00:01:12.500
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:01:15.600
A massive show for you today, including our take on the settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni
00:01:22.040
that broke yesterday afternoon, shortly after we went off the air.
00:01:28.920
I'm pretty sure I know exactly why it happened, and I have a prediction.
00:01:33.600
Things are only going to get worse for Blake Lively from here, and we'll walk you through why.
00:01:42.740
where out-of-touch elites get to show off their bizarre fashion choices,
00:01:47.500
often with hidden messaging for us peons to ponder.
00:01:50.760
This year's theme was costume art. It's basically a dress code of fashion is art. Don't understand
00:02:00.120
it? No one does. You're not supposed to. It's just supposed to make them feel better than you
00:02:04.900
and you feel dumb. You don't get to understand high fashion. You just have to be subjected to
0.99
00:02:09.580
it and ideally envy all of them. You're busy, but let me tell you about Daily Look.

you. One last time, dailylook.com, promo code M-E-G-Y-N. There are so many choices to highlight
00:03:36.220
and mock this year. It was very hard to know where to start, but we will begin with the 67-year-old
00:03:42.560
Madonna, okay, who ditched her signature blonde curls and lingerie in favor of a more gothic,
0.98
00:03:49.260
witchy, shipwrecked look. Look at her. At least she has clothes on. The ship on her head
1.00
00:03:57.220
had a scarf so long it needed its own payroll. Seven people carried it. Seven to carry the train
0.94
00:04:05.220
from the ship on her head. She was also carrying a horn instrument for some reason. I don't know
00:04:14.240
why. Again, it's not for you to understand. It's just to confuse you and ideally for you to feel
00:04:20.140
dumb because you don't get it because you're not Madonna or Anna Wintour. We're going to get right
0.92
00:04:26.280
to probably the worst, the absolute worst. I mean, honestly, just when you think Lena Dunham
00:04:32.900
cannot get any homelier. She shows up at the Met Gala after a seven-year absence from the public
00:04:38.820
eye, a seven-year delightful absence. And she's shaved off her eyebrows and seems to have gained
00:04:45.840
even more weight. Not only that, but her enormous shins and calves are covered in some sort of weird
0.91
00:04:53.320
marks. She's got obviously some sort of a skin condition. They don't appear to be bruises.
1.00
00:04:58.160
It's like, I don't know, weird little warts or moles or like, I have no idea what's going on.
00:05:06.460
But in addition to her other obvious problems, she appears to have some sort of a skin condition on these very large legs.
0.99
00:05:22.060
She did embrace the year's theme in the form of a red feathered and sequined Valentino gown.
00:05:37.640
It's amazing because you had, and I'll get to Nicole Kidman in a second, but Nicole Kidman showed up in red sequins and was, of course, stunning.
1.00
00:05:45.960
And then this was like, you know, like if Nicole Kidman was like an angelic figure, this was like demonic.
00:05:54.940
I mean, Lena Dunham, she looked like a stuffed sausage in the thing.
00:06:07.740
She just chose to assault us visually with this gown, which looks like something my housekeeper uses on my kitchen pantry shelves.
00:06:24.360
I don't know if that's because of her size, her being out of shape or her dress, which, you know, went down so low.
1.00
00:06:32.700
Maybe it gave her like the little geisha legs.
0.96
00:06:35.920
I didn't really mean to say little legs because that's not what we were seeing.
00:06:39.440
But Lena Dunham, I forgive you, but it was tough for me to get there.
1.00
00:06:47.780
She loves a good costume, but this look was apparently inspired.
1.00
00:06:58.300
It had something to do with the Acropolis and like one of the handmaidens of the Acropolis.
00:07:07.940
I was recently at the Acropolis, and I don't remember anybody who looks like that anywhere.
00:07:17.620
She looks kind of like a white version of the Statue of Liberty.
00:07:22.080
So she told Vogue that after getting inspired by the 1846 sculpture Veiled Vestal, she wanted to, quote, become her.
00:07:32.220
And so she transformed herself into a Livingstone sculpture.
00:07:39.880
You don't look recognizable, which I mean, you know, it's kind of it defeats the point of what Anna Wintour wants, which is for all of us to be noticing that the A-level celebrities and how fashionable they are.
00:07:55.680
I think that's probably I just answered my own question.
0.99
00:07:59.300
She seems like a nice person, but she is not an alias celebrity.
1.00
00:08:01.940
She'll show up to the opening of an envelope.
0.98
00:08:04.380
She's basically on every singing reality show as just, you know, your basic good-looking guest.
00:08:09.020
I mean, honestly, she's not really even a star.
00:08:12.200
So I guess it makes sense to go completely unrecognizable.
0.97
00:08:16.400
One of the most criticized looks of the night was former astronaut Katy Perry.
0.91
00:08:21.320
She chose a rather unconventional look, though it was kind of a cheat from Kim Kardashian's look a couple of years ago.
0.83
00:08:28.060
she was sporting a white Stella McCartney gown with a long train, a face full of metal.
00:08:37.360
Okay, so like a full metal mask. I mean, honestly, Kim Kardashian did this a couple years ago
0.95
00:08:42.540
where she had a mask that hit her face. Like, do you really want to be following a Kardashian
00:08:47.120
on the style choices? Like, you know, but maybe she does because she's, you know, good friends
00:08:53.340
with Lauren Sanchez, who is good friends with all the Kardashians. So it's possible she doesn't
00:08:57.360
find that shameful. She had matching white gloves for the face mask. The gloves were,
00:09:01.840
of course, six fingered. Was that a nod to her treason trip to outer space and what she saw?
00:09:08.640
Did she see aliens during her 12 minute trip up and back down? Have you been?
00:09:13.920
Okay. People Magazine reports that the weird mask was a nod to Perry's public performance
00:09:20.780
as art. It was a, it was a nod. You see here she is on the steps leading in. Um, and it was designed
00:09:28.500
to be quote, a literal and symbolic reflection that invites the observer to consider that their
00:09:34.040
perception of others can mirror their own internal war world and conversely mask truth.
00:09:38.960
It's a long way of saying, stop writing mean things about me. I'm an absolutely lovely person
00:09:45.840
And I don't want to be bullied for allegedly shoving my vag in some unsuspecting young woman's face to the point where the woman vomited and a criminal investigation into me is now underway in Australia.
00:09:57.540
That's OK. Yeah, that's your issues reflecting on you from my mask.
00:10:03.940
Actress Sarah Paulson, this is she was the AOC of this year's Met Gala.
0.55
00:10:09.080
She wore a dollar bill mask made out of leather to reflect the 1% being blinded by money.
0.99
00:10:17.600
This woman's worth at reportedly over $12 million.
1.00
00:10:19.960
I guarantee you it's more like $30 million she's worth.
00:10:22.900
The designer said the collection was a reflection of the greed and corruption that comes with extreme power.
00:10:30.020
The Met Gala costs roughly $100,000 per person.
00:10:39.500
So just stop with the lectures on elitism and wealth from the people who attend this thing.
00:10:47.700
You get invited, you know, by Anna or by somebody who bought a table.
00:10:54.620
So like if you're Estee Lauder and you swoop in and buy a table for $350,000, you can't just invite who you want.
00:11:00.800
Anna Wintour has to tell you who from your company can come.
00:11:03.480
What self-respecting businessman would agree to this?
00:11:11.540
So in any event, they still want to lecture us on money.
00:11:19.200
Also sporting a blindfolded look, actress Rachel Zegler, you know, the woke Snow White.
00:11:26.280
She was in the 2022 live action remake for Disney.
0.97
00:11:30.180
She decided Snow Woke, yeah, that's what she should have been called.
00:11:34.860
Calling the original, quote, extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power.
1.00
00:11:39.960
Look at her bizarre movements with her arms in her mouth.
0.97
00:11:48.680
She's in an outfit that she says was inspired by the 1833 painting The Execution of Lady Jane Grey.
00:12:00.360
She's blindfolded because they're going to chop her head off?
0.97
00:12:05.960
Some of her fans believe that this was a reference to her own encounter with cancel culture
00:12:15.280
For being a fucking annoying person, how is she wrongfully scapegoated?
1.00
00:12:18.960
She is annoying, and we all called her out on it.
1.00
00:12:27.300
Like very few people, when their songs come on the radio,
00:12:34.520
This guy's one of them because he's so creepy
0.83
00:12:37.120
and disturbing and obsessed with the sexualization
0.98
00:12:45.400
his own enormous, he makes Lena Dunham look like Twiggy.
00:12:50.420
And that's 33-year-old British pop star, Sam Smith.
0.99
00:12:53.480
He's disgusting. He describes himself as non-binary. He goes by they, them, of course.
1.00
00:13:00.340
So he naturally showed up wearing a dress, an embellished black gown weighing 52 pounds.
00:13:06.240
And let me tell you something. He didn't need any extra pounds put on him. Okay.
00:13:09.920
His coat was adorned with over 230,000 crystals and beads, hand placed by a team of 45 artisans,
00:13:17.540
over 800 hours of work. Imagine, imagine like having to work on one of these gowns and thinking,
00:13:24.460
oh my God, who am I getting? Am I getting Nicole Kidman? You know, am I getting like Zendaya? No,
0.60
00:13:29.980
you're getting the fat they, them, Sam Smith, devil worshiper. Oh my God. Now this is Hunter
0.99
00:13:37.860
Schaefer. Hunter is a 27 year old man dressing up as a woman for the red carpet. Schaefer is an
00:13:46.400
actor on the HBO show Euphoria, he showed up in a Prada gown inspired by a painting of
00:13:52.200
a nine-year-old girl. Why is a man showing up to the Met Gala depicting a little girl?
00:14:01.560
You're fucking sick, okay? You're sick. Sam Smith is sick. Anna Wintour is sick. And by the way,
1.00
00:14:08.560
Lauren Sanchez Bezos, as an honorary chair of this event, which you paid $10 million to be,
00:14:13.980
Are you okay with this? Like, do you actually sanction a grown man showing up dressed as a single digit girl? Fuck these people. Honestly, they're so out of touch. Anna Wintour, the 76 year old Anna Wintour, you're good with this? Is that art to you? The exploitation of little girls by grown ass men? What part of high fashion are we not getting here? Because we don't want any part of it.
