Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Wow, It Was Ryan !!

00:00:00.000 Okay, so now we know Ryan Reynolds' role in getting that phone from Justin Baldoni's publicist.

00:00:13.100 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk. I'm Sarshti Flore, journalist, Hollywood truth teller,

00:00:17.580 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:21.360 oh la la we have a new filing showing ryan reynolds role in getting a hold of justin

00:00:30.100 baldoni's publicist phone and in that same filing from the publicist who used to represent justin

00:00:37.380 baloni stephanie jones who then gave her employees phone to ryan reynolds allegedly 0.95

00:00:42.940 she is asking the judge to give her more time because she says that she can prove

00:00:49.500 that people have been lying under oath.

00:00:52.900 Also, we have another interesting interview with Ryan Reynolds

00:00:55.900 from the red carpet of Mayday.

00:00:58.440 This time he was asked about his anniversary with Blake Lively

00:01:02.200 and his response is priceless.

00:01:05.400 Also, People Magazine did an interview with Ryan 0.86

00:01:08.360 talking about all the dumb jokes that he added into the script of Mayday. 0.70

00:01:13.640 Sounds familiar? 0.94

00:01:14.680 he did exactly the same thing with this movie as he did with It Ends With Us.

00:01:21.460 And let's look at these old clips of Justin Baldoni from the red carpet, the premiere

00:01:26.540 of It Ends With Us, how he's struggling to hold back his tears just minutes before

00:01:33.200 he is sent down to the basement with his family. This is just heartbreaking.

00:01:39.660 So people in the comment section, thank you very much, were suggesting from the picture

00:01:44.540 that I shared yesterday of Blake Lively wearing this little thing that looked like a medical

00:01:50.160 device. A lot of people were suggesting that it is a heart monitor. And thanks again to Rachel

00:01:57.180 who noticed this. And if the mainstream media picks this up, maybe they'll get a comment from

00:02:02.220 her team. So yeah, I'll keep you posted if I hear anything about her health situation there. Also,

00:02:08.700 I missed a big thing yesterday. I didn't realize when I listened to this interview

00:02:13.260 that i shared with everyone where ryan reynolds was asked about this amazing beautiful message

00:02:19.320 for his wife for her birthday the reporter said i just lastly um from your partner in crime we

00:02:26.700 have beautiful words for him for your real life partner in crime her birthday yeah i missed that

00:02:31.320 she called blake lively his partner in crime and a lot of you guys pointed that out to me so thank

00:02:37.160 you for that. Anyways let's get into it. So as I said Ryan was interviewed again yesterday by

00:02:43.280 People magazine and they were asking about this birthday thing as well. I think a lot of reporters

00:02:49.640 think alike here. They're like how can we connect Blake Lively to Ryan of something recent and

00:02:55.820 they're like okay he posted this publicly on Instagram so we should be allowed to ask about

00:03:00.700 that. I don't have the question from the reporter in this clip because it was cut off but Ryan

00:03:05.880 starts talking about everyone's birthdays again and that they're so close together he obviously

00:03:12.120 rehearsed his answer to that question because he knows the press as well so he was definitely

00:03:17.000 prepared for this question because he keeps saying the same thing i'm in birthday alley uh my kids we

00:03:21.800 have about four four of our family members all just back to back to back to back it's birthday

00:03:25.800 alley and it goes right on into christmas ceaseless so so basically yeah to my 50th birthday i mean

00:03:31.400 crazy uh so yeah i'm just it's i'm mostly breathing in helium all day filling balloons uh emptying

00:03:35.800 balloons filling more balloons that is the that is that is birthday alley but anyways then he gets

00:03:39.820 caught off guard here by this reporter who reminds him that next week it's their anniversary his and

00:03:46.740 blake anniversary and he responds like this yes but but again birthday alley you're forgetting

00:03:55.380 birthday alley just it the whole thing turns into one giant mosh pit celebration of balloons

00:04:01.180 and confetti all the way through christmas but again birthday alley you forget it's birthday

00:04:07.980 alley you're forgetting that like what what does that have to do with birthdays that it is your

00:04:14.460 wedding anniversary yeah he definitely does not want to mention his wife's name in any of these

00:04:22.420 interviews and he's just ignoring the question just saying that we're celebrating with confetti

00:04:28.340 and balloons all the time all the way through Christmas and blah blah blah. He is so stressed

00:04:34.600 out during these interviews because he knows that all these reporters are going to try and sneak in

