Hi Ulyses! I saw your RUclips vid 2 wks ago and loved it. Best analysis. I wrote down: Acknowledge, Reflect, Transform, Redirect. I feel like Anne Hathaway did the first 3 after she saw HER Bad Interview w/ Kjersti. She apologized and it ALL went away! No scandal! I HOPE you return to Kjersti's show! Thank you for being smart! Lol
Yes it's pretty stark that Justin dedicated 5 years to this one project whereas she decided to milk everything for all it was worth and even tried to hijack the film.
absolutely agree with you!!! not only that she talked about her alcohol drinks during the premiere but she actually named one of her drinks in the name of the abuser in this movie! how cringe is this!
Ugh been working for the elite over 20 years and majority of wealthy people are like this. Its like the more money they have the less class they have ..especially behind the scenes
One thing I don't remember him mentioning is that a celebrity can ignore what their PR person recommends and do what they want and then push their PR to work it the way they only want it.
They don't live in the real world. They live in a world where there are plenty of people to suck up to them and to tell them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. RR and BL are very powerful people. They're probably very rarely told no or called out on their bad behaviour.
There is no going back. Everyone who knows how she described that dancing scene in her lawsuit knows she completely lied about what took place. She didn’t just misrepresent what happened, she fabricated parts of it entirely thinking they had no audio to prove her lie. Faking being abused while BEING the abuser is repulsive
ALWAYS, ALWAYS document everything and anything! Have said this to all my family and friends. Helped me with so many things from petty arguments to dirty customer service.
Sounds like she was a nightmare to work with early. I've been a manager and you bet I documented and saved EVERYTHING for problematic employees ... just in case.
The sad part is they do that because people and the system treat them that way. If celebs were held accountable for their bad behaviour, then they would act better. Also, the sad part is that we as the public only hear the bad stories about celebs. So it makes the celebs seem all bad by proxy when I'm sure there are ones who are professional and well behaved.
You are the only podcaster who has said basically this is Not a gender issue. Lies, deceit, and basic character flaws are a HUMAN thing. I’m lost when anyone says to me “Women should believe Women”. I’m older than dirt and I’ve certainly seen and experienced lies, deceit and manipulation from human beings from all walks of life.
Now this is I call weaponization of feminism. Of course, anyone should be listened to if they claim to have been victimized, but Blake has been caught lying again and again and again. So people saying we should go against evidences and also our instinct because it's a fellow woman truly do not know how to think for themselves and it's pretty scary.
I’m also older than dirt and I agree with you. I’ve seen it all and then some and Blake did everything she could to ruin Justin Baldoni. The lies were one after another and she was hoping something would stick. Fortunately he had the receipts for everything and could prove she was lying. She must have thought she and Ryan were just too powerful for Justin to fight. Being kind does not equal being weak.
Agreed. That saying annoys me so much. Women are human and all humans are capable of lying. It should rather be "Don't dismiss women" but you shouldn't have to deny evidence just because the story came from a woman.
im not for blake AT ALL. but i agree with the other comment. you could be afraid of the person lying successfully manipulating people so you want a gag order on them. but does it make you look guilty? unfortunately yes. but in Blake's case...its just obvious lmao
@@PeachySojushe should provide a shred of evidence then 😂 Instead she releases a hit piece in TMZ saying “did you know that Justin was sued by his own lawyer “ But the fact that he sued Justin and now works with him speaks volumes to his character 😂
@ that’s exactly why I said I’m not for Blake AT ALL…???? did you read my comment? im not even talking about her im saying its possible its not ALWAYS because you have something to hide.
Imagine calling the NYT and showing them (edited) screenshots and publishing a MASSIVE hit piece against him and then wanting a judge to gag HIM? Poor little entitled rich girl.
And the title of the article was "We can Bury anyone inside Hollywood" that was crazy and even crazier now that she's asking for gag order for justice's lawyer using the media to defend his client from her lies!
Anne Hathaway immediately apologized to Kjersti after she shared an interview with her that was nowhere near as bad as the one with Blake, it was just awkward and unfriendly. so it's not that hard to do. people can have off days, all it takes is owning up to it and showing empathy. everything happening to BL right now is her own effort.
Absolutely. We all have stress, bad days, but owning up to it makes all the difference in the world. The fact that with Martha Stewart her bump was laughed about and she was polite then….she’s a sucker and money impress her.
But interestingly, a makeup artist who's been in the industry for decades said, yes, Blake is rude, but the worst was Anne Hathaway. So, no, I don't believe it was an "off" day for Anne when she had that terrible attitude with Kjersti.
I feel like the entire lds church is narcissistic then because that's all I learned growing up in that church- because you can never not be nice. So , "just kidding" was the staple.
I really don't want to see her "come out of this," to be honest. She needs the Amber Heard treatment because of the damage she did. What she did was intentional malice designed to completely ruin this man and his family. This was not a misunderstanding or innocent mistake. To allow her to "come out of this" would be giving passes to people who behave like this and demonstrate destructive patterns. Hard pass.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have fallen greatly in public perception of their integrity and likability. They should recall how quickly Will Smith & Jada Pinkett or Amber Heard, Ellen DeGeneres and James Cordon have plummeted in public perception.
They’ve shown just how much celebrities gaslight their fawning fans. Hollywood and political pr has had the curtain pulled back. It’s all fake narratives designed to make the (usually powerful and wealthy) client look good irrespective of who they have to trash in their wake. It’s so good that this BS is finally being shown for what it is. These celebs are nobodies who sold their souls to the devil for their fame, power and fortunes. The ones who go about their business without relentlessly spewing PR narratives through paid press are the real deal. I’ll choose a Leighton over a Blake any day.
My guess would be Blake and Ryan initially lied to their PR people too, so they proceeded not knowing the truth. They may have thought Justin would never fight back legally as well.
Another reason Blake Lively’s story does not ring true is because she was in a position of power the whole time. She was not an unknown actress trying to make her way in the world. Does anyone believe she felt intimidated by Justin? She was bossing him around on set! Her real personality was on show during the promotion of the movie. When she started going viral for being rude and obnoxious, she (and Ryan) thought they could take the heat off of Blake by using the SA card.
Yeah. You are probably right about that. It's sad that Ryan had something to do with pulling an SA card on Justin. SA allegations should be a no go zone unless it's true and Ryan should not have went along with that, being a man and is in danger of being accused simply because he is a man snd has money. I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in the future someone accuses him in hopes of getting a payout. I think that karma will pay him a visit.
If you were being sa. Would you finish the movie working with your abuser and then make the claims at the end? Esp. If you had as much power as bL. It makes it look like you didn't care as much about the sa as you did about the fame or money. Or it didn't happen.
SH not SA but exactly from the beginning she was “helping” Justin because he was new to directing and movies in general compared to her (I roll my eyes saying it) she was domineering, she told him what to do how to do it etc it’s wild I would never have someone like that working with or for me.
I understand you’re not defending BL but I just want to point out that just because Justin isn’t as popular as BL doesn’t mean he’s “new”to acting. She forced him to adhere to her wants even though he is the director and owns the rights to the movie. All bc she has power in Hollywood & is a B list Actress married to an A list Actor, who feels like she can bully a perhaps D list Actor with her A list celebrity musician friend by her side. It was a bully tactic & a power trip, nothing more nothing less in my opinion. Her “help” was not asked for. She pushed it on him and he was trying to be nice. If Anything she will only turn this once D list Actor to an A list celebrity as he will only gain popularity from all this press. The reason why we say believe all women (generally) when it comes to SA or SH, is bc they tend to be involved in instances where there is a power imbalance between them and the man in question, whether physically or monetarily and/or if related to work, then ranking (ie boss vs employee). In this case BL has most of this power imbalance to her advantage, if not all of the power. So it’s actually quite flipped around. Except he is technically her boss but as we’ve all seen, she directed and took charge, with her husband in rewriting a lot of the script
She talked about Leighton Meester having been born in a cage (prison) in front of her and in a press junket which would have been highly humiliating and embarrasing, and preceeding this comment she said she already worked with two monkeys and pointed at her. She also said just kidding. She knows what she is doing and is trying to deliberately hurt others and her pass is the just kidding comment.