00:14:38.920
then there were the moments that we're supposed to just like witness but not say anything about
00:14:44.500
this one's truly bizarre everyone's like talking about it but they're like they're they don't want
00:14:49.100
to actually say what they're thinking uh this is aaron rose philip philip's being lauded as
00:14:55.000
making history at the met gala for being and this is not a joke the first african-american
00:14:59.480
transgender model with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair no less to attend the event i mean
00:15:04.800
like is she a lesbian that's that i think that's the only thing she's missing she is she a lesbian
00:15:11.480
this is like okay we all know what they're doing here she was born in antigua raised in the u.s
00:15:19.840
she's 25 years old it says she or he i don't know i'm not i don't know it's a trans person
00:15:28.800
i i have no idea what the natural sex is and as you know i like to go by normal
00:16:07.460
OK, we also had to endure the women who will go to extreme lengths to never age.
1.00
00:16:19.420
Dressed as a 10 year old boy, I think that was her costume.
00:16:23.880
I mean, I have a 12 year old boy, so I know what the torsos of young boys look like.
00:16:36.160
This is before a young boy's shoulders have grown outward.
00:16:49.320
I guess she's just the middle of the pencil.
0.98
00:16:56.160
Honestly, she's got a little, like a, it looks like a chest binder.
0.99
00:16:59.420
Except she has no breasts, really, to bind.
1.00
00:17:01.540
Vera Wang is flat chested. That's fine. She's leaning in. I guess this is the new thing. We're
1.00
00:17:06.380
supposed to lean into the super flat chested look. It's gross. I'm sorry. It's gross. Her hair is
0.88
00:17:11.720
bleach blonde. She's like all skin, skin and bones with one arm and a puffy black sleeve. Move on,
0.89
00:17:19.040
Vera. Move on. Okay. Lauren Sanchez Bezos. I have to be honest. I expected more. I thought
0.96
00:17:30.040
At least she'd have some, like, sort of big fashion statement that we would be like, oh, okay, you know, cool, whatever.
0.95
00:17:36.900
No, this is, she could have worn this anywhere.
00:17:40.700
It's like a blue dress with, it's, you know, it's not topless.
00:17:48.900
It's got a V to show off her enormous fake breasts.
1.00
00:17:55.120
She's very, very proud of her massive fake bust.
00:17:56.940
I mean, it's not like something we can't all have.
1.00
00:17:59.720
Literally, just pay your doctor and you can have her size triple whatever breasts.
00:18:06.080
But she too seemed to be desperately trying to look like a Kardashian, but I've got to be honest, not as good.
00:18:12.260
But let me tell you something, the real problem with Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
00:18:17.800
Like your 55-year-old woman, 56, who changes her name at that point?
0.87
00:18:26.940
it's the face. It is the face. She is so pulled and prodded. She looks, Doug called it, like an
00:18:35.620
alien. I mean, which is perfect given what she did with outer space. Look how pulled and prodded
1.00
00:18:41.380
she is. The cheeks, sister, I'm going to tell you, you have all the money in the world and I know
0.97
00:18:47.760
that you can correct this. You go to your, not your surgeon. You clearly have the wrong one.
00:19:03.120
You go, you tell them you want that filler out of your face.
00:19:06.400
You tell them you want that filler out of your lips.
00:19:10.180
You tell them they've done something to your eyes that's making you look cross-eyed.
00:19:14.260
I don't know what it is, but you look cross-eyed now.
00:19:19.340
At least, I don't have a long history of studying your face.
00:19:21.540
but in your younger pictures, you did not look cross-eyed.
00:19:24.640
You then find a way to cover up some of your large forehead.
00:19:29.900
And then you ease up on the Botox unless you've had a forehead lift and it's no longer movable.
00:19:47.280
But that's because I say to the derm, I want some movement.
00:19:53.860
Lauren, my friend, that's what you need to tell your doc.
00:20:00.100
And if you have a big saggy face when you've gotten your filler taken out of your lips and your weird cheeks, everyone's starting to look Asian.
1.00
00:20:07.960
They're putting so much filler and whatever in their face.
0.99
00:20:10.660
They're all starting to have squinty eyes and look Asian, which is fine if you're Asian, but she's not.
1.00
00:20:19.640
So if everything is saggy, then you can get the Kris Jenner facelift, which would serve you much better than what you are doing.
1.00
00:20:33.920
She's never publicly confirmed whether she's undergone any procedures.
00:20:40.660
That's not technically any of our business, whether she has or hasn't, but, you know, we're allowed to speculate.
0.90
00:20:45.980
And, like, online, people are saying she has more plastic in her face than a Tupperware factory.
00:21:08.500
She is the new head of editorial content at Vogue, okay?
00:21:13.280
You would be forgiven if you did not know that this person is basically the new Anna Wintour.
0.83
00:21:20.580
Look at this frumpy orange tangerine who dared to walk on the Met Gala.
0.55
00:21:33.740
This is no way to present yourself to the world.
00:21:38.660
Stand tall, as erect as possible toward the ceiling.
00:21:48.580
Ideally, always, but certainly when you are at the Met Gala.
00:21:56.320
She's, like, eliminated her neck as a body part.
0.96
00:22:03.660
She's got rounded trapezius, making her look hunchbacked and ogre-like.
0.98
00:22:11.580
And on top of all that, she's wearing a hideous, it's not even really orange-eyed.
0.73
00:22:17.120
It's like more tangerine of a dress that does not look like art at all.
00:22:27.180
You've got Nicole Kidman, who showed up in all red sequins with a lot of feathers in the middle of her dress.
0.99
00:22:36.680
It was reportedly by Chanel, and she looks stunning because Nicole Kidman is, of course, taking care of herself as she ages.
0.95
00:22:47.280
And she's got the long, long, long blonde extensions down below the butt and the huge, huge, huge red feathers around the waist.
1.00
00:22:54.040
and her figure is spectacular and she's spectacular
1.00
00:22:59.780
and that will complete the list of Hollywood A-listers
00:23:04.720
Like, I'm just gonna tell you, there weren't many others.
00:23:10.280
I don't know that it matched the fashion is art theme.
00:23:16.080
Just looked like a dress that she looked amazing in.
1.00
00:23:31.680
And that's unfortunate because, you know, you too can look stunning, but you chose not to.
00:23:47.560
I guess Margot Robbie's also a Hollywood A-lister.
00:23:50.120
But none of the big stars, honestly, like, where were the big stars?
00:23:53.540
Apparently, they tried to move heaven and earth to get Meryl Streep to co-chair the event
00:23:57.740
because she's, of course, in The Devil Wears Prada and The Devil Wears Prada 2,
00:24:01.920
which just hit theaters, portraying a woman called Miranda Priestly,
00:24:10.740
They begged her to come to the Met Gala, and she'd get the full Anna treatment
0.58
00:24:16.480
And to her credit, Meryl Streep was like, oh, hell no.
00:24:27.240
because this year you had a bunch of stars who showed up.
00:24:48.700
and Katy Perry was there without Justin Trudeau
00:24:52.480
and Kylie Jenner was there without Timothee Chalamet.
0.95
00:24:58.960
It looks like something I put on on Halloween,
1.00
00:25:03.380
Justin Bieber wasn't there, but Hailey Bieber,
0.99
00:25:10.860
and Timothee Chalamet, who's dating Kendall Jenner,
00:25:18.700
And good for them because nine times out of 10, if you're a man and you show up at this thing in costume, like on point when it comes to the style, you look like a flaming homosexual, which most of them aren't.
0.92
00:25:32.360
But like if you are a straight man, like Justin Bieber, you don't really want to show up gay, have everybody speculating for days just how gay you are because you were a very gay outfit, which all of these designers are.
0.57
00:25:44.000
And they work out their weird gay fantasies on these male actors or singers who show up.
00:25:52.480
And as a result, their female counterparts just showed up, walked the red carpet.
0.83
00:25:58.340
But the genuine A-list Hollywood talent wasn't there and hasn't been there in years.
00:26:12.520
There was no Dwayne, the rock Johnson. There was no Will Smith. There was no Denzel. Like those
00:26:17.980
people do not attend this thing. It is now much more like the C-listers who you're like,
1.00
00:26:25.320
ah, what do I know Sarah Paulson from again? I can't think of one movie I know her from.
00:26:30.360
I know she was dating the, the woman, um, who's the, the woman from, I don't know. It's the,
0.99
00:26:39.140
the David E. Kelly series, The Practice, who played a judge.
00:26:50.260
We got one big male, literally a very large male.
00:26:59.260
is there anyone, anyone who I recognize who's there?
00:27:16.040
that most normal Americans are actually looking to
00:27:25.760
And Anna Wintour, by the way, you looked gross.
1.00
00:27:35.760
She's very, very anti-black gowns and black clothing.
1.00
00:27:41.280
I don't know if you made a good choice in wearing what you wore.
00:27:49.880
Where was Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Sandra Bullock?
00:27:55.120
Instead, we got people I had to look up and people like Heidi Klum.
00:28:09.240
Kylie Jenner is the one who's with Timothee Chalamet.
00:28:28.060
So if you are a very homely person sitting at home
00:28:32.760
If you had a few surgeries, you could look like her.
00:28:35.400
Because trust me, she looked nothing like this when she was 13, 14, 15.
00:28:38.960
We all watched her on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
00:28:44.180
Kim had on this pointy, like, orange latex number.
0.70
00:28:54.920
And Kylie, the one who's dating Chalamet, looked awesome, too.
00:29:04.020
and there was even a belly button situation going on there
1.00
00:29:10.600
that looked like it was almost falling off of her.
00:29:12.520
So that was kind of sensual, but not inappropriate,
00:29:15.680
which is, you know, the Kardashians can go inappropriate.
