Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - The Floodgates Are OPEN !!

00:00:00.000 So she said to the judge, hey judge, we have an audio file that we would like to file on the docket for the public to hear.

00:00:14.020 Hi and welcome to Filsome Talk. I'm Sarshti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:22.340 okay so all parties have spoken blake lively side justin boldoni and the wayfair parties

00:00:30.960 and publicist stephanie jones they all told the judge what they want to stay hidden from the

00:00:38.680 public and we have a very interesting new twist here and an audio file in the same letter to the

00:00:47.540 judge, Blake Lively's team also asked the judge to unseal documents revealing prospective new

00:00:57.100 clients of Jed Wallace. That guy over in Texas that she accuses of being the brain behind the

00:01:04.560 smear machine. Yeah, she wants to expose more celebrities in Hollywood who had crisis, who were 0.96

00:01:10.940 asking Jed Wallace for help. I mean, she obviously wants to ruin Jed Wallace's business, but at the 0.95

00:01:17.460 same time she's risking getting a lot more enemies in Hollywood. Why is she doing this to herself? 0.98

00:01:24.180 And how far is Blake and Ryan willing to go to try and rehabilitate their own image?

00:01:30.000 Are they really looking for baby number five? Let's look into that. As well as Blake's new post

00:01:37.300 about Ryan Reynolds calling him her human-sized Barbie in an attempt to repackage him as her

00:01:45.820 playful, fashion-friendly accessory, harmless, supportive and secure in his masculinity. Let's

00:01:53.140 see if that's working. We have a lot to talk about. As you know, Friday was the deadline for

00:01:59.860 all parties to submit a letter to the judge and tell him this is what we still want to keep

00:02:06.400 secret from the public. Then it's up to the judge to release everything or to ask them to release

00:02:13.020 everything that's left in this case basically so you can finally say this is over now. Everyone

00:02:19.960 responded with different requests here but I wanted to go through what I found most interesting

00:02:24.480 first here and that is the filing from Stephanie Jones. As you know Stephanie Jones used to 0.84

00:02:30.360 represent Justin Baldoni but then her employee Jennifer Abel left her company and took Justin

00:02:36.860 Baloney with her and now she's suing both of them and they are suing her back and everything boils

00:02:44.560 down to Jennifer Abel's phone and how her phone ended up in Blake Lively's hands and we know there

00:02:52.120 are a lot of different versions of what really happened there and now I think we're about to

00:02:57.980 learn some really interesting facts here because Stephanie Jones told the judge I don't care about

00:03:04.280 any of this evidence you can just show everything and that tells me one really important thing

00:03:10.180 and that is that stephanie jones does not care about blake lively or ryan reynolds or their

00:03:17.420 publicist leslie sloan anymore they are not on the same team anymore because the only thing that's 0.95

00:03:23.780 important for her at the moment is to save her own ass and that is why i believe that some of 0.98

00:03:30.120 the stuff that Stephanie Jones is about to release is going to be pretty explosive. So as I said, 0.98

00:03:36.480 it all boils down to this phone that used to belong to Jennifer Abel that Stephanie Jones

00:03:41.540 took from her on August 21st. And according to Melissa Nathan, the crisis manager that Justin

00:03:50.480 Baldoni hired, she received a phone call from Leslie Sloan, Blake's publicist, on the same

00:03:59.560 day as Jennifer Abel's phone was taken from her that means that Stephanie Jones took screenshots

00:04:09.140 or whatever of Jennifer Abel's phone that day and sent it to Leslie Sloan and in that phone call

00:04:17.980 that Leslie Sloan had with Melissa Nathan she told Melissa Nathan according to her deposition

00:04:23.660 according to Melissa Nathan's deposition that she said hey I have seen your text meaning she's

00:04:29.580 physically seen her text and you are about to be sued so that happened on August 21st so at first

00:04:39.020 I was thinking so it doesn't make any sense that Blake Lively said in her deposition that she

00:04:45.040 didn't hear about these text messages through her publicist Leslie Sloan she was told about these

00:04:50.980 text messages through Ashley Avignon, a friend of hers that's also friends with Taylor Swift,

00:04:57.000 who Stephanie Jones had contacted and said, hey, I have some texts that I want to share with Blake.

