Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Truth Finally Drops !!

00:00:00.000 The fact that it has become a term in Hollywood, is she trying to blake lively us?

00:00:09.500 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, I'm Kersti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:17.760 I got some tea you guys, I just spoke to my insider again, I can't wait to share this with you.

00:00:24.780 And according to the director of two of the biggest entertainment shows in Hollywood,

00:00:31.300 Blake Lively is persona non grata right now.

00:00:35.800 And let's talk about this article.

00:00:37.340 The internet calls Ryan Reynolds complicit and dilulu after he says he's never been more proud of Blake Lively

00:00:44.480 in viral Sunday Today's Interview.

00:00:48.260 And let's look at what's going on behind the scenes of Blake Lively's Wikipedia page right now.

00:00:52.760 This is crazy.

00:00:54.780 And also in this episode, I'll get a little bit more into what that ruling means from yesterday

00:00:58.980 when Tag, the crisis PR management company that Justin Baldoni hired to defend himself

00:01:04.660 against all the smearing from Blake Lively's side during the It Ends With Us premiere.

00:01:10.820 Now that the judge said that your arguments weren't good enough, so your claim will still go to trial,

00:01:16.840 let's look into what that actually means for Blake and what it actually means for PR companies in Hollywood.

00:01:23.100 Okay, so let's jump right to the juice.

00:01:25.600 What this insider just told me.

00:01:28.320 This person said to me,

00:01:29.680 Blake really damaged future protections for legitimate concerns on set

00:01:34.300 because now anyone bringing claims to producers is going to be met with just a bit of suspicion.

00:01:42.280 Is this actress trying to Blake lively us? 0.92

00:01:46.360 Are they just making a power grab? 0.94

00:01:49.180 This comes from a person who works in the industry

00:01:52.420 who also knows both parties of this case by the way and the fact that it has become a term in

00:01:59.260 Hollywood. Is she trying to Blake Livelyus or is he trying to Blake Livelyus? To me that just says

00:02:06.200 a lot. The person also said it's terrible because actors do deserve protection and this highlights

00:02:12.240 how those protections can be weaponized by powerful people. It's kind of tragic. Yes so true the damage

00:02:19.700 that Blake has done to other women who are thinking to actually speak out about a toxic

00:02:25.180 work environment or about S.H., it's so tragic. And in the beginning of this lawsuit, she said

00:02:31.480 she's doing this on behalf of all women everywhere, all girls, all daughters everywhere. And what she

00:02:37.500 has achieved is the exact opposite of that. So many women around afraid to speak, especially 1.00

00:02:43.760 right now, afraid to share their experiences. And fear is by design. It's what keeps us silent. But 0.96

00:02:48.900 I also acknowledge that many people

00:02:51.220 don't have the opportunity to speak, so I do

00:02:53.060 feel fortunate that I've been able to, and 0.94

00:02:55.120 it's the women who have had the ability to use their

00:02:57.060 voice that's kept me strong

00:02:58.880 and, you know, helped

00:03:01.000 me in my belief and my fight for the world

00:03:02.980 to be safer for women and girls. It's a pretty

00:03:05.040 simple thing. I got my coffee on

00:03:07.060 the circuit board, and then a little

00:03:09.000 rat ran across, and

00:03:11.040 I went to move my coffee, and I knocked it over.

00:03:13.140 When I knocked it over, I hit the switch.

00:03:15.600 And I said, well, why did it even

00:03:17.020 turn off. And he said, the comment section on the Blake Lively interview.

