00:00:30.000 Because Mrs. Baker was often the one that would run up and give me a hug.
00:00:35.660 I love this. This is the best part, you guys.
00:00:43.440 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Sesti Flore, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:47.840 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.
00:00:51.180 As you know, last week was crazy in the Lively vs. Baldoni Wayfarer saga.
00:00:56.840 Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties filed a motion for summary judgment
00:01:02.120 so that the judge could look at all the evidence they have and hopefully say,
00:01:06.220 this doesn't even need to go to trial because there's not really a case here.
00:01:10.100 Anyways, from that, a lot of new evidence was available to us.
00:01:14.160 And that evidence made headlines.
00:01:16.340 So now the narrative is changing from Blake Lively being a victim
00:01:21.300 till Blake Lively improvised kisses with Justin Baldoni
00:01:25.400 that wasn't in the script of It Ends With Us.
00:01:28.800 And from her supportive husband now being the angry husband
00:01:33.240 who berated and belittled Justin Baldoni for five hours in their penthouse.
00:01:39.420 So far, Blake's team has not come out and commented on anything,
00:01:43.740 but they did file something on Friday that made me laugh.
00:01:48.780 This is so desperate, you guys.
00:01:50.760 You won't believe this filing from both Ryan and Blake.
00:01:54.740 They're hoping now to bring Ryan back in,
00:01:57.020 that maybe that would create some headlines.
00:01:59.300 We'll see about that.
00:02:00.600 Also, TMC just published another ridiculous story.
00:02:04.260 You won't believe how they're twisting the story now.
00:02:07.500 And also, what happened to that poll that TMZ did last week
00:02:13.240 when they asked who the public believes?
00:02:16.320 And 91% of people said that they believe Justin Baldoni.
00:02:20.360 Now, that whole poll is missing.
00:02:23.580 So last week, there were hundreds of attachments of new evidence
00:02:27.520 in Justin Baldoni's motion for summary judgment.
00:02:31.640 And we haven't been able to see more than, I think, about 15, 20% of that
00:02:35.880 because the rest is under seal.
00:02:38.520 We can't see what we think might be in there
00:02:42.300 because the evidence is marked BL for Blake Lively,
00:02:46.680 LS for Leslie Sloan.
00:02:48.840 And also, there are some documents marked RR subpoena.
00:02:54.660 Let's talk about that.
00:02:56.680 We also have to get more into some of the depositions
00:02:59.720 of Justin Baldoni here because it's so crazy.
00:03:02.740 This is so cringe and it completely backfired on Blake Lively's attorney
00:03:08.920 when she was interrogating him about hugging on the set of It Ends With Us
00:03:14.540 and also how Jenny Slate looks like a complete hypocrite
00:03:19.220 after saying that she was offended by Justin calling her pants sexy.
00:03:25.160 Yeah, there's a lot to go through here, you guys.
00:03:27.400 But before we get into any of that,
00:03:29.360 I wanted to send a big thank you to the sponsor of this video,
00:03:33.120 Tiki Solitaire Tri Peaks.
00:03:35.220 I think I just found the cutest tropical escape on my phone and I'm hooked.
00:03:40.240 It's basically a vacation disguised as a game.
00:03:43.800 You join Tiki and his adorable pup Poi
00:03:46.540 and travel from island to island,
00:03:49.420 solving colorful solitaire puzzles
00:03:51.740 that makes you feel like you're on the beach
00:03:55.140 instead of being in traffic,
00:03:57.560 waiting for the train or waiting for your coffee.
00:04:00.520 It's super easy to start,
00:04:01.860 but the fun part is to mastering it.
00:04:04.380 There are wild cards,
00:04:06.200 streak multipliers
00:04:07.560 and little strategy moments
00:04:09.720 that make it feel so satisfying.
00:04:12.340 And there are over 4,000 levels,
00:04:14.500 so there's always something new.
00:04:16.720 Plus, you can team up with your friends
00:04:18.320 or even join clubs,
00:04:19.720 which makes it extra fun.