00:29:25.880
So for once, I'm giving a thumbs up to the Kardashian four,
00:29:39.120
Let's hope they stayed out of the bathroom
1.00
00:29:40.960
and the dry humping like I saw the last time
0.99
00:29:48.720
it's really all about that walk on the red carpet
00:30:00.260
like you know the people who paid to be at those tables like they're nothing i mean it's really
00:30:05.380
shameful like those poor people like the people who have no public name run up those stairs in
00:30:10.520
shame because no one's interested in them even though they're they look fantastic they've done
00:30:14.600
it but like no one cares if you're not like beyonce whatever um you go in you mill about
00:30:20.920
you look at the displays in the museum you're looking at the celebs you're taking selfies
00:30:27.720
even though you're technically not supposed to,
00:30:34.300
because no one eats when they're in these gowns.
00:30:45.480
They had some good entertainment there this year,
00:30:59.680
Oh, I forgot to mention the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena.
00:31:03.980
I put her in the category with Margot Robbie.
0.98
00:31:13.620
Serena, I don't remember what you wore last night, but your outfit for the night before was dreadful.
0.99
00:31:18.920
It was back in the red sequence theme, and it went all the way up her ass.
0.99
00:31:23.660
I saw total ass of Serena Williams, which, you know, it's a lot.
1.00
00:31:27.060
And the dress was cut all the way up to show ass
1.00
00:31:36.220
That's generally my takeaway with these people
0.99
00:31:43.980
but I really hope that when I'm like Madonna's age
00:31:53.240
I do not need someone to see my fully naked torso
0.94
00:31:56.720
So, or ass here in Serena's case, in order for me to feel sexy or good about myself.
0.97
00:32:02.360
That's like, this is just not, it doesn't work with a huge, long blonde wig, of course.
0.99
00:32:16.980
Blake Lively making her very first Met Gala appearance since 2022.
00:32:22.980
And on the same day, she reached a settlement in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, his studios, over the film It Ends With Us.
00:32:33.160
Lively telling Vogue, quote, I haven't been to the Met since giving birth to my fourth child.
00:32:38.100
Every year, I am a different version of myself than the last.
00:32:41.080
So to be able to stand in the version of myself that I am today.
00:32:45.020
to be able to stand in the version of myself that I am today and all the experiences I have had
00:32:51.080
in strength and confidence is important to me. These are lies. No one who actually feels strong
00:32:57.500
and confident talks about themselves like that. I sit here at the anchor desk in my strength and
00:33:03.960
confidence to bring you the news. Nobody talks like this. Like she's just trying to give you
00:33:09.900
the adjectives she wants you to repeat about her because she has not those things. I mean,
00:33:16.700
I've said this to you many times, but like the six foot seven center doesn't tell you how tall
00:33:21.020
he is. If somebody is telling you the adjectives they are in this way, it is an ultimate, ultimate
00:33:27.800
tell that they don't feel those things about themselves. So she does not feel strong. She
00:33:33.160
feels weak. She does not feel confident. She has to suffer from a lack of confidence, which seems
00:33:38.220
very obvious because she's a bully. And that's how all bullies are. None of them has confidence
0.99
00:33:44.900
or feel strength. That's why they have to behave like that to make them feel those things for a
00:33:50.080
moment or two. And she is a bully. And I have a lot of thoughts on this settlement, why it came
0.99
00:33:56.940
about and why it had to happen, and some new reporting on exactly what changed hands to make
00:34:04.660
this lawsuit go away. And we will talk about that right after this quick, quick break. Don't go
00:34:10.580
away. Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are
00:34:16.340
always getting in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card. They say
00:34:20.760
your credit card and the security it offers are under attack and that Senators Dick Durbin and
00:34:25.260
Roger Marshall want to change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like
00:34:30.300
Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans. Credit cards can keep your payments
00:34:36.080
secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable.
00:34:41.720
The Electronic Payments Coalition says the Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate
00:34:45.720
megastores cut corners on credit card processing, rooting transactions over cheaper, untested networks
00:34:51.540
with weaker security and fewer protections. Find out more about this at guardyourcard.com
00:34:57.660
and consider telling Congress to guard your card.
00:35:05.480
The big news yesterday was the settlement two weeks before trial of the case brought by Blake
00:35:12.700
Lively against Justin Baldoni and his movie studio, not to mention the PR team representing
00:35:19.460
him. This came as a big shock to most because so far they had been saying all along,
00:35:27.240
there'll be no settlement. Like we're, we're going to see this through right to the bitter end
00:35:30.940
and a bitter end. It was indeed. Um, I want to take you back before we kick this off to what
00:35:39.080
Brian Friedman, who represented Justin Baldoni to what he said to me back in January, 2025,
00:35:45.900
right after this thing was filed. Uh, he's a friend. He's also my own personal attorney and
00:35:51.360
he will make your life very unpleasant if you come after me. But that's an aside.
00:35:56.940
He came on the show and he talked about what was going to happen in this litigation. Remember what
00:36:02.880
happened was Blake Lively, just as a quick primer, she starred in this movie, It Ends With Us,
00:36:07.360
was Justin Baldoni. He had purchased the rights to that Colleen Hoover novel. It was his film.
00:36:13.500
He agreed with Blake Lively that she would star in it. And she agreed to that just to be the star,
00:36:17.980
Not the co-writer, not the co-director. She had an executive producer credit, but that's meaningless. It's just like a vanity plate. And when she did the movie, she started to complain that he was allegedly doing things inappropriate on the set, that she felt like he was writing in sex scenes that weren't there and other allegations.
00:36:46.320
as she claimed had allegedly been done with her.
00:36:53.420
something she would complain about in the lawsuit.
1.00
00:37:05.620
It was like, oh, wow, she's terrible for misleading me in this way.
00:37:08.260
So she filed first a complaint with the California Human Rights Department.
00:37:13.680
And then somehow, I mean, gee, who knows, it wound up in the New York Times.
00:37:17.660
I have no idea how the New York Times got wind of her super confidential complaint with the California Human Rights Division.
00:37:24.060
But lo and behold, the New York Times, they're good scoopers, and they found out.
00:37:32.160
She sued Baldoni and Wayfarer and Justin's PR team, claiming that they had unleashed, that she'd been discriminated against, sexually harassed, and then that they had retaliated against her when she complained with the California Human Rights Division and with them internally.
00:37:47.300
And he cross-claimed against her, too, for defamation of character and so on and so forth.
00:37:51.820
The litigation proceeded. He was very aggressive in his defense and very aggressive in his PR, thanks to his lawyer, Brian Friedman, who, let me tell you, has been through this a time or two.
00:38:03.960
I mean, his representation of me in my battle with NBC was one of the first huge litigations that he'd handled that was equally big on the PR front battle and on the legal battle.
00:38:20.420
And he understood in this case, and he's handled so many in between, but he understood in this case that both were going to be equally necessary here.
00:38:26.980
In fact, the truth is the PR battle was even more important in this lawsuit.
00:38:31.020
So we spoke to him weeks after the New York Times article dropped on this program, and he made a prediction about how this was going to go for Blake Lively.
00:38:44.140
So what's your prediction of where things go from here?
00:38:48.880
I mean, you know, my prediction is that this is going to get worse and worse for Blake Lively.
00:38:55.060
And the reason it's going to get worse and worse is people are going to be more comfortable telling the truth.
00:39:03.040
And she's put Jamie Heath and Justin Baldoni in this position of being called sexual predators, sexual harassers.
00:39:13.360
they have no choice but to go all the way no choice so you know we're going to go all the way
00:39:20.780
and and the unique thing again in this case is going to be we're going to put every single text
00:39:26.320
message out there we're going to put every email out there we're going to put every document out
00:39:31.800
there that's relevant to the case not something that's disrespectful or otherwise would embarrass
00:39:36.960
miss lively because that's not what we want to do but we want to make sure that people have the facts
00:39:42.880
and people can make their own determinations as to what happened.
00:39:48.160
And that would prove to be devastating to Blake Lively.
00:39:52.580
It's the reason she settled, because they never relented.
00:39:56.820
They kept confronting her via the media with the truth about her behavior toward Justin Baldoni
00:40:04.520
and toward the press and toward others and all the things she did that made everyone loathe her.
00:40:20.260
And I want to read you the joint statement and take you through it from a legal perspective.
00:40:26.460
It is a huge accomplishment for the Baldoni defense team.
00:40:33.440
Okay, so they're both, all of them, signing on to this.
00:40:36.760
The end product, the movie It Ends With Us, is a source of pride to all of us
00:40:41.380
who work to bring it to life. Raising awareness and making a meaningful impact in the lives of
00:40:46.000
domestic violence survivors and all survivors is a goal that we stand behind. Okay. Generic.
00:40:52.640
Go see our movie. It was a good one. Then we get to the meat of it. We acknowledge the process
00:40:58.320
presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.
00:41:05.500
Now I'm going to guarantee I haven't talked to Brian. I guarantee you that that line there was the subject of about 200 revisions back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Right. You I can feel it getting watered down and watered down and watered down from like Blake Lively had righteous claims that she was correct to bring.
00:41:27.440
Unfortunately, they were thrown out by a judge and whatever.
00:41:31.660
I'm sure it sounded much more favorable to Blake Lively when it was first drafted.
00:41:35.860
Instead, we wind up with the process of making the movie presented challenges and we recognize concerns raised by Lively deserve to be heard.
00:41:48.140
I mean, honestly, every defense lawyer out there is like, that's the best you could ever hope for.
00:41:52.660
We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments.
00:42:00.640
There is nothing, nothing in here about sexual harassment, nothing, or retaliation.
00:42:06.600
Just workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments.
00:42:12.100
You could be talking about people who leave early and who are lazy on the set.
00:42:17.200
That does not in any way suggest any sexual harassment, never mind retaliation.
00:42:22.080
it is as anodyne a statement as you could get. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure
00:42:28.660
and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace. That's Team
00:42:36.140
Blake saying, please don't hurt us anymore, Brian Friedman. But you're the one who started this,
00:42:42.360
including a respectful environment online. That's a message for all of us to stop saying nasty
00:42:51.060
things about Blake Lively. Well, I hate to break it to you, Team Blake, but I didn't sign a
00:42:55.680
agreement, and I'm totally free and emboldened to say whatever I want about you, including that
0.99
00:43:03.260
you're a liar. You're a liar, and your legal team are a bunch of liars. Remember when you subpoenaed
1.00
00:43:10.260
me in this case trying to get my documents on you? This happened. They subpoenaed me, my company,
00:43:26.980
before we interviewed Brian Friedman on this show,
00:43:46.620
And the lawyer went in, objected, and they lost.
