Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - They DROPPED Everything !!!

00:00:00.000 We get to learn what was said during those conversations, and this is really juicy.

00:00:11.060 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Jashti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:15.580 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. Oh my god, I'm so in shock right now.

00:00:23.000 First of all, I went to the legal docket this morning and I saw all the new documents that

00:00:28.660 were filed late last night and some this morning. There are probably like 40, 50 new documents and

00:00:35.020 it's a lot of fighting going on about what should be sealed, what should be unsealed.

00:00:39.620 And in the middle of all of this, Kristen Bender, Blake Lively's attorney, just leaked the entire

00:00:47.560 depositions of Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath. And guess what she included? Their home addresses.

00:00:55.160 I do not think this is a slip-up. I think this is intentional. And what they're doing right now

00:01:02.880 is thinking, hey, we lost anyway, so let's just do as much damage as we possibly can. So of course,

00:01:10.280 they're going to come out and say this is a mistake. But in the meantime, they have probably

00:01:14.620 sent out press releases to everyone, taking little pieces of both of their depositions out of context

00:01:21.440 to create as much damage as possible. This is really cruel. So just think about how much Blake

00:01:30.440 Lively has fought for her own privacy and for third parties' privacy. And now she's happily 1.00

00:01:37.240 telling the world where all these people live? So when they asked Justin in his deposition where he

00:01:42.600 lives, he said that he moved from LA to Nashville. And then he's telling his home address, which I'm not

00:01:48.980 going to repeat, obviously. But he said that he's not been in LA since this lawsuit was filed. As you

00:01:55.920 know, he took his family to Hawaii and stayed there for a really long time. And he has just stayed off

00:02:02.460 the grid ever since. There's been a photo here and there, maybe on Instagram, but that's about it.

00:02:08.340 The reason for that is obviously because he wanted to protect his family and get away from everything.

00:02:13.080 So he took all of them to Nashville and moved there. And guess what? Now everyone can find his

00:02:19.900 house. I mean, he has children. There are so many crazy people out there. And it's not like they're

00:02:26.100 saying that he lives in this apartment building in New York, which is what Blake Lively does,

00:02:31.020 where you have a doorman, where you have security, where you have cameras. He lives in a house with no

00:02:36.160 big hedges around it. This is just insane. And I only see this as revenge. There is no reason for

00:02:43.460 a seasoned attorney to do a mistake like this. And second of all, there was no reason for her to

00:02:49.440 attach the entire depositions. All we've seen from Blake Lively's depositions so far is like a piece,

00:02:55.900 like a half a page. While Justin Baldoni, as we learned from this deposition, he was sitting for two

00:03:02.200 days. One of the days, they started complaining after 13 and a half hours that he had been sitting

00:03:09.940 being interrogated by Blake Lively's team. The next day was he was there for about 10 hours, I think.

00:03:16.600 This happened in October, the 6th and the 7th of October. So don't tell me that her attorneys that

00:03:22.040 probably charge two to three thousand dollars per hour makes mistakes like this. Also, I wanted to

00:03:28.560 quick mention a story I'm going to go through. Hugh Jackman is now taking a step back from Ryan

00:03:33.460 Reynolds. Finally, good for him. And also, Colleen Hoover has come out and said that she has cancer.

00:03:39.820 She's even saying that this cancer is something that came from her lifestyle, that came from

00:03:44.300 bad nutrition and stress. Okay, so let's look into some of these things that we've learned from Justin

00:03:50.580 Baldoni's newly released deposition. It's over 300 pages. I think it's 380 pages. It's even

00:03:58.420 longer. So I haven't been able to read through all of it, but I have looked through parts that I find

00:04:04.000 interesting that I'm going to share with you. There's going to be so much more information

00:04:07.900 coming out now. I don't know where to start. As I said, there were about 40 new documents filed

00:04:13.660 about the sealing and what should be sealed and unsealed. And of course, now Justin Baldoni's team

00:04:19.080 has responded to all of Blake Lively's sealing requests saying that, hey, the public needs to know.

00:04:26.240 But let's first go through some of this stuff in the deposition that I haven't heard before.

