00:00:00.000 And when you look at this video in slow-mo, it's pretty clear that Ryan Reynolds does not want to
00:00:07.420 be in this photo. Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Tashti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth
00:00:17.820 teller and your voice of reason in a town built on the illusion. Is Ryan Reynolds trying to shade
00:00:25.040 Justin Baldoni in his latest movie, Mayday. It certainly looks like it. And did he just reach
00:00:32.580 a new low stalking regular people on social media? This is really disturbing. And yesterday,
00:00:40.880 Blake and Ryan went to a Wrexham match together. So why did Ryan pretend that his wife wasn't there?
00:00:48.100 Also, Megan Thewey, the journalist who wrote the hit piece on Justin Baldoni in the New York Times,
00:00:55.460 posted a video about how proud she is of her work.
00:01:00.600 And we have to talk about all this disturbing news about Jared Leto.
00:01:04.660 Why did it take so long for people to react when we already knew he was a creep a long time ago?
00:01:10.980 Before I get into all of this, I wanted to just say thank you so much for watching my video yesterday
00:01:16.220 where I talked about the Golden Globes.
00:01:18.540 If you missed that, you should watch it.
00:01:20.500 It's a really fascinating, crazy, nuts Hollywood story
00:01:25.140 that seems to never end.
00:01:27.460 And I'm personally very invested in this story,
00:01:30.140 so I will probably keep on reporting on it
00:01:33.320 whenever there's news coming out.
00:01:35.380 I'm working my way through the entire lawsuit at the moment.
00:01:39.520 As I said yesterday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association
00:01:41.980 is suing the owners of the Golden Globes,
00:01:44.700 the ones they sold the Golden Globes to.
00:01:47.820 And I've read through half of the 130 pages of that lawsuit already.
00:01:51.980 And the dirty laundry is coming out.
00:01:54.920 My big question is now, what will happen to the Golden Globes in 2027?
00:02:00.540 Will they still be eared?
00:02:02.740 Who wants to be associated with anything this corrupt, this dirty, this schemey, this complete joke? 0.51
00:02:12.680 Anyways, let's get into it.
00:02:14.700 So someone sent me a video this morning of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively at a Wrexham game.
00:02:20.260 I did a little research and it looks like Wrexham was playing in New York City.
00:02:25.420 That is the soccer team or the football team that Ryan Reynolds owns together with Mac
00:02:31.880 Robb, his business partner, who's also an actor.
00:02:34.980 And of course, they're attending a lot of these matches together.
00:02:38.660 and I looked at Ryan Reynolds Instagram story and of course there is a photo of him and his pal
00:02:46.460 Rob Mack but from this video that Darla sent me thank you so much Darla it's clear that Blake
00:02:55.000 Lively was there at this soccer match with her husband so here is a video of Ryan and Blake when
00:03:03.540 someone else is taking a photo of them, probably some fan or whatever, wanted a photo of the two
00:03:09.460 of them together. And when you look at this video in slow-mo, it's pretty clear that Ryan Reynolds
00:03:16.300 does not want to be in this photo. Look at his body language here when he's just trying to get
00:03:24.440 away from Blake and she is grabbing onto him pulling him in really hard and of course smiling
00:03:34.000 for this photographer. I think what we're witnessing now is Ryan Reynolds trying to distance himself
00:03:39.780 as much as possible from his wife and I bet you he's asking her not to post any photos with him
00:03:48.140 at the moment. He is desperately as you can see here trying to escape his wife. I think this video
00:03:55.280 in slow-mo here explains everything going on between the two of them right now. Blake is
00:04:02.080 hanging on to her husband like save me save me I have a famous husband you should hire me again
00:04:08.280 and Ryan is like get away from me I'm not gonna get any work as long as people associate me with
00:04:14.680 you. Anyways, this is pretty disturbing. I've spoken about this a while ago but it caught my
00:04:20.960 attention again. Someone on Reddit posted this again and it's clear to me what's going on here.