00:04:21.600 I usually play a few rounds at night
00:04:23.780 just to unwind
00:04:25.200 or when I'm waiting for the dinner to get ready.
00:04:28.040 Download Tiki Solitaire Tri Peaks for free
00:04:30.920 from the link in my description
00:04:33.280 and get 10,000 free coins.
00:04:36.240 It's fun.
00:04:37.120 It's relaxing.
00:04:38.400 Start your island adventure now.
00:04:41.060 Okay, as I said,
00:04:42.120 there's only about 20% of the evidence
00:04:44.880 that we've been able to see so far.
00:04:46.820 So everything that Baldoni's team found in Discovery
00:04:50.140 from Blake Lively's side is still sealed
00:04:53.220 and it's marked with initials of the person
00:04:56.760 that the evidence belongs to.
00:04:59.440 And there are some RR Ryan Reynolds
00:05:02.940 marked evidence here.
00:05:05.360 And it says that there are text messages
00:05:07.300 marked RR, subpoena and text messages.
00:05:10.880 And these text messages are sent on July 13th
00:05:14.420 and they're marked August 9th,
00:05:16.980 the day of the premiere of It Ends With Us,
00:05:18.800 August 10th, August 12th, 13th,
00:05:21.020 then August 15th,
00:05:22.200 and then August 17th and 18th.
00:05:24.940 So these are texts related to It Ends With Us
00:05:27.520 and or Justin Baldoni.
00:05:30.680 And as we know,
00:05:31.880 in January, Daily Mail wrote this,
00:05:33.780 that Blake and Ryan will be subpoenaed
00:05:35.880 to turn over all texts and emails
00:05:38.060 about Justin Baldoni
00:05:39.240 and It Ends With Us.
00:05:40.300 And we haven't seen any of that yet.
00:05:44.380 So I am so curious to see
00:05:46.840 what kind of bombshell is hiding behind
00:05:50.020 those text messages that Ryan Reynolds sent to people.
00:05:53.720 We don't know who he sent these text messages to
00:05:56.040 or what they said,
00:05:57.840 but we know they're about It Ends With Us
00:06:00.200 and we know they're about Justin Baldoni.
00:06:02.520 Anyway, the way it looks like now,
00:06:04.120 Ryan Reynolds is not likely to actually testify
00:06:07.480 for Blake in court.
00:06:09.900 And the reason for that is because
00:06:12.560 if he were to testify,
00:06:14.660 he would have to share a lot from their private life.
00:06:19.000 It will be really intrusive
00:06:20.780 and it will be really personal
00:06:22.460 and all that stuff will then be public knowledge.
00:06:25.720 He will be asked about their intimate life
00:06:27.800 and if that was affected
00:06:28.920 from Blake being S-H on the set,
00:06:32.240 what they usually do.
00:06:33.300 You know, these things can be extremely intrusive
00:06:36.060 and he would most likely be asked
00:06:38.140 why he let his wife go back to the set
00:06:41.160 if he knew that she was being S-Hed.
00:06:44.280 Why didn't he do anything about it?
00:06:46.720 They have enough money in the world
00:06:48.100 to just pull out of a project.
00:06:49.960 Why didn't they do that?
00:06:51.040 Why didn't they go to HR?
00:06:52.400 Why didn't they go to SAG?
00:06:53.860 Why didn't they report this anywhere
00:06:55.660 if it was such a big problem?
00:06:57.660 So yeah, we're not going to see Ryan Reynolds
00:06:59.760 on that stand protecting
00:07:02.320 or standing up for his wife
00:07:04.400 because he knows that
00:07:06.320 that would be devastating for him.
00:07:08.660 As we can see now
00:07:09.660 from parts of Justin Baldoni's deposition,
00:07:12.160 Blake Lively's attorneys really went for it.
00:07:14.920 They were asking him
00:07:16.040 about so many personal details.