00:04:30.380 One of them is when Blake Lively's attorney is asking Justin Baldoni about Blake Lively's deceased

00:04:35.520 father. As you know, she complained that he spoke to her deceased father. And that was one of those 17

00:04:43.040 points that she said that he needed to stop doing for her to return to work. Anyways, it ended up with

00:04:50.360 them signing all of this just to get it over with and get done with this movie. Now we know what this

00:04:55.800 whole conversation was all about. So Justin is telling here he knew that Blake Lively's dad had

00:05:00.380 passed away pretty recent. And he shared with her his faith and what he believed happens to people

00:05:07.640 after death. And he's telling their lawyer here that they had a very deep and interesting conversation

00:05:12.620 about this. And that Blake Lively seemed interested. And then he added maybe she wasn't because she's an

00:05:18.220 actress. She just came off that way. So the next day, Justin told Blake that, hey, I prayed for your

00:05:23.760 father and I asked him to bless the movie yesterday. I'm not a big fan of people bringing

00:05:28.880 their religion into the public space, but there's no harm here. All he did was try to support her

00:05:35.600 and try to make her feel better about losing her dad. But anyway, what's interesting here is

00:05:41.840 where this meeting happened, guess where? In the Buckingham Palace. Because that's what Blake

00:05:50.160 Lively calls her office in their Tribeca apartments. Listen to this. The attorney is asking,

00:05:58.000 who else was there when you had that conversation with Ms. Lively? This was at her, I don't know what

00:06:03.400 you call it. She used to call it Buckingham Palace, as she said, because so many celebrities

00:06:07.800 walked through there. I think that was her office in her penthouse apartment, which was the place that

00:06:13.380 Ms. Lively requested all our meetings to be. It was just her and myself. So she invited him by

00:06:20.520 himself to her office. Well, at the same time, she was so scared of him because he was harassing her.

00:06:26.340 Anyway, this lawyer says, it's your testimony that Ms. Lively used to refer to that as Buckingham

00:06:33.500 Palace. That's what her and Mr. Reynolds would call it. So they're obviously looking at themselves

00:06:41.300 as royals here. This is another example of these humongous egos. Who would call their office

00:06:48.940 Buckingham Palace? And then Justin adds that they may have said it was something that Taylor Swift

00:06:55.520 had said. So maybe Taylor Swift was one who called it Buckingham Palace. And then they adapted that.

00:07:00.760 I don't know. But anyways, I just think it says it all, you know, when you refer to your office as

00:07:05.640 Buckingham Palace. Anyways, here comes the really interesting part. I didn't know this about that

00:07:12.000 WME phone call. But before we get into that, I just wanted to thank the sponsor of this video,

00:07:18.800 Ro. Living a healthy life is the best gift that you can have. And I really hope that everyone gets

00:07:24.480 to experience that. Taking care of your health isn't just physical. It affects every aspect of your life.

00:07:31.200 I know a lot of people delay weight loss, not because they don't need help, but because insurance

00:07:37.600 feels confusing and overwhelming. Before I say anything more, I want to stress that GLP-1 medication

00:07:44.540 is not for everyone. They're not for people who just want to drop a couple of pounds after the

00:07:50.520 holidays. They're designed for people who genuinely struggle to lose weight and people that know that

00:07:55.860 their long-time health is at risk if they don't take action. That's why I love that Ro

00:08:01.000 offers a free body insurance checker. All you have to do is submit your insurance card and Ro does

00:08:07.120 the rest. No paperwork, no phone calls, no guessing. A few days later, you get a clear report showing

00:08:13.860 whether GLP-1 medication, also called weight loss injections, may be covered by your insurance and

00:08:20.820 if prior authorization is required. You don't even need to be a Ro member to get the report. It's

00:08:26.040 completely free. From there, you decide what's right for you. And if you decide to move forward,

00:08:31.580 Ro offers ongoing support with access to a provider. Go to ro.co slash Kjersti, my name,

00:08:39.380 for your free insurance check. That's R-O dot C-O slash K-J-E-R-S-T-I to see if your insurance

00:08:47.840 covers GLP-1 for free. Go to ro.co slash safety for box warning and full safety information about

00:08:56.460 GLP-1 medications. Okay, so as we've learned so far, both Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath, his partner,

00:09:03.620 have recorded phone calls. They did that to have some sort of evidence if anything just came up

00:09:11.580 later, which was really smart. And of course, now Blake Levy's team is using this against them,

00:09:16.900 saying that it's illegal to record a conversation without the other person knowing it. That is a

00:09:22.020 rule here in California and in other states as well. And apparently they were in LA when this

00:09:28.240 happened. But what's interesting here is that because they're asking them about these illegal

00:09:32.720 recording, we get to learn what was said during those conversations. And this is really juicy.