00:04:27.780 So as you know Ryan Reynolds has a movie coming out on Apple TV. It's premiering in September
00:04:35.380 and there's been a little bit of marketing around that movie but Ryan has not pushed it himself. He
00:04:41.820 hasn't even posted the trailer on his Instagram. I believe the reason for that is because Apple TV
00:04:48.240 told him not to. They don't want all the haters to come out and ruin this movie for them. Anyways,
00:04:55.380 this is the interesting part. So Ryan started shooting Mayday around spring of 2024. That was
00:05:03.660 in the middle of all the drama going on on the set of It Ends With Us. And we already know that his
00:05:11.040 marketing and production company Maximum Effort is involved in this film. There's no sign that
00:05:18.600 they're actually doing the marketing for the film. I'm sure they were signed up to do that but Apple
00:05:22.940 TV was like maybe not. Let's just like do that ourselves now. But anyways what I'm about to show
00:05:29.160 you is so sick. So in 2019 Justin Baldoni directed a movie called Five Feet Apart and it was produced
00:05:40.440 by the Wayfair Studios. Here is the thumbnail for the teaser of that movie. Two people in the snow
00:05:50.460 laying on their backs as you can see. So what does Ryan Reynolds do when he's creating a poster
00:05:57.380 for Mayday? He is copying this exact photo. So this is the official poster for Mayday with Ryan Reynolds.
00:06:07.140 That is not a coincidence.
00:06:10.460 This has Ryan Reynolds written all over it.
00:06:13.840 He is obsessed with Justin Baldoni.
00:06:17.300 He just can't stop.
00:06:19.380 This makes me believe that Mayday is probably filled with one-liners from Ryan Reynolds
00:06:25.140 trying to shade Justin Baldoni.
00:06:28.520 I was not going to watch that movie, but now I might have to,
00:06:31.360 because I'm 100% sure that Ryan rewrote a lot of the lines in this movie,
00:06:35.800 as he always does and this time again he did it to bully justin baldoni i did no such thing
00:06:44.700 anyways talking about bullying and intimidating people this is a disturbing story as well
00:06:52.100 so gerald donald thank you gerald donald for contacting me and sending me this which is
00:06:58.120 another crazy story with ryan so jerry's really good at diy and budget decor and that's what he
00:07:06.220 does on his instagram account but he was also a fan of ryan reynolds and his movies but then after
00:07:13.440 he learned about who he really is like the rest of us he stopped liking him and he posted this
00:07:21.140 on his instagram and then he added this caption it's so disappointing about ryan reynolds i really
00:07:27.500 thought he was the coolest dude in hollywood made lots of funny films actually very funny himself
00:07:33.520 not a bad straight actor either owns the gin company he's in one of my favorite christmas
00:07:38.780 movies just friends he hangs around with rob mccallany he was a top he was a top of his game
00:07:45.400 had everything in life to be grateful for and to find out what a horrible sniveling jealous 0.78
00:07:52.040 conniving cruel rat he really is is kind of heartbreaking kind of like finding out olivia 0.96
00:07:59.160 newton john was an ice agent i mean he was deadpool for f's sake deadpool how now he's just 0.85
00:08:08.080 dead to me how did ryan reynolds react to this random people to him on social media who called
00:08:16.840 him out like this. He started following him. When Jer told me this, I was like, no, I'm going to go
00:08:23.080 and check if it's the real Ryan Reynolds. And it is. The real Ryan Reynolds started following this
00:08:29.300 guy after he said these horrible things about him. Why did he do that? How sick are you when you do
00:08:38.840 something like that? How manipulative are you? What I really love here is that Jer was like, 0.99
00:08:44.480 i don't care dude i still don't like you and he called him out in a post saying is ryan reynolds
00:08:50.380 going to try and sue me or is he in need of some budget interior d diy advice what the actual f
00:08:58.400 totally what the actual f i wonder if more people have experienced this that ryan reynolds starts
00:09:05.280 following them after they call him out saying that he's a horrible person i'm sure he's doing
00:09:10.940 his own social media and now i'm sure he's spending a lot of time online he knows everything
00:09:17.860 going on he's reading all the comments he is obsessed with his own image and stuff like this
00:09:25.080 really really bothers him and what's interesting about this this person didn't comment on a post
00:09:32.260 or reel that ryan reynolds posted himself he posted this on his own instagram and ryan found
00:09:38.360 it's creepy someone also sent me ryan reynolds bio on linkedin i don't know if you've seen it
00:09:44.640 but it's pretty telling he says about himself on linkedin i've been acting for three decades now
00:09:50.180 which might be described as a proven track record or delivering consistent results on linkedin i'm
00:09:56.280 currently on a sabbatical to spend time with family and attempting being a nine to five
00:10:02.160 professional so he's saying here that it's voluntarily that he's on a sabbatical i'm not
00:10:08.240 100 sure of that anyways he says in recent years i've built what wall what the wall street journal
00:10:14.720 recently called a business empire still trying to figure out what they meant by that really
00:10:22.220 and he says my skills include writing rewriting yes we know that you love to rewrite ryan and
00:10:30.960 then you're pretending that it was your wife's writing anyways he says he also has skills
00:10:36.360 including tweeting, mixing cocktails, backed engineer for software platforms, and watching
00:10:41.820 lower-tier Welsh football matches. Proficiency rages from excellent to absolutely awful.
