Flaawsome Talk with Kjersti Flaa - Wow, this is UNREAL !!

00:00:00.000 I can't believe Blake Lively showed up again in another store in New York City yesterday.

00:00:11.200 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk, I'm Sashdi Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:19.980 I can't believe Blake Lively showed up again in another store in New York City yesterday.

00:00:26.600 And Ryan Reynolds managed to find his way into the audience at Stephen Colbert's last show.

00:00:33.620 As you might know, his show has been cancelled on CBS.

00:00:37.340 And I'm guessing since he didn't want Ryan Reynolds as his last guest, he gave him a place in the audience.

00:00:43.180 And now the public is reacting to all of this.

00:00:46.620 I also want to mention this interesting story about how the elite weaponizes charity as crisis PR now.

00:00:54.180 And guess who's in that story?

00:00:55.860 Blake Lively. Okay so you thought maybe Blake would only show up at the Fendi store on Monday

00:01:01.860 and that was her PR tour of the week but think again because yesterday she showed up at another

00:01:08.200 store. Daily Mail picked this up saying Blake Lively's rehabilitation tour continues in New

00:01:14.260 York City after humiliating Justin Baldoni's settlement. They're saying just two weeks after

00:01:20.400 her humiliating settlement with Justin the actress cracked a glowing smile and warmly posed with a

00:01:27.940 friend at the Gucci high jury event in New York City marking her second night out in a row after

00:01:34.760 months spent under the radar amid the explosive events with us lawsuits and then they're describing

00:01:40.320 how she looked and how happy she was and blah blah blah and that she was at the Fendi event the

00:01:44.800 before. I feel Blake Lively's PR strategy now is terrible. She's trying to uncancel herself by just

00:01:52.580 showing up all the time. And every time she does that, people get more and more annoyed. As you

00:01:59.580 might remember, she pledged a couple of weeks ago that her work would continue after this lawsuit

00:02:05.380 because there's so much important work to be done to change the laws in America so more people can

00:02:11.720 do what she did to Justin Baldoni. But instead of actually engaging in charity work or engaging

00:02:18.420 with victims of SH and victims of digital violence, she is going to luxury stores in New

00:02:26.340 York City, posing for the camera, wearing really expensive clothes. I mean, talk about tone-deaf

00:02:32.420 comeback. And as you might remember, her previous strategy, her previous PR strategy, was to post 0.94

00:02:38.840 about baked goods and her kids, making sure that everyone remembers that she's a great mom

00:02:45.880 and she loves cooking. But now her new strategy is to lift up other women in the luxury brand 1.00

00:02:54.480 industry. She posted this from the event yesterday. So this is Brent Neal Jewry, a very luxurious 0.79

00:03:03.040 jewelry brand. And they had this opening or they had an event in the store yesterday. I don't know

00:03:08.240 if she was invited or if she just showed up but at least she's pretending here that she's really

00:03:12.700 close friends with the owner or with the designer and when I read this I was like this is what Blake

00:03:18.880 Lively wants us to believe that she is the way that she is describing this woman listen to this

00:03:25.640 I have known Brent Neal Jewry for nearly 10 years now I started as a fan who came across her work

00:03:32.300 on Instagram and was blown away by the craftsmanship and quality. She grabbed my eye

00:03:37.840 instantly with her unique ability to balance fairy tale, useful feeling, whimsy with clean 1.00

00:03:43.880 sophistication, the way she can create the most feminine and playful shapes with the most masculine

00:03:49.260 and serious setting and vice versa. Felt bold and fresh. As you know, Blake, why we kept saying

00:03:57.180 in doing the dance with us press tour that two things can be true at the same time and the

00:04:02.920 masculine energy and the feminine energy and you know she loves her word salad and she continues

00:04:09.220 i slide in i slid into her dm as a fan her account is pure candy for my eyeballs we became friends

00:04:17.680 over the many years she has been such a generous and supportive woman not just in my life everyone

00:04:23.800 who knows her has a story about her quiet act of kindness that she doesn't go around touting

00:04:31.040 they're just here they're just for her because that's who she is and then you see Blake Lively

00:04:38.660 hugging this woman like crazy and she's just standing there posing next to her like oh my god

00:04:44.660 I hope I don't have to close off my comment section after this photo's been taken 0.95

00:04:48.640 and then she continues lifting other women up in this other post that she posted in regards to 0.98