00:07:18.520 You won't believe this interrogation
00:07:20.700 that they did
00:07:21.560 to try and twist things around
00:07:23.420 to make him seem like a bad person
00:07:25.900 with bad character
00:07:27.120 that's not trustworthy
00:07:28.640 and that doesn't know what boundaries are.
00:07:31.340 Anyway, let's just look quickly
00:07:33.200 at this TMZ article that was published
00:07:35.320 where they're saying that
00:07:36.600 Justin Baldoni joked on set,
00:07:39.880 sorry, I missed the SH training.
00:07:43.000 That's the story that TMZ just published.
00:07:47.740 Justin Baldoni made an offhanded remark
00:07:50.580 as the cast of It Ends With Us
00:07:52.300 was getting ready to shoot a scene.
00:07:54.100 He says, sorry, I missed the SH training,
00:07:56.740 but it was a joke
00:07:57.780 about the wardrobe for the scene.
00:07:59.400 So TMZ admits here that it was a joke
00:08:02.060 because they were all wearing
00:08:03.440 big, fluffy onesies
00:08:05.880 and still they made a story about it.
00:08:08.840 Isn't that interesting?
00:08:10.540 In the filing, Baldoni's team says
00:08:12.380 Justin was apologizing
00:08:14.000 if this remark was inappropriate.
00:08:16.500 A couple of minutes later,
00:08:17.880 during prep for the same scene,
00:08:20.500 Justin says, well, my apologies
00:08:22.480 while talking to Blake and Jenny
00:08:24.440 and Blake responds, all good.
00:08:27.200 I mean, can you imagine working on a set?
00:08:29.400 Where every little word that you use
00:08:31.560 or everything that you say
00:08:32.560 can be twisted around.
00:08:34.440 And at this point,
00:08:35.280 for Justin to come to this set,
00:08:37.420 can you imagine the terror
00:08:38.960 for him to be on that set
00:08:40.860 every day with these women?
00:08:42.300 Because Jenny Slate
00:08:43.200 was really on team Blake
00:08:44.820 all the way from the start.
00:08:46.940 So why does TMZ
00:08:48.340 want to twist a story
00:08:50.080 from evidence
00:08:51.120 that Justin Baldoni filed?
00:08:53.160 Because this is from the video
00:08:54.120 that he filed.
00:08:55.500 And try and twist it
00:08:56.760 into something negative for him
00:08:58.440 because that's what
00:08:59.040 they're doing here.
00:08:59.760 They're saying it was a joke,
00:09:01.260 but they're still trying
00:09:02.280 to twist things around.
00:09:03.700 They're trying to take
00:09:04.400 a harmless moment
00:09:05.260 and strip away the context.
00:09:07.400 They're showing like five seconds here
00:09:09.280 of an eight-minute video.
00:09:10.780 And then they're just slapping
00:09:11.940 this sensational headline on it,
00:09:14.300 making it seem like
00:09:15.920 Justin is guilty of something.
00:09:19.100 This doesn't prove harassment at all.
00:09:21.160 It just proves the opposite.
00:09:22.820 And I find it especially interesting
00:09:24.900 when thinking about this poll
00:09:26.700 that TMZ did last week
00:09:29.120 because they were publishing
00:09:30.020 a story about this kiss
00:09:31.860 that Justin Baldoni says
00:09:34.620 that Blake Lively improvised,
00:09:36.440 that story that was headlines
00:09:37.880 everywhere last week.
00:09:39.300 They posted on Instagram
00:09:40.940 that story, pushing that story.
00:09:43.900 And then they added a poll
00:09:45.540 asking people,
00:09:47.000 do you believe Justin
00:09:48.140 or do you believe Blake?
00:09:49.860 And from this poll,
00:09:52.120 at the time when I took
00:09:53.520 this screenshot,
00:09:54.500 it was 61,700 responses.
00:09:58.660 And 91% say that they believe
00:10:01.200 Justin Baldoni.
00:10:02.720 And 9% say that they believe Blake.