00:05:02.280 So why didn't her publicist tell her, hey, I just saw some horrible text messages about you 0.56

00:05:07.560 that you should look into? I find that very interesting. And as you know, in Blake's

00:05:12.660 deposition, she was throwing Stephanie Jones under the bus. She said, Stephanie Jones wanted 0.80

00:05:18.300 to give me this phone but I told her let's do it the legal way first because I want to do it

00:05:24.120 because it's really important for me to do this legally which no one believes. Blake was told to

00:05:29.600 say that by her attorneys trust me because that story is also very different from what Melissa

00:05:35.420 Nathan said in her deposition when she said that she had heard that Stephanie Jones was contacted

00:05:42.920 by Ryan Reynolds. And Ryan Reynolds said, I want that phone, give it to me. He had put a lot of

00:05:49.640 pressure on her to give her the physical phone. So those two stories don't really align, obviously.

00:05:57.800 Blake cannot point to a specific date where she was told by Ashley that there was a phone with

00:06:03.940 these damaging text messages. She said in her deposition, it was like late August. And she also

00:06:09.860 said in her deposition that stephanie jones had reached out to leslie sloan but leslie sloan had

00:06:16.960 brushed it off so she didn't really think that these messages were that damaging maybe or she

00:06:23.540 didn't really think that blake should know about these text messages and i find that very interesting

00:06:28.520 in regards to how blake presented these messages that they were so damaging while leslie sloan her

00:06:34.940 publicist was like okay i'm not gonna even bring this to blake because she never brought it to

00:06:39.560 And I believe the reason for that is because Leslie Sloan was like, OK, this is how I work, too.

00:06:45.140 She's been contacting the media constantly trying to plan stories about Justin Baldoni.

00:06:49.900 We've seen all those text messages. So for her, she was like, OK, the other side is saying we can bury her.

00:06:55.240 So what's the big deal? I've been saying that about Justin the whole time.

00:06:58.580 So she only used that text that she received or the screenshots she received to put pressure on Melissa Nathan not to talk negatively about her client anymore.

00:07:10.200 So basically, that's what she did to Melissa Nathan. 0.99

00:07:12.700 She was threatening her and said, you can wait. 1.00

00:07:14.700 You're going to be sued because of this.

00:07:16.440 I've seen the text.

00:07:17.860 She didn't bring this to Blake.

00:07:19.640 Isn't that crazy to think about?

00:07:21.820 So she only looks at Blake as a product that she has to protect.

00:07:25.960 she doesn't care about Blake Lively's feelings obviously she didn't want to inform her about

00:07:31.660 this and it also tells me something else and that is that Leslie Sloan probably heard so many

00:07:36.540 terrible stories about her client that she was like okay this is every day I've seen this happen

00:07:41.720 so many times before and I also believe that because as you know my interview with Blake

00:07:47.560 Lively when she was behaving so rude and I'm sure Leslie Sloan was in that room I didn't know her at 1.00

00:07:54.620 that time so I didn't know what she looked like but I'm sure she was sitting in that room she

00:07:58.680 didn't even react to Blake Levy's behavior in that interview which tells me that you know this is just

00:08:04.680 an ordinary Tuesday for Blake and that's how she really is in real life and Leslie Sloan is the

00:08:10.040 same and she was like okay why are people reacting to this interview Blake wasn't rude she was just

00:08:14.900 being herself so back to Stephanie Jones filing here so she said to the judge hey judge we have

00:08:22.500 an audio file that we would like to file on the docket for the public to hear. So they're asking

00:08:30.580 actually the judge how to file this audio file so we could all hear it. And what could that audio

00:08:37.660 file be? Why would she want to keep that hidden from the public before? Maybe because she was

00:08:45.360 protecting Blake or Ryan and she obviously doesn't do that anymore so she doesn't care

00:08:51.940 if this audio file becomes public. Kind of seems like it. So what could this audio file be? I am

00:09:00.560 obviously hoping it is a phone call between her and Blake Lively or maybe Ryan Reynolds threatening

00:09:07.980 her to give her the phone. I'm sure Stephanie Jones recorded things because she knew what she

00:09:14.600 was doing was pretty sketchy so why wouldn't she record this to have things you know so she could

00:09:21.100 prove things if this ever turned into a legal feud which it obviously did so yes we are expecting

00:09:28.540 an audio file pretty soon and that will maybe also tell us more about how what happened

00:09:35.820 surrounding this van zand lawsuit the lawsuit that blake lively filed to get that phone legally

00:09:42.220 And that happened on September 27th.

