00:00:00.000 He wants to annihilate people and watch them vaporize into nothing when he doesn't like them.
00:00:11.800 Hi and welcome to Blossom Talk. I'm Tja Stig Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,
00:00:16.500 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion. And that's my executive producer,
00:00:23.200 Oscar. Anyways, yesterday I broke the news that Victoria Burke, the founder or the architect
00:00:29.100 behind that Me Too law that Blake Lively is now weaponizing, she came out on her own social media
00:00:36.460 and said she doesn't support what Blake is doing and she doesn't think that she should get a single
00:00:42.880 dollar in attorney's fees covered. This is major. I am talking to Victoria later today. We have an
00:00:51.240 interview set up and I'm gonna ask her a lot of questions amongst other things why she suddenly
00:00:56.820 changed her mind about this because in the beginning of this drama when Justin Baldoni's
00:01:02.420 lawsuit was dismissed Victoria came out and supported the judge's decision on that. So yeah
00:01:08.540 I have a lot of questions for her so please stay tuned on my channel and subscribe if you haven't
00:01:13.640 yet. A lot more revealing and interesting stuff is coming out and Blake Lively is at it again. She
00:01:19.620 posted another flirty photo of her husband Ryan Reynolds on her Instagram story holding one of her
00:01:26.700 $50,000 bags. Talking about advocacy, just as her attorney said on the steps outside the courtroom
00:01:35.280 the other day, you will see a lot more advocacy from Blake Lively and how she supports women.
00:01:41.960 But first, she needs to convince the world that her husband is really sexy. And where's her husband
00:01:48.540 when all of this is going on? Well, he's in Australia with his other wife, Hugh Jackman,
00:01:53.860 drinking beer from a shoe. Talking about Ryan, someone sent me this very interesting quote that
00:02:00.980 he said a while back. And this explains everything about what he did to Justin Baldoni. He wants to
00:02:11.140 annihilate people and watch them vaporize into nothing when he doesn't like them. Also, let's
00:02:18.300 look at another one of Blake and Ryan's supporters, Salma Hayek. As someone said to me in a DM the
00:02:24.040 other day, what does Blake and Ryan have on Salma? Let's look into that and also this Easter egg from
00:02:32.400 Taylor Swift that I completely missed. Also, I just wanted to mention what Manat put on their
00:02:39.100 website. As you know, Manat is one of the main attorney firms representing Blake Vivalry in this
00:02:44.900 case. She has several of them. I think she has about 15 or 20 attorneys working for her and that
00:02:50.140 is also why she has a bill of about 30 million dollars so far for fighting this case. But
00:02:56.280 anyways, this is what Manat put on their website. They're saying a Manat team led by employment
00:03:03.880 and labor leader Ezra Hudson secured a favorable and critically important settlement for Blake
00:03:10.140 in her case against Justin Baldoni and the Wafer Studios. So this was actually on their LinkedIn
00:03:17.580 and I spoke about it here on my channel and the next day they removed it from LinkedIn but it is
00:03:23.760 on their website still. But the interesting thing here is how Ezra Hudson has lobbied for this Me Too
00:03:30.840 law and how she has been willing to take advantage of a real survivor like Victoria Burke to make
00:03:38.700 herself look noble and that she is supporting the right case. And then they're quoting this law
00:03:44.560 called Section 47.1, this Me Too law, saying it imposes severe and mandatory penalties against
00:03:52.440 plaintiffs like Baldoni and other wayfair parties who unsuccessfully file retaliatory defamation
00:03:58.900 against SH and retaliation complaints like Lively. The thing is, Blake Lively could never prove
00:04:07.300 that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfair parties filed that lawsuit with malice,
00:04:12.780 meaning the reason why they filed the lawsuit was to harm Blake Lively.
00:04:17.160 The reason they filed the lawsuit was to defend themselves
00:04:20.060 and also to get the truth out there to the public.
00:04:24.040 Anyways, then they're quoting everything they agreed on,
00:04:27.340 this settlement statement that they later weaponized against Baldoni,
00:04:32.020 saying that he admitted to guilt because Blake deserved to be heard.
00:04:37.840 And that was the same thing in their eyes.