00:10:05.540 I don't know how many
00:10:06.420 of those 9% are bots,
00:10:07.820 but I'm assuming about 8% of them.
00:10:10.700 But the interesting thing here is
00:10:12.220 that 90% of the public
00:10:13.940 actually believes
00:10:14.880 Justin Baldoni here.
00:10:16.200 So what do you think
00:10:16.920 happened to this poll
00:10:17.940 that they had on their grid
00:10:19.800 on Instagram?
00:10:21.380 It disappeared.
00:10:23.200 It's gone.
00:10:24.140 Yeah, I went into TMZ's Instagram
00:10:25.760 and I could not find
00:10:27.460 this post anymore.
00:10:28.900 They just removed it.
00:10:30.400 Keep in mind that TMZ knows
00:10:31.860 that 91% of their readers
00:10:33.680 don't believe Blake Lively
00:10:35.240 and they still publish stories
00:10:37.600 to push her narrative.
00:10:39.600 Why?
00:10:40.340 So let's get quickly
00:10:41.320 into this new filing
00:10:42.480 from Blake and Ryan.
00:10:44.120 They brought Ryan into this
00:10:45.360 all of a sudden again
00:10:46.200 and everyone's like,
00:10:47.100 why did they file this together?
00:10:49.040 And the short answer
00:10:50.420 for that is
00:10:51.060 because there's a bigger chance
00:10:52.480 that the media
00:10:52.980 will pick up something
00:10:53.940 if both Blake and Ryan
00:10:55.480 are involved.
00:10:56.860 So then they file
00:10:57.900 this desperate stupid thing
00:10:59.600 in hopes that someone
00:11:00.980 would pick it up.
00:11:02.300 I haven't seen anyone
00:11:03.260 do that so far.
00:11:04.680 So what they're saying
00:11:05.380 in this letter
00:11:05.880 to the judge
00:11:06.600 is that he should sanction
00:11:08.140 Baldoni and the Wayfarer.
00:11:09.960 Have you heard this before?
00:11:11.480 Anyway,
00:11:11.700 they're saying now
00:11:12.520 that since they have deposed
00:11:14.760 Steve Sarawitz
00:11:16.060 and Jennifer Abel,
00:11:18.260 they now know
00:11:19.900 that they didn't have
00:11:21.740 a reason
00:11:22.660 to sue
00:11:24.340 Ryan and Blake
00:11:25.980 and that's why
00:11:27.440 they want the judge
00:11:28.680 now to sanction them.
00:11:30.200 So they're saying
00:11:30.860 that Steve Sarawitz
00:11:32.580 admitted he didn't really
00:11:33.860 have a factual basis
00:11:35.260 for the claim
00:11:36.100 he filed against
00:11:37.260 Blake and Ryan.
00:11:38.400 As you know,
00:11:39.000 all these people
00:11:39.440 came together
00:11:40.320 and did a countersuit
00:11:41.820 against Blake Lively,
00:11:43.340 Ryan Reynolds
00:11:43.880 and Leslie Sloan
00:11:45.020 and the New York Times.
00:11:46.640 And now they're saying
00:11:47.340 that Steve
00:11:48.620 and then Jennifer Abel
00:11:49.780 supposedly admitted
00:11:50.980 the same thing
00:11:51.940 that she personally
00:11:53.080 couldn't articulate
00:11:54.220 the facts behind
00:11:55.300 some of those claims.
00:11:57.200 And funny part is here,
00:11:58.900 they didn't even put
00:12:00.280 in this letter
00:12:01.560 what those comments
00:12:03.680 actually were
00:12:04.700 or what they actually
00:12:05.820 admitted
00:12:06.640 because that part
00:12:08.420 they blacked out.
00:12:10.060 So there's no evidence
00:12:11.820 there.
00:12:12.460 So this so-called
00:12:13.320 shocking testimony
00:12:15.000 and we can't even see it.