00:09:46.980 So Leslie Sloan was told about the phone on August 21st.

00:09:51.540 So they waited for like five weeks to file this lawsuit before they actually saw the

00:09:56.860 text messages.

00:09:59.220 Like, no way.

00:10:00.660 Anyways, and then on October 1st, just like four days later or whatever, then they sent

00:10:06.340 a subpoena to Stephanie Jones to get hold of Jennifer Abel's phone.

00:10:10.480 And that's when Blake Lively is pretending was the first time she saw these text messages, I'm guessing.

00:10:17.740 Anyway, so that is something that I really look forward to in this unsealing process. 0.73

00:10:22.540 I think we have to look closely at what Stephanie Jones is revealing here.

00:10:27.280 And also Blake has a new filing.

00:10:29.560 She's not fighting to keep a lot of stuff sealed.

00:10:32.820 So I'm guessing we've seen most of the stuff.

00:10:35.140 but what she wants the judge to do is to unseal documents showing Jed Wallace's prospective new

00:10:43.540 clients. Jed Wallace is the guy in Texas, the guy behind the smear machine. She wants to reveal

00:10:49.420 communication he had with potential new clients. Why? Because she wants to prove that he is running

00:10:57.640 smear machines, underground untraceable smear machines, obviously, so she can get at least a

00:11:04.420 headline operate and i also think she's doing this to put pressure on him because as you know

00:11:09.920 he wants to depose her so they have a fight going on behind the scenes right now where blake live

00:11:15.420 is refusing to be deposed by him but she wants him to pay eight hundred thousand dollars in legal

00:11:20.760 fees and jed wallace is like i'm not paying you that if i'm gonna pay you anything you have to

00:11:26.560 sit down and testify and say that you believed all these things that you were accusing me for

00:11:33.660 If you don't do that, then I'm not going to give you any money.

00:11:36.620 Anyways, long story there.

00:11:38.180 They're fighting about that.

00:11:39.520 And I believe Blake Lively's attorneys here are trying to put pressure on him saying,

00:11:44.060 hey, we're about to expose some of your potential new clients here.

00:11:48.020 We want to ruin your business, obviously.

00:11:51.200 But while they're doing that, they might reveal people that even Blake Lively knows.

00:11:56.720 What if Taylor Swift is one of his clients, for example?

00:11:59.960 I don't believe that.

00:12:00.780 But, you know, there could be big names that are hidden in these documents and they're not going to be happy about that, Blake.

00:12:08.540 Does she really need any more enemies at this point?

00:12:11.780 I don't think so.

00:12:13.300 The Wayfair parties also file a letter to the judge and they were basically asking if the judge could hold on for a bit because there are third parties involved here.

00:12:23.520 people like sony wme others that have been dragged into this litigation and they should also have an

00:12:29.340 opportunity to say that we want certain things still sealed apart from that they're only asking

00:12:36.120 to seal personal information and health records and stuff like that so nothing specific there

00:12:44.980 and we don't know if the judge is going to allow that or not i want as much stuff as possible

00:12:51.260 obviously to be out there because I feel like we deserve to know everything at this point and now

00:12:57.240 we're starting to put all the pieces together here and yes it's exciting. Anyways let's look at how

00:13:03.520 Blake and Ryan are trying to rehabilitate their image right now. So this is a story in closer

00:13:10.020 online. I'm not sure if I trust it that much so like you know take it for what it is but it's an

00:13:16.400 interesting thing here and they've basically spoken to some insiders who can reveal that