00:04:40.340 a question there to get him to say something about Blake. Then he's also asked about his 50th

00:04:47.260 birthday which is I think it's next month or something like that and of course he's not going

00:04:52.700 celebrate that either because there's balloons and confetti everywhere i guess until christmas

00:05:01.100 no i don't like birth i mean i i'm fine with i don't bemoan a birthday but i don't

00:05:05.260 you know i'm not like hey let's have a huge party for me i don't i'm good i get enough attention i

00:05:09.660 was just on a red carpet yeah he got enough attention already because he went to the red

00:05:13.260 carpet so he doesn't have to celebrate his 50th birthday anyways let's look at these new filings

00:05:19.260 that are so explosive. First, we have to get to this new deposition that Stephanie Jones added 0.57

00:05:28.260 to her evidence. So it seems like Stephanie Jones wants to go down another route than Blake Lively 1.00

00:05:35.820 did in her deposition when she said that she had heard about this phone or the existence of a phone

00:05:44.100 with damaged text messages on from stephanie jones through a friend they had in common another

00:05:50.580 friend of taylor swift that this phone existed and stephanie jones got in touch with blake lively

00:05:57.940 and according to blake stephanie jones said hey you can just have all of this and blake was like

00:06:03.420 no no no no we need to do this legally it's really important for me like right who believes that i

00:06:10.480 don't anyways as I said the other day Stephanie Jones and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds they

00:06:15.280 used to be on the same team here because it was them against the wafer parties against just 0.62

00:06:20.360 Baldoni but now Stephanie Jones is on her own and she's willing to throw anyone under the bus

00:06:26.620 and as you know Blake Lively just threw her under the bus saying that Stephanie Jones didn't care 0.99

00:06:32.300 if she just gave me all this content of her employee's phone without protecting it legally

00:06:39.740 or whatever but now it seems like the story blake lively told is not exactly what happened

00:06:45.980 so stephanie jones added parts of melissa nathan's deposition in her new filing so melissa nathan

00:06:55.220 is a crisis manager that justin baldoni hired to help him out of this mess when it started

00:07:02.720 And it says here that Melissa Nathan testified that Scooter Braun, who was her boss or who is her boss, he owns Tag, this crisis management company.

00:07:14.800 And as you know, he had his feud with Taylor Swift, too, just to make it a bit more complicated here.

00:07:19.300 But anyways, Nathan testified that Scooter Braun told her that Brian Reynolds had pressured Stephanie Jones to hand over the phone to him.

00:07:30.940 Then Melissa Nathan says that she can't confirm if this is true or not, but that is what Scooter Braun told her, that Ryan Reynolds went after Stephanie Jones and said, give me the phone.

00:07:43.240 And she didn't say the content of the phone.

00:07:45.880 She used the word phone, meaning the physical device in itself.

00:07:51.100 so we don't know yet if stephanie jones actually gave the entire phone away to ryan reynolds and

00:07:58.820 blake lively or if she had printed some of the text messages and then gave that to them i am

00:08:05.620 starting to think that they actually gave the physical phone away and as you know the new york

00:08:11.560 times used that phone or the content of that phone for their reporting basically their entire article

00:08:18.700 was based on text messages from that phone, if they didn't have that phone, that article would

00:08:25.120 never have happened, if you ask me. In a legal complaint Lively filed on Friday, private text

00:08:30.680 messages and other documents that we've obtained reveal what really happened. But as I said, we

00:08:37.300 don't know this for sure yet, but it's very interesting that Blake Lively never mentioned

00:08:43.960 this when she was asked about this phone and how they got it she threw stephanie jones under the 0.80

00:08:49.580 bus instantly and here stephanie jones is throwing ryan reynolds under the bus we know that stephanie 1.00

00:08:56.640 jones had conversations with scooter brawn already we know that from her deposition because she was 0.98

00:09:02.260 accused actually of smearing melissa nathan to her employer scooter brawn in hopes that he would 0.99

00:09:11.200 fire her. That is what Melissa Nathan is suggesting or Brian Friedman was suggesting when he was

00:09:17.960 questioning her. Like, why did you tell Scooter Braun that Melissa Nathan was planting negative

00:09:24.700 stories about potential future clients so then she could go in and save them later and say,

00:09:31.500 hey, this is terrible news for you. Do you want to hire me so I can fix this? That's basically

00:09:36.060 what stephanie jones told scooter brawn so this is already a huge mess and we're about to find out