00:12:18.380 So instead of responding
00:12:19.820 to Justin's filing,
00:12:21.680 they're saying to the judge,
00:12:22.840 don't look at all
00:12:23.580 that evidence over there.
00:12:24.900 Look at this,
00:12:25.740 they're the problem.
00:12:27.120 Yeah, so now they're hoping
00:12:28.060 that when they pulled
00:12:29.340 Ryan back into this
00:12:30.780 that he's also asking
00:12:32.240 for sanctions here
00:12:33.340 that the media
00:12:34.360 will pick it up
00:12:35.360 and that's the only reason
00:12:36.900 why they filed this letter
00:12:38.640 because there's no way
00:12:40.120 the judge is going
00:12:41.120 to look at this now.
00:12:42.340 That case was dismissed
00:12:43.720 in May or June
00:12:45.400 and he's not going
00:12:46.500 to look at this stuff now.
00:12:47.900 Like, where is this
00:12:48.920 coming from?
00:12:49.960 Randomly,
00:12:50.580 the day after
00:12:51.520 Justin Baldoni
00:12:52.220 filed all this
00:12:53.400 revealing evidence?
00:12:55.020 No.
00:12:55.780 And this again
00:12:56.540 just proves
00:12:57.360 that they had
00:12:58.660 nothing.
00:13:00.100 Okay, now we have
00:13:00.860 to get to the wildest
00:13:01.940 part of Justin Baldoni's
00:13:03.720 testimony.
00:13:04.180 When I read this,
00:13:05.220 I was like,
00:13:05.760 I don't know,
00:13:06.280 I can't even believe
00:13:07.300 this happened.
00:13:08.300 So,
00:13:09.000 this is about
00:13:09.940 hugging on the set.
00:13:11.840 Okay, so I have to
00:13:12.540 read this from
00:13:13.660 their deposition here
00:13:15.160 or from the testimony
00:13:15.920 because it just like
00:13:17.260 the way it unfolds.
00:13:19.000 I mean,
00:13:19.460 how can you keep
00:13:20.200 a straight face
00:13:21.060 when asking
00:13:21.760 these questions?
00:13:23.060 So,
00:13:23.500 Mr. Gottlieb,
00:13:24.480 Blake Lively's attorney
00:13:25.560 is asking
00:13:26.580 Justin Baldoni
00:13:27.620 these questions.
00:13:28.820 So,
00:13:29.060 he starts asking,
00:13:30.200 okay,
00:13:30.560 you hugged
00:13:31.340 Miss Lively
00:13:32.200 on multiple occasions
00:13:33.600 on the set,
00:13:34.480 right?
00:13:35.220 And Baldoni says,
00:13:36.100 yes.
00:13:36.760 Every day,
00:13:38.140 Baldoni says,
00:13:38.820 no.
00:13:39.920 How many times
00:13:40.980 would you estimate
00:13:41.900 that I hugged
00:13:43.560 Miss Lively?
00:13:44.940 And Gottlieb says,
00:13:46.100 on the set.
00:13:46.780 So,
00:13:46.940 not outside of the set
00:13:48.120 environment,
00:13:48.760 but at work
00:13:49.580 on the set.
00:13:51.040 And Baldoni says,
00:13:52.080 are these hugs,
00:13:53.120 I'm so sorry,
00:13:54.640 are these hugs
00:13:55.460 that I initiated
00:13:56.560 or are these hugs
00:13:57.920 that I was recipient of?
00:13:59.800 You can characterize it
00:14:01.060 however you'd like,
00:14:02.640 says her lawyer.
00:14:03.980 And Baldoni says,
00:14:04.760 I just want to be
00:14:05.540 as accurate
00:14:06.420 in my testimony
00:14:07.420 as possible.
00:14:08.680 Okay.
00:14:09.580 As it relates
00:14:10.400 to the hugging,
00:14:11.460 that was my question.
00:14:12.820 What was the question?
00:14:14.060 Which one?
