Why is Blake Lively's team talking about 'toxic positivity'?
All right, you guys, happy Thursday. But also don't be too happy because Blake Lively's PR team has introduced a new term to the lexicon. It's called toxic positivity. They're using that now in the press to describe the real life horror of what it's like to work for Justin Baldoni. I'm not kidding. He's apparently toxically positive. So lock him up. Throw away the key. We're going to talk about that. Also, the media is catching up to our podcast. Apparently, we told you guys over a week ago that Taylor Swift was definitely getting subpoenaed. Everybody ignored that. And now all of a sudden they're reporting this as breaking news, as exclusive news. OK, whatever. Plus, in case you missed it, I was able to join Theo Vaughn and Stephen A. Smith on their respective shows. And you know what? It's really great. I'm telling you, it feels like everyone is moving a bit more to the center. And it's a good thing for our country. But some people are having a different experience with these sorts of conversations.
Some people believe it is, quote unquote, Satan that is on the march. We're going to discuss that coming from the Babylon Bee managing editor. All right, guys, let's jump right into it. Welcome back to Candice. Okay, before we get started, I have to vent. I gotta vent about my two-year-old daughter. Bless her heart, you guys. She is two and she has got an imagination and that imagination is running. And sometimes it is running when me and her father are not there. Sometimes she slides up next to me and really sad, convincing face. And she'll say, you know, mommy, the boys at school are not being very nice to me. And then I have to tell her that she doesn't go to school yet and she's home full time.
And she has told us all sorts of things about her brother. She'll say her brother's sick, her brother's completely fine. But yesterday, she took it a little bit further, okay? She went to ballet class and told the other two-year-olds that her daddy was in prison. Okay, guys? I don't know. I don't know how to deal with this. I don't know how to deal with how funny it is and to be able to try to tell her why she shouldn't say that. And I don't know where she's getting this stuff from. I presume from her older brother who has an obsession with police officers in jail and prison. Anyways, you guys, I'm just looking for help here as a mom. Help me deal with this. And speaking of toddlers, Blake Lively's PR team has thought up their next attack on Justin Baldoni. And it's brilliant. It's exceptional. They are clearly spending top dollar, as we have learned, using their former CIA agents that they've hired them to convince the public that the real problem in this lawsuit with Justin Baldoni is that actually the fact that he's too positive.
I gotta tell you, after learning this, reading the articles, reading the deep dive, I am in fact prepared to switch teams. And so I want to show you it. Maybe you're going to feel the exact same way. Check out this headline in the New York Post. This is a real headline. Justin Baldoni accused of toxic positivity by former employees amid Blake Lively lawsuit. And here's a direct quote. It felt phony. Ooh. Oh, yeah. And that article is actually quoting from another article, which was featured in the L.A. Times. They're the ones that did the real work, the CIA work, you know, to get to the bottom of this very apparent flaw in Justin Baldoni's character. And I got to agree because, like, you know, when I watch his videos, I'm like, my cousin is way too positive.
You know, it's toxic. And I never thought that this could be a term that could be used to dissuade the public against somebody. And here's a quotation from that article. It reads, but to some observers, his public gestures, such as filming himself giving clothing to a homeless man or asking employees to sign their emails with the phrase, so much love, it felt performative, aimed at self-branding as much as bringing about genuine change. One employee says off record, quote, it was constant positivity all the time. I would say toxic positivity.
