Taylor Swift and her fianc have been accused of lying to the public about their relationship with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, and now they are being sued by the director of "It Ends With Us", Justin Baldoni.
00:01:10.700In this episode, I also wanted to look at the notes that Angie Gianetti from Sony gave to Justin Baldoni on the script of It Ends With Us.
00:01:19.140As I said before, I have my suspicions that Ryan Reynolds tried to squeeze in his jokes everywhere in this script.
00:01:26.740And after reading these notes from Sony, it's so clear to me that they wanted a completely different movie than Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively did.
00:01:35.180Also, let's look at how Blake was complaining about the intimate scenes in her deposition
00:01:40.320and how traumatizing it was for her to discuss these scenes with her co-star and director.
00:01:47.280She apparently had no idea there would be any intimate scenes in this R-rated movie.
00:01:52.980So for her, as a mother of four children, these scenes came as a huge surprise to her.
00:01:59.600Maybe because she never read the book?
00:02:01.280Okay, so I found this article online this morning and then when I clicked on it, it was gone.
00:02:06.340So this was supposedly what was in Star, the magazine that's not very reliable anyways,
00:02:12.920but someone else picked it up and it says here that the headline was supposed to be
00:02:17.100Justin is thrilled that Blake and Taylor are being exposed amid leaked texts.
00:02:22.720I'm sure he's happy that finally the public can see who these people really truly are, see their real colors.
00:02:28.980I mean, these are things that he claimed in his initial complaint, in his initial lawsuit,
00:02:34.280but we were never able to see any evidence of what happened.
00:02:38.740And of course, it makes sense that Justin's happy about that.
00:02:42.000The article that picked up the article that's now deleted said that,
00:02:45.840however, the director couldn't be more thrilled that the communication exposed Lively and Swift.
00:02:51.680A source said he's thrilled that they're being exposed as catty mean girl types and says people are finally getting a glimpse of what he had to deal with.
00:03:03.880The source continued that he's absolutely loving how everything is turning out.
00:03:09.140I actually don't believe this source, to be honest with you.
00:03:12.320I don't think Justin Baldoni would use this kind of language that he's thrilled and he's loving how all this is coming out.
00:03:19.100But I do think that it makes him happy and it gives him some sort of comfort that the public is now seeing what he's been trying to tell us this entire time.
00:03:29.600The tipster here, as they're calling it, is not a source, it's just a tipster.
00:03:33.560Further added that this legal feud has been completely exhausting and costly for the actor and director.
00:03:39.500However, he's now even more determined to keep on fighting.
00:03:43.020I heard his lawyer said that Brian Friedman, the other day outside of the court,
00:03:46.540he said that Justin is really excited to tell his side of the story in court.
00:03:52.820If it ever gets to that, we only have a few months left now and I'm very excited for that trial as well.
00:03:58.420I can't wait for everyone to be on that stand and so we can get to the bottom of all these little question marks that we still have left.
00:04:04.980Also, there was a lot of stories yesterday about how Taylor Swift now might not invite Blake Lively to her wedding,
00:04:11.760which I think is like so obvious anyways that she's not going to invite her.
00:04:15.580Yesterday was also the premiere of Taylor Swift's newest music video,
00:04:19.860Oppolite, from her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.
00:04:24.100And some people have already started looking for little Easter eggs.
00:04:27.980I haven't been able to look for any clues,
00:04:30.680but it seems like Taylor Swift's best friend in the movie is a rock.
00:04:34.000Until she meets the man that she falls in love with and there's some friendship bracelets there.
00:04:38.160I don't know, I haven't had time to look at it yet,
00:04:40.200but I will try to figure out if Taylor is trying to tell us something in this video.
00:04:43.880As we know, she loves to have us keep guessing.
00:04:47.780The video is not available on YouTube and someone sent me this email this morning saying,
00:04:52.600as you know, Taylor's Oppolite music video dropped,
00:11:14.600Anyways, let's talk more about these intimate scenes in the movie and the deposition of Blake Lively's agent.
00:11:20.940And also about those comments that Sony made on the script of It Ends With Us and how that is poking holes all over Blake Lively's lawsuit.
00:11:32.740But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the two sponsors of this video, Lola Blankets and Roe.
00:11:41.700This is going to be where I spend most of this weekend trying to get over this cold with my favorite blanket, Lola.
00:11:50.580I love snuggling up with Oscar in this blanket on the sofa after a long day at work, maybe with a glass of wine or maybe with a cup of tea.
00:11:59.040I don't know how they make this, but this is vegan faux fur with signature four-way stretch that makes it drape perfectly onto any furniture.
00:12:08.040I went with the large size, which is perfect for cozy night.