00:14:15.060 Gottlieb says,
00:14:16.040 you can include hugs
00:14:17.300 that you believe
00:14:18.020 you initiated
00:14:18.820 and hugs you believe
00:14:19.880 Miss Lively initiated.
00:14:22.580 And Baldoni says,
00:14:23.880 like,
00:14:24.320 lump them all together?
00:14:25.940 And then he says,
00:14:27.040 yeah,
00:14:27.200 sure,
00:14:27.660 best estimate.
00:14:29.060 Okay.
00:14:30.000 Yes,
00:14:30.400 number of times,
00:14:31.820 says Gottlieb.
00:14:32.400 And then Baldoni says,
00:14:33.840 maybe a greeting,
00:14:35.220 maybe a greeting
00:14:36.180 and an exit.
00:14:37.880 So at the most,
00:14:38.720 maybe,
00:14:39.320 again,
00:14:39.800 I don't know,
00:14:40.420 I don't know,
00:14:41.020 I don't know.
00:14:41.500 That's my answer to you,
00:14:42.740 Mr. Gottlieb.
00:14:43.460 I don't know.
00:14:45.220 And then Mr. Gottlieb says,
00:14:46.620 fair enough.
00:14:47.560 And when you don't know,
00:14:48.920 that's what I always want
00:14:50.220 your answer to be.
00:14:51.700 I don't know,
00:14:52.720 says Baldoni.
00:14:53.400 Do you know who Vivian Baker is?
00:14:56.380 Asks Blake's attorney.
00:14:59.260 Vivian Baker is Miss Lively's makeup artist,
00:15:01.560 I believe,
00:15:02.180 says Baldoni.
00:15:03.500 Do you know that she testified under oath in this case?
00:15:07.940 Baldoni says,
00:15:08.780 I assume her testimony would be under oath.
00:15:12.620 Then Gottlieb says,
00:15:14.720 do you know that she testified under oath in this case?
00:15:18.280 Yes,
00:15:18.880 says Baldoni.
00:15:19.640 Are you aware that she testified that there were a culture of hugging on the set of It
00:15:24.280 Ends With Us?
00:15:25.660 I am now,
00:15:27.480 says Baldoni.
00:15:28.580 Are you aware that she said that that made a number of people uncomfortable?
00:15:34.940 I find that odd,
00:15:37.220 says Baldoni.
00:15:38.600 You find that odd?
00:15:39.880 Why?
00:15:40.740 Asks Gottlieb.
00:15:42.300 Because Mrs. Baker was often the one that would run up and give me a hug.
00:15:47.660 I love this.
00:15:48.940 This is the best part,
00:15:50.240 you guys.
00:15:50.940 And then Blake's lawyer says,
00:15:52.580 and because of that,
00:15:53.620 you find it odd that she testified that a number of people felt uncomfortable with the
00:15:57.920 culture of hugging on the set of It Ends With Us?
00:16:01.040 Correct,
00:16:01.660 says Baldoni.
00:16:04.040 And then he just completely changes the subject.
00:16:06.680 And he's like,
00:16:07.220 do you remember earlier when you testified about the hot tub?
00:16:10.440 And then Baldoni says,
00:16:11.560 you're referring to what?
00:16:12.820 S-H?
00:16:13.460 So he testified that he felt that he was S-H'd by this producer when he was in a hot tub earlier.
00:16:20.180 And of course,
00:16:20.860 because Blake's attorney at this point realized that he made a fool of himself because actually
00:16:26.760 Blake's makeup artist was the one hugging Baldoni and not the other way around.
00:16:31.560 And that just makes this whole thing so ridiculous.
00:16:37.320 And because of all of this,
00:16:38.580 that's why Baldoni attached that video evidence that I showed last week when people were coming
00:16:43.780 up to him,
00:16:44.720 initiating hugs and giving him hugs.
00:16:48.240 And then some people have pointed out that it looks like also Isabella Ferrer in that video
00:16:54.480 that you can see here that she was trying to hug him and he blocked her.