00:13:22.480 Blake and Ryan are ready to welcome baby number five after legal disaster and fallout with Taylor

00:13:29.000 Swift. They're closing the chapter on a rough and a rough few years by moving on and making

00:13:35.000 big plans for their growing broads. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did that. I mean 0.98

00:13:42.880 it would take away a lot of the negative focus on they them as individuals and what they've done

00:13:49.760 so then it's going to be like oh Blake is pregnant you know look at her she's so beautiful and her

00:13:55.500 husband is so supportive blah blah blah I would not be surprised if they actually went as far as

00:14:01.360 to just have a baby to fix their image it will it fix their image though I don't think so but

00:14:06.860 anyways here is a an insider who says that their family is what brings them the most joy and they

00:14:12.640 really are in need of a boost right now says an insider close to the pair who have recently seen

00:14:18.320 their status on top of hollywood pile fall thanks to blake's bitter feud with her former dance with

00:14:23.760 us director and co-star justin baltoni which in turn led to breakdown of her friendship with

00:14:28.860 superstar taylor they're going through a lot of the stuff that's happened here and how embarrassing

00:14:34.140 this legal the legal fees that she was handed like i mean she doesn't look good in this article 0.94

00:14:41.680 And the insider continues to say here, not that this would be some sort of Band-Aid baby.

00:14:46.760 Their relationship is rock solid.

00:14:49.700 The timing feels right.

00:14:51.520 Blake is getting to the stage in life where it's better to have one more sooner than later.

00:14:56.400 And they both really want another child.

00:14:58.860 There's not some big sense of urgency, but the time to start trying is now.

00:15:03.500 Oh my gosh, can you imagine if they have another baby?

00:15:06.720 Poor baby.

00:15:07.480 they're putting a child into this world to fix their image basically so you're that image baby

00:15:13.300 yeah and they're gonna have to start trying for that i don't think there's much passion left in

00:15:19.140 that marriage but anyways it's a long story here and they're going through everything that's

00:15:23.740 happened which is really bad for blake and for ryan and then the insider says here again they

00:15:29.520 take a lot of trips to the uk because ryan's football team in wrexham and ryan always manages

00:15:34.120 to make time to take Blake out, just the two of them.

00:15:38.200 He's always doted on her and treated her like a queen.

00:15:42.580 But over the past couple of years, he's taken it to a new level

00:15:46.320 because she has needed so much cheering up.

00:15:49.300 It's been very difficult for her not to sink into a pretty dark space.

00:15:53.100 But fortunately, Ryan always knows how to make her smile.

00:15:58.480 And they continue.

00:15:59.580 He proves that he will have Blake's back no matter who turns on her.

00:16:03.160 and she says seeing his loyalty to her and strength as a husband when the chips were down

00:16:09.460 made her fall even more deeply in love with him. Ryan and our kids are the only thing that get her

00:16:16.760 through this hellish time so if there's any sort of silver lining for Blake it's that it really

00:16:23.280 highlighted what matters most. Yeah now it's not about the money it's not about accountability

00:16:31.700 and now it's about what matters the most which is Ryan and the kids. Maybe she would have thought

00:16:37.520 that from the beginning here if she really cared about Ryan and the kids maybe she wouldn't have 0.51

00:16:42.240 filed this lawsuit because it wasn't that great for any of them. And here comes the punchy last

00:16:47.660 sentence of this article. The big question is if and when they do welcome baby number five

00:16:54.480 who will win the honor of godmother sadly for blake her obvious choice is no longer ready and

00:17:02.340 willing ouch that hurt i wonder if she has any other big celebrity friends that will take on

00:17:10.800 the job as a godmother probably not they all just disappeared the last year remember she had outings

00:17:18.680 with emily blunt who came to support her of the premiere of a movie last year another simple

00:17:24.080 favor and selma hayek they went to dinner together with ryan reynolds as well so she did have a few

00:17:31.640 people left in her inner circle but they're just gone anyways daily mail did this other ridiculous

00:17:38.140 story that i have to mention because it's quite interesting how all of this fits together now

00:17:42.700 and again daily mail is taking something and spinning it positive in a headline and then in

00:17:49.920 the rest of the article, they're just trashing Blake and criticizing her for everything that

00:17:54.280 she's done. So this headline says, Blake Lively jokes Ryan Reynolds is her human Barbie as she

00:18:01.460 shares snaps of him carrying a floral handbag. What's interesting about this is that I bet you

00:18:08.580 every single thing that Blake Lively puts on Instagram has gone through her PR machine first.

