What drama unfolded between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni?
And when we said that, just as we said that, within the gap between we said it and us recording today, Justin Baldoni released an entire website with every single receipt, every single text message. Who, what poor bitch had to put that together? I don't know. That is quite the job.
That is a real, that's like, you know what? This is how angry I am. I will sift through these messages like no one's business.
Forensic. I would call that frantically forensic. Actually, not frantically. Very well thought out and calmly forensic.
I feel like, okay, let's try and explain it slightly. I think people, a lot of, everyone kind of knows what's going on. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni did a film together called It Ends With Us. And it was based on this hugely popular book by Colleen Hoover. And then they turned it into a film and there was obviously bad blood as they were doing the press because they never did press together. They never really spoke about each other. Blake Lively was getting the worst press because actually she wasn't mentioning what the story was kind of about. And it's, it's about, it's a domestic abuse story in the end. And then people were going at her for that. It was Justin Baldoni's film.
Yes. So he was the director. He's the director. He's the one who got the rights to turn the book into a film. It's his film with his production company. Right. Then they hired Blake Lively as to play the lead and, She then played the lead. Some issues happened. She was trying to rewrite scenes. She was demanding $5,000 shoes even though her character has just come out of college. She was making all these quite diva-ish demands and things were kind of bubbling. It was clear they weren't getting on and then she accused Justin Baldoni of sexual assault. So there was a kind of a leaking happening. There was a bit of a smear campaign going on against Blake and everyone was kind of anti-Blake and then we realised that there was an intentional smear campaign and then she came back
and accused him of sexual assault in return. And now everything has just blown up.
And so basically there was a big piece written in the New York Times and it was like this kind of scathing piece against Justin Baldoni. And then it turned out that actually it was Ryan Reynolds who had a friend in the New York Times who then did Ryan a favour by putting that in without fact-checking it. So he put all this stuff in about Justin Baldoni and now Justin Baldoni is lost out to work and he's suing... Well, I'll tell you what, they're all suing each other now. So the lawyers are suing each other. The PR are suing each other. Everybody, it's not just Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Baldoni. Everybody's suing each other now. And it's gone mental.
I think Justin Badani's suing his publicist. Someone else is suing their manager. It's like legal whack-a-mole. It's absolute carnage. And I'm going to say, I'm here for it. Because I haven't been the same since Wagata shut down. I really haven't. There's been a gap in the market for me. And also... The Amber Heard Johnny Depp court case seemed like it was very serious. And there was there was it was like there was a lot of domestic abuse and all that stuff. And I didn't feel like it was one to kind of enjoy as such. But this one, you're like, what? Because I think they're calling him Lion Reynolds and fake lively. I think this is the end of everyone. I think what I like to think is they're all dicks.
everyone's a dick and then it makes me feel better by kind of leaning in and indulging or engaging with it all. Did you see? Did you see the thing?
It was the most embarrassing where she basically described herself as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and she had her dragons and her dragons were Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. And I'm sorry, I would not fuck with either of those people, but she was basically using it as a threat to force Justin Baldoni to accept her rewrites of