00:09:40.660 So here the lawyer is asking, Justin, did you have any understanding from what he said to you or why

00:09:46.640 he was telling you? So he's talking about Jamie Heath that had recorded a conversation with WME and the

00:09:53.760 agent there. And then he told Justin about this. And Justin responds, I believe we were being,

00:10:01.320 we were being threatened. By whom? By Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Lively. Were you on that call? No.

00:10:09.840 Do you know who was? I know someone from WME. I presume to be my former agent. I think Jennifer

00:10:17.040 Abel was on the call as well. And then they're asking here, to your understanding, how are you

00:10:22.220 being threatened at the time by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds? And he says, my understanding was

00:10:28.900 that there were demands being made that I released some sort of public statement that had been drafted

00:10:35.300 by Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Lively and given to an agent. We know this statement that Ryan Reynolds

00:10:41.640 wrote that's already been public. And in this statement, Ryan Reynolds wrote that the Wayfair

00:10:48.180 parties take all responsibility for all the backlash surrounding It Ends With Us for the terrible

00:10:54.660 promotion of the movie where Blake Lively talked about her hair products and Bezzy booze instead of

00:11:00.880 talking about DV. And he wanted Justin Baldoni to sign that and the Wayfair parties to sign that,

00:11:07.940 which would have basically been a disaster. And we've seen text messages now between Jamie Heath

00:11:14.880 and someone else I don't remember. But it was clear that it was Emily Baldoni, Justin Baldoni's wife,

00:11:20.820 who said to everyone, don't ever sign that statement. F them. So we know they never signed this

00:11:28.580 statement. Thankfully. But, and here it continues. And I had been told, says Justin, there were multiple

00:11:35.100 calls that were coming, incoming from the agency saying that if Justin doesn't release a statement,

00:11:42.200 then they will, Ms. Lively and Mr. Reynolds, leave William Morris. So William Morris Endeavor

00:11:51.420 is the agency that represented everyone here, WME. And we know Justin Baldoni got fired from the agency

00:12:00.420 the same day the article dropped in the New York Times. It was all planned. I talked about that in

00:12:06.760 another episode that they planned the maximum damage surrounding that article and how it could just like

00:12:14.400 cripple Justin Baldoni and everyone else involved. So now we know that Ryan and Blake threatened WME 0.98

00:12:20.520 to leave them unless they threatened Justin Baldoni to sign that statement. And apparently this is in

00:12:29.260 that phone call that's been recorded. Oh my God, I can't wait to hear this. And then Justin continues

00:12:34.900 to say, I was told that they called, the agency called numerous times. And this evidently was a phone

00:12:40.620 call on, on which a statement was read that was prepared by Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Lively. And the only

00:12:48.280 other thing I remember about it, that I was in fear that if this wasn't done, the gloves would come

00:12:54.360 off. So that's something that they repeatedly had said to them that the gloves would come off

00:13:00.120 if WME didn't do as they told them to do. And you know that Blake Lively also pressured Sony.

00:13:09.000 There's a lot of text messages of evidence of that, that they pressured them to do a lot of things.

00:13:14.040 And then the attorney is asking, were you scared of things that Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds might

00:13:18.880 do? And he says, I was terrified of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively in general, especially considering

00:13:25.300 they had just threatened us and said they were taking the gloves off if I didn't release the

00:13:30.260 statement. What did you understand taking the gloves off to mean? The attorney says, again,

00:13:36.260 I didn't know. I know what they were able to. I know somehow they were able to take my movie from

00:13:41.780 me. So I didn't know what they were capable of. Is that what you believe happened that they took

00:13:46.840 the movie from you? Yes. And then they keep asking him what he was scared of. And he's saying here that

00:13:52.540 I was afraid, honestly, of lies coming out about me. And then the lawyer says about your behavior on

00:13:58.220 set. And he says, well, it was one of the things lies in general. I didn't know. I mean, at this point,

00:14:04.580 I was already made aware that her team was pitching stories that I was in a cult. And I had already

00:14:10.580 been told that Mr. Reynolds had told agents that I was a predator of some kind. So there was,

00:14:16.180 I was made aware that there were done, that there was damage that they were trying to do to me already.