00:09:43.300 a lot more about how this phone and the content of this phone changed hands now i'm hoping that

00:09:51.340 ryan reynolds was putting pressure on stephanie jones through text messages or emails that we're

00:09:56.600 going to see some of that coming out soon because as you know the judge is about to unseal a lot of

00:10:02.480 documents in this case as he also is in the Blake Lively case. The deadline is tomorrow for both

00:10:11.220 Blake and Justin and the Wayfair parties to tell the judge why he should keep some of this

00:10:18.020 information still sealed. He wants the public to have access to everything so we are about to see

00:10:24.340 a floodgate open of more evidence and now we have a little clue of what we can expect

00:10:31.160 to get from that unsealing in the same filing from stephanie jones she's also asking the judge

00:10:37.520 to give her a little more time because she says hey judge i have more evidence here that these

00:10:42.940 people were involved in creating a smear website against me because look at the rebel wilson case

00:10:48.900 the same people were involved there and there's evidence in that case that i want to put into my

00:10:54.240 case because i think they definitely must be guilty of creating a website against me to smear

00:11:00.620 me because it looks like they did the same thing for rebel wilson she's also suggesting in this

00:11:06.780 filing that melissa nathan has not been truthful in her testimony in her sworn testimony that's

00:11:13.300 pretty serious and she's also alleging that jed wallace that guy over in texas that blake lively

00:11:19.740 is still fighting with who wants to depose her that she also says that he's not been truthful

00:11:26.340 in his testimony. She's basically accusing everyone of lying here. The thing is, with all the things

00:11:31.600 we've discovered now, it looks like a lot of people are constantly lying here. I thought that

00:11:37.340 was pretty serious to lie under oath, but I don't know what the consequences really are for that

00:11:43.580 anymore. So she's attaching a conversation here from the Weber Wilson case, where there's text

00:11:49.320 messages between Rebel Wilson and Melissa Nathan discussing the cost of a website to smear Rebel

00:11:57.720 Wilson's producer, Amanda Ghost. And Melissa Nathan is quoting her $110,000 to create a website that's

00:12:05.520 untraceable, she's saying. And when Rebel Wilson was asked about this, this is so funny, she said

00:12:11.420 that that website was a website for her. It was rebelwilson.com where she was planning to sell

00:12:19.000 merchandise and her memoir that doesn't make much sense to me why she would want that to be so

00:12:25.900 secretive that they actually had to jump on to signal to talk about that website because that's

00:12:31.540 also suggested in the text exchange that hey let's go over to signal melissa nathan says because

00:12:37.640 in signal your messages get deleted instantly after they're read so it doesn't make much sense

00:12:44.520 that it was so secretive that they were actually making rebelwilson.com where she was going to sell

00:12:49.260 merch and her memoir and they wanted to really do that under the radar another thing about this

00:12:54.660 is that i don't know the content of this website but stephanie jones says that they created about

00:13:01.620 her there were two different websites actually but the thing is if everything that was on that

00:13:06.840 website was truthful if all of it is people complaining about working with stephanie jones

00:13:13.160 and saying that she is a horrible boss and she's unethical and whatever,

00:13:20.020 that is not really illegal.

00:13:22.360 It's not illegal to create a website about someone and state facts about that person.

00:13:27.860 So I don't know if Stephanie Jones can point to anything in those websites

00:13:31.920 that were actually untrue, but I guess we're going to find out more.

00:13:35.740 She's also attaching here a deposition where Jed Wallace said

00:13:40.760 he knew nothing about any of these websites in the Rebel Wilson case. And Stephanie Jones is

00:13:47.580 claiming that he's lying because there is an audio tape of him. And you also have this text

00:13:53.820 exchange between Melissa Nathan and Rebel Wilson. And yeah, all of this stuff is just so high school

00:13:59.860 to me. I can't believe that this stuff is going on behind the scenes in Hollywood. It's mind-blowing

00:14:05.560 to me. Okay, so let's get into how Ryan Reynolds rewrote the script again for the movie he has

00:14:12.360 out now called Mayday, and how Justin Baldoni was struggling to hold back tears at the red carpet

00:14:19.240 of It Ends With Us. But before we get into that, a big thank you to the sponsor of this video,

00:14:25.260 Quinz. I love finding those timeless pieces that I can wear repeatedly without feeling that I'm

00:16:07.480 flaw okay so let's get back into it of course people magazine is just pouring out ryan reynolds