00:03:26.120 The person also said, Blake is in full throttle PR mode because her people know

00:03:32.920 this is the last month she will ever get any good press. So expect to see a bizarre ramping up of

00:03:41.060 pro-Blake and Ryan fluff pieces as they are throwing anything and everything they can at

00:03:47.160 the internet. Yes we started to see that already. I've been commenting on it as well. Blake is

00:03:52.480 pushing things on her Instagram story and then of course her publicist Leslie Sloan is calling all

00:03:57.680 the outlets asking them to pick it up and do a story about it. I think right now it's only e-news

00:04:03.960 or e-online that's actually been picking this up and maybe some of the women's magazines like

00:04:09.300 Glamour and Harper's Bazaar but apart from that I think most editors right now are saying like

00:04:15.620 no thank you and then the person continued to say they are spending millions in anticipation

00:04:20.980 of what's about to happen. Meanwhile Justin isn't playing the PR game at all just hoping the truth

00:04:27.560 comes out through all of the insane distractions Ryan is creating and then they say the worst thing

00:04:33.860 Ryan could have said was that his wife has integrity. Remember that interview he did a few

00:04:38.960 days ago? I showed it here on my channel as well when Ryan said, oh, I'm so proud of my wife.

00:04:44.640 She has more integrity than anyone I know. And then this person said, she's not right,

00:04:49.100 talking about Blake. She's not truthful. She's not humble. She's not self-reflective.

00:04:53.900 Everyone in Hollywood just went like, oh, Ryan, no, so much worse. Yeah, so that's how people

00:05:02.060 are reacting to Ryan Reynolds right now in Hollywood as well. I think that was a terrible

00:05:06.700 move. If you look at Ryan's Instagram right now, it's all about Wrexham. It's all about soccer.

00:05:12.360 You can't even tell that he's an actor when you go and look at his page. Also, by the way,

00:05:17.840 I've got some more insight info from my other insider who tells me that it is true that Blake

00:05:25.640 and Ryan are moving to the UK. So that is not just rumors. Blake wants to have a new start

00:05:32.740 in the UK. So let's see when they do that move. It looks like to me, because Ryan keeps posting

00:05:38.660 about Wrexham, the soccer team, it looks to me, it looks like to me that he's in the UK all the

00:05:44.360 time. Who knows? Maybe they live completely separate lives right now. As someone pointed

00:05:49.940 out as well, when Ryan was talking about Blake in that interview, he was really distancing

00:05:54.920 himself from her. He even talked about her in plural using they, them, instead of her or my

00:06:02.180 wife. I've never seen anyone with more integrity that they carry with them wherever they go or

00:06:08.440 whatever he said, which I also pointed out in the episode I did about that. But it's worth mentioning

00:06:13.280 again because it really says a lot about where their relationship is right now. Also, I love

00:06:18.700 this headline from She Finds, the internet calls Ryan Reynolds complicit and DeLulu after he says

00:06:25.380 he's never been more proud of Blake Lively in viral Sunday Today interview. It says here that

00:06:31.280 Blake and Ryan have been repeatedly trolled over how they're handling the uptick surrounding her

00:06:36.540 ongoing legal battle against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni and the

00:06:41.220 internet is showing no signs of slowing down with both its mockery and its outrage. And it says here

00:06:48.680 the couple have also been accused of attempting to shift attention away from the lawsuit

00:06:53.180 through carefully timed social media posts, although many people don't seem to be buying it.

00:06:59.140 Now he has finally publicly addressed the situation, although judging by the online reaction,

00:07:05.100 he may have wished he hadn't. And then they go through the things that he said in that interview

00:07:10.940 that he's so proud and no one knows really what's going on, blah, blah, blah. And it also says,

00:07:15.620 unsurprisingly the internet was quick to react to the hitman's wife's bodyguards actor's comments

00:07:21.760 and then they're quoting some comments saying is the integrity in the room with us asked one

00:07:27.500 instagram user please someone explain this man the meaning of integrity agreed a second as a third

00:07:34.260 explained seriously i'm wondering if he and his wife even know the meaning of integrity at this

00:07:39.220 point yeah i've had that same thought it also says here people have no idea what's really going on

00:07:44.840 Actually, Ryan, we read every page.

00:07:48.120 We know exactly what's going on, and it's not what you're selling.

00:07:51.340 Slammed a fourth person, and as a fifth person echoed, you're not fooling anyone.

