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
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
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
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.
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
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
00:19:22.200
dig at him. Because he agreed that he also stared at her midsection. Why isn't Jenny Slate creepy for
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.
00:20:41.640
It's like they're writing this to an attorney. And then Jenny continues in another text saying,
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
00:33:55.200

00:34:01.200
tips and also all your and all your comments. I'm trying to read through them as well. There's a lot.
00:34:07.340
It's amazing. And I'm so happy that you are so engaged in this and that you are just as determined
00:34:13.240
as I am to getting to the bottom of this and getting the truth out there. Anyways, if you
