Also, did you guys see that info about Colleen Hoover?? So Justin has the rights to the books, and apparently Ryan kept trying to buy them from him, but he refused. In some papers that many people have found, it's shown that the only way Justin could "lose" the rights to the books is if he was accused of something bad...something like SA. So that's definitely something interesting to look into and bring up. There's also the interview with Blake and Colleen that shows Blake saying if Colleen has the rights to the books, she'd follow her anywhere. Maybe this is part of a motive to smear Justin and get the books back.
I think the reason not reading the book was relavent to be added in Justins case was to highlight that Blake was calling out "unscripted" moments in scenes that Justin was doing. Blake was claiming these were due to him trying to SH her, but Justins team are trying to say that if she'd read the book she would know he was trying to imitate book scenes more accurately.
I agree. Her taking over makes even less sense because she didn't read the book. But it was obvious she didn't understand the movies message based on how she promoted the movie. I thought it was a romantic movie untill all this came up and I saw Justins interviews. So strange. Also I'm not sure she understood what she signed up for and that made her uncomfortable when they started filming. If she had read the book she would probably understand the scenes and her co-star/producers ideas. But she chose to not prepare that way wich is strange with a topic like DV. Like you know there will be uncomfortable scenes to shoot so you prepare. You read the book, make notes and meet with the intimacy coordinator.
But wouldn’t the script have all scenes included? I’m not defending Blake for not reading the book, I think it’s ridiculous, but I don’t understand how her not reading the book would affect what Justin ended up putting in the script. A script usually has basic guidelines for what the characters are doing in the scene, so if he’s adding stuff that wasn’t in the script while the cameras are rolling would that not be an issue regardless of whether or not she read the book in the first place? Does what I’m saying make sense? If Justin was only directing he would be behind the camera and be able to verbally give Blake instructions to direct her for the vision he had but since he’s also acting as the love interest he seems to have chosen to improvise in the moment (which very well could have been him improvising based on what was in the book) which unless Blake was told beforehand that they were going to improvise, I would personally see that as potentially overstepping professional boundaries. I wish I knew more about how scripts are developed and when an actor signs on to do a film if they are signing on having read the entire script. If Blake read the whole script before signing on to do the film then my next question is did Justin include all the necessary scene info in the script (ie not leaving out how intimate they are expected to be acting in certain scenes), if yes then Blake has no reason to be surprised by what he’s doing in their scenes together.
Yes!!!!!! This was exactly what I was thinking!!! It’s actually a very important and critical comment! She was basically “tone def” !! If you don’t read the book then you can’t truly grasp the undertone of each scene!
that doesn’t matter. if physical contact isn’t explicitly stated in the script there needs to be verbal consent to it. whether or not an intimacy coordinator is present
The voice memo was in response to a novel she texted him 12 minutes earlier at 1:48am. We have to keep in mind that acting is not a normal workplace environment. The lines are always going to be inherently muddled. Most of us aren’t making out with our coworkers and pretending to have sex with them as part of our job description.
Right?! This voice memo made me more on his side. I also don't think the boob comment was weird... like what?! Why is that weird? She was breast feeding.
@@degaslover not to mention the fact that not long ago she was on a radio station and said that she gave her son a cake of her boobs for his first birthday. Seems to me she’s comfortable talking about her boobs.
@@degaslover I agree. Especially since she was up late texting him + just had a baby = breastfeeding. Blake is one of those women who acts like she’s a super mom for doing normal mom things, so he’s going overboard in praising her to keep the peace because that’s her thing-being praised. He literally mentioned both his wife and Ryan. And his voice was exactly the same as when he voice texted his production team about her cut of the film + his voice memo about being in the basement. This is just who he is.
@@degaslovereither breastfeeding is sexual and should not be done in public and men should never speak ofnit it *or* its not sexual and what is the problem with a man bringing it up? People need to pick a fking lane on this. I feel like there a huge number of people who claim its not sexual are also now calling him creepy for mentioning it.
The reason Justin Baldoni mentions she didnt read the book is VERY important. The "kissing the neck" or breathing near her neck (outlined in blakes complaint- the slow dance scene) is where Blake is trying to have her SH moment. If she read the book she'd know that Justins character constantly kisses Blakes character on the neck area as her tattoo is there (lily blooms tattoo) which is why Justin says "let's see this as he leans towards her neck". So she'd know this isnt out of the blue or unnecessary as its something his character often does in the book.
Thank you!!! I've been saying this too! This really shows for itself she has no idea what the book is about. Nobody needs to co firm she didn't read it. We already know that 😂
It doesn’t matter if it’s in the book. If it’s not in the script, then it’s something that has to be discussed. You can’t just spontaneously do stuff because it’s in the book you’re adapting.
Kendall was spot on, his voice note was sent at 2am as a response to her text message 10min earlier. Seems he was just too nice and kissing her azz so that he didn’t lose her and Sony’s backing for his film had had years trying to produce. Y’all did a great job breaking everything down. Guess we will wait to see when she drops her evidence, but he has the right to defend himself, she def totally took charge of the full film w/o reading the book.
Thank you for this, it makes me sad that there is another very popular podcast that seems to purposely breeze over this very crucial point so I unsubscribed to them as they are firmly Blake Lively's tampons now. I won't say who they are but I'm happy to get less biased information here by people who are willing to read and relay all of the information, not just the info that works for their agenda.
@@iphotons I know what you mean, I have seen multiple that broke down BL's NYT article with complete out of context texts and than when JB dropped his lawsuit, these same podcasts made fun of it and did not even go into the points where he explained what really happened or gave the footage a chance. Kendall and Janelle did a thorough breakdown of both sides. And they bring a little humor to it all to lighten everything. Love them!
if ryan and lively where cheating on their partners during green lantern it could explain why there's control and power balance issues in their relationship
I think they brought up Blake not reading the book to give context about how she continuously tried to take over on situations she didn’t know about, like the costuming and the famous ‘rooftop’ scene.
I think they brought up the book bc she was trying to make it seem like Justin was obsessed with her. She did an interview where she says something like, the director really wanted me to love Ryle but like I love atlas and she made it seem like Justin was telling her no she loves Ryle more. Like bc in the book she loves Ryle not Atlas. Not bc Justin wanted her to love his character more.
The fact that Ryan is making surprise appearances on set to review the dailies definitely gives me paranoid vibes. Like he’s wanting to see how Blake is interacting with Justin before it’s edited.
There was a girl dying of cancer who had meeting Justin on her bucket list. She attended the party in the basement. She died in November, but at least she got to meet him.
One time I got bronchitis. I coughed so hard that I broke 3 ribs!! Turned into pneumonia, and it took nearly a full year to recover. I hope you feel better girl!
Just have to say I love these episodes!!! True crime is such a huge part of Mile Higher Media. The Sesh focusing more on the fun celebrity drama has the same vibe but more light hearted for when we all need a break from the heavy. You can’t please everyone. I hope you ladies continue using this platform as a place to talk about what YOU want to talk about instead of focusing on doing the impossible!
I honestly really like the light-hearted episodes more myself. That being said I really do enjoy hearing about topics that I would not hear about if The Sesh didn't talk about it. There are some topics that I even hear about, and I think to myself "I wonder if The Sesh is going to talk about this" because sometimes that is the only way that I will hear about it.
Same, I’m so out of the loop on celebrities and reality tv so I really like these episodes that bring me up to speed on these things because my friends and younger sister all know about this kind of stuff except me lol. So if it weren’t for the sesh I’d be like wtf is all this!! So yeah, last week’s episode on the 8 passengers was really good and I was honestly hyped when I saw they were covering the lawsuit this week because one of my friends had literally just mentioned it an hour before I saw this. Thank you guys for all that you do!!!