00:07:57.440 Ryan is complicit in this whole drama.

00:07:59.720 I'm sure they're shocked that their star power didn't dazzle.

00:08:03.060 The judge added a six.

00:08:04.900 And then there's some comments to these stories about comments. 0.93

00:08:08.580 One is saying, well, at least we know what can kill Deadpool, a mean girl wife.

00:08:13.120 and then someone says the new Will Smith. It was interesting that they mentioned Will Smith 1.00

00:08:17.300 because Magnus and I were talking about that yesterday. It seems like Will Smith is not

00:08:21.500 coming back. He has been cancelled for good and I kind of was expecting to see him slowly come back

00:08:27.220 but he hasn't and it's been like four years I think now since the slap at the Oscars

00:08:33.460 and it just shows that these cancellations can be pretty brutal and it's not that easy to be

00:08:40.160 forgiven in Hollywood. Okay so let's look at this article in News Nation saying Blake Lively is

00:08:46.040 persona non grata in Hollywood exclusive. So they spoke to Fran Weinstein who's been the director

00:08:53.420 of Entertainment Tonight and the insider for over three decades and is also the author of the

00:08:59.060 upcoming memoir Tortured Souls and she's interviewed here and she says at the moment I believe that

00:09:06.040 Blake is persona non grata. They don't want to go near that fire for a while. The blunt assessment

00:09:13.320 comes as Lively prepares for May trial, blah, blah, blah. Weinstein, who interviewed Lively

00:09:19.380 and her husband Ryan Reynolds multiple times over the course of her career, says she questions

00:09:25.260 whether the lawsuit was the right move to begin with. Yes, I think we all question that at this

00:09:29.560 point. I don't know what happened on the set, but I think she made a really unfortunate move by

00:09:33.980 bringing this all about it's hard it's a hard line to toe because you've got to believe women

00:09:39.360 when they say they were harassed but the evidence does not show that that Lively was harassed and

00:09:44.800 then she's saying here that last year I was the first to report that Hollywood agents and industry

00:09:50.060 bigwigs were staring clear of the actress as everyone is as everyone is loath to work with

00:09:56.900 litigious actress who caused them to go over budgets and then she says everyone can make a

00:10:02.420 comeback, but not for a while. Whether Hollywood will be willing to write one for Blake Lively

00:10:07.260 remains to be seen. And then she says no one wants to work with her. She cost producers Wayfair and

00:10:12.480 Sony millions and blew past budgets with the demands and actions. However, it says here that

00:10:18.260 Weinstein stopped short of writing Lively off entirely. I actually don't agree. I don't think

00:10:24.180 anyone will be willing to work with Blake in the future. And there's two reasons for that. One is

00:10:29.720 because she's so difficult to work with and that she has admitted that she wants to take control 0.98

00:10:34.020 over everything. And two, who would go and watch a movie with Blake Lively? I think when Another

00:10:40.160 Simple Favor premiered last year, people started watching it because they were kind of curious

00:10:44.400 about everything because she was so much in the news at the moment. But in the future, she's just

00:10:49.920 too risky. Okay, so let's talk about what's happening on Blake Lively's Wikipedia page

00:10:54.560 and what this new ruling from the judge yesterday actually means.

00:10:59.140 But before we get into that, I wanted to thank the two sponsors of this video, Wayfair and Factor Meals.

00:11:05.120 Okay, I have to show you this because I'm genuinely so impressed.

00:11:08.920 I just upgraded a few things in my apartment and it really elevated the space both indoors and outdoors.

00:11:16.680 I got this beautiful white rug for our bedroom.

00:11:19.100 It looks so high-end and super clean, very much my style.

00:11:22.960 and I also added some new cushions to our patio.

00:11:26.320 They're so soft and comfortable to sit on

00:11:28.900 and they really upgraded the space

00:11:30.520 and they look like they're really good quality as well.

00:11:33.360 And of course, Oscar has tested both the rug

00:11:35.720 and the cushions on the patio

00:11:37.540 and he agrees with me.

