Well, again, this is not a guy who's championing women. This is a guy who's using women. Instead of just like hiring a woman and giving her the director credit that she could deserve or the paycheck that she could deserve and bring to life the many talented women in Hollywood who aren't getting opportunities, he could have done that and he chose not to.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But again, so if this person was real, this person who's giving this TED Talk meant what they said, that person would have hired a woman to direct this movie.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's interesting that he uses the word Trojan horse, because a Trojan horse is like
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's a fake. You're implying that it's disingenuous and it's a way to kind of insert yourself into a community where people should otherwise think that you're the enemy, which I thought was an interesting choice of words. Maybe a Freudian slip. I don't know. This next part is wild.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I mean, like the self-own and the way this guy, man, is telling it himself. Like, again, people, if you're listening to this, ask yourself, like, if this man really bought into this, you know, would he be handling this the way he is, the way he is? You know, again, the evidence about his retaliation is pretty laid out pretty clearly.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And what's crazy about Justin's lawsuit, it's again, it's all, it's just a tons of text messages of just trying to paint Blake in a bad light. It's just like debating whether there's messages about bringing Taylor Swift in, talking about as if he were bullied into using parts of their song, whatever. Blake always had a producer credit in this movie.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's incredibly common for people with a producer credit or big name actors to have input. To like share their ideas. And Justin's whole narrative is centered around that Blake shouldn't have been sharing ideas or she was too high maintenance.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
if like that's what you wanted me to do he's like no you have you are always welcome to share your ideas yeah so like which one is it like is she allowed to share ideas or not share ideas again like one thing that people aren't talking about that i'm actually shocked about again justin wayfair bought the rights to this movie that's my understanding that they also financed a lot of this movie
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'm not familiar with the details of the contract, like point by point, but I am pretty sure because they financed it, Justin and Wayfarer, given the success of the movie, made a ton of money from the success of this movie. They got a lot of back-end profits. So assuming that's true, again, Justin's whole narrative is that Blake and Ryan hijacked this movie. And then my question is, to what end?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Like, what was their motive? You know what I'm saying? Like, so you're telling me that they decided to make up a story about Justin's behavior, get her entire cast to buy into this alleged lie, her entire team, her personal trainer, all had to...
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
join in on this conspiracy theory so that what blake could have input and then regardless of what her input that she had justin would still maintain his director credit justin and wayfair would still get all the profits like blake didn't make any more money from the success of this movie i'm assuming she got her paycheck so like so you mean you mean to tell me that blake and ryan
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
came up with this master plan. And regardless of what version they used, whether it was Blake or Justin's, if it was going to be successful, Justin and Wayfair were going to benefit. So instead of believing that story, I think people need to acknowledge that Blake decided to fight this fight. It would have gone away. I'm assuming...
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap Edition. I'm your host, Nick, and Matt and Rachel broke up over the weekend. Sad.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
that if it weren't for the retaliation, that Blake would have just, again, those list of things that they wanted to fight just to get back into filming to feel safe and comfortable, probably would have let it go.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Can you break this down for us, Leah? Break down the timeline for us.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But it was the whole retaliation part of Justin investing a ton of money to try to destroy her credibility and brand by hiring these people who are known to take down people online was why she is in fact fighting back. And she had the most to lose. And nothing to gain, other than trying to get back, like, her credibility from a guy who spent money trying to destroy it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And, I mean, shit, Natalie and I have been on flights, you know, past couple weeks. Now, with all this drama going on, everyone's watching this movie. It's gotten more popular, and it's gonna only make more money, and that means Justin and Wayfair are only gonna make more money from it, and they must... Must have known that.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
So you're telling me their big master plan was to just, what, have more input so that they can make Justin more money? I don't think so. I think they did that despite knowing that that would be a sad fallout to them fighting this fight and giving it more attention than it already had. Again, you just got to ask yourself these very basic questions.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And instead of deciding that you don't like Blake Lively, because again, she reminds you of someone you went to high school with, you just read the complaints. And Justin, again, has a ton of text messages. And you could read Justin's complaint and you could decide that Blake Lively is someone that you don't fuck with or someone that you don't like.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It does not answer the questions about Justin's behavior and specifically the retaliation of which is still going on. It's so obvious about the bots. It's still obvious that the people he was paying back in August sure seem like he's still paying them and they're still doing the exact same thing.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