00:14:21.460 And I didn't know what they were capable of. Yeah. I remember that story in the Hollywood Reporter.

00:14:27.560 It was all about the Baha'i faith and how that, um, and how that was so evident on the set of It Ends

00:14:35.580 with us. And people were accusing Justin of creating a culture of toxic positivity and a

00:14:44.140 culture of hugging. These were the things that were mentioned. It's so ridiculous. But anyways,

00:14:49.580 the Hollywood Reporter jumped on that and created this story that made it seem like Baha'i is a cult.

00:14:56.140 So we know that's true. And who planted that story? I mean, come on. Then they talk about this

00:15:02.060 credit that was removed from the poster. So here is obvious that Blake Lively pressured Sony to remove

00:15:08.940 a film by credits on the movies. So Justin Baldoni wouldn't have his name on the movie as a director.

00:15:16.620 And what they're doing here is just so twisted. So they're trying here to make it sound like

00:15:25.020 Justin just wanted this credit there because he's so vain. So they're saying, would you want to have a

00:15:31.580 credit that's known as a vanity credit? And then they mention a lot of Hollywood directors, big time

00:15:37.420 Hollywood directors don't want their name as a film by on any poster anymore because so many more

00:15:45.500 people are involved in the project and they don't want to take the attention away from everyone else.

00:15:50.460 So what they're saying here is that would you want a credit that's known as the vanity credit

00:15:55.100 to be something you sought on a film written by a woman with a screenplay written by a woman with many

00:16:09.020 women acting on it? Would you want a credit that's known as the vanity credit attached to your name? 1.00

00:16:15.500 So they obviously tried to make him look like a sexist because he wanted his name on his own movie

00:16:21.340 that he produced, that he directed, and that he acted in, and that he owns the right to.

00:16:29.500 Then they talk about how Blake tried to remove him from the trailer as well. I didn't know that

00:16:34.620 she tried to remove him from the trailer. Obviously, she didn't succeed in that. But what would the

00:16:39.740 movie be without the main character, the main male character? And then they're asking him here,

00:16:45.260 do you believe Blake Lively had the approval authority over the final trailer that was released

00:16:51.260 for the film It Ends With Us? Justin is responding, very smart here. He's saying,

00:16:57.100 from my understanding, in many ways, that's what she claimed in her letter to the producer's guilt of

00:17:02.860 America. So he's using her own actions against her here. I love this. As you know, she wants that

00:17:09.660 letter to be sealed. She doesn't want us to see all the things that she bragged about that she was 1.00

00:17:15.660 responsible for on this movie because that makes her look like a bad victim. I spoke about this

00:17:21.740 yesterday as well. This letter that she forced both the Wayfair parties and Sony to sign so she could

00:17:31.980 get that producer mark. And now he's saying that she claims in that letter as well that she was

00:17:37.180 responsible for the trailer of the movie. I mean, how are these lawyers going to present

00:17:43.580 any of this in front of a jury? It's just like mind-boggling to me. Anyways, as I said, I haven't

00:17:50.300 been able to read through everything in these depositions. A lot of it has been unsealed before,

00:17:56.860 but I will definitely go through everything to keep you guys posted here. I also wanted to mention

00:18:03.260 this letter that the Wayfair parties wrote to the judge about unsealing the conversation between

00:18:11.020 WME and Ryan Reynolds. Because as you know, Blake Lively filed another letter yesterday,

00:18:16.700 which was way past deadline, where she's desperately asking this letter to stay sealed or this evidence

00:18:24.520 to stay sealed. And here the Wayfair party is saying that this evidence that Ryan Reynolds spoke to

00:18:31.340 WME about Justin Baldoni. And obviously now, as we know from the deposition here, that he probably

00:18:38.140 threatened WME that him and Blake would leave their agency if they didn't get Justin to sign that

00:18:44.860 statement. And this is probably what this text message or this communication is about. And it looks

00:18:51.980 awful on Ryan Reynolds, obviously. And Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are desperate to keep it sealed.