00:11:39.560 And if you're ready to score some really amazing deals,

00:11:43.440 from April 25th to April 27th,

00:11:46.840 Wayfair has something they called Way Day.

00:11:49.960 That means you get up to 80% off

00:11:52.740 everything with free shipping. Another thing that I really like about Wayfair is that it's so easy

00:11:58.240 to find things. You can filter by style, by price, by reviews. For me it just took minutes to figure

00:12:03.820 out what I wanted to order and the reviews as well are a lifesaver. You can see exactly what

00:12:09.440 things look like in a real home which makes ordering so much less risky. Plus they have

00:12:15.300 something called Wayfair verified. That means that their team has already vetted products for

00:12:20.120 quality. Wayday is the sale to shop the best deals in home. We're talking up to 80% off with

00:12:42.920 thank you to Factor for sponsoring this video. You know that moment when you're starving, you're

00:12:47.680 exhausted and you know there's healthy stuff in the fridge but you just don't have the energy to

00:12:52.160 start cooking. Yes, that happens to me all the time. For me, eating healthy isn't really a willpower

00:12:57.880 problem, it's a setup problem. And honestly, that's exactly why I started using Factor.

00:13:03.640 Because Factor completely removes all that friction. These are fully prepared meals designed

00:13:09.240 by dietitians, cooked by chefs and delivered straight to your door. No planning, no grocery

00:13:15.960 runs and no cleanup, my favorite part. Lately, both Magnus and I have been really enjoying their

00:13:22.420 high-protein meals. Especially after a workout like tennis, you really need to fill up with

00:13:27.540 protein. Yes, you get real food, lean protein, vegetables, healthy fats without any of the junk.

00:13:35.140 No artificial stuff, no high fructose corn syrup, none of that stuff we don't want. And they actually

00:13:41.960 tastes good. Yeah, that's the difference. Fresh, never frozen, and they get over 100 rotating meals

00:13:48.900 every single week. I've also been trying their ready-to-eat salads. Super easy and super filling.

00:13:55.460 And the best part, it takes two minutes to prepare. Yes, every time you open the fridge,

00:14:00.000 it's like going to a restaurant and you can just pick from the menu what you want to eat.

00:14:04.360 Yes, so if you have a busy schedule and sometimes you don't have the time or the energy to cook,

00:14:39.420 So this is quite funny, actually, because someone sent me a link to Blake's Wikipedia

00:14:43.900 page the other day and said, you have to check it out.

00:14:46.540 It's so funny because they change up so many things on her site.

00:14:50.560 And I put it in my notebook that I was going to talk about it.

00:14:53.180 But then so many other things happened.

00:14:55.020 So I kept pushing it.

00:14:56.640 And then when I went back into a Wikipedia page today, it was completely different.

00:15:01.460 So the other day when I checked, there was a big segment about the little bump interview.

00:15:06.520 And there was also a lot of information about that plantation wedding

00:15:10.180 and also a lot of information about the lawsuit that's going on right now.

00:15:15.420 And today, that's gone.

00:15:18.340 What still has changed, though, is the photo of Blake on her Wikipedia page.

00:15:23.600 Not a very flattering photo of the actress.

00:15:26.900 So I went into the backside of Wikipedia

00:15:30.380 because you can go in and check the latest changes to a Wikipedia page.

00:15:34.500 and then you also see the names of the editors who changed it and as you can see from this on

00:15:39.260 April 21st alone there were like 14 changes to her Wikipedia page. In April in total there's so

00:15:46.720 many changes to her site so the funny thing here is there are people who are there are people from

00:15:53.080 Blake's side here trying to change it all the time so it looks flattering for her and then there

00:15:58.100 are other people changing it back to the way it was and all it says today about this lawsuit is

00:16:04.540 this the filming of it ends with us received substantial media and social media coverage

00:16:09.640 several months after the production and release of it ends with us lively filed a complaint