@@HandsomeMalcolmcats They're more annoyed about being called out for their awful behavior, unfortunately they don't often learn from their bad behavior
Let me give you just my opinion on why she looks “uncomfortable”: she kept directing him about what to do, how to do it and kept telling HIM (the director) that they should talk and not be silent for the shot. He kept telling her no, so imo she was NOT uncomfortable but ANNOYED. (That he was not receptive of HER suggestions)
She is like a school girl, giggling. The conflict was him directing & her wanting wanting control. The clip proves she lied she might be uncomfortable with silence or scenes like this. I’m sure both of them felt uncomfortable but that’s not SH
💯 She was annoyed he wasn’t taking her suggestions. And possibly worried about how RR would feel about these scenes if the rumors about him being upset about the dailies and script were true. The cheater is always afraid of being cheated on! 🤷🏻♀️
Lively and her husband cornered Justin Baldoni and told him: sell us the rights to this film franchise or we'll destroy your career. It appears to have backfired.
I think it was about taking down ScarJo (Ryan's wife when he met Blake), getting a franchise for Blake, and making IEWU more commercial and marketable. ScarJo signed as director for Eleanor the Great with Justin/Wayfarer while he was filming IEWU. Cancelling Justin = wrecking Wayfarer = tanking ScarJo's project, and activating the morality clause to get the IEWU sequel rights from Justin so Blake would own the franchise.
Kjersti, I’m SOOO thankful you brought Blake’s attitude to light. It’s a warning to other celebrities that the public won’t tolerate mean behaviour. I’m sick of celebrities being so entitled that they deem themselves above us mere mortals. You’re amazing! ❤
@@kathyolney4083 Totally agree. What’s the saying about being nice to people you meet on your way up because you might meet them again on your way down. All I’m hearing is how rude and difficult Blake has been from a young age. Who TF does she think she is treating people like they’re sh*t on her shoe?! I was so mad when I saw how she treated Kjersti in that interview. Trying to get a viral moment at Kjersti’s expense, and she’s not the only celeb to act like that. I cannot stand entitled celebs.
One of the theories I've seen floated today that seems really feasible is that Blake/Ryan wanted to take over the rights to the second book. Apparently there is a morality clause in Justin/Colleen's contract over the rights. People are theorizing that they cooked up the SH to kick the morality clause into action so they could then get the rights to the second book.
This, honestly seems extremely plausible. Blake/Ryan seem calculated and manipulative with everything…I think she was shocked and scared that actual audio footage existed from the dance scene. I hope that truth prevails in this and in all cases. From the lies to the gaslighting to the petty mean behavior from Blake and Ryan, I hope they (and all who take advantage of actual victims )are exposed.
Wow! That is sad if it's true. I would love to read/hear where you found that information. I could see that as a possibility. I know everyone is putting Ryan under the bus for Blakes actions but also wonder if he has fallen victim to her manipulative ways as well. Just a thought. I'm saying this because I've witnessed some men totally change who they are once they get with a woman, and I don't mean in a good way.
@@katkay7 I think him being thrown under the bus is a crisis management tactic. His net worth is in the hundreds of millions. He does not need movies or movie money anymore. By him trying to take all the blame I think they're trying to salvage her career. It removes all her agency as an adult capable of making her own decisions. It doesn't relieve her of the responsibility of making unsubstantiated SH claims and trying to destroy a man's life/career and then trying to gag him when he defended himself. She brags about using Ryan and Taylor as her 'dragons/monsters' to go to bat for her or go after people -- that is straight up Machiavellian and manipulative. She is no wallflower. I think that BL/RR engineered the whole thing together. I do think they conned Colleen Hoover into the idea that they would be better to produce the second book/movie. I believe that's why she deleted her IG because she's afraid of her DMs coming to light. (my opinions/allegedly)
@@userfromaz2084 I bet Taylor Swifts handlers are telling her to stay miles away from both Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, they are not good for business 😆🤣
Ryan allegedly had him removed from the agency that he and his wife belong to. His coworker step down from his pod cast...blame and rr destroyed his legacy movie and his career and reputation. These 2 get what they get. Sad cause I'm canadian and I really loved Ryan. Thank god 2 uears ago I was red pulled and we really should be sheep idolizing false gods like people.
Another Canadian here and I agree I thought he was a great guy. Just goes to show that what we as the public don’t see the real persona until something like this happens.
The Body Language Guy Jésus analysed the dance footage and said if Blake was uncomfortable in that footage then she deserves an Oscar because he couldn’t see a single sign of that 😂
Blake was obviously crushed out on Justin and didn't handle his rejection of her flirtatious invitations. She has a long history of falling for, and being involved with, her co-stars, even if they are married.
It was definitely obvious she was uncomfortable. The problem is that he didn’t have an explicit outline of what he wanted as a director. Love scenes are not something that most film makers improv on. That was sloppy.
@@nicolem889 What was definitely obvious was that she has poor acting skills, complete lack of emotional depth, and mind blowing inability to take direction from her Director. What we see in the footage is someone who is entirely unprofessional and unsuited to the job she is being handsomely paid for, and instead of taking responsibility for the fact, she is pointing fingers at others for her failures as an actress and her anti-social level inability to engage in healthy interactions with other human beings.
I saw that too and it confirms what we already saw. Now she wants to tell us that what we saw is wrong. Gaslighting everyone! Confirms that she is a bully
Has anyone noticed in the 9 minute raw footage, at the very very end you can hear Justin say “Blake lively special everyone” right after finishing the most unnecessary take of Blake’s heels..? Justin has documented him going above and beyond for her and her shenanigans. Team Justin !
I hate that her lies have been exposed and people still give her the benefit of the doubt that sexual abuse has happened. Why would she give examples as evidence for her claims that do not show sexual improprieties? She thought he wouldn’t be able to disprove her claims for those specific situations. She has not accused him of wrongdoing in other circumstances. People have to stop saying that maybe he acted creepy in a sexual way at other times. It’s not impossible, but it’s soooooo highly improbable that we should believe him when he says he did no such thing.
I so appreciate him pointing out that victims weren't spoken for by her. That's what we wanted. What we ALL NEEDED. Our voices to be heard. Not a campaign for you to get more money by selling beauty products, non alcoholic drinks, etc. And like he said, that's why it's so much easier to side with Justin because for the past 10 years, that's what he's been doing and what he did during the entire promotion of the film.
Which is so distasteful - naming your alcohol company after (or the same name as) not just an important, but the most important figure in reducing the stigma associated with alcoholism due to her public disclosure of her own struggles with addiction and her subsequent founding of the Betty Ford Center, which significantly increased awareness, accessibility to treatment for alcohol abuse, particularly among women. A fact that may be lost on a lot of Americans but the fact that there is no other woman who has done more than the former first lady and had more of an impact re alcoholism (this cannot be understated) in history and there are literally a million other names that could’ve been chosen I can’t help but think this wasn’t just a clever marketing ploy and not just a coincidence, regardless of whether it’s the name of her daughter or not, there’s no way a professional marketing team worth their muster would not have caught that. Disgraceful.
@@annascott3542 I don't know if it is better or worse, Betty is the name of her youngest daughter. She has said that it is named after her father's mother and sister as she wanted to honour her father seeing as his greatest success was after he had changed his last name to match her mother.
I thought the same kjersti’s hair looks lovely and healthy the colours on point . Blake’s hair I’m sorry to say looks like a bundle dry twigs . It doesn’t look particularly healthy or glossy or in great condition that you’d want to buy her hair products .
Please keep going with these fascinating interviews. It's crazy that an actress who should have been promoting her film tried to humiliate you. I was shocked watching that interview. With her mean girl interviews, idiotic alcohol promotions for a DV movie as well as the "wear your florals" and then using the star power of herself and RR to take away the movie and tarnish Justin's name, I firmly believe that she is on the verge of being labeled box office poison. This is an international story starring 2 massive egos and is a very appropriate story to follow. They should save themselves and settle, but likely won't.
I believe the reason Blake is doubling down is to save her marriage, not just her reputation. As usual, she caught feelings for her co-star, which she has a track record of doing (it's how she met Ryan in the first place), and when she was spurned and Ryan caught on, she made up this story to defend her actions. So she may take this all the way to the courtroom, which will be her undoing. This is WAY better than a soap opera!
I am not convinced she had feelings but rather a realisation that perhaps her marriage is not all its cracked out to be and perhaps she made comments about how Justin is about his wife etc and that made RR jealous and that is why he started getting involved on set just my opinion.
Point 1 is *so true!* Contrast Blake with Anne Hathaway. Anne immediately apologized to Kjersti, Kjersti told the public about the kind apology, the public went, “Oh, ok. Good.” And everyone stopped talking about Anne Hathaway and moved on without it causing any lasting damage to her reputation! I’m amazed at how bad Blake’s team has handled everything since day one.
