1
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: So Blake Lively has gone through it. Recently, she was

2
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: promoting this movie that is about domestic violence, and she

3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: used this opportunity as a time to monetize her hair

4
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: care and her alcohol line. Now this didn't land because

5
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: it was very toned off and insensitive to domestic violence.

6
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: She wasn't really talking about the issue the matter at hand,

7
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: and instead people went to the movie thinking it was

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: a rom com because she was saying, where your florals,

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: grab your girlfriends and go see this movie. And it's

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: a very disturbing movie. So it really hit sideways, and

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: it made me realize that what's going on is these

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: classic celebrities post old Hollywood. Old Hollywood was individual actresses

13
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: owned by so post old Hollywood actresses were just actresses.

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: They're paid for movies, they're paid for TV. They might

15
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: do a commercial, But having their own brands, which is

16
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: something that I started by monetizing reality TV, is something newer.

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: So someone like Blake Lively is not savvy about marketing

18
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: a haircare line, an alcohol line, and also messaging her

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: core business, which is an actress and the subject matter

20
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: of this movie. In addition, she was marketing her husband's

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: movie and they were cross promoting and making jokes about

22
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he had a movie launching the same

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: weekend and that he had written I think a scene

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: in her movie, and it just landed like a bag

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: of shit, and I did a TikTok saying, if you

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: try to fit twenty five pounds a shit in a

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: five pound bag, the bag's going to explode and you'll

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: have shit all over you. I also said that these

29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: modern day actresses have archaic teams because the teams do

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: not know how to navigate the truth tellers and truth

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: detect of twenty twenty four on social media, which is

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: king now. So Mark Cuban said it. He said, it's

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: streamers for old people. Cable television is a dying breed.

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: This is direct to consumer entertainment, when you are just

35
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: giving the content directly to the people. But these classic

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: actresses who are groomed and measured and polished and prepped

37
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: and questions are eliminated with reporters and they are handled

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: and they have someone holding their hand on a red carpet.

39
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: They are not prepared for the twenty twenty four modern

40
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: day social media model. So Blake Lively has been getting dragged.

41
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: I had posted a video about it being unjustified, but

42
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: to be honest, because I had spoken to one person

43
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: who said very nice things, but to be perfectly honest,

44
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: some other people did say that based on all these years,

45
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's some version of a come up. So

46
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: it's just been a challenging time for a classic actress

47
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: to be trying to maneuver the modern day era and entertainment.

48
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: This happened with Jennifer Lopez as well. Jennifer Lopez was

49
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: launching Skincare, alcohol, two movies, a musical tour, an album,

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: and a relationship and be a parent. So that's seventy

51
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: five pounds of shit in a five pound bag and

52
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: it blew up on her too. It's not for the weary,

53
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: this modern day citizens journalism, like they will cut a bitch,

54
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: they do not play and they go they're out for

55
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: blood and it's a different world, like I don't. This

56
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: was one of the rare things where it came into

57
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the mainstream. So the mainstream media was reporting on this

58
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: situation with Blake Lively and castmates had to weigh in,

59
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: and you know, it just was the perfect storm. And

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: someone I spoke to said, this is her turn you know,

61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: And these are women who have been celebrated for their fashion,

62
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: for their beauty, for their perfection. I mean, Anna Wintour

63
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: has had both of these women hosting the mech Gal

64
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. So these women have been

65
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: at the very very top at the dais. I mean,

66
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: the pedestal couldn't be more elevated. And Blake Lively is

67
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: on the cover of Vogue in September, and that will

68
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. I mean, maybe this is just

69
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: affecting sales. Maybe her hair care is sold out, Maybe

70
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: she sells more magazines than anyone's ever done, like Kim

71
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: and Kanye, did you know, Because by this at the

72
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: same time, disruption sells. So she may just be entering

73
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: into the dark side. She may just not be like

74
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: perfect and pristine anymore. And now she's crossed over to

75
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: the dark side where social media is about being flawed

76
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: and authentic and connecting, being honest, accountable, you know, not

77
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: just like hiding behind your team and the walls of

78
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the media being really forthcoming. It's like the social media

79
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: revolution is here, and if you don't understand this new

80
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: technology and the way things happen now, you'll be archaic.

81
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: You won't know how to operate in this world. If

82
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: I were Blake Lively, immediately, I would have said, I

83
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: messed up. I messed up. I'm human. I haven't been

84
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 1: perfect in every interview in the past or the present.

85
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I've been under pressure. Maybe I tried to do

86
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: too much. I want to be successful, I want to

87
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: build a business, and I have all these different brands,

88
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: and I was excited, and I don't like to leave

89
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: my kids that much. I had hair and makeup on

90
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: and my glam on, and I've always been celebrated for fashion,

91
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: and that's often what people want from me. So I

92
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: led with that, and I should have led with the

93
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: importance of this cause. And it's my bad. I made

94
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a mistake. And I'm going to donate all the profits

95
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: from my profits meeting hers, from the hair care and

96
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: the alcohol during this period of time to domestic violence

97
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: because i made a mistake. And I'm human, And you

98
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: know what, I haven't always been great, but there's always

99
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: the future, and I need to be a better example

100
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: for my kids, and I'm going to do things differently

101
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: from now on. This is a wake up call, and

102
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for me to make a change.

103
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Love you all, thank you for supporting me. Sorry if

104
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: I disappointed you. Sorry to myself, storry, my family started,

105
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: my fans, start at my kids. Keep it moving. It's

106
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: amazing how difficult it is for people to just be

107
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: really forthcoming and just like direct. It's hard for them

108
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: because they're afraid to get like jammed up in another problem.

109
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes that happens. Sometimes you apologize and you get you

110
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: get deeper in the shit. Arguably, the teams are saying,

111
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: just shut up and let it pass, because that's that's

112
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: a strategy too. Shut up. The storm is here, but

113
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: it's somebody else's turn next. Someone else will get in

114
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: trouble next week, and then they'll get the edible arrangement

115
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: because they took the heat off us many many ways.

116
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: But I watched it like a like a car crash

117
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: in slow motion, being like, oh God, from the beginning,

118
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: they're going to come in, They're not gonna stop. This

119
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: is what's going on with celebrities in twenty twenty four.

120
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: For years, celebrities have given us the frosting. We've been

121
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: the dummies that just get fed the sweet, easy to

122
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: digest frosting. About oh, Yay, we're in love. Look what

123
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: he bought me. Thoughts and prayers, respect our privacy, or like,

124
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: let me just show you this. This is what I'm doing.

125
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: We have a perfect life. Here's my Instagram all that.

126
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: That's when we get the frosting. People now in twenty

127
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: twenty four, demand the cake. Who are you really? We

128
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: don't want just the frosting. We don't even care if

129
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the cake doesn't taste as good as the frosting, but

130
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: we want the whole cake. We want the cake, We

131
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: want the frosting. We want the whole bite. We want

132
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: to know what it tastes like. We want to know

133
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: who you are under the hood. We want to know

134
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: what your paint job looks like. Outside of the car,

135
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: we want to know what the interior smells like. We

136
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: want to know how the radio works. We want to

137
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: know how this thing drives. We want to know how

138
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: this think and handle something when it's bad. Have this

139
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: think and handle a storm. We want to know how

140
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: this car can handle an accident like we want. I

141
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: went from one went from the cake to the car.

142
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: But we want the whole thing. We want the cake

143
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: and the frosting, and we want the whole car inside

144
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: and out. That's how people are with celebrities, and celebrities

145
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: have gotten away with only giving us the frosting. And

146
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: that's why most celebrities are terrified and hiding down to

147
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: the act to a to after
