to Blake, I truly am so sorry

00:24:55.040 that I made that remark about our tiny bedroom in our shitty Airbnb. I think back on it now referencing 0.56

00:25:02.600 that it was bad for, and I can't say that word, and just realizing that that is way inappropriate

00:25:09.820 to say. So she said that to Justin or to Jamie. And I hope that you know that I know that it wasn't

00:25:16.760 the setting for that kind of remark. And also now knowing that you guys sleep as a family. So Blake

00:25:23.260 actually admitted to her that she sleeps with all her four children in their bed. Okay, whatever. 0.64

00:25:30.780 It must have just seemed like such a bummer judgment. I'm so sorry. I definitely have no judgment

00:25:36.940 on it. But I'm sure it seemed that way. We, our bed is just what works for me. Not at all trying to say

00:25:44.760 it's what we should all be doing. Wish I had not said that. And as you say, we move on. But I do want

00:25:51.480 you to know that I remember it and regret it. So sorry if I made you feel upset. And remember Blake said,

00:25:58.260 we are not fragile. Yeah, right. Oh my gosh, Blake says, no worries at all. I mean, at all.

00:26:06.940 At all. You do not need to revisit anything that's been said. That is so generous of you to say this,

00:26:13.620 but so not necessary. Please don't stress about it. Any of it. The truth is dynamics. The truth is,

00:26:20.740 and here it comes, dynamics are different with women and men. And there is a safety with women

00:26:26.620 that there isn't with men. So she's saying, Jenny, you can say and do whatever you want because you're a

00:26:34.020 woman. And then she says, also, they had screwed you on your living situation and you had to ask for 0.96

00:26:40.300 something better. So casually making a joke about, yeah, what you do in bed was likely a suspicious way

00:26:47.220 to playing to your audience. If the guy who could authorize moving could empathize, then you and your

00:26:54.880 family would be out of there. It all tracks. Also in the moment, it actually wasn't you that was

00:27:02.140 strange. It was JB, Justin. You didn't know we all sleep in bed together. He did. And when you said

00:27:10.360 that, he said, oh yeah, terrible for what you do in bed. It was so odd that he said that instead of just

00:27:16.720 laughing like I did. So now they're saying because Justin agreed with Jenny when she said it was

00:27:25.620 terrible, then it's him. It's funny that she hasn't actually sued him for this as well. And then Blake

00:27:34.220 says, he's always trying to be liked. And so joining makes sense for him. But it was all still, but it was

00:27:40.180 still something I clocked on his part. So Blake said, I was just laughing at it, which is the

00:27:46.720 appropriate way to respond to something like that. But then when Justin vocally agreed with you,

00:27:55.200 that's not, that's not okay. And she's also saying here, because I know we all sleep in the same bed,

00:28:00.140 obviously, and he knows. So she told Justin that her whole family sleeps in the same bed.

00:28:06.300 Isn't that inappropriate? Especially considering her own boundaries here. I think that's really

00:28:13.360 overstepping Blake, that you told him this intimate information about how you and Ryan and your

00:28:19.500 children sleep together. And she said, I almost made a joke about what you do instead as a workaround,

00:28:25.960 but I thought, no, that only not appropriate, but not relevant. And he's the only one who would even

00:28:32.920 know why I'm saying that. And he doesn't deserve my casual defensiveness. Then Jenny Slate says,

00:28:41.360 blah, I've been shaking my head about it all morning. I guess I was just trying to make

00:28:47.060 like some sort of joke, sort of at my own expense. But yes, I think you're right that

00:28:53.380 supplementally, it was a message. There's no way to get an Airbnb in these neighborhoods for the amount

00:28:59.040 of money that they allotted me. But then when you share that you guys do a family bed,

00:29:04.920 my heart just sank. It's a huge lesson learned on my part. And thank you for being so forgiving and

00:29:10.940 understanding. And Justin is so weird for jumping on that joke. If he knew anything about your family

00:29:16.520 dynamic, he's so volatile and desperate. So now she's saying because Justin agreed with her joke,

00:29:23.940 and he knew Blake Lively's sleeping situation with her family, he should not have laughed about her