flying under the radar, not getting caught, being covert about how it comes across. And honestly, I don't even think they use bots. I think they're far more sophisticated. That's why it costs $25,000 a month to keep these people on their payroll.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Play that. Do we have that?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I think it's important to note that Matt has made a career post-batcher out of being a food influencer. The last time I saw Matt was in New York. Me and my cousin, we were like, hey, we're going to go slice a pizza. And there was Matt just like also getting a slice of pizza and like giving his review. And so, yeah, he's full on doing his thing, you know, committed to the bit.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I mean, it's so obvious he called the paparazzi because there's it's this place in LAX after you walk up the gates. And as soon as Justin comes up to escalator, the TMZ reporter immediately goes to him. There's no like pause. There's no like, oh, my God, it's Justin Baldoni. It was like they were doing a scene, you know?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
No, it's the smile. He doesn't look caught off guard.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
When TMZ approaches you, it's very intrusive and you kind of like look around and you feel kind of uncomfortable.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But he loves it. It's so obvious that he and his team called TMZ. And again, his lawsuit doesn't even seem to be, I'm not a lawyer for the courts, but it seems to be for us, the audience, and try to win people in the court of public opinion.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Go back to the TED Talk. There's a part that Justin keeps telling on himself.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Serious stuff.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And so like this gives like, hey, I have this content that we recorded. Don't want to waste the content. So I'm still going to post it regardless of our relationship status.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
What else is he unconsciously doing? This is a man seemingly admitting to this behavior that he acts in ways towards women that he doesn't even realize he's doing it and it's unconscious. But now he's allegedly done the work that he's seemingly incapable of being this guy who has, in his own words, hurt women in his life.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's a very calculated person. And back to the allegation that Ryan allegedly called Justin a sexual predator. If your partner... was working with someone who made their whole platform about making an environment safe for women and being an ally to women and understanding women's plight and started calling their trainer to ask about her weight, postpartum, by the way.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And again, as someone who knows what it's like to be married to someone who just had a child, the vulnerability that all women feel about a lot of things, especially their body postpartum. And then here's Justin acting this way and then trying to paint himself as the victim is wild behavior. And the amount of people who are just trying so hard to not believe Blake because they decided-
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Why?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Because they don't like her.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
If you have back problems that make it at risk, then write out the scene.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Take the scene out. If you shouldn't be picking up people, then don't pick up anyone. And regardless of how much Blake lively weighs or doesn't weigh, you don't have the right to go behind her back and ask about her weight.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. And that's the whole gaslight part about it. It's like, imagine what it'd be like to work in this environment with this person who says, no, I'm the good guy. I'm the good guy. I'm safe. I understand. And then
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
constantly does things like hire his friend regardless and others debate whether this friend that justin hired was an actor or not actor justin claims he was i know blake didn't but once again if you're a man who understands the plight of women and wants to make them feel comfortable wouldn't you hire a woman to play that doctor you know like why is he hiring his male buddy
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Again, there's this example after example of how Justin is not the ally he claims to be. He's not the feminist he claims to be, even though he made his whole plan. And also, if you really are an ally, you don't have to yell it. You don't have to scream it. You don't have to talk about it all the time. You just do it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You just do it when it comes up, when the opportunity presents itself. You support the people you love.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
The amount of people online talking about this alleged Deadpool scene and acting as if like Ryan Reynolds was inappropriate for cracking some jokes. I mean, I don't know what it would be like. to be in Blake and Ryan's position, right? Like what they tried to do is try to finish the job.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