00:04:56.060 that Fendi event yeah it looks like this was from that event because she was wearing the same

00:05:01.060 trench coat and she posted this on her story saying gorgeous necklace I got to wear by XO

00:05:08.280 the Bijou box whose kindness here we have it again kindness is the only thing more extraordinary than

00:05:15.700 her talent. She's the CFO of a toy company and makes jewelry on the side because it's her

00:05:22.200 passion. She's also a fiercely dedicated mom and uses her time to constantly lift up other women. 0.99

00:05:29.680 She's a remarkable example of the multitudes women hold. Love you, Dolly. And then she's

00:05:35.260 lifting up another woman here saying, I learned about her from the queen, Aurora.world, who is 1.00

00:05:41.400 abundant in every way constantly highlighting other talent in her field she doesn't look at 1.00

00:05:47.820 other women as competition she is the greatest type she's the greatest hype girl and advocate

00:05:55.760 she's also wildly talented and creative and her work is what dreams are made of love you tiffany

00:06:03.480 i mean don't you agree that this sounds like something that blake lively want people to say

00:06:09.500 about her so she's saying she's pouring out all this goodwill towards these women in hopes that

00:06:16.280 maybe they would say the same thing about her kindness greatness following their passions

00:06:23.200 being a great mom all those things that blake lively wants us to believe that she is okay so

00:06:30.860 let's talk about ryan reynolds on the colbert show this was so embarrassing and a lot of people

00:06:37.220 noticed the way he looks right now and a lot of people noticed that he looks exhausted. Yeah people

00:06:44.680 were being brutal in the commentation. As I said in the intro he wasn't a guest at the show which

00:06:50.880 was the last show ever of Stephen Colbert's late night show. He was just in the audience because

00:06:58.200 he wants attention. I've never seen anyone so desperate for attention and validation as Ryan

00:07:04.120 Reynolds. This man is so insecure. Anyways, before I get into that, I wanted to thank the sponsor of

00:07:11.340 this video, One Skin. People have asked me a few times what I use on my skin and I've been talking

00:07:16.720 about One Skin many times here on my channel. I've been using them for over a year now and I can

00:07:23.220 genuinely say that I really trust and love this brand. I've had so many different skin routines

00:07:29.220 throughout the years but I have to say that one skin has really made a difference. I started seeing

00:07:36.760 little peeling on my chin straight away when I started using them. A new fresh younger looking

00:07:43.000 skin appeared underneath. So what is the difference with one skin? They actually use something called 0.72

00:07:48.720 OS1 peptide and that was discovered by skin scientists to target something they called

00:07:55.620 zombie cells and those are the aging skin cells that contribute to wrinkles, dullness and loss

00:08:03.540 of firmness. So this is not just about hydration. These are designed to support healthier skin

00:08:09.720 as you age. I've been using this moisturizer constantly for my face and this one for my eyes

00:08:17.020 and after one year I really noticed that my skin looks smoother, healthier and less tired overall.

00:08:23.780 Right now, I'm really jet-lagged, and I haven't slept well in so many nights,

00:08:27.880 and that makes it really important for me to have a skincare brand that I trust.

00:08:32.500 For a limited time, you can get 15% off Oneskin by using the code FLAW,

00:08:37.720 my last name, at oneskin.co slash FLAW, F-L-A-A.

00:08:42.680 That's 15% off at oneskin.co slash FLAW, with code FLAW.

00:08:47.780 After you purchase, they may ask where you've heard about them,

00:08:49.900 So please tell them I sent you to support my channel.

00:08:54.200 Okay, so let's get to Ryan Reynolds' appearance yesterday at the Stephen Colbert show.

00:08:59.220 So as I said, he wasn't a guest.

00:09:01.740 He wasn't interviewed.

00:09:02.940 He was just making a joke as an audience member.

00:09:07.220 And Daily Mail picked it up saying that Stephen Colbert left many fans unimpressed after Ryan Reynolds appeared as a surprise guest during his farewell tour on Thursday.

00:09:17.760 as The Late Show aired its final star-studded episode after a 33-year run.

00:09:24.600 So I'm going to show you the clip where Ryan Reynolds is making a joke first

00:09:29.100 before we continue here talking about how people actually reacted to this.

00:09:34.540 Ryan Reynolds.

00:09:36.720 Ryan.