00:43:51.320
And then she had the nerve when she was forced to stand down to come out and say, we never subpoenaed Megyn Kelly, which was a lie.
00:43:55.880
I can show you the document with my name on it, asking for my documents.
00:43:58.840
I had to hire a lawyer and go into court and defend it.
00:44:03.980
And I know they're liars from the complaint that they filed against Justin, which Brian bit by bit undermined with proof, with proof that she had taken things out of context, that she was determined to paint herself as a victim.
00:44:16.340
I'm telling you, this woman, Blake Lively, I think she has Munchausen's.
00:44:20.500
If one word of what she alleged was sincere in her head, she has Munchausen's.
0.99
00:44:24.860
Or like she tries to make something bad happen to her.
00:44:27.940
She like insists that she has to be a victim because like something terrible has happened to her.
00:44:35.600
And either that or she's just a bald-faced liar who made the whole thing up because she understood that she was suffering PR-wise thanks to her own bad deeds.
1.00
00:45:16.340
With this anodyne statement and she dismisses all charges, it is a complete and total win for Justin Baldoni.
00:45:25.840
And it is a complete and total surrender by Blake Lively and admission that she had no claims.
00:45:36.480
She was allowed to save face by just saying, oh, we settled it and give this statement.
0.77
00:45:40.940
You know, we both agree on appropriate workplaces.
0.99
00:45:43.160
And now she's going to run around and she's going to try to paint herself as like, I can't talk about it because of an NDA, but like, you know, wink, wink, we, we care about workplaces and I care about women. I care. I deeply care. And the press is going to let her get away with that. But the public is not.
0.55
00:45:58.700
And this is where I want to offer a free PR lesson to Blake Lively, to Meghan Markle, another person who wasn't at the Met Gala, even though her good friends, the Kardashians, were all there and very tight with the co-chair, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, couldn't quite manage to get an invite for that loser.
00:46:23.900
But both women need the same lesson, and I am just the gal to provide it.
00:46:28.700
When you come under withering attack by the media, which happens to virtually every public figure at one point or another in his or her life, there is only one play.
00:46:44.360
I know you can go out there and you can complain.
00:46:48.480
It's fine to correct the record if somebody's saying, you know, you stole from a bank.
00:46:57.360
You can correct the record, but don't make a huge deal out of it.
00:47:02.440
Don't call additional attention to the terrible things being said about you, right?
00:47:08.460
Like, whatever, at least let time pass, you know, ideally months before you get out there
00:47:15.780
and subtly say something about it, because it only calls more attention to the negative
00:47:22.440
And on top of that, Americans don't want to hear it.
00:47:37.640
You yourself reportedly earned $21 million in the eight years preceding the filing of this lawsuit, according to those involved in the case.
00:47:45.160
So you're earning, what, $4 million and change per film?
00:47:50.920
You're really just the gossip girl actress.
0.98
00:47:54.880
You have four wonderful children. You live in some huge mansion, I think, up in Bedford, New York, or someplace in the sort of hills of Connecticut.
00:48:02.460
You're doing great. Shut up. You got your liquor company. You got your hair company.
0.99
00:48:10.020
Shut the fuck up about your bad PR, which amounted to like a month's worth of negative articles, which he didn't even generate.
1.00
00:48:20.460
But honestly, even if he had, shut up. We don't care.
1.00
00:48:24.880
America has its own problems, and they look like real problems, not your stupid problems.
0.99
00:48:30.400
I had bad things said about me in the Daily Mail or the New York Post.
1.00
00:48:35.740
You ruined your own reputation by telegraphing to the world that you could not take a rhetorical punch in the face,
00:48:42.880
that you were so thin-skinned you had to run and file a lawsuit,
00:48:46.800
and on top of that, try to ruin a man with less power than you.
00:48:51.640
It's one thing for a bully to take on someone of equal or greater power.
00:48:55.720
It's almost impossible, actually, to be dubbed a bully in those circumstances.
00:48:58.980
If you have equal or the other person has greater power than you, you're not bullying them at all.
00:49:07.300
She and her dragons, Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds, her best friend and her husband, and Blake herself, had way more power than Justin Baldoni.
00:49:14.220
And she was determined to ruin his life, to dub him as a Me Too-er, as a sexual predator, to misrepresent his emails, his behavior on set, that of his partners from Wayfarer.
00:49:28.340
She just wanted to cloak herself in fake Me Too glory.
0.88
00:50:00.660
And ideally issued an apology to that young woman.
00:50:04.860
you know what? Some of my tone around the promo of a domestic violence movie, it may have been
00:50:09.320
off. Let me explain it to you in an interview. We actually thought maybe that was the better way to
00:50:13.840
promote it. But now having seen it, I understand how it was perceived as insensitive. Whatever.
00:50:18.960
You could have handled it like that. But instead you filed a lawsuit and you tried to viciously
00:50:23.820
ruin a man's life. And for that, we do not forgive you. You haven't sought forgiveness. You don't
00:50:28.300
seem sorrowful or regretful at all. In fact, I believe you'd do it again. So now you'll have to
00:50:35.080
live with the consequences of calling attention to your own bad behavior, the reasons people
00:50:40.080
disliked you, which got amplified, the Streisand effect, times 2,000. Everyone's seen these terrible
00:50:46.500
clips of you, whereas they wouldn't have before. It would have been a small one-month deal at most.
00:50:51.240
You're the one who made it an unforgettable two-year saga for all of us, and you ruined your
00:50:56.180
career. No director wants to work with you. They know you're going to do this to them.
00:51:01.140
They know you're a nightmare, that you're a terrorist. That's what the Sony executive
0.98
00:51:05.580
who was responsible for putting this movie out called you, a terrorist. If the Sony guy's going
00:51:10.920
to say that, if you're going to do this to Justin Baldoni, they've seen your out-of-context
00:51:14.520
allegations and so on. No one is going to want to work with you. You're box office poison.
00:51:19.620
You did the same thing to yourself that Meghan Markle did to herself.
0.98
00:51:25.360
Justin Baldoni will emerge from this smelling like a rose.
00:51:29.700
He looks victimized by you and like someone who decided not to take it lying down, who
00:51:36.200
hired himself a very good lawyer, who was able to out you for exactly what you are.
00:51:42.360
So you will not move on and sail off into the sunset with great movie roles or in high
00:51:48.300
demand in Hollywood, you've reached the apex of your career. And you look, your life is still
00:51:53.840
great. You have your great husband, you have your kids, you have your multi-million dollar estates.
00:51:59.920
Enjoy them. Be quiet. Reflect. Try to learn. And maybe at some point in the future, come out
00:52:07.520
and do the mea culpa. You owe us all, but most importantly, you owe Justin.
00:52:12.800

We've got more updates in the J.P. Morgan sex slave scandal, a brand new filing in this
00:53:38.400
ex-banker, now claiming that he has new evidence supporting his crazy allegations. This is a wild
00:53:45.920
story and the update is crazy. Joining me in the studio are the hosts of the Red Scare podcast,
00:53:52.720
Anna Kachian and Dasha Nekrasova. Ladies, welcome back. Thank you. So good to have you both.