No same like without them I would’ve never even remembered Chris Brown existed because I excommunicated from that mf as soon as he hurt Rihanna I’m shocked he still has fans
I'm obsessed with all these stories even if I only heard through them.... none of my Fri ends talk about them so love this, we have mile higher TCKR amd lights out for any darker stuff which is why I got into this in the first place but now the sesh mat even be my fave, feel like I'm with mates x
I think the voice memo shows that they never had any lines or boundaries set. My guess is he often said stuff like this bc she also did as well. Maybe once Ryan heard/ saw the dynamic - she tried to turn the narrative and make it seem unwanted. Just a thought after you all made the point that she dates several co stars lol
So let me get this straight. People want us to believe that Blake started leaving breadcrumbs (like legal documents and HR complaints) and even got other people to file HR complaints for no reason, to eventually slander this man who’d done nothing wrong to make her want to do that, all to save her image 6-12 months before she started getting any negative press whatsoever. Because she’s a psychic who foresaw that her statements on the press tour would destroy her image and she’d need damage control. And instead of simply avoiding that entire situation by not promoting the film that way, not making her own edit of the film, and not slandering him so she wouldn’t need to save face for slandering him, she decided to… do all those things anyway including going ahead and slandering him? This psychic evil genius is also somehow wildly stupid enough to walk herself right into this situation, knowingly commit perjury, destroy her own career and credibility, all to screw over an innocent guy who’d done absolutely nothing to her? Am I hearing this correctly??? I have to believe the people saying this are just more astroturf accounts because it’s insane that any grown adult could make those leaps in logic. But I guess hatred of women really does run that strong. (Sidenote, it would be hilarious if they’re still astroturfing though because that’s sure to come out in trial)
BL has mostly a reputation of entitled brat, now we see Ryan Reynolds childish behavior and ego in full force. I think the point JB was trying to make about not reading the book was how can she rewrite the scripts when you are making a movie based on a book you’ve never read. BL had no interest in doing a movie highlighting DV, the supposed mission was to help people dealing with the situation. Blake wanted to get with her girlfriends and put on her florals, party up the town 😖
After listening to this, I have a bit of a theory. I think Blake took the role, thinking it would motivate her to "bounce back" after having her baby. Maybe she struggled with it along the way because she mentions her weight and appearance several times. She asked him to postpone certain scenes as long as possible so she could "work on her body." I think she decided not to return to set during the writer's strike because it would buy her more time to get into the shape she wanted. She was upset about the birthing scenes because there were people on set seeing her in a vulnerable position while not feeling her best about her appearance. Anyway, this is just my theory after watching this. And part of my conclusion comes from personal experience and feelings about myself, weight, lofty goals about getting in shape, and hiding when not meeting them, etc.
I wish our society was able to let people be vulnerable and real about these struggles because it would have saved so much stress and unfair accusations on Justin’s end. :-/
She had a mountain of support in the production but that is why there's professionals who helps woman in her situation. That's her responsibility to herself.
Yes, but she couldn’t even recognize that JB was trying to be helpful and supportive to her about this very thing. That’s how bad it is for some people, they don’t recognize genuine assistance when they are receiving it.
I love that y’all bring us a variety of content! I’ve been waiting for you guys to discuss this - I’m tired of watching a hundred tik toks!! Thank you for all of the work you do and for bringing great episodes to us all! Sending warmth! ♥️
I get the vibe that Blake and Justin had chemistry and blurred some lines while acting together, flirting. Or, Blake fell for Justin and Justin subtly rejected her. Ryan maybe sensed it or found out somehow, and Blake framed it to Ryan as Justin pursuing her in an unwelcome manner. Though I think she initially liked it and reciprocated. Ryan got triggered, jealous, and protective, especially considering how their own relationship started (possible infidelity after they worked together on set) and stepped in to control things and assert himself. Blake distanced herself from Justin, claiming she didn’t welcome any of it, to protect her marriage, acting like she did nothing wrong and shifting all blame and said she was harassed, and now they’re suing each other over sexual harassment and retaliation claims. I think they had the hots for each other.
Since his wife was in the movie and was visiting with their kids and doing admin work, it seems one-sided. It also looked like it in the slow-motion scene.
Nothing I despise more than injustice and liars. I think Blake is a straight up unhinged pathological liar. She was planning on ruining a man's life- his livlihood, his ability to provude for his family, his reputation.... everything. And until I'm shown hardcore facts proving otherwise, I'm inclined to believe Justin is a pretty good dude. I've listened to his book, watched a ton of episodes of his podcast, etc. I know he could be completely different, but in his book, he's great at opening up about his insecurities and issues. Not many can really admit to themselves their shortcomings...so to do so in a book where it can potentially be weaponized against by some assh*le, I give him a ton of credit. Blake wouldn't know humility if it slapped her aceoss her face. Also used to be a fan of Reynolds (more so his older work- 2 Guys, A Girl & a Pizza Place, Just Friends, etc). After Ashton broke my heart last yr with that support letter, I've learned that the majority of celebrities I liked are most likey douches. Ryan just further proved that. Blake needs to put her ego in check, drop this suit and issue an apology. It'll never happen, but I have a feeling she'll never work in Hollywood again. Good. People who lie about this subject matter.... there's something seriously wrong with them. And making it so much harder for the next *real* victim. I honestly don't know how she sleeps at night. It's rich she called Justin a "sociopath " bc I think she is the real sociopath. Don't forget she allegedly started dating Ryan when he was a married man. Shows to me that her morals/values seriously suck. Thanks ladies for reading this and your take on everything. ❤ Klarissa

He never denies any of her claims, and the NYT reporters are not idiots that would put their credibility on the line. People need to support a man any man shows.
I remember Janelle in the last episode kind of complaining about how much Kendall and her just talk but honestly it's my favorite part of the sesh. I know this is a celebrity drama podcast but I would love to just have more episodes of them just talking about their lives and just yapping the yap! Just like it used to be when the podcast first came out in 2020!
There’s a video of blake in an interview talking about how for her baby’s birthday she got a boob cake as like a joke so part of me feels like SHE was the one making these weird jokes and he just mirrored her back that’s why on the voicemail he says that towards the end about her boob
I'm really curious about the cast.... like do they feel bad about siding with an unhinged person? Because if you look at A Simple Favor 2, several of her It Ends With Us castmates are in it. I could see Blake luring them with opportunities because a lot of them are unknown. Or if you went against her, maybe your career would be over? I think Colleen Hoover is absolutely disgusting. Throwing away a 5yr friendship over a woman who couldn't even bother to read your book. How embarrassing. I'll never read anything else from her.
They only released the voice memo because they also released the text she sent him just twelve minutes prior to him sending the voice memo! After y’all read the text he sent, the voice memo makes a lot of sense. He was trying to make sure she didn’t quit
Okay I feel like Justin's response is how a person who is dealing with a live wire would respond. He is babying her. I am sure he responded at 2am because he was anxious about not responding to some message she sent. Her behavior has been INCREDIBLY TOXIC and I think he is yielding to that. Complimenting her, making her feel safe, affirming her, all of that is evidence of dealing with a person that is volatile!

@@cosetteolivo8497yes, that’s exactly what we’re saying. By the way, she did set up a trap that she could spring on him later if she thought she had to. And she did spring it over a year later.
thank you for dropping this today, things have been so heavy with whats going on in the country ive been a big bundle of stress, and now the last like 2 days ive had a terrible ear infection and today i am getting started on my antibiotic ear drops so hopefully within a couple days the pain at least will ease some edit: i hope youre feeling better now kendall! i was like that over the spring, i had a constant cough because my lungs are messed up so colds or anything usually set up into bronchitis or pneumonia. i had to take antibiotics to get it to ease but until they went into work i had a constant cough and headache
Me too. I'm from South korea. Got swollen vocal cords from shouting at the protests regarding the fucked-up martial law that happened here a month ago. Hope you find a way to cope with your stress!