They tried to, again, it wasn't like, oh, Justin started making all these people feel uncomfortable and she threw a big fit about it. No, she tried to squash it, tried to get things back on track so everyone can go back to work and just hope that they wouldn't retaliate. That was their ultimate goal. And then, so they tried to, I guess, I don't know, deal with it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I mean, for all the people who are claiming that Ryan allegedly was mocking Justin Baldoni, if that's true, again, how does that make Blake's accusations less credible? I would do that and more if I were in Ryan's position. I would absolutely mock the guy. I would want to fight back any way I could. They're probably limited in ways they can fight back.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I would imagine they'd probably been talking to the lawyers and things like that. But the amount of focus the internet is giving this as opposed to, again, Stephanie Jones's complaint and all the shocking text messages that are in that and the shocking text messages that very clearly lay out that Justin hired this team and very much had the intention of trying to make Blake Lively look bad online.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's just crazy.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I don't know. For all the Team Justin people out there, I don't know. You're kind of telling on yourself. It's not that hard. And again, go look at his engagement video. This is a man who spent 30 minutes acting and performing skits that had nothing to do with his relationship and made the woman that he was about to propose to sit there and just watch him act.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It was a Justin Baldoni performance about Justin Baldoni, featuring Justin Baldoni, starring Justin Baldoni, directed by Justin Baldoni. Honestly, I don't even know his wife's name. For a man who wants to elevate women and hold up women and showcase women, boy, his wife sure lives in the shadows.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And they could have left.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But again, maybe you were shunned because you made Blake and her entire team feel really uncomfortable. Her entire team, like Jenny Slate and Landon Skinner, and her hairdresser, her assistant, Colleen Hoover, all come and back up Blake's story. But people want to still find reasons not to believe her. It's shocking to me. And also, Brandon, I didn't realize he was the same actor in 1923.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
He's an absolute badass in that.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, he's really great. I didn't realize that.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But yeah, it's a lot of text messages between Justin and Blake, and it's just painting Justin as a victim. It's text messages between Justin and his team being annoyed with Blake, being frustrated with Blake. And again, they're trying to paint Blake as the high-maintenance, overbearing, demanding mean girl that they're claiming her to be.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
A lot of the lawsuit is centered around this like Blake making the wardrobe come to her. Again, this is someone who just gave birth to her fourth child. Like God forbid that she wanted the wardrobe to come to her to make her life a little bit easier so that maybe she could spend more time with her kids.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And again, I would think that the guy giving that TED talk would be more than happy to accommodate that request as opposed to painting her in the light that he's so badly trying to paint her.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, and the amount of people out there deciding that Blake is a mean girl.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Or she's not, you know, she's not a girl's girl. They decided that, well, they're almost like, well, she kind of deserved it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's fucking crazy.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Anyways, I don't know. As always, as I said since August, ask yourself smart questions, the right questions, and just take Blake out of it. Take the person out of it and just read the claims. And I don't know how you can take some of that stuff out of context. Watch Justin's videos and ask yourself, is this guy sincere? Is he real? Or is he just telling it himself?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Or is it just an act to cover up a guy who just obviously has been problematic?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Okay.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
No, it's right up the escalator.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
He was flying Delta.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Watch the video. Again, there's no pause. There's no reaction. The camera was ready. Because again, when TMZ finds you, the guy's just standing there. These TMZ people just hang around these areas. And when they find you, then they'll roll the camera. This camera was rolling before Justin came up the escalator. Does this guy have, is he a psychic? All right.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli

Why were they admitting it?

E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That's awesome. But there's other platforms out there. Yeah.

I mean, after talking to Emily Baker, I'm Darwinism. I'm a little I'm a little sad. I mean, I don't again, I don't use it as a consumer. We use it. Obviously, we we post our videos on it. I thankfully have a team who posts that for me. But like, I don't remember the last time I was scrolling because I just want to protect my mental health.

And who's back on? It's Spencer Pratt. It continues to promote his wife, Heidi Montauk, who is now a pop superstar. Mm-hmm. And following in their footsteps, Leighton Meester's fans are trying to get her song, Somebody to Love, and they're buying her song. The big question is, is Adam Brody going to step up in the way that Spencer Pratt has?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Because I don't think this has the longevity that it's had with Heidi, if not for Spencer. He's been his wife's best PR manager, agent, you know, fan, and it's absolutely worked in the best possible way. So I would love to see Adam Brody step up for his wife.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Okay, so she doesn't want to be?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
OK.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Spencer and Heidi keep saying they're coming on. So hopefully they're coming on on Wednesday. We'll see. You know, she's she's very busy being a new pop superstar. So we will hopefully have them on Wednesday.

Was also a supporter of Heidi's song. So maybe Flavor Flav is really the musical curator. He also saved Red Lobster.