00:10:48.680 Yeah, I would go with absolutely awful. Anyways, let's talk about Megan Sui for a second. She's
00:10:57.440 the journalist who wrote the hit piece on Justin Baldoni and all the others involved in this
00:11:02.900 lawsuits she's also responsible for adding me into that article without contacting me first
00:11:09.900 asking me if any of the allegations or insinuations that they were going to print were true
00:11:17.540 so now megan suey has posted on her own instagram an interview with herself talking about what an
00:11:26.360 amazing reporter she is and how she's worked for the new york times for 10 years just listen to
00:11:33.320 this and keep in mind how the new york times got all that information that they based the article
00:11:40.680 on we can bury anyone the world has changed so much in the 10 years that i've been here but to
00:11:47.460 feel like i'm at an institution that's like really grounded in its commitment to facts
00:11:51.700 and its commitment to reporting without fear or favor.
00:11:57.460 I became a better reporter.
00:11:59.120 I became a better writer.
00:12:00.780 I became a better journalist all around,
00:12:03.780 not just by tackling kind of new and challenging subjects,
00:12:08.800 but also by the kind of high standards
00:12:11.940 that the New York Times applies,
00:12:13.960 I think forces us all to just constantly
00:12:16.540 be getting better and better and better.
00:12:19.060 Yes, it's amazing to be part of an institution grounded in its commitment to facts, the high standards that the New York Times applies to their reporting.
00:12:30.960 I mean, as I mentioned before, it's quite interesting how Megan Thewey buried Blake Lively.
00:12:38.040 Her intent with the article was to bury Justin Baldoni, but she ended up burying Blake Lively.
00:12:44.840 And her goal was also to show what an excellent reporter she is and maybe even hope for another
00:12:51.720 Pulitzer Prize. 1.00
00:12:53.200 But instead, she just made people not trust New York Times reporting anymore. 0.98
00:12:58.780 So to throw it back at Megan Thewey, exactly what she did to me, insinuating that I was
00:13:05.100 part of a smear campaign because I had a video with a hashtag saying justice for Johnny
00:13:11.920 Depp.
00:13:12.280 That was what she based her reporting on, putting me into that article.
00:13:18.000 So that would be the same as for me to insinuate very, very strongly here on my channel that
00:13:25.640 Megan Thewey was paid by Blake Lively, but I would just add allegedly afterwards, but
00:13:33.440 still I would just plant that seed in everyone's minds because that really fits my narrative.
00:13:39.400 Now I can just establish random cherry-picked facts to support that theory
00:13:46.120 and then say it out loud to everyone that's listening here.
00:13:50.700 Maybe I'll just find a hashtag somewhere to support my theory
00:13:54.840 and then I can show a picture of Megan Thewey here saying
00:13:59.120 it's very likely that she was paid by Blake Lively to smear me and to smear Justin Boldoni.
00:14:06.920 But then I'll just add again, allegedly.
00:14:09.860 So I wonder what it feels like for Megan Thewey when someone questions your integrity as a journalist,
00:14:15.360 especially coming from another journalist, and you're accusing the person of being corrupt.
00:14:21.420 And keep in mind, this also happened during Christmas for me.
00:14:25.080 So I commented on Megan Thewey's post, asking her a question, and now I'm waiting for her to respond to me.
00:14:32.840 So I said this, as one of the people you're reporting publicly insinuated was part of a
00:14:39.160 coordinated smear campaign without ever contacting me for comments, I have a very different view on
00:14:45.120 what good journalism looks like. Accuracy doesn't end when a story fits the narrative. It begins
00:14:51.680 with giving the people you're writing about a chance to respond. So Megan, I'm giving you a
00:14:58.780 chance to respond to this and I will read your response out here loud on my channel. Anyway let's
00:15:05.460 get into something even more messed up which is Jared Leto but before we get into that I wanted
00:15:10.760 to thank the sponsor of this video Factor Meals. For me eating healthy is not really about willpower
00:15:17.320 it is about convenience. On busy days like this when I do my research I do my recordings I do all

00:16:59.720 about Jared Leto just proves again how Hollywood operates. We've known stories similar to what's
00:17:08.280 coming out now about Jared Leto for a really long time. But people still wanted to be around him,
00:17:14.600 and people still wanted to work with him, and his career was still blossoming. So now BBC has made
00:17:21.300 a documentary where 10 women came forward and talked about their experiences with Jared Leto,
00:17:28.380 and nine of them are speaking publicly for the first time. Four of them are accusing Jared Leto
00:17:36.720 of conduct I can't say all these words here on my channel from when they were teenagers all of
00:17:44.100 these incidents happened between 2002 and 2016 so the latest incident happened about 10 years ago
00:17:53.940 and it seems like the BBC did their due diligence here they didn't just interview these women they
00:18:00.360 They were looking at text messages, photographs, interviewed friends and relatives of these
00:18:06.300 women, and they had testimonies from former associates and employees of Jared Leto.