I think her team might be reasonable people and proper professionals that know what to do and suggested her to apologise and all that stuff but the narcissist couple would not listen. NPD is playing here in full.
Very interesting to hear Ulyses. I love how you ask and then let your guests take their time to answer your question. We are not used to this nice and respectful behavior anymore. Thanks, you both❤
@@MSeliskaZ Yep. You can't publicly smear somebody and destroy their career with unsubstantiated allegations and then try to gag them when they defend themselves.
Blake's major problem is not taking the movie plot seriously and then claiming it happened to her. It comes across ingenious and egotistical. When we weigh both sides it's just the natural conclusion we come to.
It's also odd that she was okay multiple times saying she won't come back unless certain demands are met, why not add the sa accusations to those demands
Kjersti is fighting the good fight . Bringing these experts is reinforcing to the public that they are completely right in getting behind Justin. Blake (and Ryan) are the ones gaslighting the public .
♥️ Kjersti such a great idea to interview a crisis manager, Ulyses Osuna. So interesting to hear Ulyses’s opinion and your discussion, thank you for sharing this conversation with us.
Why ask why is Blake's team "allowing" her to do all this? It's so obvious she is over riding them too! She is not going to let anyone tell her what to do because she always thinks she is right. Over anyone, Justin, PR experts etc. Blake bulldozed her way through everyone to do what she wants plain and simple. She is not going to listen to some PR team.
She and Ryan are Jessie Smollett but with a lot of money. Those lies could have been devastating to Justin. They could have just left him alone, but no. Their heads are so big. They wanted to demonstrate their power (or their brains in lying). There is no turning that around. The only way to put out the fire is to pay a large sum of money, and publicly apologize for being knowingly false because of their mental health issues and bad upbringing.
@@veronicaleon8075 I am 100% certain Blake and Ryan sat down and reviewed the dallies to find a scene where they believed there wasn't any audio so they could spin the lie of SH.
I think Justin must make the sequel with different actors since we didnt get to see his cut of the movie. All his supporters now will watch it and it will be successful. I hope Justin sees this comment. We still want to watch his cut of the movie
I will not watch this cut because it’s got such bad karma with BL and RR all over it. Justin couldn’t even be at his own premier. If Justin redid it with a new cast I’d watch it along with the sequel. He deserves to walk the red carpet and be proud of his hard work.
@@leanne6821You are right. I first watched the movie back in Aug 2024 and really really liked it. I didn’t know there was drama until after I watched it. Then I watched it again this past weekend to see if I can spot her dodging him and it was cringe. I realized I didn’t enjoy it bc of her. Her acting is not great as well. So why did I love the movie the first time around? The message. It was powerful. The second time around, you are right, bc of her and what we now know has happened this movie is ruined. I suspect if people watch it now they will only concentrate on her ugliness. Baldoni was right in thinking he needed to make sure positive press went out about her when the movie just came out. Now I know this to be true about all movies: make sure everyone gets along and for those that don’t severe money cuts if they leak any nasty things about the crew. Too much money at stake for movies to fail over loose lips.
I am SO glad you got @Ulyses on your show! I saw his RUclips vid 2 wks ago. Best analysis IMO! I learned: Acknowledge, Reflect, Transform, Redirect! I took notes haha! Bring him back pls
Not only had she not read the book but obviously never read the script. If she felt uncomfortable about the script they could have found a grownup to play that part.
Narcissists never apologize. And if they do, it is just manipulation and not sincere. Like when she dragged princess Catherine online, she offered a pathetic non apology that didn't even mention Catherine. She will never back down.
Did she drag her? I only saw the riffing or whatever is called .. making a joke of the photo shop fail. Blake is obviously a bad person but it's annoying when I read over exaggeration of events. There are way worse things this woman has done.. the Kate thing wasn't even personal towards Kate.. it's the one thing she did that actually was a "joke".
100% true that she should have called Kjersti right away and apologized! Their lack of humility is ruining Blake and Ryan. The power and fame has completely gone to their heads and people are seeing through it. People are getting tired of celebrity culture and want transparency, honesty and relatability.
Kjersti, why is no one talking about how sexualized Ryan’s humor is? I can’t imagine that no employee during the making of DP movies never felt uncomfortable.
Well, his press junket with his mother, Hugh Jackman and Brandon S was highly “secsualised” and was absolutely awful and cringe to watch - about the raging jealous husband to in-love with her Co-star. I felt violated after watching it and I find it amazing that he does and gets away with stuff like that all the time. JB has done absolutely nothing of the sort and now he’s facing these allegations. Projection is all I see from those two sociopathic narcissists (also known as) BL and RR.
You are completely right, the gag order hasn’t been approved. I still feel like she is taking it too far after she was the one that started the press war. A while back I still had hope she would change her antics but the more and more I see and read, the more I feel like these guys do not deserve their fame, money and reputations.
DON'T excuse her behavior as "humor" or joking. That is what abusers and bullies do all around the world. "I was only joking" is said by 100% of all bullies.
So refreshing to see two intelligent people discuss an issue in depth. The idea that two things can be true at the same time is a concept we need to consider more often before forming opinions. Thanks for this!
I just have to tell you how much I appreciate you Kjersti. As someone who also does interviews with people in the entertainment industry... sometimes it becomes disheartening and soul-sucking. And your coverage isn't just fascinating, you also show such bravery and integrity in how you cover these topics. Keep doing what you are doing ❤
I don't like the comment that Justin's career is tanking. We all need to see how this shakes out. From what I see so far, Blake has some truth issues....I pray that Justin's career will survive this terrible situation.
I've said this so many times in life.... no celebrity is bigger than the public. We can boycott that person if they are disrespectful and rude. Celebrities forget who pays their paycheck. It's the people who go to the movies and support them so if someone isn't worthy of our hard earned time and money to support their fame, then they will find out the hard way.
So nice to hear from and get to know Ulyses Osuna - such a cool calm logical head on his shoulders. Ulyses for President. Very much enjoyed this intelligent conversation. Thanks Kjersti - you have a great channel!!!
What does the slow dance scene convey: 1) She was out of character a lot 2) She was trying to direct the director 3) She was annoyed not getting her way 4) She enjoyed some moments for sure 5) She is awkward at times All this being said we cannot conclusively say this is an example of sexual harassment as they were supposed to be in character. The scene was described as them dancing in a bar being in a world of their own. The word romantic was not used but implied. I did hear Justin say he would be leaning in almost kissing her lips. It was like a coy cat mouse game going on. Just because Blake alleges that there was no plan and it was all improvised does not mean that is entirely true, as Justin was explaining as they were filming. We saw that with our own eyes. She was agreeable. If at any time she was truly uncomfortable or wanted to tap out she had that autonomy. Even though Justin was her “boss” and the “director” as her lawyers pointed out, it was not the typical subordinate and insubordinate dynamic power play at work here. We all know that now. Blake was inserting her say in EVERY aspect of the process and Justin would have respected her boundaries if she laid them out. She is just as culpable to not discuss the scene beforehand if there were any misunderstanding. At least by the second take she could have paused not feeling comfortable. If anything this is entrapment and like a bait and switch. Literally at one point after he rubs his thumb on her bottom lip she tilts her head positioning her mouth towards him embracing for a kiss, not him….her! Using a scene believed to have no sound to paint an entirely different picture of what was happening is extremely manipulative.
She is insecure in her relationship with her husband you hear it when he says they are cute she is like we are more than cute(defensive). That is a response by someone who wants validation that her relationship is perfect so her doubt can be put aside. If you are confident in your relationship you don't get defensive.
I’m a woman, and a survivor of DV and SA at the hands of my father during my childhood. I STRONGLY disagree that women should believe women. Every person (female or male) shouldn’t automatically be believed simply bc they r the same gender. Every person’s complaints should be investigated and found if there is merit or not based on the FACTS of the situation. Believing someone simply bc they share a gender is wrong, and discourages critical thinking which is imperative to have in today’s landscape.
I think it is telling that Blake own siblings didn't speak up in her defence . And with Candace Owen taking direct aim at Ryan , Ryan would be too busy to save his own career and reputation . Blake is doomed either way . The best possible outcome for the toxic couple is Ryan gets away with minimum damage though I wouldn't bet on it .
What Blake and Ryan need to do is ask for a settlement and Justin agree under the condition they write a letter of apology to Justin and share it publicly.
Justin needs a very loud and public apology from Blake and Ryan, Jennie Slate, the other guy in the movie, the author, Sony, Talyor Swift, and WME at a minimum and a huge fat check.
