This Lively lawsuit is WEIRD - Error Code 422

WEBVTT

00:00:00.699 --> 00:00:04.179
Yeah, actually, this isn't me. This is AI. So

00:00:04.179 --> 00:00:06.820
I'm not sure what I put in here. Let's see. No,

00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:12.560
I'm just kidding. OK, so Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.000
wife, if you're not familiar or was her name

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.239
like female Deadpool, Mrs. Lady, Lady Deadpool,

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.579
Lady Deadpool, Lady Deadpool. So she she did

00:00:25.579 --> 00:00:29.019
a movie entitled it ends with us. I did not watch

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:31.359
it because it seemed like a very sad depressing

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.039
movie about domestic violence. However, I recently

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.840
found out that there's a lot of on set drama

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.799
to kind of unpack about this, which is kind of

00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.299
insane. And now lawsuits and now lawsuits, lawsuits

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:53.079
from both sides. It's really kind of crazy. So

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.600
I'm going to try to like walk us through a little

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.979
bit of what we currently know. So at the very

00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:06.019
beginning, Blake filed a complaint with the California

00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:11.180
Civil Rights Department claiming that her costar

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:15.099
invaded her privacy entering her makeup trailer

00:01:15.099 --> 00:01:19.840
uninvited while she was undressed. He also supposedly

00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:24.230
pressured her into trying to lose weight like

00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:26.870
she had just had a baby. Yeah, she just had a

00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:29.290
baby. He evidently was trying to make her like

00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:34.329
lose weight. I don't really know. This is really

00:01:34.329 --> 00:01:39.030
kind of interesting. Her co -star. I do not know

00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:42.269
how to pronounce his name. Baldoni. Yeah, Justin

00:01:42.269 --> 00:01:48.670
Baldoni. He was supposed he was dropped by his

00:01:48.670 --> 00:01:53.750
tallied. talent agency. Um, and then also vital

00:01:53.750 --> 00:01:57.349
voices, a nonprofit that focuses on empowering

00:01:57.349 --> 00:02:02.250
women, um, rescinded an award it gave to him

00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:06.790
who, um, has made a career expressing his support

00:02:06.790 --> 00:02:09.409
of women's stories and co -hosted a podcast.

00:02:09.710 --> 00:02:11.949
Uh, we're not going to kind of get into that,

00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:15.460
but supposedly he had a podcast. He kind of wanted

00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:19.240
to kind of promote women and their stories. He

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.240
won an award on it. And then they took that award

00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:27.620
back because of these allegations. And then it

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.560
just like keeps piling on. Then he was sued by

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.659
his ex publicist over an alleged conspiracy to

00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:42.680
discredit her and still her clients. Right. I

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.439
don't really know. Then Blake formally filed

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.460
a lawsuit in New York federal court against him.

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.240
Let's see here. Then he filed a libel lawsuit

00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.659
against the New York Times for their reporting

00:03:00.659 --> 00:03:04.979
on the story. Yeah, he filed a 250 million dollar

00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:09.719
lawsuit against the New York Times. And then

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.639
that's when he started fighting back. He stated

00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:18.340
he was going to sue Blake into oblivion and kind

00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:23.840
of accused her of multiple allegations. I don't

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.939
know long story short and 2026 March 9th. We're

00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:30.599
actually going to see a trial day. This is going

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.719
to be very interesting. I think basically this

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.120
is a very classic tale of a woman kind of speaks

00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.710
out of sexual harassment and then like the male

00:03:41.710 --> 00:03:45.849
starts kind of firing back. But my question is,

00:03:46.069 --> 00:03:48.789
is this going to be like the new? I know it's

00:03:48.789 --> 00:03:51.169
not going to be as big because her costar is

00:03:51.169 --> 00:03:53.210
not really that well known, but is this going

00:03:53.210 --> 00:03:56.370
to be like the next Amber Heard, Johnny Depp

00:03:56.370 --> 00:03:59.409
case? No, because it's not like they were married,

00:03:59.729 --> 00:04:01.889
right? Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were married

00:04:01.889 --> 00:04:07.500
and that one was who? So the reason I had tagged

00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:09.659
this story a while ago and we didn't do it on

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.520
the show because I wasn't sure about this story

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.100
and the reason that I wasn't sure about the story

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:20.120
was because The the drama had started right before

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.560
the movie came out Was that when they were doing

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.019
press tours and stuff that the press started

00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:27.920
getting word that something weird was happening

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:33.350
based on the based on what was going on with

00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:36.009
the It Ends With Us. And the rumors that were

00:04:36.009 --> 00:04:37.949
coming out at the time was that Ryan Reynolds

00:04:37.949 --> 00:04:40.730
and Blake Lively, because Justin Baldoni directed

00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:42.790
this as well. Right. He wasn't just in it. He

00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:45.550
directed the film was that they had basically

00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:49.389
taken over post -production and shut him out.

00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:54.629
Right. And that there was a whole big thing with

00:04:54.629 --> 00:04:57.850
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively on one side and.

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.319
And and and and just about Tony on the other.

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.139
So this is before all the other stuff, you know,

00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:15.480
came out. I don't know. And I didn't know what

00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.439
to make of it at the time. Right. And then obviously

00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.240
all the damn lawsuits started getting filed first

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.540
by Blake Lively and then by him. So do I think

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.000
this is another Johnny Depp, Amber Heard situation?

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:35.120
No. What I. I'll be honest, I've read both criminal.

00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:38.399
I've read both civil complaints. Oh, wow. To

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.480
include the text messages that were released

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:47.120
and stuff like that. I. You want my honest opinion?