00:16:13.900 content and this article is one of them and i think this is doing a lot more harm than good

00:16:20.380 to him actually. It says here that Ryan Reynolds shares the dumbest joke he added to new movie

00:16:27.880 Mayday and how he creates his best off the cut lines. This is so interesting. I wonder if they 0.88

00:16:35.040 did this story to get back at him or to harm him or if they're actually that delusional that they

00:16:41.940 think that this is a great look for him. As you know there is so much evidence of Ryan Reynolds

00:16:47.780 rewriting the script of It Ends With Us and we all know how that backfired on both him and Blake

00:16:55.040 so to do a story about how he rewrote the scenes and the lines in this movie as well not a great

00:17:02.740 look it says here that Ryan said to People magazine I had one where Kenneth destroys the

00:17:09.260 floor in an apartment of his daughter and he's doing it just chopping a hole in the floor

00:17:14.720 And I asked her, do you own or rent?

00:17:18.480 That was the joke. 0.96

00:17:19.780 And it was just the dumbest joke, but I love it, Ryan said. 0.97

00:17:23.780 And it's sort of, for whatever reason, kind of works in that moment. 0.98

00:17:28.500 It's just one of those pedantic, annoying things that you fall in love with.

00:17:32.820 The actor credited the film's writers, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly,

00:17:39.480 with providing the cast with an amazing script.

00:17:42.700 So he didn't need to get as creative joke-wise.

00:17:47.440 He didn't need to take over the entire script this time.

00:17:51.380 Just like add a few jokes as he went along.

00:17:55.320 And you know, a lot of people have been complaining.

00:17:57.080 A lot of his co-stars have been complaining about how his improvisation just ruins the shoot sometimes.

00:18:03.540 And it makes the shoot go on for so much longer.

00:18:07.220 And there's a lot of delays because of that.

00:18:09.880 anyway he's continuing here to say there wasn't a ton of like oh how do i fix that bad joke or that

00:18:16.700 bad you know it was all great but i like to try a variety of things and it says here mayday isn't

00:18:26.740 the only film in which reynolds has improvised to add some levity to the script however the free

00:18:33.580 Guy Star noted that his approach depends on the movie. Some movies I'm properly writing on,

00:18:40.280 so you're rewriting. I would load my phone up with all outs, like 100 outs alternations,

00:18:48.780 not just for me, but my co-stars and all that stuff, Reynolds shared. So I love trying out a

00:18:55.500 new joke, but you really don't know the night before. You have to get there, see the space.

00:19:01.860 if you're trying to do something that you thought of in advance the night before,

00:19:07.400 chances are it's not going to work.

00:19:11.000 Interesting.

00:19:12.260 Ryan Reynolds is a producer on this movie as well.

00:19:15.760 But when you look at IMDb, there are 10 producers of this movie.

00:19:20.340 So of course, if all of them would have the same power of the script as Ryan Reynolds

00:19:25.440 and keep rewriting things,

00:19:27.480 Can you imagine what a mess that would be for everyone involved?

00:19:32.440 Just a reminder of what he did to the script of It Ends With Us, 0.54

00:19:35.800 how he butchered it, and how he added in ridiculous, childish Deadpool jokes.

00:19:43.040 And Sony was not having it.

00:19:45.560 And by the way, they thought for a long time that Blake Lively was doing these changes to the script,

00:19:51.560 but it was all Ryan Reynolds.

00:19:53.580 And I've gone through a lot of these changes and showed how Sony was just crossing out things and then just adding little notes on the side, like, please, this is ridiculous. 0.71

00:20:03.980 This is childish.

00:20:05.260 Like this one, for example, just a short example here.

00:20:08.360 There's so many examples like this where Ryle was saying to Lily, Justin Baldoni's character, was saying to Blake Lively's character, I was just gonna, I have glossophobia.

00:20:21.100 it's a medical term for fairer public speaking I used to have to run to the bathroom

00:20:26.520 and Lily says please stop talking and then I think it was Angie and Eddie from Sony who wrote this

00:20:33.860 here on the side saying please god no mention of a run to the bathroom when we are supposed to be

00:20:40.920 turning up the heat he is rile not Michael Cera I do love Cera she says but dot dot dot and then

00:20:50.240 she's crossed out more stuff here from lily saying genuinely appreciates for the lifeline

00:20:55.520 i want that very much ryle says and then angie from sony says here this scene is so much sexier

00:21:03.760 with less she kept saying in that script that everything was much sexier when you took out

00:21:10.080 everything that ryan reynolds added in the script but anyways i just wanted to mention that in

00:21:15.340 regards to this article when people magazine is trying to make ryan reynolds look like a genius

00:21:20.660 for rewriting and being so funny when we all know what he actually does and also keep in mind that

00:21:27.960 his production and marketing company maximum effort was involved in mayday so i'm guessing

00:21:33.740 they were responsible for all this marketing for all these reels that apple tv put on instagram

00:21:39.620 where they had to turn off the comment section.