The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
She hasn't responded. Or the prayer post. Because usually, I mean, in my experience with these bachelor relationships or public breakups, usually the relationship ends long before people find out. There's usually like, hey, we should probably end this. Or if it's somewhat mutual, hey, we should break up. Even if it's not mutual... There's usually a normal reaction to what is a real relationship.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I had one coffee.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I had one coffee. But no sugar. I'm not even. Natalie ordered an Honor Palmer. My favorite drink ever. And I just watched her drink it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Emphasis on unsweetened. Accountability. It's good to have.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
No, you missed the part where I saw some residue. and the bottom of the tray on two trays and I collected the residue to see if it could work. And then I was like, no, and I threw it away. I threw it away. I could have used it. And it was like, it was mostly extracurricular activities and then maybe like, you know.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Paperclip, some dust, you know, pencil fibers, who knows? It was a smorgasbord of a junk drawer.

Yeah.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I opted to throw it away.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
The body's coming back. I haven't really been able to work out much lately because air quality, not good. And I haven't been able to do that. But yeah, I look in the mirror and I see me.

E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, they do. There's something there.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And then eventually there's that awkward conversation of like, well, how do we tell people? Here's the joint statement. And lots of times people are like, well, I'm not ready to deal with that right now. I need to kind of have my own kind of moment to process. It sounds like whoever made the decision, Matt just quickly went to Instagram and said, well, I just got to let the people know.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I couldn't agree more.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. I mean, when Natalie and I were dating and she was flying to LA to see me, I paid for the flights, but I offered.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But at a time where, yeah, I wanted her to come to me, I felt like I was in a position to do that financially. But what Natalie never said to me is, I expect you to do this. You have to do this. A man pays for everything.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'm just saying, like, if you would have ever early in our dating situation, this point blank made a statement that like, it's your job to pay for me, point blank, period. Yes, I do not agree with that. I would have been like, yuck, ew, ick.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I love taking care of my family. But like there's this you you remove the I guess it's like you remove the love language from it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
If you are like an active service person and you like doing things for the person you love, as soon as that person says, this is an expectation and this is your job to do it, it removes that ability to feel like you're doing something for that person you love. That I want to go out of my way and take care of you. I want to go out of my way and do something nice.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It doesn't feel nice when it feels like your job.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And it's required. And so like, I would, I would absolutely be like, you know what? We're just not meant to be.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's not going to last.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
He's coming to her concert. Was that a fake drowning incident? Like, what's going on?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I guess he just wants to keep it real. I don't know.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Or all the guys who just like stood there and watched.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Then all the other guys really look bad who are just like standing there.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Who is the other girl that Taylor is fighting with?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Are we team Sally or team Taylor?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I feel like, you know, even back to last season with Olivia, I just, we've met Taylor. We've had her on. I just, she doesn't seem to be this lying, manipulative girl. backstabbing, not a girl's girl that it seems like so many of her castmates are trying to paint her in. Maybe she just has us fooled, but like, I don't know.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I just feel like maybe they don't like her because she's, you know, they see her as competition.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I fucking hate that. If you're going to say people, tell me who it is. Name them. No, no, just random accusation. Oh, you know, everyone says this about you. I fuck you. Fuck.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
No, no. That's so immediately. You're wrong. If you're the person who says that you're so wrong. Also, Sally's boyfriend is giving Justin Baldoni.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
the hawaiian shirt connor wanted to turn off the throat grab and he did it twice and like aggressive in the bedroom do your thing we also we all love a little you know tension but like that a greeting on camera is your introduction grabbing her throat and pulling her in for a kiss i kind of like sally
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
usually eventually like usually you want to tell people because it's like if you're broken up and you want to live your life you don't want to like start like rumors about why aren't they together or you know god forbid you get seen with someone from the opposite sex you know and people are speculating about cheating and things like that so but you know the fact that matt seemingly rushed to the internet in a different country together they were just in japan and then london
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Having the right to do something doesn't make you not a douchebag for doing it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I kind of like her as a brunette.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, and why is Madison... This all seems fake. I mean, Craig didn't even meet up with JT. They did a scene.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And it wasn't even them getting along. It was them hashing out their differences.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But again, I mean, maybe he had a very serious accident, but like he can still be doing weird things.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Why would Craig make that up?