00:16:14.120 with the california civil rights department alleging the experienced sh and retaliation

00:16:19.220 resulting in a smear campaign from the film's director and co-star justin baldoni that's it

00:16:24.900 it doesn't say anything more it doesn't say that he sued her back and all the evidence and the

00:16:31.040 lawsuit when it's coming up nothing it's all gone as you know the same thing happened to my wikipedia

00:16:38.160 about a year ago it kept changing back and forth all the time and i can see from blake's wikipedia

00:16:44.300 that some of the same editors are involved in changing her wikipedia as we're as we're changing

00:16:50.060 mind. Yes, so there's definitely stuff going on behind the scenes here. At least they still have

00:16:55.240 the plantation wedding in here. It says Lively first met Ryan Reynolds in early 2010 while

00:17:00.660 filming Green Lantern, in which they co-starred. They began dating in October 2011 and married on

00:17:07.160 September 9th, 2012 at Bonehall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a site historically

00:17:14.600 associated with enslaved African-Americans. The venue choice later drew criticism, particularly

00:17:20.060 during renewed public discussion of racial justice beginning in 2020. In August of that year, Reynolds

00:17:27.020 and Lively publicly apologized and expressed deep regret for choosing the venue. They subsequently

00:17:32.580 made a $200,000 donation to NAACP, Legal Defense and Educational Fund. They have four children,

00:17:40.700 blah blah blah what an amazing donation from someone that's worth 400 million dollars according

00:17:47.020 to the internet so ryan reynolds gave 200 000 and the fact that they only did it because they got

00:17:53.600 criticism also says a lot but anyways my point is that is still on her wikipedia page let's see if

00:17:59.920 it's there in a week's time the latest change was done at 1 30 p.m yesterday and they changed the

00:18:07.020 language regarding the filming of it ends with us to reflect a more neutral tone and added a link

00:18:12.900 to the main article regarding lively's lawsuits so that is added by ed history 101 it's him and

00:18:22.000 this other guy here called gråberg gråa song who keeps changing things back and forth so ed also

00:18:29.140 did another change on april 24th updated her short bio clarify clarified connection to it ends with

00:18:35.940 us controversies article. So this person is obviously someone that works for Blake to try

00:18:42.220 and make people forget about this lawsuit already. Anyways, let's look into this ruling that happened

00:18:46.880 yesterday. I just jumped on to talk about it quickly after I actually had recorded my entire

00:18:51.660 episode. So I wasn't really that informed about the details of this ruling. Now I've looked a bit

00:18:56.900 more into it. The interesting thing here to me that I don't quite understand is that the judge

00:19:01.460 left the door open for both TAG, the crisis management company that helped Justin Baldoni,

00:19:06.560 and the Wayfair parties, his production company, to adjust their filings so that they will have

00:19:12.420 another chance of getting these two claims tossed out. And as I said yesterday, I listened to

00:19:18.180 attorneys saying that, oh, these are going to get tossed as well. This is like a slam dunk.

00:19:22.540 You know, it's 90% sure that these claims are not going to make it to court. Well, now the judge

00:19:28.420 said, yes, they are going to make it to trial because their arguments are not holding up. So

00:19:34.180 now we only know that Tagg's claim has survived. And because the Wayfair parties basically have

00:19:39.840 the same arguments, then that means that their claim will also probably stay in most likely.

00:19:46.220 So Tagg argued that Blake Lively was not employed by them. So why should California

00:19:51.820 housing and employment laws be effective in this case against them? And they're saying that we

00:19:57.800 weren't even hired when these incidents that Blake are describing actually happened. As you know,

00:20:04.380 right now, this lawsuit is basically about that contract, those 17 points that Blake made Justin

00:20:10.360 and Jamie Heath sign. Actually, just Jamie Heath was the only one who signed it. But anyways,

00:20:14.740 those 17 points, that's what this is all about now. Because she's saying, because she spoke up

00:20:20.960 in these 17 points, that's the reason why they retaliated against her. And TAG, this crisis