Thank you everyone! I appreciate all the love and care people around the world have been showing us. I dont know how we got to this point in America... I am sending all of you my love as well
Was putting off cleaning my bathroom until you guys posted! Lol Love you guys so much, thank you for everything you guys do. We appreciate all the work and time that goes into these episodes!❤ Sending everyone so much love ✨
I am proud member of the Passamaquoddy tribe living in the great State of Maine. I tried living in Florida a few years back. NOPE! Not for me. I am a Mainah through and through. It is currently 15 Degrees here an finished snowing earlier in the day. Along with everyone else here I look forward to a new episode of the Sesh. This Gen-xer love you guys. Don't ever stop.
Blake has a huge ego, is deeply insecure and is extremely entitled (nepo baby). Justin let himself be a pushover when faced with these people who have more power and connections in hollywood than him. Blake took this an opportunity to fulfill her dreams of having more directorial power by leveraging being a ‘woman’ who is overlooked when it comes to anything more than acting. Justin, with a history of identifying with feminism, did not want to be the bad guy and allowed her more control because of this. She took advantage of his empathy and kindness and in turn manipulated many other coworkers along the way. Her ego was hurt when her past bad behavior came up and her only explanation was Justin caused it. Which led to the current circus happening now 🎪
Her not reading the book does make sense in the lawsuit because like Sydney said how can you take over something you have no context of. Also, the scene he released that she says made her uncomfortable, is a pivotal scene in the book that says Lilly was resisting his advances & the kiss was being teased but never happens. That is exactly how Baldoni is directing the scene to be like the book
This is just me speculating but it almost feels like Blake took this movie thinking she’d easily be able to manipulate Justin, Take control of the movie, simply because he’s a feminist and does so much work as an ally for women. I could be wrong but she wouldn’t DARE do this with a well known director. It feels like she’s using his kindness against him and when she didn’t get what she wanted she set out to destroy him.
I would hope Justin Baldoni wouldn't settle even if Blake Lively wants to. Women that lie on men, should be punished! They make it harder for women that have been raped or harassed to come forward. It makes it so hard for anyone to believe true victims.
Emily D Baker is good, but she takes sides and gives biased opinions. I liked her until she went full pro Johnny depp. It was all very embarrassing and disgusting.
Also just so you guys know, the Deadpool music scorer was asked very last second to score for IEWU BECAUSE Taylor didn’t like the original one for IEWU and basically said if you don’t replace them you can’t use my music.
She sounds like a spoiled Hollywood brat. This is pathetic behavior. Very he said, she said. This is a discrepancy between two people and the only thing making it a lawsuit is exaggerated claims and two rich individuals. Judges have actually important matters to be worried about. They’re taking up resources for petty drama. *of course I stand with any woman who has been sexual harassed or assaulted. I just really think this is not the case here and a lot can be taken in whatever context fits your narrative.
I live in WA state and love it here yes we have a rainy season but because of that everything is so green and lush and fresh! The summers are perfection and we get lots of beautiful sunny days throughout the year too
Hi from Winnipeg, Manitoba in the great white north. We just got out of an extreme cold warning here where it was -41 degrees. Yup. I live here though because it is truly Canada's hidden gem. Yes, winter sucks but there is SO much more here that makes it so liveable and likeable. 😁
as someone from florida where im actively wearing a heavy jacket in 65 degree weather, i cannot fathom this. like genuinely how do you function in that??
No, he's explaining that she's not read the book, which means she could have easily mistaken Ryle Kincaid's character as JB... While JB was completely invested in the character so she ended up projecting the toxic personality of the character onto JB
I'm sorry that text message about the dragons or whatever has to be one of the cringiest things I've heard come from a grown woman, I can't believe it's real 💀
Watching this while on the plane and reminding myself of the plane in jello that Janelle told me about a while ago, while trying not to have anxiety over the turbulence. Y’all keep me sane 🙏
Fyi, candace owens has the entire timeline all figured out. It's insane how crazy ryan went when he realized there was chemistry between Justin and Blake while watching the dailies.
Minnesotan here!!! I always say Minnesota is SOOOO underrated, everyone thinks it’s the land of ice and snow (and yes we do get both) but it also does warm up sometimes through the winter! Today (the 30th) it is almost 50 degrees. The culture is amazing here too. But the summers…. PERFECT. Lakes and water everywhere. We all spend the majority of the warm months on the lake!!
I think we need to remember: Justin was trying to make a really heartfelt apology. But he had nothing to apologize for! Yes, it was weird, but actors are weird. Leading actors regularly hook up! Ryan and Blake did. Blake and Penn Badgly did. Blake and Ben Affleck did. So by comparison Justin's sappy long voice memo is super mild. 😂
I'm in Oregon, right now it's rainy. But I love how we get to enjoy all the seasons here. The mountains are beautiful, as are the trees. The PNW is just gorgeous.
28:05 as someone who had the unfortunate “opportunity” to try Blake Lively hair care line their issues from the very beginning when the first promotional pictures came out and people said that her hair looked damaged and dirty, and someone who tried it. It actually left my hair, looking damaged and like I hadn’t washed it in over a month and even worse right out of the shower, my scalp felt dirty. There was also this rather unpleasant chemically undertone that was there and at least for me very noticeable. I ended up throwing it out after four days mainly cause I couldn’t stand how it made my scalp feel and couldn’t even justify giving it away to someone else because then that would just be mean. At first I thought it was because maybe they rushed it into production because she desperately wanted that Barbie/Oppenheimer movie connection and was marketing it like it was Barbie 2.0 and constantly bringing up her husband Ryan Reynolds movie Deadpool except she said that she had been working on this hair line for almost 8 years it’s just mind-boggling that that is what they came up with for working on it that long from everything, even the packaging, which were rather hard to use while your hands are wet in the shower. And it’s actually sad that as an adult, she’s not capable of realizing that something are your fault and you cannot blame others… like just blaming Justin Baldoni and his team for causing this when is as far as I know BOTS are just about comments and such in the comment section of people’s reactions they didn’t actually make actual videos with actual people with actual different “theories” it’s like as you said they’re like back in the 90s where you didn’t have all these citizen investigator journalists and people were able to see many - previously hidden - videos of bad behavior from a very beginning of her career. Their reaction now trying to get the gag orders and trying to blame about Downey for releasing the complaint to the New York Times really tells me that they know that it’s BS and that their side manipulated things because of Baldoni’s lawsuit he pretty much counteracted every single one of those points (like it’s really suspect that she chose a scene where she thought had no sound so he would have no way of proving that she was the one that brought up the spray tan and he was just saying it smelt fine… if it had no sound, he would have no way of proving what happens even with the number of times it does seem she manipulated things like in the birthing scene where she claims she had a small piece fabric covering her lady bits except she was wearing black briefs (which I’m assuming he wouldn’t claim otherwise if there wasn’t a video proof) by lying through omission by talking about how the industry standard is usually gluing a tiny piece of “modesty” fabric made it seem like that was actually what she was wearing. Although I gave her side, a lot of weight because as a gRAPE survivor, I didn’t want to think that a woman would abuse an accusation like that, but as time goes on, it’s becoming obvious that that’s exactly what she did because she was having a temper tantrum is acting like a spoiled brat and unable to take accountability (which straight up, I cannot see how any director or production company is gonna wanna work with her now that it’s obvious that she will weaponize her continuing participation in either the filming or the promotion to get what she wants… who (big name or otherwise) would want to risk millions of dollars on someone like that. Anyway, I’ll end it here because this is getting a bit long because this makes me really heated I think probably due to my past. First time listen to your show and I subscribed and will be watching some of your other videos, like the one on Chris Brown (I used to also love that song, but I haven’t been able to listen to it in a long time because of his problematic past)
As a "Michigander"as we say😂 I can confirm the winter sucks and is depressing..but it can be fun if you ski or snow shoe etc..the summer and fall is pretty magical here..best beaches, camping etc. The Upper Peninsula is so mystical and beautiful🌅
I think them saying she didn’t read the book is more about how 1. She’s trying to take this movie over and get the rights to something she never cared to invest herself in and 2. It’s about a serious topic, just wanted her to understand the impact fulness of the book and the message. So her lack of connection to the story and motive shows because she never even choose to invest herself from the beginning
I believe Blake undeniably gave the impression of flirtiness, friendship, power, and the potential for a deeper business relationship with Justin. This was all a calculated move to seize control! She manipulated him so she could be in the spotlight as the 🌟STAR, Powerful Woman Director, and business mogul! When Justin caught on she found another way, making him a villain and making herself a strong victim. It’s truly alarming that someone would consciously ruin another person’s life just to gain power. If Taylor Swift associates with someone like Blake, it raises serious questions about her character.