The trouble with that is in a letter, the media doesn’t have to really cover it and it could be swept under the rug. just like his last lawsuit that they’re trying to bring up now, the lawyer is going back to say, well it was settled out of court and that doesn’t mean he paid, it means it was dismissed because it was meritless and the original movie 5 feet apart was based on a book not a stolen screenplay and in fact, he became friends with the guy that was suing him and even put him in a documentary. all of that gets watered down and not reported on so it’ll be really important to clear his name publicly LOUDLY in a really big way with a lot of money for people to know, he is absolved of this heinous crime.
FYI… Justin Baldoni was an executive producer on a recent film where Scarlett Johansson is the director. Wayfair Studios (sp?) Also helped finance the movie - “Eleanor the Great.”
I’m invested in this whole ordeal….and I’m invested hearing Kjersti bringing the latest update. She is hitting all the right talking points about the case. The lady goes far and beyond the headlines. She does the psychology of it all and I love that!
First, they claim that the messages and footage corroborate everything in BL's lawsuit. But if that's the case and it benefits them, why the sudden request for a gag order?
He is spot on. The problem for her and RR, but especially her, is this has gone on for too long and has gotten so bad for them, that no one would believe an apology at this point. Most would just see it as something they felt they absolutely had to do to mitigate further damage to their reputation. It would be nearly impossible to successfully sell sincerity, especially now. It would never happen anyway. Not in them.
When Blake first filed her lawsuit, I felt I could not be Team Justin; the accusations sounded horrible. But after I saw the actual video, I was struck by the discrepancies between what Blake said versus what actually happened. I have to concede: Justin looks innocent. The interpretation most charitable toward Blake is that she had a paranoid misinterpretation of what Justin said and did.
Yes, please have Mr. Osuna on again. He gives a measured, calm and logical face to crisis management as opposed to all those recent PR texts and emails that are now immortalized (the internet is forever) in several court cases. Mr. Osuna is what I would expect and want from a crisis manager. Maybe also have a psychologist on, because I continue to not understand how no one stopped Blake Lively (and Ryan Reynolds) from marching so confidently into a highly dangerous jungle. If Lively's reps have proof, they either should use that evidence asap in discovery (pre-trial) or in an arbitration making a settlement and papering the room with NDA's.
Excellent guest and program today. Please have him back again. The information and analysis offered not only great insights into the Baldoni/Blake conflict but lessons everyone can learn from. * When someone shows you they truly are, proving they are not credible believe it. *Be prepared for the consequences of your behaviors/actions and for people to call you out. * Do not gaslight people, denying the obvious and assuming others are stupid. The camera never lies. * Be a mature adult and take responsibility. * Be honest. Admit your faults and own up to your mistakes. * Be willing to make amends for your wrong doing. Do not dig in your heels, double down or throw others under the bus.
Thank you for having me!
You were so great! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good work Ulysas. Blessings from South Australia 🌷
Liar !
Great conversation! ❤
Hi Ulyses! I saw your RUclips vid 2 wks ago and loved it. Best analysis. I wrote down: Acknowledge, Reflect, Transform, Redirect. I feel like Anne Hathaway did the first 3 after she saw HER Bad Interview w/ Kjersti. She apologized and it ALL went away! No scandal! I HOPE you return to Kjersti's show! Thank you for being smart! Lol
Blake tries so hard to be as “witty” as Ryan but always misses the mark. Personally, I think they’re both obnoxious.
💯💯💯💯💯
She comes across as bitchy and is a flat out bully to others
I agree!
YES👏👏
they are
Its insane that she promoted alcohol with a movie about domestic violence and naming a drink after the main character. How dumb could they be.
The main abusive character at that ! I'm surprised she didn't call it black and blue!
@@johannawigg6921bahahaha 😂
Yes it's pretty stark that Justin dedicated 5 years to this one project whereas she decided to milk everything for all it was worth and even tried to hijack the film.
absolutely agree with you!!! not only that she talked about her alcohol drinks during the premiere but she actually named one of her drinks in the name of the abuser in this movie! how cringe is this!
Agreed. Anyone who has looked into dv on a surface level knows how much of an issue alcohol can be.
My sister always said “just kidding” after insulting me. She was not kidding.
Common tactic for bullies & bigots who are usually jealous and insecure.
I dunno about your sister but that is one the very first tricks narcissists learn.
Passive aggressive
I'd say to her "Do you see me laughing? No? Then stop the F talking to me like that or I'm gonna stop talking to you at all!"

It feels sooooo good

@@Sharon-xn1dm😂 Good one!
I don't think Blake Lively knows what being humble or what humility is.
It would be nice. Unfortunately Blake isn't accepting responsibility for any of this which is a clear indicator she's not been humbled at this point.
The fact that celebrities need to HIRE a person to tell them “don’t be an @-hole, own up to your mistakes and apologise” is mind boggling to me.
I KNOW RIGHT?? CRAZY SHIT!
Truly
Ugh been working for the elite over 20 years and majority of wealthy people are like this. Its like the more money they have the less class they have ..especially behind the scenes
One thing I don't remember him mentioning is that a celebrity can ignore what their PR person recommends and do what they want and then push their PR to work it the way they only want it.
They don't live in the real world. They live in a world where there are plenty of people to suck up to them and to tell them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. RR and BL are very powerful people. They're probably very rarely told no or called out on their bad behaviour.
There is no going back. Everyone who knows how she described that dancing scene in her lawsuit knows she completely lied about what took place. She didn’t just misrepresent what happened, she fabricated parts of it entirely thinking they had no audio to prove her lie. Faking being abused while BEING the abuser is repulsive
Illuminati tactic.
repulsive
100% this, this, this!!! 👏👏👏
Teachable example as DARVO. DARVO is an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender."
Malignant narcissists she is
Brilliant of Justin to document everything. No wonder Blake and Ryan are scared.
I thought it was normal to document everything. There’s almost always behind the scenes footage. Even for voice actors
ALWAYS, ALWAYS document everything and anything! Have said this to all my family and friends. Helped me with so many things from petty arguments to dirty customer service.
It was very interesting around her allegation about the dance scene as she stated there was no sound, so she thought this lie would not be uncovered.
Sounds like she was a nightmare to work with early. I've been a manager and you bet I documented and saved EVERYTHING for problematic employees ... just in case.
She Is a Nightmare
I'm just sick of Hollywood thinking that they are Gods.
Hollyweird
Or politicians.
Or anyone who's wealthy, really.
The sad part is they do that because people and the system treat them that way. If celebs were held accountable for their bad behaviour, then they would act better. Also, the sad part is that we as the public only hear the bad stories about celebs. So it makes the celebs seem all bad by proxy when I'm sure there are ones who are professional and well behaved.
And yet a lot of people look up to them, idolize them.
All wealthy people feel like that tho. Think on it.
You are the only podcaster who has said basically this is Not a gender issue. Lies, deceit, and basic character flaws are a HUMAN thing. I’m lost when anyone says to me “Women should believe Women”. I’m older than dirt and I’ve certainly seen and experienced lies, deceit and manipulation from human beings from all walks of life.
Now this is I call weaponization of feminism. Of course, anyone should be listened to if they claim to have been victimized, but Blake has been caught lying again and again and again. So people saying we should go against evidences and also our instinct because it's a fellow woman truly do not know how to think for themselves and it's pretty scary.
Amen sistah. Blindly believing ANYONE is foolish.
I’m also older than dirt and I agree with you. I’ve seen it all and then some and Blake did everything she could to ruin Justin Baldoni. The lies were one after another and she was hoping something would stick. Fortunately he had the receipts for everything and could prove she was lying. She must have thought she and Ryan were just too powerful for Justin to fight. Being kind does not equal being weak.
Same, sister!
Agreed. That saying annoys me so much. Women are human and all humans are capable of lying. It should rather be "Don't dismiss women" but you shouldn't have to deny evidence just because the story came from a woman.
If you’re attempting to silence someone you have something to hide. Period.
im not for blake AT ALL. but i agree with the other comment. you could be afraid of the person lying successfully manipulating people so you want a gag order on them. but does it make you look guilty? unfortunately yes. but in Blake's case...its just obvious lmao
@@PeachySojushe should provide a shred of evidence then 😂
Instead she releases a hit piece in TMZ saying “did you know that Justin was sued by his own lawyer “
But the fact that he sued Justin and now works with him speaks volumes to his character 😂
@ that’s exactly why I said I’m not for Blake AT ALL…???? did you read my comment? im not even talking about her im saying its possible its not ALWAYS because you have something to hide.