00:14:21.920From there on, you decide what's right for you.
00:14:24.260And if you decide to move forward, Ro offers ongoing support and access to a provider.
00:14:29.940Go to ro.co slash Flossom for your free insurance check.
00:14:34.640That's ro.co slash Flossom to see if your insurance covers GLP-1s for free.
00:14:44.020All right, so let's get back into the madness, you guys.
00:14:47.880I wanted to share parts of Blake Lively's agent's deposition with you to just emphasize one of the things that I think will be important in this trial.
00:14:59.160Because as you know, Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni not only over SH, but she sued him for retaliation because she chose to speak up.
00:15:10.840So what doesn't make sense to a lot of attorneys, I've heard them speak about this as well, is that if he wanted to retaliate against Blake, why did they wait for so long?
00:15:24.860Because as you know, they started shooting this movie, then they had a break because of the strike, and then Blake refused to come back on the set.
00:15:34.300So that resulted in several months delay, even after the strike was over.
00:15:38.980And Blake said, you know, I needed to sign these 17 points that used to be 30 points, but I don't know, it turned out to be 17 points.
00:15:47.460And she said, if you sign all of this, I will come back to work again.
00:15:51.720And everyone that was involved on the set after this was signed said and witnessed in their testimonies that nothing else occurred on the set that made Blake Lively unhappy after that.
00:16:04.760So again, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever why the Wayfair parties would start this retaliation campaign against Blake Lively this long after she actually spoke out.
00:16:16.520If they count that letter as someone speaking out, which is what I think they're trying to do.
00:16:22.000Anyways, why would the Wayfair parties wait until the premiere week of this movie to try to smear Blake?
00:16:45.400He came to the set after they had signed those 17 points, after they resumed to filming, and he said as well, there was nothing there.
00:16:53.160Everything was smooth, but there started to be conflict again when they started editing the movie.
00:16:59.540As you know, I spoke about this yesterday as well, because Blake Lively wanted her version of the movie to go into theaters, and there was a lot of drama about that.
00:17:08.160So Warren Zavala was also asked about how this had affected Blake Lively's career.
00:17:13.600And I find this kind of ironic, because WME, which is the agency that he belongs to, was the agency that Ryan Reynolds pushed to fire Justin Baldoni from.
00:17:25.320And now we can see that by him doing that, the public got to learn what kind of people these people are, and no one wants to hire them.
00:17:35.680So this completely backfired on Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
00:17:41.260And as you know, I talked about yesterday, Ryan Reynolds is supposed to come out with this movie on Apple TV, and the whole PR thing around it was just canceled without anyone knowing why.
00:17:53.160And now it's supposed to come to the streamer in September.
00:17:56.580They finished shooting it already in May of 2024.
00:17:59.580So this whole thing now is backfiring on them tremendously.
00:18:05.040And Blake's agent is saying the same thing here.
00:18:08.740So they're saying that, oh, she was in another simple favor, but did she have any other offers after that?
00:18:15.460And he's saying no meaningful or real offers.
00:18:19.040And the lawyer is asking, and you qualify it by saying meaningful.
00:18:23.480And the agent says, anybody can send a script that is remotely in the business who wants to put together a project.
00:18:28.340It doesn't mean that they have the money to finance it or make a bona fide offer or what a start date or have distribution.
00:18:36.340So a meaningful offer in my mind would be something that is either financed or has a distributor or has an element involved that is meaningful enough where you would, you know, the movie is going to go get done without her attaching herself to it.
00:18:52.580Okay, and have you noticed there being just generally less interest in Ms. Lively in films?
00:19:37.160And she's like, we're missing all of this here.
00:19:39.060And now I just wanted to share with you some of the notes that she wrote on the script and how it makes totally sense to me that Ryan Reynolds got involved here and changed up things from the original script.
00:19:54.440This one I already mentioned where Blake's character Lily is supposed to say to Ryle, you should know I suffer from toxic masculinity.
00:20:02.480Of course, that is something that Ryan added here because that is something that he has criticized Justin Baldoni for.
00:24:08.940But can you cover so we get one without all the chatter and just see her looking at him and an audience with Lily point of view as she's watching and then have her ask for pajamas and then the thrill or that.
00:24:53.580Then again, she's taken out something here where it says he stares at her, then fake snores again.
00:25:01.300It seems like Ange took out all the awkwardness of Ryle.
00:25:04.920He's supposed to come across as this perfect guy, this sergeant, and then they're adding these little things to him that makes him look like an idiot.
00:25:13.660And here it says they make love and Ange has pointed out, again, fine with morning if you guys love, but think it's more romantic at night.
00:25:23.920With fountain behind them, more the fantasy for the viewer.