00:18:12.540 Two of these male assistants described situations where they were asked to bring young female
00:18:18.860 fans backstage to Jared Leto.
00:18:21.540 And now all of a sudden this story is getting picked up everywhere.
00:18:24.520 And Page Six did a story today where they have spoken to someone who used to work for Jared Leto.
00:18:31.720 And their headline here is the dark truth behind working with horrible Jared Leto.
00:18:37.720 No soul behind his eyes.
00:18:40.800 There is something about Jared Leto's eyes.
00:18:43.440 He has a way of staring that is really scary to me.
00:18:47.660 There is definitely something in his eyes that is not right.
00:18:51.220 And here they have an insider speaking out about this, saying Jared Leto is allegedly horrible to work with behind the scenes, according to a former colleague.
00:19:00.220 He is not a good guy. There is no soul behind his eyes.
00:19:04.640 An insider who once toured with the 32nd to Mars frontman exclusively told Page Six on Wednesday following the release of the explosive BBC documentary.
00:19:15.280 He was a horrible vibe while working with him and he made people uncomfortable.
00:19:19.660 It was really hard to talk to him if he even tried to talk to us.
00:19:24.640 The source here also said that Leto had several extreme requests for his crew members,
00:19:29.640 like asking assistants to hold open doors and hold his cape for him,
00:19:34.880 tasks that one could easily do themselves.
00:19:37.380 I feel like that's all celebrities, by the way.
00:19:40.020 You put yourself above everyone else and expect everyone to worship you.
00:19:44.000 And if they don't, you just fire them.
00:19:45.560 And then you hire someone else who's willing to do that.
00:19:47.900 but anyways people who have known him for years have also said that he's a very problem that he's
00:19:53.480 very problematic with women if everyone in the industry knows there was going to be a day of
00:20:00.920 reckoning for him page six has reached out to let us rep and nothing there i just looked at his
00:20:06.960 instagram and now he has limited comments on his instagram surprise surprise but of course a lot
00:20:14.480 of fans are out there defending him that's what happens every time in these cases people get
00:20:20.460 blinded by celebrities they believe they can't believe that their idol or someone they really
00:20:26.720 like did something wrong and i've spoken about this many times before how people identify
00:20:32.580 themselves with celebrities so when you attack the celebrity it's like you're attacking them
00:20:38.100 personally as well so i'm not surprised that that is happening with gerald leto as well anyways i
00:20:44.140 haven't watched the entire documentary yet but I've seen parts of it and you know there are also
00:20:50.740 women who are going on the record here and there are so many women. I feel like every time if there's
00:20:57.900 one person coming out it's much harder to believe it before we have really hard evidence but when
00:21:04.100 there are 10 women Leto has denied all the allegations obviously and said that he had never
00:21:10.440 essayed anyone in his entire life. The problem for him here is that a lot of these girls are underage
00:21:18.940 and that is criminal. So even though they did this voluntarily, if he knew that they were underage
00:21:27.820 or if they just were underage, I don't know exactly how the law is there if they lied to
00:21:33.320 him and said they were older, but it doesn't seem like that's the case here. It seems like he knew
00:21:38.820 the age of the 16 year old 17 year old women before he slept with them and you have to remember
00:21:47.720 Jared Leto is 54 now so when this happened about 10 years ago he was a 44 year old man there is
00:21:56.980 also a story of someone called Etta that is a that's not her real name she spoke out in the
00:22:02.820 documentary claiming that Leto groomed her when she was only 16 years old and she claims that he
00:22:09.620 made several explicit phone calls to her in 2014 before trying to get her to sign a non-disclosure
00:22:16.240 agreement two years later which she refused and the BBC reported that they reviewed the alleged
00:22:23.500 NDA along with other documents to support the allegations against Leto. I will definitely keep
00:22:30.620 and I on this case as well I don't know if there are any criminal charges yet if any of these women
00:22:37.180 wants to go after him in court I applaud all women who are willing to stand up for themselves
00:22:42.680 but also I totally understand if they don't anyway that's it for me today you guys thank you so much
00:22:51.020 for watching I really appreciate all your support please keep sending me a lot of tips as you know