@@PeachySoju didn’t say you were at all
Was only adding to it, I think my tone was a but weird oops 🫶
Yep
Imagine calling the NYT and showing them (edited) screenshots and publishing a MASSIVE hit piece against him and then wanting a judge to gag HIM? Poor little entitled rich girl.
And the title of the article was "We can Bury anyone inside Hollywood" that was crazy and even crazier now that she's asking for gag order for justice's lawyer using the media to defend his client from her lies!
Right!!
Pretty girl privilege
Unbelievable gull!
Imagine being the reporter at NYT who swore to his/her boss that they had checked everything before publishing….all credibility is lost.
Anne Hathaway immediately apologized to Kjersti after she shared an interview with her that was nowhere near as bad as the one with Blake, it was just awkward and unfriendly. so it's not that hard to do. people can have off days, all it takes is owning up to it and showing empathy. everything happening to BL right now is her own effort.
Absolutely. We all have stress, bad days, but owning up to it makes all the difference in the world. The fact that with Martha Stewart her bump was laughed about and she was polite then….she’s a sucker and money impress her.
@Vacheriedevacherie Blake is a snob and punches down.
Yes, but it looks as if with Blake bad press behaviour is a constant, a pattern.
But interestingly, a makeup artist who's been in the industry for decades said, yes, Blake is rude, but the worst was Anne Hathaway. So, no, I don't believe it was an "off" day for Anne when she had that terrible attitude with Kjersti.
@@bpxl53yewz29 I'm sure she learned from it. I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt.
Blake and Ryan NEED to prepare for the hard questions when they are CROSS EXAMINED IN COURT! Hope she wears her florals!
Both in florals to make their point across😂
@@AstridPerellon😂😂😂
Don’t worry! She will bring her dragons.
I can't even look at florals now.

"Just Kidding" - is not humor - that is a classic narcissistic trait.
Insult, then "just kidding" its a form of gaslighting
Definitely narcissistic
It’s like saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” as an apology rather than saying “I’m sorry “
Yet, she gets offended each time someone is congratulating her for expecting a child.
I feel like the entire lds church is narcissistic then because that's all I learned growing up in that church- because you can never not be nice. So , "just kidding" was the staple.
She lied and exaggerated way too much. The public doesnt trust her anymore and can't believe a word she says
Facts
I really don't want to see her "come out of this," to be honest. She needs the Amber Heard treatment because of the damage she did. What she did was intentional malice designed to completely ruin this man and his family. This was not a misunderstanding or innocent mistake. To allow her to "come out of this" would be giving passes to people who behave like this and demonstrate destructive patterns. Hard pass.
This! 🎯👏👏👏👏
Agree 100.
Imagine the pain his children would be in
This can destroy their family
Yep time for BL to share a casa with Heard in Spain 🇪🇸
I completely agree.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have fallen greatly in public perception of their integrity and likability. They should recall how quickly Will Smith & Jada Pinkett or Amber Heard, Ellen DeGeneres and James Cordon have plummeted in public perception.
Corden & the omelet!
They’ve shown just how much celebrities gaslight their fawning fans. Hollywood and political pr has had the curtain pulled back. It’s all fake narratives designed to make the (usually powerful and wealthy) client look good irrespective of who they have to trash in their wake. It’s so good that this BS is finally being shown for what it is. These celebs are nobodies who sold their souls to the devil for their fame, power and fortunes. The ones who go about their business without relentlessly spewing PR narratives through paid press are the real deal. I’ll choose a Leighton over a Blake any day.
...And all those people plummeted and have never had their reputations rehabilitated -- they are permanently affected.
My guess would be Blake and Ryan initially lied to their PR people too, so they proceeded not knowing the truth. They may have thought Justin would never fight back legally as well.
Another reason Blake Lively’s story does not ring true is because she was in a position of power the whole time. She was not an unknown actress trying to make her way in the world. Does anyone believe she felt intimidated by Justin? She was bossing him around on set!
Her real personality was on show during the promotion of the movie. When she started going viral for being rude and obnoxious, she (and Ryan) thought they could take the heat off of Blake by using the SA card.
Yeah. You are probably right about that. It's sad that Ryan had something to do with pulling an SA card on Justin. SA allegations should be a no go zone unless it's true and Ryan should not have went along with that, being a man and is in danger of being accused simply because he is a man snd has money. I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in the future someone accuses him in hopes of getting a payout. I think that karma will pay him a visit.
1000000000% 💯
If you were being sa. Would you finish the movie working with your abuser and then make the claims at the end? Esp. If you had as much power as bL. It makes it look like you didn't care as much about the sa as you did about the fame or money. Or it didn't happen.
SH not SA but exactly from the beginning she was “helping” Justin because he was new to directing and movies in general compared to her (I roll my eyes saying it) she was domineering, she told him what to do how to do it etc it’s wild I would never have someone like that working with or for me.
I understand you’re not defending BL but I just want to point out that just because Justin isn’t as popular as BL doesn’t mean he’s “new”to acting. She forced him to adhere to her wants even though he is the director and owns the rights to the movie. All bc she has power in Hollywood & is a B list Actress married to an A list Actor, who feels like she can bully a perhaps D list Actor with her A list celebrity musician friend by her side. It was a bully tactic & a power trip, nothing more nothing less in my opinion. Her “help” was not asked for. She pushed it on him and he was trying to be nice. If Anything she will only turn this once D list Actor to an A list celebrity as he will only gain popularity from all this press.
The reason why we say believe all women (generally) when it comes to SA or SH, is bc they tend to be involved in instances where there is a power imbalance between them and the man in question, whether physically or monetarily and/or if related to work, then ranking (ie boss vs employee). In this case BL has most of this power imbalance to her advantage, if not all of the power. So it’s actually quite flipped around. Except he is technically her boss but as we’ve all seen, she directed and took charge, with her husband in rewriting a lot of the script
She talked about Leighton Meester having been born in a cage (prison) in front of her and in a press junket which would have been highly humiliating and embarrasing, and preceeding this comment she said she already worked with two monkeys and pointed at her. She also said just kidding. She knows what she is doing and is trying to deliberately hurt others and her pass is the just kidding comment.
THIS! I saw the clip of that and was disgusted. How awful to say that about your coworker
That was such a horrible comment. I was surprised that clip didn’t go viral more. Totally disgusting.
@@maggie198333 They missed it because it was in the same press junket as the monkey comments, just right after so a lot of people missed it.
Mrs. BeDoneByAsYouDid will be paying Mean Girl a visit soon. Not kidding. 😉
😳 omg😢
You can't be sorry when you never think you are wrong.
Hollywood entitlement.
Exactly. people that say “sorry, but” then tell you how it’s your fault are never really sorry because they’re not admitting any wrong.
@@HandsomeMalcolmcats They're more annoyed about being called out for their awful behavior, unfortunately they don't often learn from their bad behavior
So true. It is giving god complex to the max.
Exactly
Let me give you just my opinion on why she looks “uncomfortable”: she kept directing him about what to do, how to do it and kept telling HIM (the director) that they should talk and not be silent for the shot. He kept telling her no, so imo she was NOT uncomfortable but ANNOYED. (That he was not receptive of HER suggestions)
She is like a school girl, giggling.
The conflict was him directing & her wanting wanting control.
The clip proves she lied she might be uncomfortable with silence or scenes like this.
I’m sure both of them felt uncomfortable but that’s not SH
💯 She was annoyed he wasn’t taking her suggestions. And possibly worried about how RR would feel about these scenes if the rumors about him being upset about the dailies and script were true. The cheater is always afraid of being cheated on! 🤷🏻♀️
Ur probably absolutely correct
I absolutely agree her discomfort was her being annoyed at not getting her way, trying to play director.
Good take.
Blake's problem is that she has no ACCOUNTABILITY. Bullying is NOT a good look.
Lively and her husband cornered Justin Baldoni and told him: sell us the rights to this film franchise or we'll destroy your career. It appears to have backfired.
Yes!!!! I bet!
I think it was about taking down ScarJo (Ryan's wife when he met Blake), getting a franchise for Blake, and making IEWU more commercial and marketable. ScarJo signed as director for Eleanor the Great with Justin/Wayfarer while he was filming IEWU. Cancelling Justin = wrecking Wayfarer = tanking ScarJo's project, and activating the morality clause to get the IEWU sequel rights from Justin so Blake would own the franchise.

Thank you. The plot just thickened for me. Were they trying to do two birds, one stone? Bwwwaaahhhhhhh.