00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.720
A hundred percent. I think this is two shitty

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.879
people. Who were doing shitty things to one another.

00:05:55.409 --> 00:05:57.589
Right. My wife knows this like there's a there's

00:05:57.589 --> 00:05:59.649
a whole genre of TV shows that I call rich people

00:05:59.649 --> 00:06:03.269
doing shitty things to each other right Okay,

00:06:03.769 --> 00:06:07.750
like and that's like is like Succession and stuff

00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:09.790
like that yellow stone. I'm like look rich people

00:06:09.790 --> 00:06:12.350
doing shitty things to each other. Woohoo. Like

00:06:12.350 --> 00:06:16.629
I'm sorry. I just I You're doing shitty things

00:06:16.629 --> 00:06:20.029
to each other. Yeah, I love Ryan Reynolds movies

00:06:20.819 --> 00:06:23.860
Do but there is a portion of Ryan Reynolds that

00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:26.980
reminds me of people that I have known in real

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:31.399
life when I see interviews with him and it's

00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.620
I don't wanna say it's It sets off the like the

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.319
hairs on the back of my neck where I'm like,

00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:41.180
I know people like you right? Yeah, you're extremely

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:44.860
charismatic Everybody wants to like you but there

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:48.000
is something just under the surface. That's kind

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:56.829
of fucked up I so I don't know what to make of

00:06:56.829 --> 00:07:01.790
this lawsuit on either side. And so, again, my

00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:05.649
honest opinion, it's two rich, shitty people

00:07:05.649 --> 00:07:09.370
doing rich, shitty things to one another. Right.

00:07:14.509 --> 00:07:17.649
And I, I mean, I would say that was also Johnny

00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:20.709
Depp and Amber Heard. Uh, my takeaway from it

00:07:20.709 --> 00:07:25.370
was they were both rich people doing shitty things

00:07:25.370 --> 00:07:27.870
to each other. And it got kind of out of hand.

00:07:28.129 --> 00:07:34.189
Uh, yes, they're not married. Um, but I don't

00:07:34.189 --> 00:07:39.670
know. This is, um, this is interesting. It's,

00:07:39.970 --> 00:07:42.490
I think it's going to be interesting to see.

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:47.620
once it gets to court. Yes. But I won't be surprised

00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:55.279
if this goes away. I will not be. Shocked. Right.

00:07:56.899 --> 00:08:01.500
If all of a sudden both cases are dropped and

00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:07.279
there is a quiet settlement. With nothing disclosed.

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:13.860
Right. Yeah, like. If that story was to cut,

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.379
if deadline was to come out tomorrow and be like,

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.180
both both cases have been settled out of court

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:30.360
with terms undisclosed. I. I won't I won't be

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.779
shocked, like I will not be surprised, right?

00:08:34.779 --> 00:08:42.159
This just feels ugly and messy. Yeah. Why did

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.019
you clock this story for the rundown today? I

00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:45.700
guess that's what I'm curious about. Like, what

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:50.340
what grabbed you about this? Yeah. First of all,

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:54.159
I just want to like shout out. So, Logan, love

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.320
you, too. She said, hey, guys, love your insights.

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:06.360
Let's see here. So Canada Dry 86 stated that

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.440
she never so she she said that she read the book,

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:14.000
but she never saw the movie. She's not a great

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:20.720
person. One. Evidently, she romanticizes the

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.360
romanticizes abuse and it's icky to her son was

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.700
accused of sexual harassment. And I think she's

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:28.539
talking about the author of the book that the

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:31.519
movie was based on. Author of the book. Yeah.

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:35.820
Very interesting there. It's see, that's like,

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.480
I don't know. That's so one to answer your question,

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.679
Alex. One. I recently just heard about it for

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.580
the first time and I think it was the actually

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:48.720
setting of the court. I don't know the date of

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.240
the court case next year that I actually heard

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.980
about it. I was like, wait, what is this? And

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:58.120
I started looking into it and it was the interesting

00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:06.759
thing of a movie about domestic abuse has a sexual

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:11.629
harassment lawsuit. slash defamation lawsuit.

00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:16.049
And then now, I guess, you know, Canada Dry 86

00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:18.929
is pointing out that the author tried to sweep

00:10:18.929 --> 00:10:24.090
up sexual harassment under the rug. This whole

00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:26.649
story is just like really interesting how a movie

00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:31.250
could go from, hey, this is a movie about. We're

00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:32.909
trying to. Yeah, we're trying to like we're trying

00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:35.370
to highlight domestic abuse and things and make

00:10:35.370 --> 00:10:39.620
it better. Yeah. But then it like. Spawns sexual

00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:45.120
abuse. Oh, God. I don't know. It's it's very.

00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:51.919
Ironic, I guess, in a very sad way. It's it really

00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.500
is fucking strange. It's really, really strange.

00:10:57.779 --> 00:11:00.740
Yeah, we'll keep an eye on the story if you guys

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:03.059
like this story. Leave it down in the comments.

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:04.679
Tell us if you want us to keep talking about

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.720
about topics like this again. I'd clock this

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:12.019
one a while ago. But again, it's this one's so

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:16.000
weird and messy. And it's like, well, I release

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.220
these text messages. Well, I release these ones.

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.940
And it's like, it's funny how each of you is

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:25.019
releasing different sets of messages. That each

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:27.399
of you have, but the other one didn't release

00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:31.250
the same one like. Something about this is clocking

00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:33.429
weird to me. Anyway, let us know what you think

00:11:33.429 --> 00:11:36.909
down in the comments below about this whole situation

00:11:36.909 --> 00:11:38.809
Yeah