00:53:59.400
It's great to be here. We're just joking in the break that there's a lot's happened since the
00:54:03.080
last time you were here yeah in all of our lives okay before we start on the jp morgan thing because
00:54:08.580
i've got a lot of thoughts and i know you do too let me ask you about our first two stories today
00:54:12.520
did you watch any of the met gala last night thoughts on the fashions and those in attendance
00:54:20.080
my favorite my favorite looks were hunter schaefer so he kravitz and almost kendall
00:54:28.760
jenner i loved the dress but her and kylie both did the skims nipple yeah yeah and we're up to
00:54:35.720
something yeah yeah it's like promo really cooking up a promo you're probably right they're gonna
00:54:40.340
make a million yeah yeah they do everything they touches they touch turns to millions yeah though
00:54:45.280
i guess kylie was wearing shiparelli am i saying that correctly and down below handle was wearing
00:54:50.720
gap studio by zach bozen oh really it was like a t-shirt yeah i thought with the with the wings i
00:54:57.600
thought that was actually very cool the dress was fantastic i like that it was i zoe kravitz though
00:55:02.360
i thought she was she looked boring it was like a black lace dress that i i would wear on halloween
00:55:06.020
but she's so lovely i don't know all right you're just rooting for her and it was like goth princess
00:55:10.300
they took the neckline of the original design down what did you make of lena dunham girls i
00:55:18.200
loved it what did you love about it um just she's being herself like unapologetically herself she
00:55:25.040
it's like an explosion it should be apologetic well i love that she came up in there with like
00:55:31.400
her ingrown hair scars and um her burn marks on her is that what that is the ingrown hairs on
0.99
00:55:38.820
the legs just she's got there's she's there's blemishes but she's owning it but the legs you
00:55:43.820
don't get blemishes on your legs what there's there's marks all over her legs that are very
00:55:48.000
weird i don't know what happened to her troubled person oh so they could be burns no there's who
00:55:53.340
knows i don't know either but i mean no maybe she's just a klutz and they are tiny bruises but
00:55:59.020
there were a lot of them and i found the whole thing very disturbing i just i don't think anybody
00:56:03.580
wants to see that i think it's so cool to accessorize with your skin problems because
00:56:07.900
we spend all this time like minimizing yes you want to show them off yeah hell no i'm against
00:56:12.840
it you know she and nicole kidman were doing kind of a similar look like secrets and feathers bright
00:56:18.240
rad and i think even though nicole kidman has like 20 years on her and is like a great hollywood
0.86
00:56:24.400
beauty lena kind of mogged because she looked so out there so you're saying lena dunham wore it
0.90
00:56:30.720
better yes oh wow people are gonna hate nicole kidman was kind of like okay it's fine she looked
00:56:36.440
like she was in an episode of white christmas yeah you know like at the end like okay but what
00:56:41.680
was special about it you know like what was there was a lot of looks like that and like the theme
00:56:46.520
i think ever since they tried to do camp and like no one could understand it they've made it
00:56:51.660
more and more this year it was fashion is art yeah whatever that means the dressed body they
00:56:58.800
kept saying which is like basically the bare minimum so they kept saying yeah the body that's
00:57:04.340
about the dress body and i was like well they all certainly dressed their body isn't that what all
00:57:08.840
fashion is the dress body and then you always you always have arena shake shank whatever yeah she's
0.99
00:57:14.720
always naked yeah i guess this time she was doing like the greco-roman sculptural torso thing it
0.98
00:57:20.900
didn't really hit for me but you know whatever pointed out whatever the occasion yeah yeah well
0.99
00:57:26.200
you can't you know i know but celebs are so dumb that they have to make the instructions really
0.88
00:57:32.000
foolproof and then they still manage to botch it every single time so this theme was so vague and
0.92
00:57:40.060
open-ended like i really loved hunter schaefer's look because it was inspired by gustav klimt
00:57:45.300
like vienna secession but you can't have a theme like that i don't know what nobody would understand
00:57:50.180
i don't even know who hunter schaefer is she's a famous transgender oh on euphoria was that the
00:57:56.720
oh that was the one no yeah you probably can't clock her that's why yeah yeah no i think she
0.53
00:58:02.000
shouldn't have looked he he should not be dressed like a nine-year-old girl i mean ever it's a
00:58:07.660
fantasy ew so gross no i object on behalf of nine-year-old girls everywhere no i it's a no
00:58:14.860
it's a reference yeah yeah but it's an offensive one look i like i don't i'm done with like what
0.93
00:58:21.040
the the woke trans the the one wheelchair bound transgender cerebral palsy what are they there
00:58:29.260
were like four other boxes that that person signed with what elite models like okay well
0.97
00:58:33.880
my question is if you're gay black trans have cerebral palsy to all those things cancel each
0.97
00:58:40.360
other out so that you become like the most desirable woman on the planet yes the most
0.99
00:58:44.280
crippled there she is right the most exactly right it's like that episode of modern family when they're
0.97
00:58:49.460
the two gay guys are trying to get their daughter their adopted asian daughter into school and
0.98
00:58:53.840
they're like we got this made you know we're gay we have an asian daughter she's adopted and then
0.99
00:58:59.320
in comes um lesbians one of whom is black they're like oh shit damn yeah she she's she out privileges
0.99
00:59:08.200
everybody they had the midget but i guess she works for vogue she's the midget the dwarf dwarf
0.99
00:59:14.120
sorry i can't the dwarf somebody can we put the dwarf somebody posted the the following
00:59:20.580
who who ate melissa mccarthy or someone put melissa mccarthy in the dryer
00:59:28.420
she shrunk like what's happening here why does she look so much like melissa mccarthy
00:59:35.340
only in miniature it's very strange i'm not sure what's happening with the with the waving
00:59:41.500
well what's really lacking ever since joan rivers died rest in peace is like no one now the met gala
00:59:49.100
is just they have the most banal commentary no one takes them to task for anything um who was
00:59:56.520
it who wore like the dollar bill Sarah Paulson Sarah Paulson with the dollar bill over her eyes
01:00:02.000
and it's like is that celebs are just getting away with too much yeah it's a comment on the
01:00:06.760
elite on the one percent oh how rich they are they're blinded by with her tens of millions
01:00:12.260
Sanchez yeah so she but she can she can comment on it yeah exactly you're at an event being hosted
01:00:16.760
by Lauren Sanchez but you're there under protest yeah is that what you're trying to tell us but
01:00:21.020
there was less of that there was no like AOC tax the rich dress there was it felt more I feel like
01:00:25.920
we're healing a little bit okay if only we could return actual celebrities to the met gala then
01:00:31.340
then we'd be all healed i was a little disappointed that um so ron mamdani and rama duwaji um
01:00:37.500
declined the invitation because he could have played up to you saw a lot of like south indian
01:00:41.960
heritage stuff going on yeah and she has such an art historical face she's like oh yeah it would
01:00:47.500
have been a great thing for her she looks disturbingly disturbingly like the man accusing
01:00:52.740
the woman at jc morgan they look like the same person i'm sorry i know that there are memes
01:00:59.980
online in which they've used ai to actually superimpose his face over hers but the actual
0.59
01:01:05.020
faces look disturbingly similar but i credit him for not going because i i think it's bullshit for
01:01:11.180
aoc or sarah paulson to show up be like i'm here but it's under protest good for him for being like
01:01:16.960
no i don't believe in that goodbye and his messaging yeah he's staying on task yeah he's
01:01:22.080
not going to get distracted with the galas i appreciate that i mean i don't really want him
01:01:26.440
to stay on task because he's ruining new york but i i appreciate the moral consistency of it
01:01:31.800
exactly yeah um okay so now what do we make of the baldoni lively settlement the the word is that
01:01:39.120
she just like this week hired this very heavy hitting litigation firm to try to telegraph
01:01:45.920
telegraphed to him oh I'm going to trial like I'll do it and not surprisingly his lawyer Brian
01:01:52.240
Friedman and team were not intimidated by that at all like he's an actual litigator who tries cases
01:01:56.640
all the time he's like great whoever you want but the truth is she could not let this case go to
01:02:02.060
trial she could not let him cross-examine her she could not take the stand she was about to
01:02:07.100
actually become Amber Heard and she had no choice but to act like she wanted to try the case all the
01:02:12.540
up until the end and then she basically her case got gutted by the judge three weeks ago when he
01:02:16.960
threw out all the sexual harassment claims and left her only with one tiny slice of it and by
01:02:21.700
the way baldoni was released from the case when the judge issued that so the only defendants left
01:02:26.060
were wayfarer his company and um the pr firm that they alleged was part of a retaliation campaign
01:02:33.920
against her by by allegedly pushing for bad press and his defense was going to be they never actually
01:02:40.360
did plant the bad press he hired them to get a game plan ready and they were absolutely prepared
01:02:45.820
to do it but they didn't have to because she did it to herself well right and that i believe that
01:02:51.520
now more than ever because she folded well she must have she she was at the mac gala yeah hated
01:02:57.900
her so she must have anticipated being available yes she looked like an orange sherbet like a like
01:03:04.760
a big sherbet you know they used to get when you were a kid with the three different flavors in
01:03:08.840
there yeah it was very weathering heights a movie i also yeah it's lazy to just do the long train
01:03:15.400
right it's been done she she snapped at the little mal male valets who are supposed to
01:03:21.600
flight splay it out the daily mail has this look there's a moment here look look here she goes
01:03:26.220
she's like no that's how i wanted it oh put it back down she just can't yeah get out of her own
01:03:33.920
way she needs the pr firm see this is why i can never be a celeb not because i have a poor work
01:03:39.780
ethic and uh suck at promoting myself it's because i could never be pictured on camera snap like
01:03:45.500
don't these people think of how it's gonna look because they're being photographed and filmed all
0.99
01:03:50.060
the time yes especially when your problem is people think you're a bully yeah yeah and a bully
01:03:55.580
of like lesser empowered men right so what does she do that's not the way it's supposed to be
01:04:01.360
I don't know what she said, but that's my own dialogue superimposed over her.
01:04:05.920
I think she meant to appear like, here's me in all my glory.
01:04:10.560
I've put this terrible thing behind me, and it's just not going to be that easy.
01:04:14.740
I mean, I just don't think the American public is that forgiving.
01:04:27.560
but um i think i saw her giving like uh an interview on the vogue live stream where she
01:04:34.380
claimed she was shy oh god which seems i feel like yeah people can sense that she's disingenuous
01:04:39.940
but i think she'll continue to have a career because she's people ultimately even though
01:04:45.900
we have mixed feelings about divas they end up prospering diva is one thing mariah carey is a
01:04:54.440
diva i think j-lo is a diva you don't have to be talented to be a diva sometimes but they're
01:05:00.060
bullies that's different bully mariah is not a bully j-lo is not reportedly that much of a bully
01:05:07.060
is she i don't know okay i'm not gonna i'm not gonna slander um well anyway but what blake
01:05:15.680
likely is known for now as being a bully yeah just people don't like they really don't like that
01:05:20.340
it's not relatable like every character she plays you're going to be like who did she torture on
01:05:25.840
that set you know somebody with lesser power so i don't like her chances the optics aren't great
01:05:31.760
yeah they're not but i feel like she's in so deep she has no other choice than to dig her heels in
01:05:37.820
and like own her reputation oh interesting i don't think she's aware of what the reputation is
0.81
01:05:45.320
i think she's going to go out there and continue playing the fake me too card
01:05:48.680
last year at the time 100 she got up there and gave this big speech about how her mother was
01:05:54.060
allegedly a sexual assault victim wow and it was like okay this feels inappropriate because it's
01:05:58.840
your mom's story but okay and it was clearly an attempt to like glom on you know like that's
01:06:05.340
that's basically the same thing as it happening to me see i get it victimized by association
01:06:10.200
yeah so she like that's that's a year after she'd filed the lawsuit well not a year but it was a
01:06:16.100
months after and she'd been taking a beating already in the press and she still hadn't learned
01:06:20.440
this isn't going well so i just don't think she's i don't think she's that bright if i was her i
01:06:25.140
would say because the baldoni movie was about domestic abuse that ends with us i would say
01:06:29.140
that i was so deep in character that i got confused that i was so in having inhabited the
01:06:34.340
role oh i like that that i thought he was abusing me because i just i can go to that place with her
01:06:40.460
i mean i just i would like to watch her try to spin it at a minimum that's what i would do that's
01:06:45.340
what i would try to do all right by the way why is there no fallout for parker posey who was equally
01:06:50.080
bitchy in that one clip with the with a nordic journalist do you ever you know that yes wait
01:06:55.700
we have it look i'm going to show you well actresses have bad days la yeah uh this is from
0.86
01:07:01.320
2016 it was when they were promoting the woody alley film cafe society and this is one of the
1.00
01:07:05.780
things that brought such bad vibes toward blake she was so nasty to this sweet um i think she's
0.75
01:07:11.980
a swedish journalist someplace up there sweden norway um and she is not pregnant but blake
0.57
01:07:17.960
lively which you can't see in this clip but was known blake live is eight months pregnant in this
01:07:22.800
clip so she did what most journalists will do when there's something very prominent about your
0.95
01:07:27.400
guest and you make a passing reference to it just to get it out of the way for the audience
01:07:30.660
and move on and watch what happened first of all congrats on your little bump
01:07:44.360
And these, they are kind of bumps, aren't they?
