Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda gem.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nation from The Daily Os with the news that's fitzprint. M.
Gillespie is here.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Hello, Hello, can you believe we're talking about it ends
with us again?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I thought this was done.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I like to call it it never ever, ever, ever,
ever ends with us. Taylor Swift has been dragged into
this drama. In case you need a quick REFRESHM yes, please,
it ends with us. This is the movie that came
out last year, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. He
also directed it. It's based on this book by Colleen Hoover,
and it follows this tumultuous DV relationship. It's actually a
(00:36):
pretty good movie, but unfortunately no one's talking about that.
We're talking about this legal dispute. So in December twenty
twenty four, Blake Lively filed this complaint, a civil complaint
suing co star Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a
hostile work environment. Some awful stuff came out at the
time about allegations about his behavior on set, but then
(00:57):
he countersued in January filed a four hundred million dollar
lawsuit against Blake Lively, but not only her, also her husband,
Ryan Reynolds. They're publicist accusing them of civil extortion, defamation,
invasion of privacy, and it's been this whole he said,
she said, fallout. No one's really come out looking any better.
No one's coming out of this unscathed. But Taylor Swift's
(01:20):
involvement had always been kind of rumored. She's a good
friend of Blake Lively, she's best he's with Blake Lively.
She's the godmother of the three daughters of Blake Lively
and Ryan Reynolds. She's not a defendant in the lawsuit,
but she is being called on by Justin Baldoni's team
to appear as a witness. So the rumors are that
there was this famous rewrite of a rooftop scene. The
(01:42):
rooftop scene in the movie is when the Blake Lively
and Justin Baldoni characters first meet, and it's part of
all the legal jargon matter, whole Fallout thing, because Justin
Baldoni alleges that Blake Lively rewrote the whole thing unfairly,
and that Taylor Swift was involved in the rewrite, that
she was present at a meeting at her apartment that
were all there and Justin Baldoni felt pressured because she's
(02:03):
a big famous star. She was at home and so
he thought, oh, okay, I have to say yes to
all of these rewrites. Blake Lively says that never happened
to Taylor Swift wasn't in the room. She arrived at
the apartment as Justin Baldoni was leaving. There's also allegations
that Taylor Swift might have been involved in the casting
of the film, that she helped the girl who plays
the young Blake Lively in the movie, that she helped
her get the part.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So is this part of the allegation is that she
over Justin Baldoni as the producer as the director of
the film is saying that Blake Lively overstepped the mark
of just being an actress in it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, and that she essentially kind of used her power
and her influence to change the direction of the film
and that that wasn't what she was hired to do.
She was an actress, not a director on the movie.
Taylor Swift isn't being accused of anything. She's just being
called on to come and give her version of events
about what went down. But we've got some two blistering
(02:54):
statements over the weekend from both Blake Lively's team and
Taylor Swift's team. The Swift Statements statement says that Taylor
Swift never set foot on the film set of this movie.
She was not involved in any casting or creative decisions.
She didn't score the film, she didn't see an edit
or make any notes. She didn't even see it until
weeks after its public release, as she was traveling around
(03:16):
the globe during twenty twenty three and twenty four headlining
the biggest tour in history.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Good alibi, fair enough, She's got a good alibi.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Blake Lively's team have said that Justin Baldoni continues to
turn a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into entertainment
for the tabloids, going as far as suggesting that they
sell tickets to a concert venue to witness this depositions Swift,
a woman who's given a voice to millions all over
the world. This is a very serious legal matter, not
(03:46):
a circus. So both of those statements have this theme
that you know, Justin Baldoni and his lawyers are trying
to just peddle this as a big publicity stunt, but
that it's much more serious than that, that there's a
sexual harassment case at the center of all of this
that should see the light of day, and that this
is all a big, major distraction in this movie.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Has it become more and more successful because of the
controversy around it, because for me, I don't actually want
to see it because of this.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I'm the same I wouldn't be able to see it
without hearing all of this in my head.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's really unfortunate because you can't watch it without analyzing
the interactions between the two. And it has to be said,
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in this movie, I think
they have incredible chemistry.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Because I couldn't watch that because that's not the truth.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, it's distracting because you think, wow, you guys are
pretty good actors, because we know you absolutely hate each
other's guts, but like in this movie, you do seem
quite into each other, so that is convincing. It's a
shame because you know, at the end of the day,
the movie has this really powerful message about coosive control
and domestic violence and these relationships and how a vulnerable
person can seem to have it all on the outside,
(04:51):
but you know behind closed doors, there's this messed up
stuff happening. But that's you know, completely gone out of
the conversation because we have this big Hollywood circus and
no one is innocent here, I think, is my takeaway.
I think everyone's done shady stuff. I don't think there
are people that necessarily have the best intentions.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Maybe we just canceled. They should both cancel each other out.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, well that's what they're trying to do. It feels
like they're going to go until there's nothing left. But
unfortunately it never ends with us because the trial is
scheduled to commence in March twenty twenty six. Oh so
we'll probably be talking about it again.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
At least, you know, with Amanda and myself, you get
what you see.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It's you get what you see.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You get what you see and you hear. It's an
enduring friendship.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
My favorite thing about radio is you get what you see.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No one sees anything, which is why it's so incredible.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Exactly sake you En and Lesbie from The Daily Odds