00:04:40.320 But the interesting thing here, down at the bottom here,
00:04:43.420 they're saying, learn more about the settlement here.
00:04:46.580 And you click on it and voila, here is a deadline article written by Dominic Patton.
00:04:55.380 I'm sure you heard me talk about him before.
00:04:57.720 every single article that he has written for Deadline is pro-Blake Lively. And here we go.
00:05:05.480 They're even linking to their mouthpiece in Deadline on their website. And it says here,
00:05:13.960 it doesn't really end with this. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's settlement details revealed
00:05:19.320 resounding victory for actress lawyers say with more court action looming.
00:05:26.140 I spoke to Brian Friedman about this and he said, you know, there is no settlement details that hasn't been revealed because there are no other details.
00:05:35.360 He's saying there's no confidentiality involved here.
00:05:38.620 No one signed NDAs about anything.
00:05:41.700 So these details that are revealed are just BS because they're available to all of us.
00:05:47.840 And the only thing that came out of that settlement was that statement.
00:05:51.440 And of course, in this article as well, there is a quote, surprise, surprise, from Michael
00:05:56.980 Gottlieb and Ezra Hudson, saying that this settlement is a resounding victory for Blake
00:06:03.220 Lively.
00:06:04.440 Anyways, I just wanted to mention that to put things more in perspective on how Blake Lively's
00:06:09.400 attorneys are working here.
00:06:11.060 I'm sure we're going to get a lot more information on that after my conversation with Victoria.
00:06:16.020 Anyways, when I saw Blake posted on Instagram a photo of Ryan, obviously it's Ryan, her husband, and she cut the head off.
00:06:24.500 And according to People Magazine, who obviously picked this up or picked this up, who obviously did a story on it because Leslie Sloan, Blake's publicist, told them to, could reveal that this bag that Ryan is holding costs between $25,000 to $50,000.
00:06:42.340 how relatable is that especially after blake's lawyer as i said came out and said that you will
00:06:50.040 see a lot of advocacy from her in the future so this i guess is just the beginning of that
00:06:56.080 i mean talking about tone deaf anyways so here's people magazine's headline blake lively shares
00:07:01.640 flirty photo of ryan reynolds with 26 000 bag my account has turned into an o f uh i don't think i
00:07:10.100 can say that word here on youtube for some reason but uh it's interesting that they added that it
00:07:14.960 costs 26 000 in the headline i think maybe this journalist is like i don't want to write this
00:07:20.300 story so i'm gonna add a little dig at blake in the headline here because this is not making her
00:07:26.960 look very good and then they're reminding us here the actress recently shared a thirst trap featuring
00:07:32.840 reynolds muscles i spoke about this yesterday why they're using these words as yummy as i mentioned
00:07:39.100 yesterday and this is another attempt to bury those text messages that specific text message
00:07:45.260 that Blake sent to Justin Baldoni calling herself yummy and without teeth and she's a ball buster
00:07:51.960 and all that stuff they're really working hard or Nick Shapiro I think I believe he's behind this
00:07:57.580 this CIA guy who knows a lot about SEO and manipulation he is obviously helping her to bury
00:08:03.980 all this information that got out to the public through the lawsuit.
00:08:08.280 And then they're reminding us what she said in that photo the other day on her Instagram story.
00:08:13.200 I mean, how is this a new story?
00:08:14.760 They don't do any stories like this on any other celebrities.
00:08:17.700 This is so ridiculous.
00:08:20.180 And at the bottom here, they're saying this.
00:08:22.540 The actress attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute annual fashion event,
00:08:28.260 taking to the iconic Met Steps in an archival atelier Versace gown from spring 2006,
00:08:36.520 accessorizing with custom Lorraine Swartz jewelry.
00:08:40.300 At the time, an exclusive source told People that Lively seemed strong, confident, fearless on the red carpet.
00:08:49.520 Why do you think they add those three words in there?
00:08:51.980 They keep mentioning this exact same information in every single article.
00:08:59.220 So Blake Lively can be associated with strong, confident, and fearless.
00:09:06.280 Just taking a quick look at the comments here.
00:09:09.040 People are really reacting to the price of this bag.
00:09:12.400 And that was not Blake's intent when she posted this, obviously.