Anyways, that does it for Southern Charm. I hope they... Figure it out. Figure it out. I can't do any more Austin and Craig. Anyways, now it's time for our friend and the first elimination from Traders. Wells Adams! Yay! I'm glad you threw that in there. You were so pissed.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
We were so angry, too.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Well.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Cause like when you get accused of something, everyone thinks there are good people readers and things like that. But if someone was like, you're a traitor, like it's hard not to be like, uh, uh,
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You know what I'm saying? Like to not find the words and stumble over your words and then have people think that maybe that means you're lying and things like that.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
So about the boat, because I do want to ask you about the boat.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But yeah, you're usually Mr. Affable Wells. Oh, I know. Does the keeps his opinions to himself. Hey, guys, stop arguing. Let's just crack open a beer and have a good time. I'm the guy who ruffles feathers early. Like, I was just like, what is he doing?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Oh my God, I forgot about that.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That's what's really frustrating. Yeah. Reality TV edit. Can we talk about the boat? Let's talk about the boat. What were you thinking on the boat? Because again, maybe it was edited, but what we saw as you guys get in the boat, everyone's rowing. You and Sierra are like manning the ship. I didn't even know why that job required two people in the first place.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Did Lindsay post about it or something?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And then as the boat ride continues, all the women get kicked off the boat. All the guys are like, we need to be strong enough to row the boat. Meanwhile, you're still being like, row, row.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
So that's why it's a two person job.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That explains it too.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
He was talking.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Okay. So I'm glad. Thank you for offering that context. Yes.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'll be honest, even if they shared a relationship, she's married.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I messaged her and I gave her a heads up that like we talked about it. I didn't want to like throw her under the bus. And then she finally unsent them. I'm like, we've already seen it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Oh, dude. What were the traders thinking?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Chaos also implies no strategy.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
murder but you know i'm saying like that's why it made no sense to me and it also wasn't like leading people down a path to blame someone else that wasn't a traitor yeah to your point like traitors or faithful whoever they were there's some clearly people in the cast that like self-identify as like game players yeah strategic players and you would think that you would just take them out
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Boston Rob. Yeah, if I'm a... As a faithful, you're just like... Because at the end of the day, you're all competing against each other in a way, right? So just take out... I mean, I guess unless you think Rob's a faithful... I don't know. I think you should take him out because eventually Rob's, Rob's going to rob for Rob.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah we'll get into that in a minute but I will say, in Matt's defense, public breakups are hard. Not a lot of playbooks for it. But I don't know who he was getting advice from. Definitely wasn't his buddy Tyler.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You know, so like, as we saw, I think you should just take out.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. I said, I said, I said, I didn't think it was going to happen literally the next episode, but I said, boss or Rob's going to backstab Bob, the drag queen.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I think sometimes, you know, us men should just... Not.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And he's like, yeah. You know, broken clocks right twice a day.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Tom is going to go decently far because he's not a threat to anyone.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That's a good point. It doesn't make sense why she got voted out. It's weird, though. I do think maybe it's a criticism of Bachelor Nation, but the other franchises, like the Housewives, Survivor, Big Brother, they protect their own. And I feel like Bachelor Nation, we're all in it for ourselves. I don't think there's any... Were you and Gabby... Did she vote for you at the round? No.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
There's not like a, like Peta was my dancing partner. We remain friends. I, I, I try to wish her well, like, but if, especially now that I'm in a relationship, like if, if I'm in a relationship and my women friends are in relationships, there's things I just opt out of. Like if they post a thirst trap, I opt out. You know, I don't like I'm not there.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And I'm like, yes, yes I am. Do you think that comment of like, I'll get out, but I don't want to, is seen as like you trying to like, no, no.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
So what do you think ultimately caused you to have the target on your back? Other than like people saying, oh, you're the most outspoken, blah, blah, blah. That doesn't make you a traitor.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Did you say that at the round table?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Also, you should have probably been like, well, if you vote me off, like you're going to look really like not a good cop.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I don't need to support everything they're doing.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You know, like and post your thirst trap. But talk about your breast augmentation. I'm just not.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'm Lindsay Arnold's husband. I'm like, what the Rachel Kirkconnell? Like, well, they're broken up.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Who was it? Bob the Drag Queen.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's like, yeah, vote for Sierra, even if you don't think it's Sierra because she's your biggest competition. For sure. And he wasted his own vote on just being petty.

I think that's the part you realize I'm always watching it. It's like you, you know, it's just like, you have to be mindful of that because especially around the round table, people will like vote out of pettiness or just to get back at you. And you have to like kind of count votes because that seems to,
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
There's a lot of talk about Tom Sandoval detoxing.