00:21:42.940 Yeah, what a big mess this movie has been,

00:21:45.500 the promotion of this movie.

00:21:47.240 I mean, I can only imagine all the crisis meetings

00:21:49.800 that's been going on behind the scenes over at Apple TV.

00:21:53.980 Anyways, I came across this interview

00:21:56.160 with Justin Baldoni the other day.

00:21:58.680 I was doing research on something else

00:22:00.520 and then this popped up.

00:22:01.660 He's here in the studio at CBS Morning

00:22:04.180 and then Gail is asking him,

00:22:06.860 you know, how was the premiere?

00:22:08.680 wasn't that amazing and just in response like this and the premiere was last night premiere was

00:22:16.020 last night was it oh it was so beautiful it's like to to work on something for so long um and

00:22:22.640 then to celebrate it with the people you love uh yeah i was kind of speechless all night yeah can

00:22:28.760 you imagine what that must have felt like for him as we've learned later on he was sent to the

00:22:35.760 basement of his own premiere and then sent to another theater to watch the film because Blake

00:22:42.840 Lively could not be in the same room as him and here he has to sit and pretend that this premiere

00:22:50.300 was such a wonderful wonderful experience for him and as he's saying I'm kind of lost for words here

00:22:57.100 it's just like it's so heartbreaking to watch can you imagine when you have to tell your friends

00:23:04.260 and family like we are not going into this theater we are going down to the basement and they have to

00:23:10.120 sit down there in the basement until Blake Lively Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman and the rest of the

00:23:16.400 cast is done posting and doing interviews on that red carpet and then after that they're being snuck

00:23:22.680 out somewhere to go and watch the film in a separate theater anyways there's also another

00:23:28.300 interview with the same reporter who interviewed ryan reynolds from extra uh who's interviewing

00:23:35.480 justin baldoni on the red carpet and when i watched that interview i was like it is so clear

00:23:41.180 that justin is about to start crying any minutes it it uh i'm a little speechless it feels it feels

00:23:51.180 very surreal i i probably should have like gathered myself before i stepped on the carpet and

00:23:56.300 and took all of this in i don't know how far in advance he was told that he was only allowed to

00:24:04.960 be on this red carpet for a short amount of time before blake lively arrived and you can look in

00:24:11.720 this interview how he's being paranoid looking around him and you see his publicist jennifer

00:24:17.660 abel on the side there making sure that everything goes smoothly she's trying to just put on a smile

00:24:23.580 as well and just the way he's answering these questions how respectful he is and how i'm sure

00:24:30.860 inside he's so worried that the press is going to find out that he is about to go down to the

00:24:38.140 basement my dad and my mom are here my aunt my uncle my uncle who never shows up to anything

00:24:43.540 he's never even been to new york and my cousin who just lost her husband and this is a family

00:24:48.500 fair and my best friends are here and uh you know i think all of us just it just took a village to

00:24:55.460 make this film none of this would happen without my wife who did that invisible work of being with

00:24:59.860 the children while i was able to make this movie that doesn't get celebrated nearly enough and

00:25:04.420 yeah and then he even says really nice things about blake lively i mean i'm so impressed by

00:25:12.900 justin baldoni just tell me what it was like also uh collaborating with blake oh she's a she's a

00:25:18.820 creative force she's a genius every she was involved in every aspect of this production and

00:25:22.800 everything she touched she made better i mean for him to just stand there and say that after the

00:25:27.300 things that she and ryan did to him they did everything they could in their power to get the

00:25:36.200 press to start speculating about what had happened on the set of It Ends With Us. Blake lightly asked

00:25:43.440 the cast to unfollow Justin because she was hoping that the press would find out about it or write

00:25:50.580 about it when Leslie Sloan called them to leak this information. Yeah, I think Justin Baldoni

00:25:56.220 deserves an Oscar for keeping a straight face through all of these interviews. Yeah, anyways,