00:09:16.180 Someone's saying here that she says her account has turned into OF.
00:09:19.340 well she'll need to do OF soon as she became irrelevant in Hollywood since her fake case
00:09:25.040 against Baldoni no one wants to go anywhere near her just her now just desserts and then someone
00:09:30.840 saying Ryan wearing a purse is yet another hint I think I get it already talking about that of
00:09:37.660 course this photo is obviously not recent either I think she's just going through her phone she
00:09:42.720 doesn't have much to do right now because Ryan is not there with her he is in Australia with his
00:09:48.380 other wife Hugh Jackman and he posted a video with Hugh Jackman the other day as you know they
00:09:54.740 bought the sailing team and now they have a deal with Disney for some reason to do a documentary
00:10:00.420 series on the sailing team and they did this tradition that I think is something that they're
00:10:06.220 doing the sailing world or in Australia I don't know but they were drinking out of a shoe and I
00:10:11.220 noticed that Hugh Jackman did not do a collaboration with The Real with Ryan Reynolds he posted it on
00:10:17.780 his and Ryan posted it on his and of course as you know Ryan has to close off the comments on
00:10:23.660 his Instagram but Hugh Jackman has his comments open and I was looking through the comments there
00:10:29.220 were over a thousand I didn't look through all of them but it was interesting how I couldn't find
00:10:33.720 one single negative comment about Ryan Reynolds on Hugh Jackman's web Instagram isn't that a bit
00:10:40.980 suspicious yeah I wonder what Ryan Reynolds has on Hugh Jackman as someone said to me in a
00:10:47.640 dm the other day what does ryan and blake have on sama hayek and her husband for her to go out
00:10:54.320 publicly and support her like that let's look into that and this hidden message from taylor swift
00:11:01.700 but before we talk about that i wanted to thank the sponsor of this video quince since coming to
00:11:07.680 majorca i've been living in everything that i got from quince everything is just so comfortable and
00:11:14.880 they're high quality and they just work with everything. This shirt that I'm wearing now is
00:11:19.380 one of my absolute favorites and it goes so well with this pair of shorts that I got. It's lightweight,
00:11:25.620 it's breathable and this top as well, 100% linen, so comfortable and looks good with almost
00:11:32.360 everything. I guess you also see me wearing this necklace all the time. I love pairing it with
00:11:38.200 other things as well or just wearing it by itself and I don't know what I would have done without
00:11:43.500 this scarf. This scarf is 100% cashmere. I had it on the flight over here to Mallorca and it's just
00:11:51.460 the perfect summer wrap wherever you are and it also looks so stylish and it's 100% Mongolian
00:11:59.140 cashmere. And as I've shown you before my leather jacket that I had to leave in LA but also one of
00:12:05.100 my favorite basics that I totally fell in love with. To me quality is so much more important
00:12:10.640 than quantity like 100% linen 100% cashmere silk leather but their prices are still so reasonable
00:12:19.720 because they cut out the middlemen plus everything is made in factories that meet high ethical and
00:12:25.840 manufacturing standards so why not elevate your summer for less head to queens.com slash
00:12:32.700 my name for free shipping on your order and a 365 day return now available in Canada too
00:12:41.460 that's q-u-i-n-c-e dot com slash kersti for free shipping and 365 day return okay so let's get
00:12:50.580 back into it so as I said someone sent me a message asking you know what do you think
00:12:55.340 that Blake and Ryan has on Salma?
00:12:58.120 Why did she voluntarily walk on the streets in New York
00:13:04.500 next to Blake Lively in the middle of this legal mess?
00:13:09.400 She knew that it would backfire on her.
00:13:12.200 And I remember it did.
00:13:14.380 People went to Salma Hayek's Instagram
00:13:16.720 and they started trolling it.
00:13:18.820 So she knew that that was a huge risk.
00:13:21.300 And that also makes me believe
00:13:22.920 that this person is onto something.
00:13:25.340 Because remember what Blake did to her very best friend, Taylor Swift.
00:13:30.240 She blackmailed her.
00:13:32.920 And I went in to find that sworn statement, that affidavit from Brian Friedman at the time.
00:13:40.480 Remember, it blew up everywhere that Blake had blackmailed Taylor Swift.