00:09:38.540 Ryan, it's great to see you, but I hate to tell you, buddy, you're not my last guest.

00:09:43.340 Ouchie.

00:09:43.680 I was talking about your keyboardist, Corey Bernhardt.

00:09:47.760 thank you thank you please stop dming me never yes that was so cringe wasn't it

00:10:12.440 He gave bananas to one of the band members and pretended that he had a crush on him.

00:10:18.580 It's so desperate.

00:10:20.140 I feel like this appearance by Ryan Reynolds just says everything about him right now.

00:10:25.220 People notice that he looks really tired, that he looks like this lawsuit has taken a toll on him.

00:10:31.540 And I think it's taken a toll on him.

00:10:33.520 And I think it definitely has taken a toll on his marriage as well.

00:10:37.580 a lot of people sent me this video where people are saying that Ryan is having an affair. I don't

00:10:43.480 know anything about that but I do believe that their marriage is not in a good place just by

00:10:47.900 noticing how both of them are just doing separate things all the time. They're never together

00:10:53.440 anymore and if Ryan ever puts out anything nice about his wife it's on his story something that

00:10:59.020 disappears within 24 hours and it's always like an old selfie that we've seen before or you could

00:11:04.740 see that it's not been taken recently. So I believe these two people are not spending any time together

00:11:09.700 at the moment. So Daily Mail pointed out some people, some fans, or not fans I guess, were saying

00:11:17.220 on X or in the comment section, one is saying that who thought it would be a good idea to trot

00:11:21.900 Ryan Reynolds out? Was the goal to get as many assholes on screen as possible? One said on X 0.99

00:11:28.680 and another one why have ryan reynolds on his last show oh another wrote ryan reynolds

00:11:34.840 another chimed in ryan reynolds what another person fumed yeah it seems like ryan would do

00:11:44.060 anything for attention now yeah it doesn't matter if it's good or bad also yesterday i don't know

00:11:48.700 if this was shot yesterday but the ankler one of the newsletters in hollywood did an interview with

00:11:55.660 him and Rob Mack because their Wrexham show has been nominated for an Emmy I think and they sat

00:12:02.900 down with both of them and interviewed them and they tagged Ryan Reynolds in that on his Instagram

00:12:09.020 and the comment section is open by the way there are some interesting comments but a lot of people

00:12:14.100 are actually like oh yes great Ryan Reynolds is so nice and he's so open and I love his openness

00:12:19.940 in this interview and I'm like where have you been the last couple of years but anyways he's

00:12:23.640 mentioning in this interview that he loves to learn and listen came into the town we really

00:12:30.860 focused on listening and not saying we know the answers to anything the power of I don't know is

00:12:37.120 so exceptional to me it's like as I've gotten older it's just more and more resonant it you

00:12:41.660 know the more you can be willing to say I don't know is really an invitation to learn and grow

00:12:46.300 yes I guess that's something he should have done before taking over Justin Baldoni's movie if he

00:12:52.840 would have just learned and listened from another man things would have looked very different right

00:13:00.360 now if you missed my episode yesterday i spoke about how ryan reynolds helped blake lively to

00:13:06.800 take over the movie and he was the driving force behind all of it and he used s and he used esra

00:13:14.100 hudson his attorney to help him do this as smooth as possible and to avoid any liability and here

00:13:23.100 he is pretending that he loves to learn and how and to listen yeah anyways there's another story

00:13:30.400 today in news nation talking about hallowed's elite weaponizing charity for crisis pr this is

00:13:38.320 the time where Blake and Ryan should have crisis PR behind them because the PR that they're doing

00:13:45.280 both of them right now is not helping them in any way. What they should be doing is focusing

00:13:51.300 on charity work. Anyway so this story says that when an A-lister reputation starts to crumble the

00:13:57.260 oldest trick in the playbook is to hide behind a shield of philanthropy turning charity into a

00:14:03.200 transactional, often transparent trick to help people like Meghan Markle, Blake Lively, Naomi

00:14:09.040 Campbell, Amber Heard, and Angelina Jolie. And here the story says it's the default setting of

00:14:15.060 any single scandal, PR marketing and branding maven. Eliza Lichts told me, noting that the

00:14:20.640 ultimate tell of a celebrity true motive lies in their longevity. When you look at the track record

00:14:27.540 though of like when people start doing it or how long they do it or if they do it long enough