00:18:58.940 And here the Wayfair parties are making some really good points saying like, there's no reason

00:19:03.740 there's no reason why this evidence should stay sealed. Ryan Reynolds is not a nobody here. He

00:19:11.980 inserted himself into this situation. He has been a big part of all of this, especially what's been going

00:19:18.220 on behind the scenes of the taking over of the movie. And they're also pointing out here, the reason for

00:19:24.140 sealing things is basically privacy interests. You don't want to reveal personal information like

00:19:30.700 Blake Lively's team just did with Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath. You don't want to do that. And

00:19:36.780 that's the only reason why some parts should be sealed. And there's no personal information here

00:19:43.020 that's at risk. And they're also saying the information that this contains really helps Justin's defense.

00:19:50.060 So they're asking the judge, release it. Anyways, the Enquirer is writing today that

00:19:56.540 Hugh Jackman is avoiding Ryan Reynolds amid Justin Baldoni drama. Mutual Pals says that they feel the

00:20:03.580 tension. Of course, why would Hugh Jackman still want to be friends with Ryan Reynolds? Ryan is going

00:20:11.340 down and he's trying to bring as many people as possible with him. And I think Hugh Jackman sees that

00:20:17.420 now. And it says here that Hugh doesn't want to be caught in the middle of it. He's loyal,

00:20:22.060 but he has limits when it comes to messy legal battles. Another source confirms there's a sense

00:20:28.300 Hugh's stepping back for his own sanity. As you know, he's going through a messy divorce himself.

00:20:34.940 He has a new girlfriend. And as I spoke about the other day, I do believe that Sutton Foster,

00:20:40.300 his new girlfriend, is not a fan of Blake Wively. Who would be? So I'm guessing also she's the one

00:20:46.780 saying to him, you know, stay away from Ryan. It's bad news. We're getting married. We're about

00:20:51.420 to start a new life together. Why would we want those toxic people to be a part of it? It also 0.99

00:20:57.340 says here that meanwhile, Ryan reportedly keeps reaching out. He's texting, calling, even trying

00:21:03.820 to lock in plans, as source reveals. But Hugh hasn't been returning his calls. Just like Taylor Swift

00:21:10.620 and Blake Wively, it seems like just, it seems like Ryan Reynolds has lost his best friend. It says

00:21:17.260 here that it was subtle at first, a missed text here, a cooler response there, but people close to

00:21:23.500 them can feel the tension. Yes, I don't think we're going to see any photos of these two people together

00:21:31.340 anytime soon. And Ryan didn't show up to support his pal in any of his latest premieres of the movie

00:21:38.380 Sing Song Blue, which has been competing for awards this season. And I'm sure that it wasn't

00:21:43.820 because Ryan didn't want to. I think Hugh is just like, I don't want you there. Anyways, Colin Hoover,

00:21:49.900 the author of It Ends With Us, has come out and said that she has cancer. She just finished radiation.

00:21:57.180 We know that she has been really dragged into this whole mess by Blake Wively, and she chose

00:22:03.180 his side early on. And then she obviously later regretted it. And she ended up deleting her entire

00:22:09.900 Instagram with two million followers. And then when she came back on again, like two weeks later,

00:22:15.500 she had deleted all posts with Blake Wively and Justin Baldoni. And we know that she has changed her

00:22:22.700 story many times here. And she's even been quoted saying that she's no longer proud of this book from

00:22:30.220 because of everything that happened with this lawsuit and after this movie came out.

00:22:35.580 So it says here on NBC News that Hoover gave some insight into her cancer journey in a Facebook

00:22:40.780 post on Friday, in which she explains that results from genetic testing told her the cancer did not

00:22:46.700 come from family genes and that it also didn't come from the two main causes of cancer, which is HPV

00:22:54.300 or excessive hormones. She's saying this means it was more than likely environmental lifestyle,

00:23:01.420 which is lack of exercise, poor diet and stress. There is no doubt that this lawsuit has caused so

00:23:12.140 many people so much stress. And I think that this is a result of that. Yeah, there's no doubt that

00:23:20.380 stress can cause cancer. And we know that Colleen Hoover has not handled this situation very well.

00:23:26.780 We've seen her posting very cryptic, weird stories and things on her Instagram that seemed like she

00:23:33.340 was a bit off and she had some issues. And now we know that this obviously hasn't been easy for her.