Or Blake befriends Taylor so she can use her. I think it’s interesting Taylor hasn’t publicly supported Blake in this feud. Will be interesting to see how that plays out
I 100% get why her reading the book was brought up. Like you guys said she wanted to take control and had no clue the inner workings of this book. She wanted her character to wear designer clothes and hand bangs and if she would have read the book she would know that’s not how her character is portrayed. I think the difference between her and other actors who don’t read the books from who/what they are portraying is that they actually do some homework regarding their characters and it seems Blake didn’t at all.
Am I the only one wondering if maybe Blake had a postpartum mental slip? I haven't had a kid, but I know the chemistry can cause some crazy paranoia and such.
I don't think Blake's career can be ended. She is EXTREMELY well connected in Hollywood thru her family. But, I think this situation highlights some flaws in the "believe all women" movement. I have always thought "trust and verify" is a better approach. Basically, it's fine to believe ANYONE who comes forward (not gender specific), in fact you should. AND, no one sb demonized without some sort of proof.
I live in CRAAAAAZY NW FL and I saw snow for the first time in life last week at age 37 🎉 ⛄️ it was utterly magical!! But tonight, we’re at a decent 54 😊
I kept seeing little pieces here and there about this and so ima just say THANK YOU for breaking it down and making it so simple and easy to understand 😭🙏🏼
I like that you guys changed your mind about who’s at fault in this case . I like that you’re not stuck in one way or the other. 👏 I don’t think you owe an apology. You thought one thing based on what we were seeing in popular media that is considered “accurate” or “fact”. Who can blame you. As time passes I’ve noticed that many of these “factual and accurate media sources” can be easily bought out and influenced by those with much fame and money. Thank you for being reasonable and open minded as usual .
Michigan has been getting tamer every year. The last few days have been sunny and warmer but last week was in the negatives. I still take my dog out in the winters when it’s 25-30 degrees. The winters can be tough but I will say summer in northern Michigan is one of the most beautiful places in the world. The Great Lakes are so big it’s basically a fresh water ocean and it is like living on the coast. There’s also mini mountains here and dunes in northern Michigan. I do think I will end up being a snow bird at some point, I don’t think I can ever really leave Michigan for good but definitely the winters can be tough.
Reading the book MATTERS! She TOOK OVER not only fashion for the film, but re-writing parts of the script (having her "dragons" peer/pressure and influence it being applied), marketing, the music and score, editing and producing (all of which was already decided on) without having read the book!?!?! WTH!!!. As an avid reader, GTFOH!!! She minimized the THEME - DV - BUT promoted FASHION, HAIR LINE AND DRINK LINE. Come on guys!!! ***EYE ROLL** The whole "I'll give you my location," smart A comment to the journalist asking how she would reply to DV victim who approached her looking for help or advice, showed me EXACTLY who she is!!! I bet she'd give them her business card for her hair line or drink line though.
Bee Better guy was almost canceled due to his critiques of Kamala Harris and her presidential campaign. Wonder how much their opinion will change about him after they follow up on his personal/political views.
Well… I live in Perth, Western Australia. It is the most isolated major city in the world. Our beaches are incredible, the lifestyle is laid back and our weather the majority of the time is pristine. Our winters aren’t overly cold.. but our summers are insanely hot. Last few days it’s been 41 degrees celsius (105F) and it’s too hot to do anything. But when our sea breeze comes in in the afternoon/evening.. it’s tolerable. Also we have some amazing sunsets over here and 3 hour flight to Bali! It’s cheaper for us in Perth to fly to Bali, Indonesia than fly to Sydney (in the same country). So most of peoples family holidays are in Bali!
NOT ME GETTING A MINT MOBILE AD ON THIS VIDEO 😭 the "hey it's Ryan Reynolds" was jarring
LOL noooo
Same!!!! Ive been getting so many more since everything is coming out
Me too!!! Jumpscare
😂😂😂
Didn't he sell mint mobile? Still uses himself as the spokesperson?! Lol loser@@TheSeshPodcast
Also, did you guys see that info about Colleen Hoover?? So Justin has the rights to the books, and apparently Ryan kept trying to buy them from him, but he refused. In some papers that many people have found, it's shown that the only way Justin could "lose" the rights to the books is if he was accused of something bad...something like SA. So that's definitely something interesting to look into and bring up. There's also the interview with Blake and Colleen that shows Blake saying if Colleen has the rights to the books, she'd follow her anywhere. Maybe this is part of a motive to smear Justin and get the books back.
That’s crazy omg
I think they mentioned that in the last episode they talked about this. It's called a morality clause. I definitely think that's what they are after.
oh my goodness i did not know any of this :O
I think Colleen is in on it. She's been wayyy too quiet.
I cannot believe this is all over a colleen hoover book! her writing is garbage, and the rooftop scene in the book was sooo cringey😭
I think the reason not reading the book was relavent to be added in Justins case was to highlight that Blake was calling out "unscripted" moments in scenes that Justin was doing. Blake was claiming these were due to him trying to SH her, but Justins team are trying to say that if she'd read the book she would know he was trying to imitate book scenes more accurately.
Omg I didn’t even realise until reading your comment, but seriously DUH 👀
I agree. Her taking over makes even less sense because she didn't read the book. But it was obvious she didn't understand the movies message based on how she promoted the movie. I thought it was a romantic movie untill all this came up and I saw Justins interviews. So strange. Also I'm not sure she understood what she signed up for and that made her uncomfortable when they started filming. If she had read the book she would probably understand the scenes and her co-star/producers ideas. But she chose to not prepare that way wich is strange with a topic like DV. Like you know there will be uncomfortable scenes to shoot so you prepare. You read the book, make notes and meet with the intimacy coordinator.
But wouldn’t the script have all scenes included? I’m not defending Blake for not reading the book, I think it’s ridiculous, but I don’t understand how her not reading the book would affect what Justin ended up putting in the script. A script usually has basic guidelines for what the characters are doing in the scene, so if he’s adding stuff that wasn’t in the script while the cameras are rolling would that not be an issue regardless of whether or not she read the book in the first place? Does what I’m saying make sense? If Justin was only directing he would be behind the camera and be able to verbally give Blake instructions to direct her for the vision he had but since he’s also acting as the love interest he seems to have chosen to improvise in the moment (which very well could have been him improvising based on what was in the book) which unless Blake was told beforehand that they were going to improvise, I would personally see that as potentially overstepping professional boundaries. I wish I knew more about how scripts are developed and when an actor signs on to do a film if they are signing on having read the entire script. If Blake read the whole script before signing on to do the film then my next question is did Justin include all the necessary scene info in the script (ie not leaving out how intimate they are expected to be acting in certain scenes), if yes then Blake has no reason to be surprised by what he’s doing in their scenes together.