00:29:30.900 joke. And I have to point out another thing here. How submissive is Jenny Slate to Blake Lively? 1.00

00:29:37.860 She's like, yes, queen, yes, queen. And I said this, is this okay with you? She's like, I'll do anything

00:29:42.700 for you. You are my queen. Just tell me what to say. And I'll take all the responsibility for these

00:29:47.740 things. But the way they're twisting things in this conversation is shocking. And then there is an

00:29:54.100 edit by Jenny Slate for this message when she's correcting things that she said here. Then she

00:30:00.640 says, I sat down with Alex, who was very open with her about all the stuff. Jamie's initial comments,

00:30:07.040 Justin's recording and his later comments about his fussy attitude. My feelings that the work is really

00:30:13.860 suffering and that as an actual feminist, so she's an actual feminist. I'm concerned and offended by 0.99

00:30:22.720 the way he's so far, far off the mark. I told her that I really just wanted her to be aware and that

00:30:29.780 things just really need to become way more professional. There's that word again. And she agreed

00:30:36.820 on all. We know there's a meeting between Alex Sachs and Jenny Slate because Alex Sachs has talked

00:30:45.020 about this in her testimony that they had this very serious meeting. I bet Jenny Slate didn't tell her

00:30:51.060 about her comments about that bed in the Airbnb, by the way. And then Blake ends it here saying,

00:30:57.780 amazing. Do you feel good? So sorry you're dealing with any of this. This is not what movie making

00:31:03.980 should be. So Jenny is saying here, I'm a real feminist because I collude with other women 1.00

00:31:12.620 behind men's backs. Is that why a real feminist is? I mean, I'm so upset with all these people coming 0.96

00:31:18.920 out saying that, oh, you're not a feminist if you don't support all women. It's just BS. And it really

00:31:25.140 upsets me because that's not at all what feminism is about. Anyways, I wanted to end this by reading

00:31:31.100 what Justin Baldoni's mom and dad said to him on Instagram for his birthday. I thought this was so

00:31:38.220 beautiful. So his mom Sharon wrote, I always knew that one day I would have a child and if he was a

00:31:45.400 boy, I would name him Justin. After the quote below from the Baha'u writings, he has memorized this quote

00:31:52.220 and it is a part of his being. But I never imagined I would see the words justice for Justin from all

00:32:00.400 people, from people all over the world in support of my son. I thank you all from the death of my soul

00:32:08.800 to those who have championed him to this point in these difficult times. And then she's quoting

00:32:15.620 something from the Baha'i faith. Also, Justin's dad went on Instagram and shared this photo from when

00:32:22.940 Justin was a baby. What a beautiful family, by the way. He's saying that happy birthday, Justin

00:32:28.220 Luis Baldoni. And then he's talking about how it was difficult for his mom to give birth to him.

00:32:34.640 But in the middle here, he's saying, I'm so proud of my son for the man he has become and how he never

00:32:38.940 stops learning about life, about love, about family and friendship and about how to show up for the

00:32:43.980 people he cares about most. I envy his continual dedication to his family and his love and

00:32:50.980 admiration for his truly perfect partner, Emily, my dearly loved daughter in love. Son, in a year full

00:32:59.320 of turmoil and injustice, you have remained steadfast in your faith, knowing that truth and justice will

00:33:05.940 prevail. Happy birthday, son. I love you with all my heart and soul. I was so emotional when I saw

00:33:13.100 these messages from his parents. I can't imagine how difficult this has been for them. Can you imagine

00:33:20.680 for his mom having to read these headlines about her son? It's been going on for over a year now, two

00:33:28.260 years almost. I mean, I feel so sorry for her and for Sam, his father. Yeah, my heart goes out to all

00:33:36.960 these people who's been affected by this. There's so many that we didn't even think about before. I was

00:33:41.000 like always thinking about his wife and his children. But of course, his parents do. It's

00:33:45.380 terrible. Thank you. Anyways, that's it for me today, you guys. Thank you so much for watching. I

00:33:50.360 really appreciate all your support and all the tips you're sending me. There's been a lot of emails