00:17:00.380 So that whole thing of the culture of hugging,
00:17:03.740 which is like,
00:17:04.760 I do understand some people are not huggers and everyone has to respect that.
00:17:09.920 But this whole thing is so dumb,
00:17:12.320 especially now we know that Vivian Baker,
00:17:15.500 Blake Lively's makeup artist has agreed to testify that there was a culture of hugging
00:17:21.360 while she herself is a hugger who ran up to Justin to hug him.
00:17:27.180 All these contradictions are just coming out of all this evidence.
00:17:30.820 And it just makes me really laugh.
00:17:33.120 People magazine actually did a story on this,
00:17:35.380 which I was quite impressed with.
00:17:37.000 They said Justin Baldoni responds to claim that he fostered a culture of hugging on the sets.
00:17:44.620 Remember they also used the word toxic positivity about the set that it was too positive,
00:17:50.060 that people felt really like uncomfortable around it.
00:17:53.300 I mean,
00:17:53.580 when you look at Justin Baldoni's deposition and the way that he's interrogated by Blake Lively's
00:17:59.300 attorneys,
00:18:00.200 it's so clear what they're doing right here.
00:18:02.900 I feel like I've seen this been done in movies so many times when you're trying to get someone to
00:18:08.480 look guilty and you know that they're innocent and they're just twisting and twisting and
00:18:13.540 twisting things around,
00:18:15.020 trying to make you to go into some kind of trap that they can twist that around again against you.
00:18:21.400 And what they're doing here,
00:18:22.720 what we've seen in this deposition so far,
00:18:26.100 that they're trying to make Justin look like a man who doesn't know boundaries and who crosses
00:18:31.560 boundaries.
00:18:32.260 And they're using things that he's said in the past against him.
00:18:36.480 They're going after his character because they can't go after the facts because they don't have
00:18:41.360 any facts.
00:18:42.340 They go into his history,
00:18:44.260 like going 20 years back,
00:18:45.860 asking about his ex-girlfriends.
00:18:47.840 They're also asking about a hot tub incident that Justin has talked about in Glamour magazine.
00:18:53.440 I think he spoke about that incident that happened to him when he felt as aged by this man.
00:19:00.780 And they're using this against him and asking him basically,
00:19:05.020 couldn't you just beat up that guy?
00:19:07.060 They're trying to make his self-awareness into guilt.
00:19:10.820 They're trying everything they can in their power to smear his character.
00:19:16.540 And then they're asking him a lot about that comment he made to Jenny Slate when he said that
00:19:21.720 her leather pants looked sexy.
00:19:23.920 And he's saying that he was even saying that in front of his own wife.
00:19:27.220 It was an impulsive throwaway comment.
00:19:30.740 And it wasn't repeated after that.
00:19:32.700 But Blake's lawyers just dragged that out for pages asking him about that comment.
00:19:38.820 So apparently what happened was that Jenny Slate had these leather pants on and walked onto set.
00:19:43.200 And Justin said,
00:19:44.080 Wow, those pants look sexy on you.
00:19:46.000 That was too much for Jenny Slate.
00:19:47.880 She could not handle that anyone said her pants were sexy.
00:19:51.880 That's why this is the big question.
00:19:54.120 I saw this on Reddit yesterday and I was like,
00:19:56.680 Wow, this is so revealing.
00:19:59.240 So Jenny Slate posted this video on her Instagram and it says,
00:20:05.680 Dressed up to promote it ends with us,
00:20:08.160 but pleased to announce my new short film shown here in full entitled
00:20:13.140 Mom's Rump starring me.
00:20:16.320 And yes, I love this outfit, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:18.540 So she is shaking her touche through this completely see-through dress.
00:20:25.100 So we can all see her bum, but she cannot handle if someone says that her pants are sexy.
00:20:31.720 That she feels is harassment.
00:20:33.620 But she has no issues showing her bum to the entire world shaking it on Instagram.