The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I could see myself being first out. I could see myself, you know, because that's the thing. It's just, you know, it depends who else they cast. We've talked some shit about some people on reality TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
great television then right there listen yeah I mean everyone just like being like you called me this you said this about me I would not be worried about my ability to make television it really depends how yeah it could go either way and I think yeah to your point it's There's gamesmanship, but there's a lot of things outside of your control.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You know, like Johnny Bananas was the first one out last season. Like, I think he probably would have been an excellent player had he just, you know, and I think that made sense when I was watching it because he comes from the challenge. He's been very successful. Like a Dorinda, that didn't make sense. Johnny Bananas, let's just get a strong player out immediately, no matter what.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Like, that made total sense.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Man, first out. I thought you would have been a good traitor.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
yeah i that was a i'm a producer i'm picking you as a traitor of course then you would have been identified anyways yeah they would have been right about that but then i wouldn't have had like bob the drag queen and uh you know carolyn two traitors vote for me that's true they would have like rallied with you yeah that is interesting yeah but maybe that's why you got voted out because like you you know the nice guy and it's like
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
OK, exactly. Yeah, I thought.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's like I've been here for a day.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli

The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Like you got fired from a job. Yeah, she's like, what?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah.
The Viall Files

Yeah. It was good to see you. What else is going on in your life? I don't know.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. We might go out there, what was it, like the 7th, 8th, or 9th or something? Is that a Monday?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Monday's a Tuesday.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Early Feb, guys.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Maybe rehearsal off. What the fuck do I know about?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
What does a husband do when his wife's living abroad?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
We all know what happened with Chris Harrison no longer being the host. But like, you know, Rachel kind of obviously made the mistake that she made and we're not going to like get into it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Especially if it's like lying and Bachelor Nation is worse than murder.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Good talking to you.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
All right. Up next, you know Miss Christopher from Sopranos. He's also in season two of White Lotus. He played the sex-addicted dad. Michael Imperioli is with us next. Michael! Hi. How's it going? Okay, how are you? We're doing great, man.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
But I thought that AFR as a response to, you know, what was going on with George Floyd tensions being what they were, like was the most disgusting display of performative like social justice that I think I've ever seen. And like the way that Rachel was like
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
So what's new in your world, man?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Oh. yeah it's terrible do you uh we certainly know a lot of people thankfully we were okay we know a lot of people who sadly were affected did uh or do you have any friends that uh yeah yeah yeah several you know it's it's unimaginable tragedy uh we really big fans of white lotus here on this show we really really enjoyed you in season two what was that experience like it was a just
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
How long is filming? How much time? Four months.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Do you, obviously with such a large ensemble cast, did you get to interact with all of your cast mates or get to know some more than others? Because, you know, with different scenes, people are, you know, sometimes you're not working with people or is it more like a family atmosphere with the entire cast?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That's great. So much about White Lotus is like, you know, who's the one who got murdered? Did you guys when you get the script, is that part kept private from you guys? I don't I don't know if that was the same with Sopranos at the end. Did you guys know about the ending prior to it happening or how did that all play out?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
crucified on live TV so that the franchise and the people dealing with what was going on could feel better about themselves and then fans of Bachelor Nation at a time where everyone was like posting their black squares and things like that and you know being performative allies like I thought it was really sad how Rachel was treated and again that's not to say that she didn't make the mistake that she made but the response to what happened and I've had conversations with Matt since then I mean I
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Did Tony Soprano die at the end?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, is it easier for you to just kind of trust the director and let them lead and just kind of you do your thing?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Did you ever see Mike on Survivor?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That's really cool. Who do you keep in close contact with from that cast?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, that is cool. Talk to us about the restoration of Girlstown.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And then they use that photo.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, that's awesome. You make such a great point about so many great films and movies aren't available. One of the greater movies that you were in, Goodfellas, I watch it all the time. It's one of my rewatchables. Do you still fall into the category of you don't watch your work, or is that a film? Because that's one of those things that's constantly on TV.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Every once in a while during the holidays, you'll find it playing. Does that bring you back, or do you still avoid that one as well?