@@prof.jezebelwow 😮 there are so many layers to this!
@@prof.jezebel what would be the point in taking down ScarJo?
Kjersti, I’m SOOO thankful you brought Blake’s attitude to light. It’s a warning to other celebrities that the public won’t tolerate mean behaviour. I’m sick of celebrities being so entitled that they deem themselves above us mere mortals. You’re amazing! ❤
They seem to forget the public created their popularity...once that's gone you better have a nice personality...narcissists always fail with this.
@@kathyolney4083 Totally agree. What’s the saying about being nice to people you meet on your way up because you might meet them again on your way down.
All I’m hearing is how rude and difficult Blake has been from a young age. Who TF does she think she is treating people like they’re sh*t on her shoe?! I was so mad when I saw how she treated Kjersti in that interview. Trying to get a viral moment at Kjersti’s expense, and she’s not the only celeb to act like that. I cannot stand entitled celebs.
Yes..thank you for unmasking Blake Lively for the monster that she is!
Even if Blake apologizes, she won't mean it.
It would just be another of her bad jokes, just kidding !!
I’m sorry
Just kidding
Just like their apology about getting married on a Plantation
Ponying up the 400mil might make me believe her 😂😂😂😂
For sure she won't
One of the theories I've seen floated today that seems really feasible is that Blake/Ryan wanted to take over the rights to the second book. Apparently there is a morality clause in Justin/Colleen's contract over the rights. People are theorizing that they cooked up the SH to kick the morality clause into action so they could then get the rights to the second book.
Now! That is plane nasty if that was Blake's intentions which seems to be the case as her husband wanted to threw money to Justin to take over.
This, honestly seems extremely plausible. Blake/Ryan seem calculated and manipulative with everything…I think she was shocked and scared that actual audio footage existed from the dance scene. I hope that truth prevails in this and in all cases. From the lies to the gaslighting to the petty mean behavior from Blake and Ryan, I hope they (and all who take advantage of actual victims )are exposed.
Wow! That is sad if it's true. I would love to read/hear where you found that information. I could see that as a possibility. I know everyone is putting Ryan under the bus for Blakes actions but also wonder if he has fallen victim to her manipulative ways as well. Just a thought. I'm saying this because I've witnessed some men totally change who they are once they get with a woman, and I don't mean in a good way.
I’ve said this from the beginning … she wanted to direct the sequel and Justin has the rights to it #disgustingbehaviour
@@katkay7 I think him being thrown under the bus is a crisis management tactic. His net worth is in the hundreds of millions. He does not need movies or movie money anymore. By him trying to take all the blame I think they're trying to salvage her career. It removes all her agency as an adult capable of making her own decisions. It doesn't relieve her of the responsibility of making unsubstantiated SH claims and trying to destroy a man's life/career and then trying to gag him when he defended himself. She brags about using Ryan and Taylor as her 'dragons/monsters' to go to bat for her or go after people -- that is straight up Machiavellian and manipulative. She is no wallflower. I think that BL/RR engineered the whole thing together. I do think they conned Colleen Hoover into the idea that they would be better to produce the second book/movie. I believe that's why she deleted her IG because she's afraid of her DMs coming to light. (my opinions/allegedly)
Three major mistakes:
!. Blake Lively
2. Ryan Reynolds
3.Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
And Taylor Swift, BL's other dragon.🙄🤔
@@userfromaz2084 I bet Taylor Swifts handlers are telling her to stay miles away from both Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, they are not good for business 😆🤣

I'd love to see her never get a job again. I wouldn't risk working with her. She's dangerous.
It’s too late to apologize. That ship has sailed.
About 18 months or 8 years ago.
Ryan allegedly had him removed from the agency that he and his wife belong to. His coworker step down from his pod cast...blame and rr destroyed his legacy movie and his career and reputation. These 2 get what they get. Sad cause I'm canadian and I really loved Ryan. Thank god 2 uears ago I was red pulled and we really should be sheep idolizing false gods like people.
Another Canadian here and I agree I thought he was a great guy. Just goes to show that what we as the public don’t see the real persona until something like this happens.
I was on insta and saw that JB has now more followers, over 4 mil :). That's great, hope it will grow even more.
No matter what the outcome, i will never watch BL on anything ever again just for knowing she never apologized to you. Creep.
Same here

Age of Adaline was one of my favorite movies, and now I can never watch it again. She had me fooled.

yep, or Ryan. He disgusts me now
The Body Language Guy Jésus analysed the dance footage and said if Blake was uncomfortable in that footage then she deserves an Oscar because he couldn’t see a single sign of that 😂
Blake was obviously crushed out on Justin and didn't handle his rejection of her flirtatious invitations. She has a long history of falling for, and being involved with, her co-stars, even if they are married.
It was definitely obvious she was uncomfortable. The problem is that he didn’t have an explicit outline of what he wanted as a director. Love scenes are not something that most film makers improv on. That was sloppy.
I love his podcast!
@@nicolem889 What was definitely obvious was that she has poor acting skills, complete lack of emotional depth, and mind blowing inability to take direction from her Director. What we see in the footage is someone who is entirely unprofessional and unsuited to the job she is being handsomely paid for, and instead of taking responsibility for the fact, she is pointing fingers at others for her failures as an actress and her anti-social level inability to engage in healthy interactions with other human beings.
I saw that too and it confirms what we already saw. Now she wants to tell us that what we saw is wrong. Gaslighting everyone! Confirms that she is a bully
I love that you're finding a bunch of bold, morally balanced professionals to support you Kjersti, Much love from Aotearoa New Zealand xo
Thank you so much. I am so happy you like it.
Has anyone noticed in the 9 minute raw footage, at the very very end you can hear Justin say “Blake lively special everyone” right after finishing the most unnecessary take of Blake’s heels..?
Justin has documented him going above and beyond for her and her shenanigans. Team Justin !
Yeah, like "this is h*rrasment everyone! But please focus on my heels!"
That is why they underestimated him
I hate that her lies have been exposed and people still give her the benefit of the doubt that sexual abuse has happened. Why would she give examples as evidence for her claims that do not show sexual improprieties? She thought he wouldn’t be able to disprove her claims for those specific situations. She has not accused him of wrongdoing in other circumstances. People have to stop saying that maybe he acted creepy in a sexual way at other times. It’s not impossible, but it’s soooooo highly improbable that we should believe him when he says he did no such thing.
I so appreciate him pointing out that victims weren't spoken for by her. That's what we wanted. What we ALL NEEDED. Our voices to be heard. Not a campaign for you to get more money by selling beauty products, non alcoholic drinks, etc. And like he said, that's why it's so much easier to side with Justin because for the past 10 years, that's what he's been doing and what he did during the entire promotion of the film.
You missed the alcoholic drinks, she has Betty Booze which are alcoholic and Betty Buzz which are non-alcoholic.
Which is so distasteful - naming your alcohol company after (or the same name as) not just an important, but the most important figure in reducing the stigma associated with alcoholism due to her public disclosure of her own struggles with addiction and her subsequent founding of the Betty Ford Center, which significantly increased awareness, accessibility to treatment for alcohol abuse, particularly among women. A fact that may be lost on a lot of Americans but the fact that there is no other woman who has done more than the former first lady and had more of an impact re alcoholism (this cannot be understated) in history and there are literally a million other names that could’ve been chosen I can’t help but think this wasn’t just a clever marketing ploy and not just a coincidence, regardless of whether it’s the name of her daughter or not, there’s no way a professional marketing team worth their muster would not have caught that. Disgraceful.
@amandamandamands I was hoping the "etc." would cover all the other distasteful promotions like betty buzz. 🫶
@@annascott3542 I don't know if it is better or worse, Betty is the name of her youngest daughter. She has said that it is named after her father's mother and sister as she wanted to honour her father seeing as his greatest success was after he had changed his last name to match her mother.
I think if Blake had hired you as a model for her Blake Brown hair care line, she would have had some sales. Your hair looks great 😊
Kjersti's hair always looks so gorgeous❤
I was thinking throughout the video how amazing Kjersti's hair looks.
Seriously I love her hair.
I thought the same kjersti’s hair looks lovely and healthy the colours on point . Blake’s hair I’m sorry to say looks like a bundle dry twigs . It doesn’t look particularly healthy or glossy or in great condition that you’d want to buy her hair products .
@karenmcguinness2177 you nailed it
Hang in there, Kjersti!! Thank you for keeping us all in the loop
I really appreciate the support 💗
Ulyses was a pleasure to hear! He was well rounded, concrete, objective and kind! I’m glad you made an interview with him!