Yes!!!!!! This was exactly what I was thinking!!! It’s actually a very important and critical comment! She was basically “tone def” !! If you don’t read the book then you can’t truly grasp the undertone of each scene!
that doesn’t matter. if physical contact isn’t explicitly stated in the script there needs to be verbal consent to it. whether or not an intimacy coordinator is present
ACTUALLY DECEASED FROM THE SOUND EFFECTS OF KENDALL COUGHING
KARELLY I love you!!! 😂
I was giggling! 😂😂
@@raven429 editing at it's finest. So funny
The voice memo was in response to a novel she texted him 12 minutes earlier at 1:48am. We have to keep in mind that acting is not a normal workplace environment. The lines are always going to be inherently muddled. Most of us aren’t making out with our coworkers and pretending to have sex with them as part of our job description.
Yes!
Right?! This voice memo made me more on his side. I also don't think the boob comment was weird... like what?! Why is that weird? She was breast feeding.
@@degaslover not to mention the fact that not long ago she was on a radio station and said that she gave her son a cake of her boobs for his first birthday. Seems to me she’s comfortable talking about her boobs.
@@degaslover I agree. Especially since she was up late texting him + just had a baby = breastfeeding. Blake is one of those women who acts like she’s a super mom for doing normal mom things, so he’s going overboard in praising her to keep the peace because that’s her thing-being praised. He literally mentioned both his wife and Ryan. And his voice was exactly the same as when he voice texted his production team about her cut of the film + his voice memo about being in the basement. This is just who he is.
@@degaslovereither breastfeeding is sexual and should not be done in public and men should never speak ofnit it *or* its not sexual and what is the problem with a man bringing it up? People need to pick a fking lane on this. I feel like there a huge number of people who claim its not sexual are also now calling him creepy for mentioning it.
The reason Justin Baldoni mentions she didnt read the book is VERY important. The "kissing the neck" or breathing near her neck (outlined in blakes complaint- the slow dance scene) is where Blake is trying to have her SH moment. If she read the book she'd know that Justins character constantly kisses Blakes character on the neck area as her tattoo is there (lily blooms tattoo) which is why Justin says "let's see this as he leans towards her neck". So she'd know this isnt out of the blue or unnecessary as its something his character often does in the book.
Thank you!!! I've been saying this too! This really shows for itself she has no idea what the book is about. Nobody needs to co firm she didn't read it. We already know that 😂
Thank you 👏🏼 I was going to say this!!
But should t this be talked about beforehand with an intimacy coordinator?
It doesn’t matter if it’s in the book. If it’s not in the script, then it’s something that has to be discussed. You can’t just spontaneously do stuff because it’s in the book you’re adapting.
@@hali_55 but she can improvise and change what’s on the script?
Kendall was spot on, his voice note was sent at 2am as a response to her text message 10min earlier. Seems he was just too nice and kissing her azz so that he didn’t lose her and Sony’s backing for his film had had years trying to produce.
Y’all did a great job breaking everything down. Guess we will wait to see when she drops her evidence, but he has the right to defend himself, she def totally took charge of the full film w/o reading the book.
Thank you for this, it makes me sad that there is another very popular podcast that seems to purposely breeze over this very crucial point so I unsubscribed to them as they are firmly Blake Lively's tampons now. I won't say who they are but I'm happy to get less biased information here by people who are willing to read and relay all of the information, not just the info that works for their agenda.
@@iphotons I know what you mean, I have seen multiple that broke down BL's NYT article with complete out of context texts and than when JB dropped his lawsuit, these same podcasts made fun of it and did not even go into the points where he explained what really happened or gave the footage a chance.
Kendall and Janelle did a thorough breakdown of both sides. And they bring a little humor to it all to lighten everything. Love them!
Am I the only one who thinks he sounds creepy AF in that voicemail
@@kimmiegirl810ha it is but it’s his voice, matches the same as the one he sent to his team about being sent to the basement for the premiere.
Of course he was - he's trying to keep dragons away.
Kendall's crashouts were so funny this episode, I love when she gets a little bit unhinged 😂
thank you for saving me the time to read everything/catch up on my own 😭 always more fun to learn from you all.
i genuinely hate the way this woman texts. she acts like she’s still living in gossip girl land
Yes it’s a bunch of word salad & jargon. Seems so manipulative to me
if ryan and lively where cheating on their partners during green lantern it could explain why there's control and power balance issues in their relationship
I thought it was Wayfair the online furniture company getting into film production 😭
LOL
Same lmao
Honestly, same 😂😂
Me too 😆
Girl same! 😂😂
What if Ryan wanted the dailies to see if Blake was catching feelings for his co-star?
Right! Like he needed them for proof of anything
hit the nail on the head. she’s no stranger to dating a co-star. he had to keep tabs on her! 👀
That's exactly why he wanted to see the dailies. And apparently, he did NOT like what he saw
I think they brought up Blake not reading the book to give context about how she continuously tried to take over on situations she didn’t know about, like the costuming and the famous ‘rooftop’ scene.
I think they brought up the book bc she was trying to make it seem like Justin was obsessed with her. She did an interview where she says something like, the director really wanted me to love Ryle but like I love atlas and she made it seem like Justin was telling her no she loves Ryle more. Like bc in the book she loves Ryle not Atlas. Not bc Justin wanted her to love his character more.
Dying at Kendall’s outbursts, the head hitting is sooo funny!!! I need more of this side of you
The fact that Ryan is making surprise appearances on set to review the dailies definitely gives me paranoid vibes.
Like he’s wanting to see how Blake is interacting with Justin before it’s edited.
Or he's trying to support his post partum wife 🙄
He does not need or have the right to see dailies of a project he’s not even involved with- in order to support his wife. Wtf
or he knew she was unhappy and was trying to take care of his wife ..
There was a girl dying of cancer who had meeting Justin on her bucket list. She attended the party in the basement. She died in November, but at least she got to meet him.
I think my favorite part is watching Kendall listen to the voicemail with her eyes closed, smiling😂😂
Meanwhile Janelle is ICKED
Oh my besties are on! Thank you for bringing light and humor to this January that’s on its 879th day!
One time I got bronchitis. I coughed so hard that I broke 3 ribs!! Turned into pneumonia, and it took nearly a full year to recover. I hope you feel better girl!
No you guys reading the dialogue from the dancing scene is ABSOLUTELY KILLLINNNG MEEEEE 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Just have to say I love these episodes!!! True crime is such a huge part of Mile Higher Media. The Sesh focusing more on the fun celebrity drama has the same vibe but more light hearted for when we all need a break from the heavy. You can’t please everyone. I hope you ladies continue using this platform as a place to talk about what YOU want to talk about instead of focusing on doing the impossible!
I honestly really like the light-hearted episodes more myself. That being said I really do enjoy hearing about topics that I would not hear about if The Sesh didn't talk about it. There are some topics that I even hear about, and I think to myself "I wonder if The Sesh is going to talk about this" because sometimes that is the only way that I will hear about it.
Same, I’m so out of the loop on celebrities and reality tv so I really like these episodes that bring me up to speed on these things because my friends and younger sister all know about this kind of stuff except me lol. So if it weren’t for the sesh I’d be like wtf is all this!! So yeah, last week’s episode on the 8 passengers was really good and I was honestly hyped when I saw they were covering the lawsuit this week because one of my friends had literally just mentioned it an hour before I saw this. Thank you guys for all that you do!!!