00:20:26.640 management company said we weren't even involved in that contract we had nothing to do with that

00:20:31.460 so how can we be liable for smearing her so tag said they shouldn't be under employment law because

00:20:37.620 they were just helping with media strategies and just doing pr and the judge said this isn't about

00:20:43.160 hiring firing salary or workplace conditions so it doesn't count and then he said that feeha this

00:20:50.100 employment law in california is not that narrow he basically says that it doesn't just protect you

00:20:55.280 from being fired or demoted it also protects you from actions that could damage your career

00:21:00.800 reputation or future opportunities and that's a big deal in Hollywood because in Hollywood your

00:21:05.900 reputation is basically your career. So the judge said basically if you knowingly assist in something

00:21:12.200 that could violate the law and you could still be on the hook. But here's the important thing

00:21:17.880 the judge isn't saying that TAG is responsible for a smear campaign. He is just saying that

00:21:25.000 according to the law, you could be held responsible if there was one. So I'm sure that Blake or her

00:21:32.460 team is going to try to spin this somehow in the media right now. They're on the phone with

00:21:36.880 everyone saying like, hey, this is another win. But the fact is that no one really reported on

00:21:41.920 this in the first place, that both these parties, the Wayfair parties and TAG, were giving the

00:21:46.780 opportunity to change things up a little bit. So that basically the story remains the same,

00:21:51.900 that she has three claims left and 10 of her other claims were dismissed.

00:21:56.820 And what a judge said here is that I can't rule on this

00:22:00.000 because this law is not clear enough.

00:22:02.940 So I have to put this in front of a jury.

00:22:04.960 So this is not great for TAG, obviously, and Wayfarer as well.

00:22:09.060 What I can imagine right now, though,

00:22:11.000 is that a lot of PR firms in Hollywood are freaking out right now

00:22:16.040 because they can be held liable if their client

00:22:19.440 or if someone else's client that their client is involved with gets any negative press,

00:22:25.340 they can be dragged to court for that, being accused of smearing people.

00:22:29.940 Even though they never did that, as we know from this situation and this lawsuit,

00:22:34.520 they could still be dragged into court and forced to spend millions and millions of dollars to defend themselves.

00:22:41.400 Yes, so this could really open the door for more lawsuits.

00:22:44.460 And I don't think anyone here is happy about that.

00:22:46.960 I just really hope that the judge is allowing those text messages from Blake Lively's publicist,

00:22:53.040 Leslie Sloan, that she sent out to Us Weekly, People Magazine, Daily Mail, New York Post,

00:22:59.620 threatening them, manipulating them to write stories that would favor Blake. I've read from

00:23:05.740 those text messages. She keeps using the C word, by the way, talking about Stephanie Jones, who is

00:23:11.060 now one of their allies. It's so funny how people just jump sides. There's no loyalty here. No

00:23:16.660 loyalty in Hollywood. But I really hope the jury gets to see those texts because she's asking

00:23:21.440 journalists to change titles. And she's asking journalists to remove the responses from Justin

00:23:28.160 Baldoni in an article where Blake Lively is accusing him of a toxic environment and saying

00:23:34.420 that the entire cast can't stand him. And I think that's really important to show because that also

00:23:40.460 proves that Justin had to be out there and defend himself. And that's also the reason why he hired

00:23:46.560 tag because this was getting out of hand and he had to save his own reputation as you know there's

00:23:52.380 no evidence that blake was ever smeared by anyone and she can't even point to that herself as we as

00:23:57.880 we've seen from her deposition she can't point to a single article who printed anything about her

00:24:03.100 that wasn't true and if amplifying the truth is the same thing as smearing someone then everyone

00:24:09.880 should be sued for a smear campaign the fact that blake's only evidence of a smear campaign is

00:24:14.940 basically her own words and actions that backfired on her that just says everything a jury has to

00:24:20.880 know all right that's it for me you guys I hope you enjoyed this episode thank you so much for