00:14:33.680 for like the scandal to move on that's the tell I don't think a lot of people look at Blake Lively

00:14:41.420 and think charity I do think a lot of people look at Angelina Jolie that way she has really created

00:14:48.300 a brand around her with her charity work and I do believe Angelina Jolie is a kind person I know

00:14:55.880 there's been a lot of controversy with her and Brad Pitt and all that but my personal experience

00:15:00.860 with Angelina Jolie that the few times I've interviewed her is like she's a genuine authentic

00:15:06.500 nice down-to-earth woman but what do I know I could be totally wrong I just met her in a

00:15:13.380 professional setting but anyways now they're mentioning how Blake Lively pledged to NAACP

00:15:20.900 remember she became the time 100 most influential person or titan last year where everyone's like

00:15:29.420 where did that come from and they're mentioning how that happened here which is like so ridiculous

00:15:35.020 so they're saying then there's blake lively whose personal brand recently sustained massive damage

00:15:40.960 following a disastrous press tour footage ends with us lively's philanthropic pattern goes back

00:15:46.740 to 2019 when the actress faced severe backlash over the plantation wedding to Ryan Reynolds

00:15:53.020 following the George Floyd shooting.

00:15:55.360 In 2019, headlines blared that Lively and her husband Reynolds were committing $2 million

00:16:01.860 for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Young Center for Immigrant Children's

00:16:11.280 Rights.

00:16:11.880 but a year later the amount was announced as two hundred thousand dollars wow so at first they said

00:16:20.080 they were gonna give two million dollars because the scandal this was a big scandal that they got

00:16:25.360 married on that plantation plantation as you know but then a year later they actually just gave two

00:16:31.700 hundred thousand and then this PR person is asked about it and she says my spidey sense is that they

00:16:37.060 pledged two million because that makes a way better headline doesn't it and then what they

00:16:42.620 actually gave was two hundred thousand dollars that is such a scam if you ask me wow but as you

00:16:51.440 know as i also spoke about a couple of days ago blake and ryan they don't like paying people for

00:16:57.480 the work that they do for them so i'm not surprised that they're acting like this when it comes to

00:17:02.820 charity either as you know they owe over two million dollars to contractors building their

00:17:08.020 dream house so now all the building plans has stopped because they haven't paid their bills

00:17:13.400 so that's why this is not surprising to me at all but anyways and they continue here lively was

00:17:18.460 recognized on the time 100 list last year as a philanthropic titan for that donation and this

00:17:25.280 pr person here said that was a brilliant maneuver by her i don't know if that was so brilliant but

00:17:30.000 anyways somebody dusting off a donation from seven years before to say oh my god you're so

00:17:35.480 amazing we're going to honor you now that is a very talented publicist making sure that her

00:17:42.320 client has some positive press around her in a time when she needs it okay yeah so that's what

00:17:47.540 she was saying here that it was smart of her publicist leslie sloan to do that i don't know

00:17:52.980 how many people had to push Time 100 to make Blake Vively a philanthropic titan for that event.

00:18:01.100 And I think it backfired on her tremendously. And here we hear more from this PR expert who says

00:18:07.120 that she slams the lack of consistent devotion to the causes these stars claims to champion.

00:18:14.120 How convenient for her. Why is she not sticking with what she learned from her plantation scandal?

00:18:20.000 Why is she not supporting them anymore?

00:18:22.200 I don't know.

00:18:22.880 Apparently NAACP isn't that chic anymore.

00:18:27.060 There are also rumors that Lively will start a charity

00:18:29.840 dedicated to DV victims and online bullying,

00:18:34.400 which has shades of Naomi Campbell.

00:18:38.560 Yeah, wouldn't that be funny if Blake Lively actually did something like that?

00:18:42.840 I don't believe we're going to see that.

00:18:44.580 And if she does that, we all know it's just for show.

00:18:48.020 we all know it's just fake so what's the point anyways that's it for me on a Friday here from

00:18:55.040 Spain in Mallorca I'm gonna take the weekend off you guys so I won't be here until Monday I need

00:19:01.120 a little break and I need to get back into my sleeping pattern because it's really hard for

00:19:06.000 me to adjust to another time zone I don't get much sleep at all so I'm like a zombie right now

00:19:10.940 but anyways thank you so much for watching and thank you for subscribing and if you haven't yet