No same like without them I would’ve never even remembered Chris Brown existed because I excommunicated from that mf as soon as he hurt Rihanna
I’m shocked he still has fans
I'm obsessed with all these stories even if I only heard through them.... none of my Fri ends talk about them so love this, we have mile higher TCKR amd lights out for any darker stuff which is why I got into this in the first place but now the sesh mat even be my fave, feel like I'm with mates x
I think the voice memo shows that they never had any lines or boundaries set. My guess is he often said stuff like this bc she also did as well. Maybe once Ryan heard/ saw the dynamic - she tried to turn the narrative and make it seem unwanted. Just a thought after you all made the point that she dates several co stars lol
Good thought. I heard someone else mention something similar.
So let me get this straight. People want us to believe that Blake started leaving breadcrumbs (like legal documents and HR complaints) and even got other people to file HR complaints for no reason, to eventually slander this man who’d done nothing wrong to make her want to do that, all to save her image 6-12 months before she started getting any negative press whatsoever. Because she’s a psychic who foresaw that her statements on the press tour would destroy her image and she’d need damage control. And instead of simply avoiding that entire situation by not promoting the film that way, not making her own edit of the film, and not slandering him so she wouldn’t need to save face for slandering him, she decided to… do all those things anyway including going ahead and slandering him? This psychic evil genius is also somehow wildly stupid enough to walk herself right into this situation, knowingly commit perjury, destroy her own career and credibility, all to screw over an innocent guy who’d done absolutely nothing to her?
Am I hearing this correctly??? I have to believe the people saying this are just more astroturf accounts because it’s insane that any grown adult could make those leaps in logic. But I guess hatred of women really does run that strong. (Sidenote, it would be hilarious if they’re still astroturfing though because that’s sure to come out in trial)
Just wanted to come back to say, the 2AM voice note was a response to a text sent by Lively at 150AM
BL has mostly a reputation of entitled brat, now we see Ryan Reynolds childish behavior and ego in full force. I think the point JB was trying to make about not reading the book was how can she rewrite the scripts when you are making a movie based on a book you’ve never read. BL had no interest in doing a movie highlighting DV, the supposed mission was to help people dealing with the situation. Blake wanted to get with her girlfriends and put on her florals, party up the town 😖
what prove you have that BL has a "reputation of entitled brat" just showing that smear campaigns work, especially against women.
After listening to this, I have a bit of a theory. I think Blake took the role, thinking it would motivate her to "bounce back" after having her baby. Maybe she struggled with it along the way because she mentions her weight and appearance several times. She asked him to postpone certain scenes as long as possible so she could "work on her body." I think she decided not to return to set during the writer's strike because it would buy her more time to get into the shape she wanted. She was upset about the birthing scenes because there were people on set seeing her in a vulnerable position while not feeling her best about her appearance. Anyway, this is just my theory after watching this. And part of my conclusion comes from personal experience and feelings about myself, weight, lofty goals about getting in shape, and hiding when not meeting them, etc.
I wish our society was able to let people be vulnerable and real about these struggles because it would have saved so much stress and unfair accusations on Justin’s end. :-/
She had a mountain of support in the production but that is why there's professionals who helps woman in her situation. That's her responsibility to herself.
Yes, but she couldn’t even recognize that JB was trying to be helpful and supportive to her about this very thing. That’s how bad it is for some people, they don’t recognize genuine assistance when they are receiving it.
I love that y’all bring us a variety of content! I’ve been waiting for you guys to discuss this - I’m tired of watching a hundred tik toks!! Thank you for all of the work you do and for bringing great episodes to us all! Sending warmth! ♥️
I get the vibe that Blake and Justin had chemistry and blurred some lines while acting together, flirting. Or, Blake fell for Justin and Justin subtly rejected her. Ryan maybe sensed it or found out somehow, and Blake framed it to Ryan as Justin pursuing her in an unwelcome manner. Though I think she initially liked it and reciprocated. Ryan got triggered, jealous, and protective, especially considering how their own relationship started (possible infidelity after they worked together on set) and stepped in to control things and assert himself. Blake distanced herself from Justin, claiming she didn’t welcome any of it, to protect her marriage, acting like she did nothing wrong and shifting all blame and said she was harassed, and now they’re suing each other over sexual harassment and retaliation claims. I think they had the hots for each other.
THIS!! i'm thinking this exact same thing
That's so weird and shady! I wouldn't put it past either of them.
I thought the same thing. Threw him under the bus to protect herself from her husband
Since his wife was in the movie and was visiting with their kids and doing admin work, it seems one-sided. It also looked like it in the slow-motion scene.
That's the wildest speculating I've ever heard.
Nothing I despise more than injustice and liars. I think Blake is a straight up unhinged pathological liar. She was planning on ruining a man's life- his livlihood, his ability to provude for his family, his reputation.... everything. And until I'm shown hardcore facts proving otherwise, I'm inclined to believe Justin is a pretty good dude. I've listened to his book, watched a ton of episodes of his podcast, etc. I know he could be completely different, but in his book, he's great at opening up about his insecurities and issues. Not many can really admit to themselves their shortcomings...so to do so in a book where it can potentially be weaponized against by some assh*le, I give him a ton of credit. Blake wouldn't know humility if it slapped her aceoss her face.
Also used to be a fan of Reynolds (more so his older work- 2 Guys, A Girl & a Pizza Place, Just Friends, etc). After Ashton broke my heart last yr with that support letter, I've learned that the majority of celebrities I liked are most likey douches. Ryan just further proved that.
Blake needs to put her ego in check, drop this suit and issue an apology. It'll never happen, but I have a feeling she'll never work in Hollywood again. Good. People who lie about this subject matter.... there's something seriously wrong with them. And making it so much harder for the next *real* victim. I honestly don't know how she sleeps at night. It's rich she called Justin a "sociopath " bc I think she is the real sociopath. Don't forget she allegedly started dating Ryan when he was a married man. Shows to me that her morals/values seriously suck. Thanks ladies for reading this and your take on everything.
❤ Klarissa

He never denies any of her claims, and the NYT reporters are not idiots that would put their credibility on the line. People need to support a man any man shows.
Finally caught up on this lawsuit with y’all and then y’all post a third one ❤ thank you ladies
I remember Janelle in the last episode kind of complaining about how much Kendall and her just talk but honestly it's my favorite part of the sesh. I know this is a celebrity drama podcast but I would love to just have more episodes of them just talking about their lives and just yapping the yap! Just like it used to be when the podcast first came out in 2020!
There’s a video of blake in an interview talking about how for her baby’s birthday she got a boob cake as like a joke so part of me feels like SHE was the one making these weird jokes and he just mirrored her back that’s why on the voicemail he says that towards the end about her boob
Exactly. He let her set the tone and followed her lead.
I'm really curious about the cast.... like do they feel bad about siding with an unhinged person? Because if you look at A Simple Favor 2, several of her It Ends With Us castmates are in it. I could see Blake luring them with opportunities because a lot of them are unknown. Or if you went against her, maybe your career would be over? I think Colleen Hoover is absolutely disgusting. Throwing away a 5yr friendship over a woman who couldn't even bother to read your book. How embarrassing. I'll never read anything else from her.
I live in Norway, Europe. Cold cold cold🤣 Love the Sesh, warms my soul😍

I bet it’s so beautiful there!! We’re cold then hot then back and forth in the southern US!
The voice memo was sent at 2 AM because Blake texted him at 1:50 AM!!! And he honestly sounds like he's walking on eggshells! Team Justin all the way!
I can’t believe you said Michigan has the worst winters 🤦🏼♀️🤣😭 North Dakota and Minnesota winters are BRUTAL 🤣 love you guys!