00:18:14.600 they are carefully crafting her new image i've spoken about this many times already and this is

00:18:22.220 another prime example of that another reminder that blake and ryan's brand is like funny cute

00:18:29.780 relatable and of course they're deeply in love and here she's positioning ryan as the authentic 0.99

00:18:35.720 feminist and as you know justin boldone it was just a performative feminist according to ryan

00:18:41.660 So here you have a real feminist, a man who can carry a woman's purse inside his house with a flower on it.

00:18:51.680 And not only is he carrying her back, but she's calling him my human-sized Barbie. 0.63

00:18:57.720 Not my Ken, it's her Barbie, the ultimate pop feminist symbol.

00:19:04.100 And he's, of course, the supportive, harmless human Barbie.

00:19:07.500 Ken wouldn't be that powerful, obviously.

00:19:09.680 And she also added the song Barbie Girl to emphasize that he's a human-sized Barbie.

00:19:16.100 There's nothing Barbie about that photo, if you ask me.

00:19:18.780 He's just holding a purse.

00:19:20.180 What's Barbie about that?

00:19:21.680 I don't know.

00:19:22.940 So now, of course, we know that Ryan is the safe, harmless, feminist husband

00:19:28.900 and not that controlling Hollywood bully that we saw in all the text messages and emails

00:19:35.100 that he sent to other people in the industry.

00:19:37.700 No.

00:19:38.220 and I think as well this is interesting I'm not sure about this story but I have a lot of people

00:19:42.980 have sent it to me how Blake Lively was allegedly trying to take over the Barbie movie I don't know

00:19:48.880 if there's any evidence of that but of course if anyone googles that now this is a story that

00:19:54.620 they're going to come across I haven't seen if People Magazine did this story yet but I'm sure

00:19:58.920 that they will what's interesting is that she posted another photo of Ryan carrying her little

00:20:05.020 purse in june on june on june 2nd actually this year it then it was a herme bag worth like 25 to

00:20:13.660 50 000 and then she used the song hold my purse and she captioned it my account has officially

00:20:20.460 turned into an onlyfans ryan then reposted it so this is a reoccurring pattern actually and of

00:20:28.780 course when she posted that back in june people magazine jumped on it instantly and did a story

00:20:34.140 about it yeah let me know what you think about that to me it just looks so obvious at this time

00:20:39.540 what they're trying to do and it's just embarrassing anyways this article in the daily

00:20:44.180 mail keeps going through everything that happens with her lawsuit or fallout with taylor swift

00:20:49.240 and candace owens who shared a photo with just a baldone last week and also that she only got

00:20:54.880 400 000 k instead of eight million dollars in legal fees and that and that spencer pratt went

00:21:03.020 after ryan reynolds last week when he was promoting his movie on apple tv yeah all the controversies

00:21:10.140 it's really funny how daily mail is rage baiting everyone with this article and they just find like

00:21:15.780 this little angle something that one of them did on social media so then they can do another article

00:21:20.280 in letting the world know how very unlikable these two people really are anyways before i go i wanted

00:21:28.720 to share this photo from Vivi from Brazil who found this in her bathroom it's very cute thank

00:21:35.760 you for sending that to me so she said that this is actually a hair product that she has and it

00:21:43.160 was funny because it's called Beauty Baldoni and it's nutrition honey it's a serum it looks like

00:21:51.520 it's obviously not from Justin Baldoni himself this product but that was really funny and cute

00:21:56.580 So thank you for sending me that.

00:21:58.220 I'd much rather have this one in my bathroom than any Blake Brown products, that's for sure.

00:22:05.040 Anyway, that's it for me today, you guys.

00:22:07.000 Thank you so much for watching and thanks to Oscar, my executive producer.