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'll never forget that night. I thought it was really gross behavior on the part of a lot of people during that time. But anyways, I wish Rachel and Matt the best. I hope that they move on, you know, and maybe Matt needs a crash course on Internet efficacy. But, you know, weird. Anyways, speaking of weird, Justin Bodoni is continuing to sue everybody.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You've worked with some legendary actors. Has anyone been like a role model for you or who's had the biggest impression on your career from having the opportunity to work with them?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's super cool to talk with you, man. And very excited to see Girlstown restored. And anything else you want to plug before we let you go?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Season four. When it was airing, I got a lot of those. You got a lot of that, right? I got a lot of that. I didn't quite see it, but I'll take it. He's a handsome fellow.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah, I'll do that. All right, Michael. Really appreciate your time. Appreciate you and talk soon.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Hello, mate. I'm British.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
All right. Time to get in some Salt Lake finale.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
This is not even an opinion. This is a fact. Like, first of all, I mean, vicious, vicious game.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's giving saw trap. By not good.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It was awesome. I mean, clearly it seemed like Heather went to the producers and said, I have a great dirty idea. Or maybe they had an idea. Heather has made it very clear that she is a producer pet. She does her job. She does her job. She's clocked in.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
He filed a lawsuit, I think over the weekend, another one after he filed a lawsuit against the New York Times. I mean, man, this guy, I'm more just like kind of surprised by the internet in general and the amount of people who are just trying so hard not to believe Blake Lively in this situation. Maybe it shouldn't be surprising to me, but it is.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Nope, that's not a criticism. It's just an observation.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
What I loved about this game, it revealed who the real housewives are and who the fake housewives are. real housewives are. And Mary played, Browen played, Heather played, Angie played, and Whitney played. Whitney played. Whitney won.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
You could argue that was a little dirty.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And then what? So Lisa and Meredith literally didn't even play. You knew she didn't want to, and then basically performed her anger and stormed off chasing Lisa. I mean, are they okay about any of this? Just so she didn't have to read her nasty comments, which we'll never know what was said.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'm sure it would have been just a la Lisa, where it was like a nothing burger. Like, really, that's the worst thing you've ever said about anyone, Lisa? Yeah.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I don't totally believe that's a meanest thing. No. But I'm willing to believe it's possible. No.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. But Lisa spreads rumors. That's Lisa's thing to spread rumors. She spreads rumors about people, their husbands, their partners.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. And it wasn't like an example. She was like, this is a rumor I've heard. Now, how do you feel?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It was Heather's game.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And yes, it is very mean.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
What was said about Mary?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I am curious how Mary would have reacted to some real criticism.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And... Well, clearly, like, how do you even know... How do you even know the meanest thing you've said? Or how do you search that? You know what I'm saying? Like, how do you...
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
uh that brought me back to southern charm some of the the misuse of words intentionality and what when taylor was like innuendo or a hidden innuendo it's like a hidden agenda also we're glossing over whitney reaching out to monica
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Bot behavior. Well, yeah, let's not forget that. I do think a lot of people are forgetting, you know, just to kind of recap this whole drama. In late December, Blake came out with her complaint against Justin, right? And I think a lot of people are forgetting that the focus of that complaint wasn't the sexual harassment, but it was the retaliation.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Oh, by the way, to be clear, I'm not the podcaster.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Yeah. That they were referring to. Yeah. I'm pretty sure the podcaster they're referring to is the same person that Whitney was fighting with and Angie was fighting with at Kathy Hilton's Christmas party.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Not Nick. I do not conspire with these ladies.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
The more I watch this show, the more I feel like Monica really got thrown under the bus.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I've been saying that. Yeah. I don't see any difference between Lisa Barlow and Monica.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
So she wanted the proof.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
That's so true. I mean, like how, I mean, Brittany shouldn't have been recording, but the way they,
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I'm just going to reference early in the episode. I'm just going to
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I don't have an opinion.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
of them meeting. And then he like prayed on her kind of thing. Like he, from, from, from the internet, you know, it was like, you know, you know, when people like, you know, love all the, I love all my religious friends out there, but like sometimes people just like presume they want you to pray on them. You know, you know what I'm talking about?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