I think all of Justin’s communications to Blake are extra nice to try and “please” her
They only released the voice memo because they also released the text she sent him just twelve minutes prior to him sending the voice memo! After y’all read the text he sent, the voice memo makes a lot of sense. He was trying to make sure she didn’t quit
Yay happy Wednesday!! Watching this show has been so baked into my Wednesday routine I clicked on it as soon as it went live!
Thank you so much for watching!
Okay I feel like Justin's response is how a person who is dealing with a live wire would respond. He is babying her. I am sure he responded at 2am because he was anxious about not responding to some message she sent. Her behavior has been INCREDIBLY TOXIC and I think he is yielding to that. Complimenting her, making her feel safe, affirming her, all of that is evidence of dealing with a person that is volatile!
He is absolutely just trying to placate her. I would too she's clearly a psycho.
He responded at 2 AM because she wrote him a few minutes earlier

You can tell Blake’s never received media training based on her responses in every interview. She’s the type to think she doesn’t need it.
I am proud member of the Passamaquoddy tribe living in the great State of Maine. I tried living in Florida a few years back. NOPE! Not for me. I am a Mainah through and through. It is currently 15 Degrees here an finished snowing earlier in the day. Along with everyone else here I look forward to a new episode of the Sesh. This Gen-xer love you guys. Don't ever stop.
1:32:02 - "in which no sound was recorded" but Justin kept his mic on - SMART MAN!!!
and you can see she is very uncomfortable. clear display of the Fawn response.
Okay. That dance scene sounds WAY LESS intimate when yall are reading it 😂😂😂😂 GREAT JOB👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s been weird… wisconsin, no snow, 40 degree, heater off, window open, feels like spring.

Florida took your winter last week
Blake has a huge ego, is deeply insecure and is extremely entitled (nepo baby). Justin let himself be a pushover when faced with these people who have more power and connections in hollywood than him. Blake took this an opportunity to fulfill her dreams of having more directorial power by leveraging being a ‘woman’ who is overlooked when it comes to anything more than acting. Justin, with a history of identifying with feminism, did not want to be the bad guy and allowed her more control because of this. She took advantage of his empathy and kindness and in turn manipulated many other coworkers along the way. Her ego was hurt when her past bad behavior came up and her only explanation was Justin caused it. Which led to the current circus happening now 🎪
just prove that smear campaigns work, especially against women. I have never seen anything about her having a huge ego, until this movie
Her not reading the book does make sense in the lawsuit because like Sydney said how can you take over something you have no context of. Also, the scene he released that she says made her uncomfortable, is a pivotal scene in the book that says Lilly was resisting his advances & the kiss was being teased but never happens. That is exactly how Baldoni is directing the scene to be like the book
This is just me speculating but it almost feels like Blake took this movie thinking she’d easily be able to manipulate Justin, Take control of the movie, simply because he’s a feminist and does so much work as an ally for women. I could be wrong but she wouldn’t DARE do this with a well known director. It feels like she’s using his kindness against him and when she didn’t get what she wanted she set out to destroy him.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME TIME W/ THIS WHOLE LAWSUIT THING ❤❤❤❤
I would hope Justin Baldoni wouldn't settle even if Blake Lively wants to. Women that lie on men, should be punished! They make it harder for women that have been raped or harassed to come forward. It makes it so hard for anyone to believe true victims.

Also just so you guys know, the Deadpool music scorer was asked very last second to score for IEWU BECAUSE Taylor didn’t like the original one for IEWU and basically said if you don’t replace them you can’t use my music.
She sounds like a spoiled Hollywood brat. This is pathetic behavior. Very he said, she said. This is a discrepancy between two people and the only thing making it a lawsuit is exaggerated claims and two rich individuals. Judges have actually important matters to be worried about. They’re taking up resources for petty drama.
*of course I stand with any woman who has been sexual harassed or assaulted. I just really think this is not the case here and a lot can be taken in whatever context fits your narrative.
I live in WA state and love it here yes we have a rainy season but because of that everything is so green and lush and fresh! The summers are perfection and we get lots of beautiful sunny days throughout the year too
Your "idiot" lines are hilarious and remind me so much of the exact same Glass Onion scene 😂 great movie btw
Hi from Winnipeg, Manitoba in the great white north. We just got out of an extreme cold warning here where it was -41 degrees. Yup. I live here though because it is truly Canada's hidden gem. Yes, winter sucks but there is SO much more here that makes it so liveable and likeable. 😁
From Winnipeg too!
Omg, I can’t imagine, I’m cold in 30° California loll
My hubs is from Winnipeg. His dad calls it Winter-peg lol.
Omg Winnipeg crew
as someone from florida where im actively wearing a heavy jacket in 65 degree weather, i cannot fathom this. like genuinely how do you function in that??
No, he's explaining that she's not read the book, which means she could have easily mistaken Ryle Kincaid's character as JB... While JB was completely invested in the character so she ended up projecting the toxic personality of the character onto JB
The people in the internet are FBI Agents are so spot on for real!
"it ends with Blake" and "it's giving lesbian" has me chuckling😂😂😂
I'm sorry that text message about the dragons or whatever has to be one of the cringiest things I've heard come from a grown woman, I can't believe it's real 💀
Watching this while on the plane and reminding myself of the plane in jello that Janelle told me about a while ago, while trying not to have anxiety over the turbulence. Y’all keep me sane 🙏
Fyi, candace owens has the entire timeline all figured out. It's insane how crazy ryan went when he realized there was chemistry between Justin and Blake while watching the dailies.
10000%
Minnesotan here!!! I always say Minnesota is SOOOO underrated, everyone thinks it’s the land of ice and snow (and yes we do get both) but it also does warm up sometimes through the winter! Today (the 30th) it is almost 50 degrees. The culture is amazing here too. But the summers…. PERFECT. Lakes and water everywhere. We all spend the majority of the warm months on the lake!!
I think we need to remember: Justin was trying to make a really heartfelt apology. But he had nothing to apologize for! Yes, it was weird, but actors are weird. Leading actors regularly hook up! Ryan and Blake did. Blake and Penn Badgly did. Blake and Ben Affleck did. So by comparison Justin's sappy long voice memo is super mild. 😂
I'm in Oregon, right now it's rainy. But I love how we get to enjoy all the seasons here. The mountains are beautiful, as are the trees.
The PNW is just gorgeous.
I'm in WV and we have had all four seasons in one week 🤣 just this week 😂
28:05 as someone who had the unfortunate “opportunity” to try Blake Lively hair care line their issues from the very beginning when the first promotional pictures came out and people said that her hair looked damaged and dirty, and someone who tried it. It actually left my hair, looking damaged and like I hadn’t washed it in over a month and even worse right out of the shower, my scalp felt dirty. There was also this rather unpleasant chemically undertone that was there and at least for me very noticeable. I ended up throwing it out after four days mainly cause I couldn’t stand how it made my scalp feel and couldn’t even justify giving it away to someone else because then that would just be mean. At first I thought it was because maybe they rushed it into production because she desperately wanted that Barbie/Oppenheimer movie connection and was marketing it like it was Barbie 2.0 and constantly bringing up her husband Ryan Reynolds movie Deadpool except she said that she had been working on this hair line for almost 8 years it’s just mind-boggling that that is what they came up with for working on it that long from everything, even the packaging, which were rather hard to use while your hands are wet in the shower. And it’s actually sad that as an adult, she’s not capable of realizing that something are your fault and you cannot blame others… like just blaming Justin Baldoni and his team for causing this when is as far as I know BOTS are just about comments and such in the comment section of people’s reactions they didn’t actually make actual videos with actual people with actual different “theories” it’s like as you said they’re like back in the 90s where you didn’t have all these citizen investigator journalists and people were able to see many - previously hidden - videos of bad behavior from a very beginning of her career.