💯
100% Have followed him based off of this interview. Love his chilled-out, no-BS vibe.
Please keep going with these fascinating interviews. It's crazy that an actress who should have been promoting her film tried to humiliate you. I was shocked watching that interview. With her mean girl interviews, idiotic alcohol promotions for a DV movie as well as the "wear your florals" and then using the star power of herself and RR to take away the movie and tarnish Justin's name, I firmly believe that she is on the verge of being labeled box office poison. This is an international story starring 2 massive egos and is a very appropriate story to follow. They should save themselves and settle, but likely won't.
I believe the reason Blake is doubling down is to save her marriage, not just her reputation. As usual, she caught feelings for her co-star, which she has a track record of doing (it's how she met Ryan in the first place), and when she was spurned and Ryan caught on, she made up this story to defend her actions. So she may take this all the way to the courtroom, which will be her undoing. This is WAY better than a soap opera!
I agree with you 100%!! Every word.😊
Tele Novella!
I just want the trial televised! I enjoyed the Depp vs Turd!😂
I am not convinced she had feelings but rather a realisation that perhaps her marriage is not all its cracked out to be and perhaps she made comments about how Justin is about his wife etc and that made RR jealous and that is why he started getting involved on set just my opinion.
@@HandsomeMalcolmcats LOL. Who would you hire to do the voice-over narration? I'm thinking Dave Neal.
"Her PR team is trying to gaslight the public".Exactly what I was thinking.
I have cancelled both of them and there is nothing they could do to change my mind.
Yep
Point 1 is *so true!* Contrast Blake with Anne Hathaway. Anne immediately apologized to Kjersti, Kjersti told the public about the kind apology, the public went, “Oh, ok. Good.” And everyone stopped talking about Anne Hathaway and moved on without it causing any lasting damage to her reputation!
I’m amazed at how bad Blake’s team has handled everything since day one.
I think her team might be reasonable people and proper professionals that know what to do and suggested her to apologise and all that stuff but the narcissist couple would not listen. NPD is playing here in full.
Very interesting to hear Ulyses. I love how you ask and then let your guests take their time to answer your question.
We are not used to this nice and respectful behavior anymore. Thanks, you both❤
Still mind blowing that she decided to throw gasoline on a fire instead of simply addressing an issue (issues) and apologizing.
A regret that she will deal with for the rest of her life. Her constant companion now will be KARMA

Blake's major problem is not taking the movie plot seriously and then claiming it happened to her. It comes across ingenious and egotistical. When we weigh both sides it's just the natural conclusion we come to.
It's also odd that she was okay multiple times saying she won't come back unless certain demands are met, why not add the sa accusations to those demands
People are not stupid. They see the pedestal, they sit on! We also see people w Heart, like Justin and Kjersti❤ Team Justin!
Kjersti is fighting the good fight . Bringing these experts is reinforcing to the public that they are completely right in getting behind Justin. Blake (and Ryan) are the ones gaslighting the public .
♥️ Kjersti such a great idea to interview a crisis manager, Ulyses Osuna. So interesting to hear Ulyses’s opinion and your discussion, thank you for sharing this conversation with us.
Thank you so much!! He is awesome!!
Why ask why is Blake's team "allowing" her to do all this? It's so obvious she is over riding them too! She is not going to let anyone tell her what to do because she always thinks she is right. Over anyone, Justin, PR experts etc. Blake bulldozed her way through everyone to do what she wants plain and simple. She is not going to listen to some PR team.
Good point
🎯
Or her high-priced attorneys, obviously.
She and Ryan are Jessie Smollett but with a lot of money. Those lies could have been devastating to Justin. They could have just left him alone, but no. Their heads are so big. They wanted to demonstrate their power (or their brains in lying).
There is no turning that around. The only way to put out the fire is to pay a large sum of money, and publicly apologize for being knowingly false because of their mental health issues and bad upbringing.
Brings to mind the Juicy meme “what yall lying about today?” Lol😂😂
Imagine if there was no audio, just the silent scene? Justin would have been toast. She could make up any dialogue.
They could have written their own films! No need to do this.
@@veronicaleon8075 I am 100% certain Blake and Ryan sat down and reviewed the dallies to find a scene where they believed there wasn't any audio so they could spin the lie of SH.
@@Andrea-nom Both are very like on talent. But they could have hired someone!
Apologizing for rudeness is easy. Living down reputation for rudeness is hard.
I think Justin must make the sequel with different actors since we didnt get to see his cut of the movie. All his supporters now will watch it and it will be successful. I hope Justin sees this comment. We still want to watch his cut of the movie
Please sign the petition that a person called Marjorie K. started on January 1st
#JusticeforJustin
There is a petition calling for the release of the director's cut
I will not watch this cut because it’s got such bad karma with BL and RR all over it. Justin couldn’t even be at his own premier. If Justin redid it with a new cast I’d watch it along with the sequel. He deserves to walk the red carpet and be proud of his hard work.
@@leanne6821You are right. I first watched the movie back in Aug 2024 and really really liked it. I didn’t know there was drama until after I watched it.
Then I watched it again this past weekend to see if I can spot her dodging him and it was cringe. I realized I didn’t enjoy it bc of her. Her acting is not great as well.
So why did I love the movie the first time around? The message. It was powerful.
The second time around, you are right, bc of her and what we now know has happened this movie is ruined. I suspect if people watch it now they will only concentrate on her ugliness.
Baldoni was right in thinking he needed to make sure positive press went out about her when the movie just came out. Now I know this to be true about all movies: make sure everyone gets along and for those that don’t severe money cuts if they leak any nasty things about the crew. Too much money at stake for movies to fail over loose lips.
It sucks because I really don't like watching a sequel with different actors, but I would support it. Just wish they would figure it out.
It’s not a sense of humor, she uses jokes to bully others. She has no sensitivity towards others feelings.
Her "jokes" are in fact insults.
I am SO glad you got @Ulyses on your show! I saw his RUclips vid 2 wks ago. Best analysis IMO! I learned: Acknowledge, Reflect, Transform, Redirect! I took notes haha! Bring him back pls
Thank you!!! That’s so generous of you! I am so happy he came on as well. He makes some excellent points.
I think Justin’s lawyer is awesome!
Bryan Freedman. Excited for the website with more evidence coming soon.
Not only had she not read the book but obviously never read the script. If she felt uncomfortable about the script they could have found a grownup to play that part.
Narcissists never apologize. And if they do, it is just manipulation and not sincere. Like when she dragged princess Catherine online, she offered a pathetic non apology that didn't even mention Catherine. She will never back down.
EGO.
Did she drag her? I only saw the riffing or whatever is called .. making a joke of the photo shop fail. Blake is obviously a bad person but it's annoying when I read over exaggeration of events. There are way worse things this woman has done.. the Kate thing wasn't even personal towards Kate.. it's the one thing she did that actually was a "joke".
That's why making everything public is important because they can't lie and getting the money out of them helps too.
100% true that she should have called Kjersti right away and apologized! Their lack of humility is ruining Blake and Ryan. The power and fame has completely gone to their heads and people are seeing through it. People are getting tired of celebrity culture and want transparency, honesty and relatability.
Correct.
And politeness?
Both her and Parker Posey should have apologized.
She caught feelings, and he didn't. Now she's hurt and mad.
I think this too.
Kjersti, why is no one talking about how sexualized Ryan’s humor is? I can’t imagine that no employee during the making of DP movies never felt uncomfortable.
Well, his press junket with his mother, Hugh Jackman and Brandon S was highly “secsualised” and was absolutely awful and cringe to watch - about the raging jealous husband to in-love with her Co-star. I felt violated after watching it and I find it amazing that he does and gets away with stuff like that all the time. JB has done absolutely nothing of the sort and now he’s facing these allegations. Projection is all I see from those two sociopathic narcissists (also known as) BL and RR.
Keep doing what you’re doing and being the voice of truth and reason. 👏🏼😊❤️
Thank you so much
@@Flaawsometalk Next, how about a Hollywood intimacy coordinator to describe her job. That would be interesting.
I for one will never watch any of Blake or Ryan's movies ever again
Same here
I don't think the gag order has been approved; they simply requested it.
You are completely right, the gag order hasn’t been approved. I still feel like she is taking it too far after she was the one that started the press war. A while back I still had hope she would change her antics but the more and more I see and read, the more I feel like these guys do not deserve their fame, money and reputations.