00:20:40.540 I'm wondering when she's on the stand in this trial as a witness and Baldoni's lawyer is asking her,
00:20:48.820 What was the look you were going for here?
00:20:51.080 Would you say this look is classy?
00:20:53.520 Or maybe you would say this look is,
00:20:55.600 Were you trying to be sexy here?
00:20:57.000 So then she has to deny that she doesn't want to look sexy.
00:21:00.640 Because to me, if you're wearing something that is a bit revealing,
00:21:04.780 You're going for a look that makes you look sexy.
00:21:08.560 But then you don't want anyone to point out that you're going for the look of trying to be sexy.
00:21:13.700 You just want to be sexy.
00:21:15.220 I mean, how hypocritical is that?
00:21:17.040 Talking about Jenny Slate's Instagram,
00:21:18.780 She has like 900,000 followers on Instagram.
00:21:22.680 And I saw most of her posts have like 200 likes.
00:21:25.820 That doesn't add up at all.
00:21:27.700 I wonder if she's using the same company as Blake and Ryan.
00:21:30.920 And I also saw this on Reddit, which is so funny.
00:21:35.540 So this is a screenshot of Blake and Ryan's social media and how they're losing like tens of thousands of followers every single day.
00:21:45.200 And then all of a sudden on Friday, the 7th of November, both got a big boost.
00:21:51.680 So Ryan Reynolds all of a sudden got 22,000 new followers that day.
00:21:56.300 And nothing special happened that day.
00:21:58.200 And Blake got 16,000 new followers.
00:22:01.260 And then the next day again, everything just kept dropping again.
00:22:05.080 Like this person was commenting on Reddit saying,
00:22:08.040 Hey, this is probably the day that they're paying the bots to boost their accounts.
00:22:12.160 Anyways, also on Reddit, someone pointed out that apparently Blake has more Instagram followers than Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, and Nicole Kidman combined.
00:22:21.820 And more than Reese Witherspoon and Angelina Jolie.
00:22:26.200 Not at all bot suspicious, this person is saying.
00:22:29.860 So true.
00:22:30.720 I did a deep dive into both Blake and Ryan's social media accounts a few months ago.
00:22:36.720 And I found some really interesting stuff there on who their followers are and the engagement on their accounts.
00:22:43.780 And I think I found out that probably approximately about 80 or 90% of their followers are bots.
00:22:49.860 So here's another example where this person added a screenshot of Blake's followers.
00:22:55.840 As you can see here, a lot of them are even using the same profile picture.
00:23:00.440 Oh my God, it's so pathetic.
00:23:02.960 Anyway, before I go, I wanted to say that I actually watched Sidney Sweeney's new movie, Christy.
00:23:09.120 And I have to say, being a movie about DV, because that is what that movie is about.
00:23:15.500 It's so powerful.
00:23:17.100 Oh, it's so much better than it ends with us.
00:23:20.860 And it really grabbed me.
00:23:24.000 I know a lot of people have issues with Sidney Sweeney, but she is so freaking good in that movie.
00:23:30.720 And if you can see past all the controversy and go and watch the movie for what it is,
00:23:36.000 it is really one of my favorite movies this year.
00:23:38.780 And I think that the story deserves to be heard and to be seen.
00:23:42.440 Also, if you missed my interview with the wonderful, amazing 99-year-old Elaine Lalain that I published this weekend,
00:23:53.700 I really recommend watching that.
00:23:55.660 It will be a good therapy after listening to this episode about all this drama,
00:23:59.640 because she's turning 100 in March and she has so much wisdom about life, about relationships, about careers.
00:24:08.200 And I just find her so inspiring.
00:24:11.540 I'll leave a link below to that interview so you can watch it.
00:24:14.680 That's it for me, you guys.
00:24:15.760 But just a reminder before I go, you can download Tiki Solitaire Tribe Peaks for free from the link in my description
00:24:23.720 and get 10,000 free coins.
00:24:27.200 See you soon.
00:24:28.580 Bye.