Their reaction now trying to get the gag orders and trying to blame about Downey for releasing the complaint to the New York Times really tells me that they know that it’s BS and that their side manipulated things because of Baldoni’s lawsuit he pretty much counteracted every single one of those points (like it’s really suspect that she chose a scene where she thought had no sound so he would have no way of proving that she was the one that brought up the spray tan and he was just saying it smelt fine… if it had no sound, he would have no way of proving what happens even with the number of times it does seem she manipulated things like in the birthing scene where she claims she had a small piece fabric covering her lady bits except she was wearing black briefs (which I’m assuming he wouldn’t claim otherwise if there wasn’t a video proof) by lying through omission by talking about how the industry standard is usually gluing a tiny piece of “modesty” fabric made it seem like that was actually what she was wearing. Although I gave her side, a lot of weight because as a gRAPE survivor, I didn’t want to think that a woman would abuse an accusation like that, but as time goes on, it’s becoming obvious that that’s exactly what she did because she was having a temper tantrum is acting like a spoiled brat and unable to take accountability (which straight up, I cannot see how any director or production company is gonna wanna work with her now that it’s obvious that she will weaponize her continuing participation in either the filming or the promotion to get what she wants… who (big name or otherwise) would want to risk millions of dollars on someone like that. Anyway, I’ll end it here because this is getting a bit long because this makes me really heated I think probably due to my past. First time listen to your show and I subscribed and will be watching some of your other videos, like the one on Chris Brown (I used to also love that song, but I haven’t been able to listen to it in a long time because of his problematic past)
Blake ruined the whole movie. I'm so sad about this.
As a "Michigander"as we say😂 I can confirm the winter sucks and is depressing..but it can be fun if you ski or snow shoe etc..the summer and fall is pretty magical here..best beaches, camping etc. The Upper Peninsula is so mystical and beautiful🌅
Marquette is my favorite! I loved going up there in the fall 😍
@gabbykolakowski I love Marquette 😍Presque Isle is gorgeous
I think them saying she didn’t read the book is more about how 1. She’s trying to take this movie over and get the rights to something she never cared to invest herself in and 2. It’s about a serious topic, just wanted her to understand the impact fulness of the book and the message. So her lack of connection to the story and motive shows because she never even choose to invest herself from the beginning
i so hope Justin won't settle. A CLEAR message needs to be sent that no matter WHO you are...even DEADPOOL...this crap isn't ok!!!
Imagine if she treated Woody Allen like that. Can't believe how much she bullied Justin Baldoni.
Kendall what a skinny legend. My 3rd daughter is about to turn 1 and im going to lose the weight again. You inspire me.
The image of Kendall drinking Stella on a Monday morning. You know it's January when that sounds like a good idea 😂
I believe Blake undeniably gave the impression of flirtiness, friendship, power, and the potential for a deeper business relationship with Justin. This was all a calculated move to seize control! She manipulated him so she could be in the spotlight as the 🌟STAR, Powerful Woman Director, and business mogul! When Justin caught on she found another way, making him a villain and making herself a strong victim. It’s truly alarming that someone would consciously ruin another person’s life just to gain power. If Taylor Swift associates with someone like Blake, it raises serious questions about her character.
Or Blake befriends Taylor so she can use her. I think it’s interesting Taylor hasn’t publicly supported Blake in this feud. Will be interesting to see how that plays out
I 100% get why her reading the book was brought up. Like you guys said she wanted to take control and had no clue the inner workings of this book. She wanted her character to wear designer clothes and hand bangs and if she would have read the book she would know that’s not how her character is portrayed. I think the difference between her and other actors who don’t read the books from who/what they are portraying is that they actually do some homework regarding their characters and it seems Blake didn’t at all.
Song is called "My Tears Ricochet"
Blake is really giving “MoOoOoM tHeY aRe HuRtInG mY fEeLiNgSsSsS!” 😂😂
Happy to see you guys ♥️ missed you last week Kendall ♥️
I’ve been anticipating for your guys’ input in alllllll of this!
Am I the only one wondering if maybe Blake had a postpartum mental slip? I haven't had a kid, but I know the chemistry can cause some crazy paranoia and such.
I don't think Blake's career can be ended. She is EXTREMELY well connected in Hollywood thru her family. But, I think this situation highlights some flaws in the "believe all women" movement. I have always thought "trust and verify" is a better approach. Basically, it's fine to believe ANYONE who comes forward (not gender specific), in fact you should. AND, no one sb demonized without some sort of proof.
I believe he brought up the fact that she didn’t read the book because a lot of her first claims were that he did not stick to the book.
I live in CRAAAAAZY NW FL and I saw snow for the first time in life last week at age 37 🎉 ⛄️ it was utterly magical!! But tonight, we’re at a decent 54 😊
Same here in South Louisiana!! It was amazing!!
Happy Sesh Day!!🎉❤
I kept seeing little pieces here and there about this and so ima just say THANK YOU for breaking it down and making it so simple and easy to understand 😭🙏🏼
I like that you guys changed your mind about who’s at fault in this case . I like that you’re not stuck in one way or the other. 👏
I don’t think you owe an apology. You thought one thing based on what we were seeing in popular media that is considered “accurate” or “fact”. Who can blame you. As time passes I’ve noticed that many of these “factual and accurate media sources” can be easily bought out and influenced by those with much fame and money. Thank you for being reasonable and open minded as usual .
Great episode ❤ love the deep dives!
Thanks!
Michigan has been getting tamer every year. The last few days have been sunny and warmer but last week was in the negatives. I still take my dog out in the winters when it’s 25-30 degrees. The winters can be tough but I will say summer in northern Michigan is one of the most beautiful places in the world. The Great Lakes are so big it’s basically a fresh water ocean and it is like living on the coast. There’s also mini mountains here and dunes in northern Michigan. I do think I will end up being a snow bird at some point, I don’t think I can ever really leave Michigan for good but definitely the winters can be tough.
i love that you girls cover the new in such a fun and more girly talk way it makes it fun to listen to news with you! 🥰✨
We’re all here, and I’m queer. And I’m not just saying that, it’s true. Good to see you ladies!❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Guys get up the sesh girls are back! 🧚🏼♀️
Reading the book MATTERS! She TOOK OVER not only fashion for the film, but re-writing parts of the script (having her "dragons" peer/pressure and influence it being applied), marketing, the music and score, editing and producing (all of which was already decided on) without having read the book!?!?! WTH!!!. As an avid reader, GTFOH!!! She minimized the THEME - DV - BUT promoted FASHION, HAIR LINE AND DRINK LINE. Come on guys!!! ***EYE ROLL** The whole "I'll give you my location," smart A comment to the journalist asking how she would reply to DV victim who approached her looking for help or advice, showed me EXACTLY who she is!!! I bet she'd give them her business card for her hair line or drink line though.
Sheeeeesh. I love how you guys share everything from both sides. Thanks for your hard work ❤
Bee Better guy was almost canceled due to his critiques of Kamala Harris and her presidential campaign.
Wonder how much their opinion will change about him after they follow up on his personal/political views.
Absolutely love these early sessions!!!! 🎉❤
Well… I live in Perth, Western Australia. It is the most isolated major city in the world. Our beaches are incredible, the lifestyle is laid back and our weather the majority of the time is pristine. Our winters aren’t overly cold.. but our summers are insanely hot. Last few days it’s been 41 degrees celsius (105F) and it’s too hot to do anything. But when our sea breeze comes in in the afternoon/evening.. it’s tolerable. Also we have some amazing sunsets over here and 3 hour flight to Bali! It’s cheaper for us in Perth to fly to Bali, Indonesia than fly to Sydney (in the same country). So most of peoples family holidays are in Bali!
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but apparently “Gordon Reynolds” is thanked in the end credits of It Ends With Us.