00:13:46.100 And when you look at what he suggested here, what Blake had done to her BFF,
00:13:52.040 I would not be surprised if they're using the same strategy all over Hollywood there's some
00:13:59.640 other interesting details here that I also wanted to get into so Brian Friedman said this came out
00:14:05.820 in February of last year he said on February 14 2025 I received a voicemail from a person very
00:14:13.580 closely linked to Taylor Swift whom I subsequently called back the same day out of respect for the
00:14:20.780 individual in question. I'm not identifying them at this time. However, should the court
00:14:25.480 direct me to do so, I will comply with the court's order. It was later known that this was Taylor
00:14:32.060 Swift's father. He also said during the February 14 phone call, which lasted approximately one
00:14:38.380 hour, the speaker told me that they had been informed that J. Douglas Baldrige, counsel for
00:14:45.680 Taylor Swift and a partner at Venable LLP had received a phone call from Michael Gottlieb
00:14:52.060 counsel for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds during which Mr. Gottlieb requested on Ms. Lively's behalf
00:14:59.580 that Taylor Swift make a social media statement in support of Ms. Lively given her absence from
00:15:06.120 the Super Bowl that year and stated that if Ms. Swift failed to do so Ms. Lively would release
00:15:12.300 10 years of private text messages with Miss Swift. The individual also told me that they
00:15:17.980 had been informed that Mr. Baldred had accused Mr. Gottlieb of extortion and ended the call.
00:15:25.400 During the same February 14th call, the individual told me they had been informed that four or five
00:15:33.780 months earlier, Miss Lively had requested that Miss Swift delete her text messages with Miss
00:15:40.960 lively so four or five months earlier from that february phone call that's what i'm assuming which
00:15:47.380 would be like september ish september october blake called taylor and said hey just delete
00:15:54.940 all our previous text messages meaning that i believe that there were a lot more text messages
00:16:00.780 between blake and taylor that we've seen if she asked taylor to delete the text she must have
00:16:07.120 deleted our own text messages too but anyways it continues I was connected to this individual
00:16:13.020 through a mutual friend who informed me that the individual wanted to talk we have had several
00:16:17.920 phone calls since February 14th on a later call with the same individual the individual told me
00:16:24.360 that Mr. Baldridge had sent a written communication to Mr. Gottlieb relating to their phone conversation
00:16:30.540 My office issued a subpoena to Venable LLP for the purpose of seeking the aforementioned written communication signed by Brian Friedman.
00:16:40.840 So to my point again, Blake was willing to do this to her best friend.
00:16:45.200 Of course, they're doing it to other people in Hollywood as well.
00:16:48.320 And as one of my insiders pointed out to me, look at that photo, that photo shoot that
00:16:54.540 Blake did with Hugh Jackman when they did a cover story for Vogue around the time of
00:17:01.000 the premiere of It Ends With Us.
00:17:03.360 Blake is holding a Cartier diamond necklace that belongs to Elizabeth Taylor.
00:17:09.300 In Taylor Swift's song, Elizabeth Taylor, which would have been written around the time
00:17:14.240 of this shoot her lyrics are be my new york when hollywood hates me i would try i would trade the
00:17:21.620 cartier for someone to trust yeah let me know what you think about that was taylor swift referring
00:17:27.920 to blake lively in her song my same insider also mentioned this to me which is quite interesting
00:17:33.680 i spoke about new york times another article that they did a couple of days ago doubling down on
00:17:39.680 how they've been reporting on this case from the beginning.
00:17:42.760 But it's interesting now when you look at this story that they did in August of 2024
00:17:49.340 and how they were going after Blake Lively
00:17:53.600 and how all of that was just forgotten a few months later.
00:17:58.600 So they did this story saying it ends with us,
00:18:01.480 the press tour drama explained what's happening on screen
00:18:05.900 has become secondary to the conversation
00:18:08.000 about differences between Blake and Justin,
00:18:10.740 her co-star and director.
00:18:12.300 And then they quoted Justin Baldoni
00:18:14.540 on how he was promoting the movie.
00:18:17.100 If a Lily Bloom in real life can sit in the theaters
00:18:19.340 and make a different choice for herself
00:18:21.640 than the one that was made for her,
00:18:23.320 maybe she sees herself on the screen
00:18:24.960 and chooses something different for herself.
