because they are groveling to their celebrity friends.
Like, reading them as a third party, you have secondhand embarrassment for these celebrities who are groveling over more powerful celebrities and trying to bring them to their side.
They are invoking politics.
Ryan Reynolds is referring to Baldoni as a faux-minist, like F-A-U-X-minist, a fake feminist.
Yeah, I mean, there's message after message where they are invoking politics, feminism, being a good ally.
You can see this in some of the early text messages between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
They are like bonding over allyship.
It just makes your skin crawl because it's so cringy.
Yes, it's just like toxic millennial behavior, which I can say because I'm a millennial.
But they are just like trying to bring this huge network of celebrities to crush Justin Baldoni.
And they are manipulating the media in the process.
It's incredible to watch the behind the scenes happen with all of these text messages.
It's amazing.
Didn't one of them, I thought Baldoni actually hired the Johnny Depp.
Was it the publicist or the lawyer in the Amber Heard case?
Right.
I think that's the crux of everything in this.
One of the reasons I find this story so interesting and have from the beginning is it has potential to be a radicalizing experience for young people who are interested in pop culture in the way that people who are interested in politics have had some radicalizing experiences along the lines of what we were talking about earlier in the show, where you have
the clips versus the reality.
And what we see in that Vulture story, especially if you go back and read the original New York Times story that has been questioned hugely throughout all of this, every step of the way, it's that you see how there's a big business now in manipulating what was supposed to be the raw, authentic future of the internet, which was social media.