01:07:54.820
I love most of his movies, and this one was so, like, visually amazing.
01:08:00.100
Did you guys love wearing those kind of clothes that you...
01:08:05.960
He wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.
01:08:20.360
I would wish men wore high-waisted pants like that still.
01:08:27.940
Yeah, it's not just the women that have the clothes.
1.00
01:08:31.420
I feel like the women get the conversation, but it's like...
0.97
01:08:44.620
16, but it didn't, what happened was Kijirsti, however you pronounce it.
01:08:49.900
She did, her company, her, whatever she works for in Norway, they did put it out at the time.
01:08:55.220
And then when she saw It Ends With Us and some of like the back and forth around her,
01:09:01.100
like the buzz around Blake, she's like, I'm re-releasing that clip.
01:09:05.960
And she actually said at the time, I'm leaving this business.
01:09:15.480
So she really didn't appreciate the, like, your baby bump, you know.
1.00
01:09:19.020
So she left the business because an actress was a huge bitch to her?
0.99
01:09:22.420
No, I think it was just, like, one of the many straws, you know.
1.00
01:09:34.140
and they've treated me worse than actresses, to be honest.
01:09:47.140
that since I last saw you, you technically got canceled
01:09:49.740
because you committed the same sin as Tucker Carlson.
01:09:57.960
because you had the temerity to interview him Thursday.
01:10:02.420
Yeah. So and people were very, very angry because you're not allowed to like him because he's got this very racist strain when it comes to blacks and Jews and women and so on.
01:10:15.520
Racist, bigoted, whatever you want to call it. But he's got this other strain that is interesting.
01:10:20.780
And so but you're not allowed to say that. You can't even acknowledge it.
01:10:23.880
And you definitely can't interview it. Dasha, didn't anybody tell you that?
01:10:26.940
Well, I saw, yeah, I saw Tucker say that he regrets it.
01:10:29.880
And I actually also regret Tucker interviewing him because we had Fuentes on a month before and it wasn't, no one cared.
01:10:41.220
And then when Tucker had him on, and I'm just kidding, but that's when the cascade of like denouncing started.
01:10:49.160
And then somebody went back and dug up your old interview?
01:10:56.280
No, in The Hollywood Reporter, there was that one guy who had been waging this crusade against me.
01:11:05.640
I get why he's like a no-no person, why the liberal establishment wouldn't want you to talk to him, I guess.
01:11:15.160
When I was reading the remarks that Tucker made in his New York Times interview where he talks about how he regretted having Fuentes on,
01:11:21.100
and to me it was kind of like sour grapes even though i agreed with like other parts of the
01:11:27.920
interview um because he says the the reason he regrets it is because it was a distraction from
01:11:32.700
these other bigger issues the problems that are facing us are primarily economic not like
01:11:37.860
demographic in nature and i think he regrets it because you know let's face it nick fuentes is
01:11:43.500
much more popular among younger people he really owned talker he'll own anybody and he it's his
01:11:50.080
moment now he's ascendant but i don't find anything controversial about even his most
01:11:55.380
controversial remarks because they're very clearly meant as a half joke and it's irrelevant whether
01:12:00.680
he believes them or not and i think that the liberal media is totally like complicit in it
01:12:06.020
because they are fascinated by him much like they were fascinated by donald trump and they want to
01:12:11.580
keep him in the news because it feeds click yeah yeah they and they always talk call it describe
01:12:15.840
is far right which i'm like yeah and you know that's right but i understand why they're doing
01:12:20.120
it well they conflate it they also yeah but before we had him on our show there were two articles
01:12:24.240
um in the new york times about him one was about like gripers in the mag movement which isn't
01:12:30.480
really like the the nuances of how he even feels about trump are kind of irrelevant they just
01:12:36.540
really needed someone yeah he's blackpilled he's not red and he's not blue no my i mean my issue
01:12:44.460
with him and the reason that I was um had concerns about having him on our show was that I felt that
01:12:50.520
um he was kind of met an impediment to the the health and future of the MAGA movement and was
01:13:01.840
brought in or brought himself and I don't think he's even like a controlled or owned by anyone
01:13:06.720
I think it is organic momentum contrary to what his haters say um but you know he's a talented
01:13:13.360
broadcaster and i liked him personally but um my concern was always that he was brought into
01:13:17.880
or he brought himself into like kind of subvert or take the piss out of that um movement which
01:13:25.160
ended up kind of doing it to themselves a little bit movement yeah but it's like the same thing
01:13:29.360
you know it's the same thing as with trump with like trump derangement syndrome where the media
01:13:33.380
loves these guys they feed off of them and then of course they act all like um shocked and outraged
01:13:45.960
And by the end of that New York Times interview,
01:13:49.180
the reporter was positively haranguing Tucker about Fuentes.
01:13:57.840
I think it's because he just blew up so much in his face
01:14:03.040
I think he sort of thought he might be able to reach Fuentes
01:14:37.320
happening in the political sphere correctly but there's also no question that he says things that
01:14:42.620
are extremely racist anti-semitic and misogynistic regularly so i actually just to show the audience
01:14:50.540
because i constantly make this reference and i don't actually put up here's just some of what
0.84
01:14:54.900
i'm talking about here in sat 17 we're already a non-white country get a grip get real bro this
01:15:02.160
is already we already live in Mogadishu we already live in Islamabad have you been outside
0.99
01:15:11.120
LA Chicago New York we live in nigger hell and that's just what and you know it's what it is
0.98
01:15:18.160
because everybody tells me you can't keep saying the n-word on the show they're like you can't
1.00
01:15:22.920
you gotta stop saying you gotta stop saying n-word faggot I'm like but it's so funny saying free
1.00
01:15:30.740
palestine bro free america one of these third world niggers gonna say that because when i see
0.99
01:15:35.880
50 million illegal spics and apologies for the slur see i can say that one because i'm mexican
0.95
01:15:42.900
it's not all you don't just get called the mexican white nationalist you also get to be
0.95
01:15:47.100
racist against mexicans all in favor of a fat race mixer who's married to a jeet who named his son
0.94
01:15:54.480
of that that's a reference to jd and usha there at the end yeah that is it is shocking shocking
0.99
01:16:00.960
yeah yeah are you being facetious i genuinely do find that shocking no no i guess it's extreme
01:16:06.020
certainly but it's you know in the like for people who watch his show it's all in the context of like
01:16:12.080
a stream and it's like i can't see a world in which any of that is not offensive like i i mean
01:16:18.060
it's meant to be offensive yeah i mean but i think he's also like revolting against um
01:16:24.460
the environment of like decorum and politics and like these arbitrary like moral pities that were
01:16:31.540
put in place by the democrats the liberals and yet in his like enclosed space of his show with
01:16:38.240
his audience he's obviously um totally offensive and no holds barred but kind of the most offensive
01:16:44.800
thing about him is that um once his reputation started to get rehabilitated he started walking
01:16:51.360
back a lot of these remarks did he yeah like now he's he likes to go on a stream or wherever and
01:16:57.140
claiming that he's not racist or he has no hate in his heart did he used to say i'm racist well
01:17:02.580
i mean i would i believe him because we've all said crazy outrageous things on our shows for
01:17:08.400
yes but there's what we say which is politically incorrect and doesn't like necessarily kowtow to
01:17:13.680
the woke left and then there's the n-word over and over and that j word for indians and you know
01:17:19.180
take your pick. Like I, and I can even give you the point that like, it's strange how much energy
01:17:25.380
we've put behind in particular, the N word, we've empowered that word well beyond what we should,
01:17:29.860
because it's just, we've given it too much power to hurt black Americans. You know what I mean?