Don’t mess with the first amendment 🇺🇸
The best thing that came out of this is that we got you! I thoroughly enjoy your show Kjersti! 😉💐
Aww, that makes me happy to hear! 😊
Narcissist never apologize they never back down!!! JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN!!
NYT also needs to be held accountable
YES.
OMG yes!
💯
Held accountable to Kjersti as well!
DON'T excuse her behavior as "humor" or joking. That is what abusers and bullies do all around the world. "I was only joking" is said by 100% of all bullies.
SNL & all late night comedians have been weaponized. Their Satanic cruelty has gone unchecked for far too long.
Your coverage is excellent. Quite a sad situation for Justin and his family.
I hate that they were served while they were EVACUATING?!
So refreshing to see two intelligent people discuss an issue in depth. The idea that two things can be true at the same time is a concept we need to consider more often before forming opinions. Thanks for this!
I just have to tell you how much I appreciate you Kjersti. As someone who also does interviews with people in the entertainment industry... sometimes it becomes disheartening and soul-sucking. And your coverage isn't just fascinating, you also show such bravery and integrity in how you cover these topics. Keep doing what you are doing ❤
Agreed. Complete professional.
It's all about the rights to the follow up movie....so transparent
Masonic humiliation ritual.
I don't like the comment that Justin's career is tanking. We all need to see how this shakes out. From what I see so far, Blake has some truth issues....I pray that Justin's career will survive this terrible situation.
I've said this so many times in life.... no celebrity is bigger than the public. We can boycott that person if they are disrespectful and rude. Celebrities forget who pays their paycheck. It's the people who go to the movies and support them so if someone isn't worthy of our hard earned time and money to support their fame, then they will find out the hard way.
So nice to hear from and get to know Ulyses Osuna - such a cool calm logical head on his shoulders. Ulyses for President. Very much enjoyed this intelligent conversation. Thanks Kjersti - you have a great channel!!!
I`d like him as our Prime Minister now too!!
Let's just call the sequel " IT ENDED WITH HER" 🙄
What does the slow dance scene convey:
1) She was out of character a lot
2) She was trying to direct the director
3) She was annoyed not getting her way
4) She enjoyed some moments for sure
5) She is awkward at times
All this being said we cannot conclusively say this is an example of sexual harassment as they were supposed to be in character. The scene was described as them dancing in a bar being in a world of their own. The word romantic was not used but implied. I did hear Justin say he would be leaning in almost kissing her lips. It was like a coy cat mouse game going on. Just because Blake alleges that there was no plan and it was all improvised does not mean that is entirely true, as Justin was explaining as they were filming. We saw that with our own eyes. She was agreeable. If at any time she was truly uncomfortable or wanted to tap out she had that autonomy. Even though Justin was her “boss” and the “director” as her lawyers pointed out, it was not the typical subordinate and insubordinate dynamic power play at work here. We all know that now. Blake was inserting her say in EVERY aspect of the process and Justin would have respected her boundaries if she laid them out. She is just as culpable to not discuss the scene beforehand if there were any misunderstanding. At least by the second take she could have paused not feeling comfortable. If anything this is entrapment and like a bait and switch. Literally at one point after he rubs his thumb on her bottom lip she tilts her head positioning her mouth towards him embracing for a kiss, not him….her! Using a scene believed to have no sound to paint an entirely different picture of what was happening is extremely manipulative.
We saw and HEARD what happened.
She is insecure in her relationship with her husband you hear it when he says they are cute she is like we are more than cute(defensive). That is a response by someone who wants validation that her relationship is perfect so her doubt can be put aside. If you are confident in your relationship you don't get defensive.
I’m a woman, and a survivor of DV and SA at the hands of my father during my childhood. I STRONGLY disagree that women should believe women. Every person (female or male) shouldn’t automatically be believed simply bc they r the same gender. Every person’s complaints should be investigated and found if there is merit or not based on the FACTS of the situation. Believing someone simply bc they share a gender is wrong, and discourages critical thinking which is imperative to have in today’s landscape.
Very interesting!!! Thank you Kjersti! I really wish you could interview Justin one day!
WHAT? "She's too caught up in it" NO, she's too narcissistic to back down!
Yup.
The gag order was not "PLACED", it was requested. Big difference.
Yes! You are right. Thanks for the correction.
I think it is telling that Blake own siblings didn't speak up in her defence . And with Candace Owen taking direct aim at Ryan , Ryan would be too busy to save his own career and reputation . Blake is doomed either way . The best possible outcome for the toxic couple is Ryan gets away with minimum damage though I wouldn't bet on it .
Or he divorces her
At least one of her sisters and a brother in law did speak up in Dec.
I think they are headed for divorce either way. Both are blaming each other for this very public downfall.
What Blake and Ryan need to do is ask for a settlement and Justin agree under the condition they write a letter of apology to Justin and share it publicly.
Justin needs a very loud and public apology from Blake and Ryan, Jennie Slate, the other guy in the movie, the author, Sony, Talyor Swift, and WME at a minimum and a huge fat check.
Nope, I hope that it goes to trial and the evidence humiliates them. Then, he gets the 400 mil. An apology won't cut it anymore. It's personal
The trouble with that is in a letter, the media doesn’t have to really cover it and it could be swept under the rug. just like his last lawsuit that they’re trying to bring up now, the lawyer is going back to say, well it was settled out of court and that doesn’t mean he paid, it means it was dismissed because it was meritless and the original movie 5 feet apart was based on a book not a stolen screenplay and in fact, he became friends with the guy that was suing him and even put him in a documentary. all of that gets watered down and not reported on so it’ll be really important to clear his name publicly LOUDLY in a really big way with a lot of money for people to know, he is absolved of this heinous crime.
FYI… Justin Baldoni was an executive producer on a recent film where Scarlett Johansson is the director. Wayfair Studios (sp?) Also helped finance the movie - “Eleanor the Great.”
I’m invested in this whole ordeal….and I’m invested hearing Kjersti bringing the latest update. She is hitting all the right talking points about the case. The lady goes far and beyond the headlines. She does the psychology of it all and I love that!
Yes! Very good points. She can’t apologize for her interviews, do we can’t trust what she says now about Baldoni.
Love your channel.. Kjersti you are always so kind in interviews ..
Thank you so much!! I am so happy you enjoy it.
First, they claim that the messages and footage corroborate everything in BL's lawsuit. But if that's the case and it benefits them, why the sudden request for a gag order?
woah, I never thought of that! And that video is supposed to be their most potent piece of evidence
Because they are desperate.
Narcissistic gaslighting
Ulyses is really intelligent and really hit the nail on the head. I really like how he thinks and 100% agree with his analysis
He is spot on. The problem for her and RR, but especially her, is this has gone on for too long and has gotten so bad for them, that no one would believe an apology at this point. Most would just see it as something they felt they absolutely had to do to mitigate further damage to their reputation. It would be nearly impossible to successfully sell sincerity, especially now. It would never happen anyway. Not in them.
Thanks for all you do, Kjersti! I will keep following you and this fascinating story!
Thank you so much. That’s so generous of you. I truly appreciate your support 💗💗💗💗
We are ALL team Flaa !
We ALL stand with you.
Much Love 💕
💗💗
Your work is open, honest, kind and wise. Thank you! 💜
💯 ❤️
When Blake first filed her lawsuit, I felt I could not be Team Justin; the accusations sounded horrible. But after I saw the actual video, I was struck by the discrepancies between what Blake said versus what actually happened. I have to concede: Justin looks innocent. The interpretation most charitable toward Blake is that she had a paranoid misinterpretation of what Justin said and did.
Blake uses “humor” to say mean things. I think it’s a pretty common technique for some people.
All people in Hollyweird. ALL.
Like her husband
Yes, please have Mr. Osuna on again. He gives a measured, calm and logical face to crisis management as opposed to all those recent PR texts and emails that are now immortalized (the internet is forever) in several court cases. Mr. Osuna is what I would expect and want from a crisis manager. Maybe also have a psychologist on, because I continue to not understand how no one stopped Blake Lively (and Ryan Reynolds) from marching so confidently into a highly dangerous jungle. If Lively's reps have proof, they either should use that evidence asap in discovery (pre-trial) or in an arbitration making a settlement and papering the room with NDA's.
Excellent guest and program today. Please have him back again. The information and analysis offered not only great insights into the Baldoni/Blake conflict but lessons everyone can learn from.
* When someone shows you they truly are, proving they are not credible believe it.
*Be prepared for the consequences of your behaviors/actions and for people to call you out.
* Do not gaslight people, denying the obvious and assuming others are stupid. The camera never lies.