of the sexual harassment and the kind of the complaints that were laid out that Blake and Ryan or whatever, that meeting that they had that said, here are all the things we'd like you to stop doing for us to feel safe and comfortable to continue filming this movie and finish our work so we can all just kind of go home and never talk to each other again.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I clocked the tags. I was like, is there a tag there?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I love Whitney's, uh,
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
In the preview for the reunion, they bring the husbands. They always do.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
They didn't last season. For Salt Lake City, they always do?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Say what you want about Todd and Brawins. The fact that that guy shows up for the reunions, he must love her. He does. Because, like... Mm-hmm.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
answering Angie Angie was like oh my god like wait this means more like our friendship means so much to me and like what this isn't just like a show this is real life and it was really it was really beautiful I didn't agree with Mary in that moment but I you know I appreciate her explanation and her vulnerability around you know her abandonment issues because like I'm glad that Angie went there whether you like Brittany or not again those women were vicious and it's like bullying behavior that they like
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
showed britney and it was just fucking mean and like i think any decent person would go and just make sure that person is okay mary obviously has her issues with britney but like i'm glad that mary at least explained where it came from and it obviously was less about britney and more about just like she really wants to be able mary needs to know who her ride and dies are she needs so she wants to she wants that absolute trust and loyalty and it was it was an overall sweet moment
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
which included the request that Justin and his team would not retaliate. And again, the focus of that complaint was the retaliation part, which included tons of text messages and emails of what is hard evidence
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Well, that will wrap up this episode. A special thank you to our guests, Wells Adams and Michael Imperioli. We are back tomorrow with a very special Going Deeper episode. Excited to be bringing it to you. And then we are back on Thursday for another reality recap. We'll see you then. Bye.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
of justin's and his team's intentions to destroy the credibility of blake all those messages about hey this is the thing we need to do a la like the same way they would like try to take down haley bieber the statement of work that was an email that clearly laid out from justin's crisis pr team once again the crisis pr team that johnny depp's team hired to eviscerate amber heard's credibility
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And point by point, that statement of work to kind of lay it out, everything they plan on doing in terms of retaliating against Blake. That also includes, I think, the $25,000 a month fee, which again is an outrageous fee for any type of PR. So it exceeds the normal amount that anyone would hire for a normal publicist.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And I think a lot of people are just forgetting that another thing people are seem to be overlooking is the lawsuit from Stephanie Jones against Justin Baldoni. Stephanie Jones being Justin Baldoni's former publicist. And in that complaint included messages of Justin's new PR team, his crisis PR team between Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
those two women talking to each other, acknowledging Justin's behavior and acknowledging his creepy behavior. And in their words, it's just all so much. Those emails to me are very concrete. I don't know how they're taken out of context is what I'm saying. I read Justin's lawsuit over the weekend. And what is shocking to me is how many things in that lawsuit that they admit to.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
They're not even denying many of the claims. It's basically Justin lawyer basically wrote this long story that to summarize is basically saying, yeah, we did this and we did that. But basically, Blake is hysterical and crazy and high maintenance, and they're not even denying it.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's just like, you come up to him and like, let me just pray. for you, on you, above you, all around you. Can you read it, Leah?
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
It's like the whole the whole complaint is Justin's lawyer painting Justin as a victim to Blake's alleged behavior. Like, for example, he admits to reaching out to Blake's trainer to ask about her weight. Now he claims that had something to do with his back problems. There's a debate whether there was a scene that did or didn't exist.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And I'm like, who gives a shit about his, to me, I don't care about whether he had back problems or not, or with whether this scene existed. Like if you actually think that it's appropriate for your coworker to reach out to your personal trainer and ask about your weight, then I can't help you. And if you want to convince yourself that that's normal behavior, but, and then like the birthing video,
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
They admit to that. Again, they admit to all these random behaviors and they're just trying to spin it. I mean, it's gaslighting. For all the people over the years who wrongly use the word gaslighting just because when two people are in a fight and you disagree with them, this is literal gaslighting. Again, Justin's whole persona. We actually bring up the TED Talk.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
I've talked about this TED Talk multiple times over the past couple episodes. I think some of you need to hear some of these outtakes from Justin's TED Talk. I've been pretending to be a man that I'm not my entire life.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
Again, this is a guy who talks about standing up and championing the women around him. The same guy who had the opportunity to hire the director of this movie. Again, keep in mind, Justin is the co-founder of Wayfarer. that bought the rights to this movie. And so as the production company that ran this movie, they hired the director.
The Viall Files
E870 - Traitors w/ Wells, Baldoni Keeps Suing, Matt and Rachael Breakup, RHOSLC Finale + Michael Imperioli
And then when Justin had the opportunity to hire the director, he hired himself. And then he's given interviews since then talking about some of the more sensitive scenes in this movie that speak to the domestic violence. And in those interviews, he talks about he relied on the women of this movie to make sure that they were getting the proper feedback.