01:17:33.840
It's like, I wish we could, we would disempower that word, but we haven't. And so to hear like
01:17:39.660
that, like a white man cannot be the one to, to disempower that word that has to be done
01:17:45.820
if at all by black americans and it's just like why do it why be that provocative because he's
01:17:50.820
also saying you know he's talking about blacks in the inner city in a way that groups them all and
01:17:56.360
you know he's got racial stereotypes he's got female stereotypes i mean all the things that
0.79
01:18:01.360
would lead any rational person to think you are racist you're sexist and you're definitely
01:18:06.920
anti-semitic he's a racist guy so he's really he's offensive yeah i don't i can't i wouldn't
0.65
01:18:12.520
argue with that yeah so that's so interesting to me but you just don't care if you like you still
01:18:17.220
just want to talk to him i mean at the time he was doing all he was going on a whole podcast circuit
01:18:22.980
he you know yeah it seems i felt that the overton window had shifted in terms of like
01:18:28.120
he didn't say things like that on our show yeah you know he didn't say things like that on tucker
01:18:32.500
yes well the things he says in the confines of his stream it's his stream i think this guy was
01:18:37.520
probably so I don't endorse it it was like so debanked and de-platformed that he felt comfortable
01:18:42.160
doing that because he probably felt he didn't have no way back and you know now that he's
01:18:47.020
yes Ben Shapiro did throttle him in the crib that's that's true and he was canceled and put
01:18:54.080
on the no-fly list for some reason when he was very very young I mean that'll have a way of
01:18:57.940
radicalizing people um but I had my team pull this yesterday I don't know if you guys I didn't
01:19:03.040
even tell you I might use it today but Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes interviewed the grand
01:19:08.660
wizard of the KKK in his hat in his little outfit with his pointy hat so it actually is
01:19:18.280
a time-honored tradition amongst those who do interviews for a living to talk to the most
01:19:23.280
controversial people in the world why wouldn't you the difference is Mike Wallace grilled him
01:19:30.480
you know and like sure held him i mean we pushed back i thought we talked about you know i said i
01:19:36.060
don't think the the jury is as like uh cohesive you know obviously there's left-wing jews and
01:19:41.700
right-wing jews and they have different interests and you know we pushed back on him but we don't
0.55
01:19:45.760
take this like um hysterical tone look there it is there it is and the spLC financed that in yeah
01:19:53.280
exactly exactly the spLC paid for that hat and everybody from noam chomsky to glenn greenwald
01:19:58.920
all these like you know it used to be it used to be the norm that um liberal jewish uh pundits
01:20:08.040
and journalists defended freedom of speech and said you know you can talk to anyone that was the
01:20:12.780
always the idea um so now now you have like i think you know tucker called it called called it
01:20:19.980
called it um childish and morally repulsive and it is because you have this like double standard
01:20:24.980
this hypocritical thing in place where you can't talk to these people under any circumstances but
01:20:31.240
yet the liberal media wants to um talk about them talk about them yeah but wait but like i can talk
01:20:37.780
to them but only if yeah you have this like to scolding hysteria yes well that's why i don't
01:20:42.520
want to interview him because i have no interest in doing the you know playing him that soundbite
01:20:47.140
yeah and having him explain all like i just i have no appetite for it whatsoever and i don't
01:20:51.480
think i could do an interview with him without raising all the stuff he says well did you see
01:20:55.020
pierce morgan yes i thought it was pointless i love peers but i thought it was pointless
01:20:58.700
well it's like then if if all these things are deal breakers for you as they are for me
01:21:05.760
then don't interview him then don't platform him don't promote him you know everybody feels
01:21:09.960
differently about it but i i have to be honest i care about like sexism if it's in the extreme like
01:21:16.460
i interview a lot of people who come on this show who are sexist i have to be honest i'm not going
01:21:20.080
to name them, but who I know have views of, you know, the modern American woman that I do not
01:21:24.480
share at all. It doesn't bother, like, I don't care. And I don't feel the need to make, to bring
01:21:29.160
it up every time they're on and make those the stakes of the discussion. I don't know. I find
01:21:34.560
them kind of interesting. But then when I think about like, would a black journalist ever want
1.00
01:21:40.760
Nick Fuentes gaining purchase in the mainstream or a black listener or viewer want that guy getting
0.53
01:21:46.940
purchased in the mainstream when you you know he's he's saying that word over and over like
01:21:51.880
he doesn't demonize all blacks from what i understand on his show yeah i think he's a friend
01:21:57.540
of the blacks i don't think he has like deep hate in his heart how about the jews though
01:22:02.300
well you know even the jews he says some of his best friends are jewish many such cases
01:22:08.100
i don't know um i don't i i have to be honest i feel like uh on this guy i've got one hand
01:22:14.060
tied behind my back because i don't watch nick fuentes i just know what others tell me and
01:22:18.600
victor davis hansen was the one who first told me that he uses the n-word all the time so i had
01:22:21.620
my team go back and check and sure enough he does not just that yeah hey he does and that and i feel
01:22:27.760
like he has upper limited himself by doing that you know no definitely you know he like karma
01:22:34.200
comes for everyone he's gonna have to pay for that down the line i'm sure he's aware he already
01:22:37.860
has um you know we caught a lot of flack for having him on because people felt that we had
01:22:43.420
softballed him and i don't think that we did that at all we did in fact push back on him but like
01:22:49.020
it would have been a totally different and less effective interview if we had come in hot you
01:22:54.520
know scolding and accusing you would have gotten nothing from him yeah yeah he would have clammed
01:22:58.140
right up well that's actually tucker's own defense for his interview of ted cruz he says the reason
01:23:02.980
he was very tough on ted cruz and not nick fuentes is because he was basically called an anti-semite
01:23:09.980
and didn't really get things off on a good note.
01:23:31.300
I wouldn't describe you as judgmental of really anybody.
01:24:10.500
I mean, the whole institutional landscape is changing so rapidly.
01:24:15.100
And, yeah, there's a crisis of faith in every institution.
01:24:19.300
Nobody really, like, believes in Hollywood anymore except for, like, total NPCs.
01:24:26.100
You see that with the Met Gala, too, by the way, when people, you know, are debating the theme and whether people executed it faithfully.
01:24:32.040
It's like, well, the Met Gala hasn't been an A-list event for at least a decade now.
01:24:41.520
There's a reason Meryl Streep is like, it's a no again.
01:24:46.760
When we come back, we're going to do the JP Morgan update, which is crazy.
01:24:51.900
He's refiled his lawsuit and he submitted not one, but two affidavits from third parties
01:24:58.400
allegedly supporting his allegations against this gal.
01:25:08.320
It has to work and it has to be something you can trust.
01:25:13.600
And that is why I want to tell you about Relief Factor.
01:25:16.720
Relief Factor has been endorsed by hosts for over a decade.
01:25:27.920
especially after injuries, it's been life-changing,
01:25:38.280
and they actually lose money on this first offer.
01:25:48.020
Relief Factor was created by a Vietnam combat veteran
01:25:50.940
who became a doctor to help people heal drug-free.
01:25:55.900
became something he wanted to share with everyone.
01:25:59.080
Try their three-week quick start for just $19.95.
01:26:02.300
Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF to check it out.
01:26:07.940
Let's see if you're next when it comes to getting out of pain.
01:26:22.180
and it is where you will hear the truth unfiltered
01:26:28.080
you're going to hear from people like Mark Halperin,
01:26:50.400
and we've got to dig into the J.P. Morgan lawsuit
01:26:53.840
suit because it's back. So the plaintiff has been outed, even though he tried to go under
01:26:57.820
John Doe. His name is Chiraya Rana, and he is suing J.P. Morgan and its executive Lorna
01:27:07.060
Hajdini, claiming that she made his life a living hell while he was at J.P. Morgan,
01:27:12.260
that she sexually harassed him, threatened him, held his bonus over his head in order to make him
1.00
01:27:19.140
give her oral sex and have sex with her in order to make him allow her to perform oral sex on him
1.00
01:27:26.280
while he allegedly cried the whole time uh he claims she roofied him yeah how do you have sex
1.00
01:27:33.240
with a roof and viagra also viagra did they i don't think that's how it works i agree i agree
01:27:40.880
i think this is one of the problems of his claims i think roofied means roofied yeah right i don't
01:27:46.260
think like so what like he was passed out you when you're roofied you can't lift your arms and legs
01:27:50.680
your appendages can't move right so just the the viagra goes just right to that one appendage
01:27:56.620
just like the one is at attention yeah and she's having fun with it while he's completely passed
01:28:01.300
out i don't think so that's that doesn't seem not adding on no it's this is such a um heartwarming
01:28:06.440
feel-good story though why after well after all the um friction and chaos of the last uh few news
01:28:14.560
cycles it's nice to have something that's like purely a meme back in the news and it's also
01:28:20.100
funny because it's like um actually like an epic media battle between our last two remaining papers
01:28:26.840
of record which are like the daily mail and the new york post the daily mail broke the story and
01:28:31.160
then the new york post debunked it yes and they're like really feuding over the scrap and it's also
01:28:38.240
obviously it's a newsroom drama it's a reverse me too i know it's got it all yeah so two things
01:28:44.920
now it has come out that he pretended his dad was dead to get bereavement leave from jp morgan
01:28:52.880
but the dad is alive and well and spoke to the new york post this weekend yeah okay so we must
01:28:58.620
point out this man in addition to the allegations of the complaint which make this clear has got
01:29:04.540
some serious credibility problems there he is with his parents his dad this is I guess recent
01:29:09.000
but his dad is definitely alive notwithstanding what he told JP Morgan which is that he's dead
01:29:13.780
and he needed a bereavement leave and I guess his defense to this is well I needed to write my
01:29:18.500
complaint I needed time to work on my complaint and I couldn't say that so I said my dad is dead
01:29:23.740
which why don't you just do it in your spare time that's what evenings and weekends are for I know
1.00
01:29:28.120
right so he probably wasn't very good at his job no and this is like so immigrant kid filling out
01:29:32.920
college admissions essay where like this is my sad immigrant story and also my mom has cancer
01:29:38.040
it's just like nick fuentes totally vindicated about his with his screeds on immigration because
01:29:43.820
it's like different honor codes though to the their credit when they interviewed the dad he
01:29:49.520
said my son he's a good boy great kid so they they don't throw their own family members under
01:29:56.960
the bus yeah i appreciate that yeah it's fine that's what i'm here for um okay but notwithstanding
01:30:04.420
that very bad piece of pr for this plaintiff it it emerges as he refiles his complaint which was
01:30:12.340
withdrawn for quote corrections that he's got alleged witnesses to lorna's supposed bad behavior
01:30:20.220
um and i'll go through a couple of them they're anonymous as far as we know but they have details
01:30:26.020
in quotes, and described alleged encounters between this guy, Chiraya Rana, and Lorna
01:30:32.960
over the relevant timeframe. Okay, in his new filing, one alleged witness, who appears to be
01:30:37.980
a family friend of his, says he was staying at an apartment while visiting New York City and was
01:30:42.140
woken up, this is the witness, by Hajdini's drunken antics in the middle of the night.