00:18:26.780 Baldoni said in a red carpet interview
00:18:29.140 and the Wayfair Party also partnered
00:18:31.180 with No More Foundation,
00:18:32.680 they're mentioning here,
00:18:33.720 to provide resources and information.
00:18:36.400 And then they're mentioning how Blake Lively promoted the movie,
00:18:39.100 saying Lively's promotion of the movie has included a push
00:18:41.540 for her new haircare line, discussions of the clothes in the movie
00:18:44.880 and responses to questions about abuse,
00:18:47.080 which have been criticized as shallow and tone-deaf.
00:18:50.300 On the official events with us movie TikTok page,
00:18:52.780 Lively says, grab your friends, wear your floors
00:18:54.800 and head out to see it.
00:18:56.960 To some social media users, that seems off for a film about DV
00:19:00.660 and has inspired TikToks of people mocking her light approach.
00:19:04.620 One TikTok user has posted a series titled
00:19:07.400 If Other Movies Were Promoted Like It Ends With Us.
00:19:10.300 In one video, she says,
00:19:11.920 Calling all boy moms, grab your snacks and bring your son
00:19:15.460 to the family movie of the year, Requiem for a Dream,
00:19:19.080 only in theaters, not in your mind.
00:19:21.300 Baldoni, by contrast, has emphasized the importance
00:19:24.120 of raising awareness of DV and providing resources
00:19:27.660 for those in similar situations.
00:19:30.060 Yeah, isn't that interesting when you see that now
00:19:33.240 and how New York Times completely forgot about all of this
00:19:37.180 when they published that story, We Can Bury Anyone.
00:19:41.360 All of a sudden, it was no more talk about how tone-deaf Blake Lively's promotion was of the movie
00:19:47.200 and it also makes you wonder what made them change their minds.
00:19:50.800 I spoke about that the other day in relation to Salma Hayek as well.
00:19:56.060 it all comes together now and all of it is kind of scary to me anyways i also wanted to mention
00:20:02.500 this interview with ryan reynolds this is pretty shocking so there was a story on ryan in 2015 in
00:20:11.100 the new yorker and it talks about how he deals with conflicts and this is very revealing it says
00:20:19.400 here, he works on himself, talking about Ryan. In his 20s, he said, I was explosive and pissed
00:20:26.940 off all the time. I brawled with a friend of mine, got out of control. So I took a week-long
00:20:32.780 workshop in Santa Fe that had a sharing circle. He made a face, it says here. So I brawled with
00:20:40.140 a friend, got so out of control that he had to take a workshop to deal with it. Then it's kind
00:20:46.140 of out of control but anyways and he made a face they're saying here about ryan when he spoke about
00:20:51.700 this i would rather have spent the week punching myself in the penis but it helped that and reading
00:20:58.320 every book i could get my hands on about conflict resolution then he says there's a part of me that
00:21:05.580 still thinks how do i annihilate this person verbally turn them into liquid and then watch
00:21:13.160 that liquid evaporate in the summer sun. He scratched Baxter's ear, which is his dog,
00:21:20.300 while he was talking about this. But I learned the Gengian idea that whatever you think you hate
00:21:26.480 in the other person is something you actually can't stand in yourself. What is it that Roy
00:21:33.900 Reynolds can't stand in himself that made him go after Justin Baldoni so hard? Is it more the fact
00:21:42.940 that he hates in himself, that he can't be the person and the man that Justin Baldoni can be.
00:21:49.540 And that's why he would love to watch him turn into liquid and then watch that liquid evaporate
00:21:56.260 in the summer sun. So Ryan's not interested in solving the conflict. He's interested in destroying
00:22:02.600 the person. And that's also obviously why he created Nice Pool. It was a way for him to deal
00:22:09.060 with his fury and anger against Justin Baldoni and for him to really punish him he had to mock
00:22:16.320 him publicly as well. I think this says a lot about him as a person. I've seen many people
00:22:21.900 speculate online that if Ryan Reynolds is a sociopath and when you read things like this
00:22:26.820 the way he is so vividly explaining what he wants to do with people he doesn't like. He wants to