01:30:49.300
The other anonymous affirmation, seemingly from the owner of the apartment where the family friend
01:30:54.220
was staying right so you've got one of his friends and you've got somebody who owns the
01:30:57.400
apartment in which and she's all happening yeah uh claims that he saw Hajdini kissing
01:31:02.440
Rana's neck on the street sometime during summer of 2024 now that doesn't show harassment if it's
01:31:08.840
true it shows maybe they had a relationship of some sort um and then says in September 2024
01:31:15.480
she the owner of the apartment overheard them entering the apartment building recalling
01:31:18.820
Hajdini saying something that sounded like I own you brownie this is a theme all of the dialogue
01:31:27.500
that he has in his complaint to me reads exactly like what a very nerdy Indian guy who never had
0.93
01:31:33.080
any social life or girlfriend would imagine it would sound like if somebody were harassing him
0.78
01:31:38.500
or if people were leaving him voicemails like okay brown boy it's a total male fantasy of female
01:31:46.240
desire but also like with like a cultural with a racial psychosexual yes element right i mean
01:31:52.520
like he he wants it to be true that she's like uh threatening to ruin his life and like stomping on
0.92
01:31:58.180
his balls and her stilettos or whatever like even when the original story broke and i was reading
0.99
01:32:04.000
some of the dialogue and you know she was like fondling her breasts and referring to them as
1.00
01:32:08.060
canons no woman no matter how like assertive or high t or high powered like working in a man's
01:32:14.600
world ever would use that word no ever ever that is fan fiction it just doesn't make any sense
0.94
01:32:21.400
because like women all want to feel small and submissive in the context of like a sexual
0.76
01:32:25.800
scenario and even the small percentage of women out there who probably who might have like you
01:32:31.100
know dominant sexual proclivities they still don't talk like that and and i also take issue with
0.89
01:32:37.880
the notion that she forced oral sex on him and he cried the whole time? Bullshit. That did not
1.00
01:32:45.820
happen. I don't believe one word of that. But okay, I digress. It's not for me because I'm not
01:32:51.860
the jury. Okay, so back to the legal filing. The witness who said he was a family friend and came
01:32:58.380
for a visit in this apartment with Shirayu Rana. This is dad. Who knows? Says it was September
01:33:07.280
13th, 2024, or thereabouts. This guy attended a concert held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn
01:33:12.260
with his brother. During the concert, my brother and I walked around to different parts of the
01:33:17.260
venue. At one point, I spotted Redacted sitting with a group. I think they mean the guy. I was
01:33:21.920
apparently one or two seating sections away from him at the time. I observed a woman sitting next
01:33:26.360
to him. Yeah, it's the two of them. The woman was very handsy, gals, with this woman putting her
0.88
01:33:31.940
hands on his lap, back, legs and lap again. In addition, she put her face very close to
0.98
01:33:38.260
and to his, I guess, and appeared to be speaking into his ear. He sat facing forward. He did not
01:33:44.320
look comfortable with the situation because I did not know the woman. I did not stop by to say
01:33:49.300
hello. Then later, this is the same witness, September of 2024, same month. I was visiting
01:33:54.760
New York. I stayed at his apartment. When visiting New York, I sometimes stay there.
01:33:58.160
um okay let's see on that night i had plans uh to go out for drinks together however when it became
01:34:05.680
late i went to sleep on the couch in the living room in the middle of the night i was awoken by
0.99
01:34:10.200
the sound of a woman who was clearly intoxicated and speaking very loudly i should have you read
0.99
01:34:16.500
this you're the actress shortly after uh redacted entered the apartment with the woman he's talking
01:34:23.300
about these two. He asked the woman to be, to please be quiet, but she loudly refused and said
01:34:29.020
she would not be quiet. He later told me that the woman was Lorna Hajdini, a woman with whom he
01:34:34.480
worked. He and Mrs. Hajdini, Ms. Hajdini went into the bedroom and I attempted to go back to sleep.
01:34:41.180
A short while later, I was awoken by Ms. Hajdini who was completely naked. Naked, I say. Ms. Hajdini
0.97
01:34:48.640
sat on the couch and lit a cigarette. It's possible. I can see it. She then asked me to
01:34:57.500
come into the bedroom with her. This is the third party witness and join them. I told her no. She
01:35:03.540
again said, come join, come join. I again told her no. She then said, you know, I own, what's his
01:35:11.380
name? So you'd better come join. I continued to say no. Eventually, Ms. Hajdini got up from the
01:35:18.100
couch and went back into the bedroom and closed the door through the door a short distance away
01:35:22.460
I could hear arguing and I could hear him loudly pleading with her to stop to leave and I heard
1.00
01:35:27.860
him say no no no you have to leave I'm not going to do this please stop she's already naked and
1.00
01:35:34.300
he's saying all this okay it became quiet then sometimes later sometime later she came out of
01:35:38.540
the bedroom left the apartment a few moments after that he came out of the apartment in a state of
01:35:42.560
shock and embarrassment he then told me about how she constantly harassed him and had forced him
01:35:47.340
to engage in sexual behavior with her on a number of occasions.
01:35:50.320
He told me she had frequently said things to him like,
01:35:52.380
I'm in charge of you and I will get what I need from you.
01:35:56.100
And if you don't comply, there will be trouble at the OK Corral.
01:36:01.620
He told me that this had been a big problem going on in his life for some time.
01:36:05.260
In later conversations, he reiterated his concern that she was blackmailing him,
01:36:09.380
forcing him to engage in sexual acts and also to provide help with her career
01:36:13.740
and that she constantly threatened to harm his career if he did not.
01:36:16.540
Although he was not comfortable explaining the specifics of his experiences with her.
01:36:21.300
I recall him telling me she had shown him naked pictures of herself.
01:36:25.460
He also told me on the night in September when I was staying there, she had sexually assaulted him in the bedroom.
01:36:36.040
Would any man, let alone a man who's involved in a lawsuit,
01:36:42.160
to not shoot down the opportunity to, like, Eiffel Tower a naked woman with his body?
01:37:04.840
and sort of get it i could draw it for you we don't need to we'll talk later
01:37:09.880
yeah it seems totally fake but i i just i guess my question is like
01:37:16.020
what what's the purpose and did he really think he could get away with this
01:37:21.840
i guess maybe he thought she would just maybe they did have some though i doubt that also
01:37:28.380
honestly that they had some kind of relationship that she would be so ashamed that she would sort
01:37:33.540
of want it settled and she would just pay yeah morgan would pay yeah who do you think the witness
01:37:38.860
that this person is because if this you know if he's making this up he has now two witnesses who
01:37:44.820
are willing to lie under oath uh-huh or maybe he's making them up too he's like their family
01:37:49.640
friends cousins clannish clannish tribe his girlfriend in canada yeah and i i'm thinking
01:37:55.620
that they probably did have an affair you know usual like kind of like eric swalwell and his
01:38:01.860
former staffer yeah because he had to have had some leverage i doubt he made this up entirely
01:38:08.260
out of whole cloth but who knows my thinking is because all of the details are so kind of um
01:38:16.040
fantastic and humiliating and with the the wishful the wishful fantasy of this dominant woman yep
01:38:24.860
it's possible that he could just be lying all cloth because he has a humiliation fetish but
01:38:31.660
Even to admit any of this already would be so humiliating, but maybe that's the goal.
01:38:35.940
If any of this is true, why didn't he provide the evidence of it to J.P. Morgan when they
01:38:43.060
She gave full cooperation, that she gave her cell phone over, she gave all of her email
01:38:46.800
records, she gave everything saying this is a lie, and he gave nothing and was conveniently
01:38:55.960
Maybe he's just, maybe it's just the humiliation kink.
0.98
01:39:01.660
He also, it has come out, went on one of those legal websites 10 months before this.
01:39:09.660
You know, like it wasn't legal film, but it was one of those type of, you know, where, and he plugged in all these details that kind of dovetail this lawsuit, except he described his harasser as a he and a man and said he was with Morgan Stanley, not JP Morgan Chase.
01:39:26.660
Now it's possible, I could argue that one both ways.
01:39:29.820
he had details that did that didn't jive like is your harasser this lorna or is it he
01:39:35.500
did this happen to you at jp morgan chase or at morgan stanley he's worked at like
01:39:40.060
multiple banks over the past 10 years which is also sketchy yeah in my opinion and um but i could
01:39:46.120
also argue it that maybe this helps his credibility because he went on a legal website and was looking
01:39:52.600
for legal advice on what to do with alleged harassment he was undergoing or maybe he knew
01:40:05.760
they connected him with a lawyer and I don't know
01:40:27.780
he was having a woman at work who was harassing him and trying to blackmail him. He was not
01:40:31.380
comfortable telling me details, but kept saying this woman was making his life hell. I told him
01:40:34.920
I wanted to see what this person looked like. And he showed me a profile picture. I believe it was
01:40:39.100
Lorna. Uh, around dusk, I was leaving my apartment one day. I saw her standing across the street at
01:40:44.300
the intersection. Oh no, not her, him, this guy. He appeared to be waiting for the light to change
01:40:48.960
to cross toward my apartment. He was with a woman. I recognized her to be Ms. Hajdini.
01:40:52.980
While they stood there, this woman was standing very close to him. She had her face in his neck
01:40:55.900
and appeared to be kissing his neck i also saw her grab his she grabbed his rear end his head was
01:41:00.520
turned away from the woman as if to avoid the interaction he did not appear interested in the
01:41:04.100
woman and i did not see him reciprocate in any way again this just sounds like just look at him
01:41:09.860
yeah why would a girl like that go for a guy like him and she's very good looking pretty
01:41:14.280
and provided the cell phone like that's what a truth teller does maybe this guy will prove us
01:41:21.700
all wrong and he will that would be interesting produce some it would be hilarious right some
1.00
01:41:25.900
silver bulletproof yeah she's so cute i know she's adorable and she's currently getting her
0.98
01:41:30.260
reputation ruined by this guy because he tried to go anonymous but he used her name at every turn
0.78
01:41:36.480
right and where is his fish head wife in all of this there's so many apartments that's right
0.53
01:41:42.480
that's a good question where is the wife that's right she's at the apartment soliciting his
01:41:47.680
friends for threesomes like where is the why that is a very good question had to cheat on his wife
01:41:54.300
what's going on this is a very relevant question thank you for asking that because that has not
01:41:59.960
been cleared up yeah i think you may have just cracked the case that may be the key detail that
01:42:04.060
does it well we'll continue to follow the saga because we want to know what happens uh so far
0.82
01:42:09.240
i think this is complete bullshit and i'm entirely on her side open-minded to being proven wrong
0.91
01:42:14.220
however. Okay, we are back tomorrow with, how about this for a turn, Supreme Court Justice
0.97
