Speaker 1: So Blake Lively has gone through it. Recently, she was
Speaker 1: promoting this movie that is about domestic violence, and she
Speaker 1: used this opportunity as a time to monetize her hair
Speaker 1: care and her alcohol line. Now this didn't land because
Speaker 1: it was very toned off and insensitive to domestic violence.
Speaker 1: She wasn't really talking about the issue the matter at hand,
Speaker 1: and instead people went to the movie thinking it was
Speaker 1: a rom com because she was saying, where your florals,
Speaker 1: grab your girlfriends and go see this movie. And it's
Speaker 1: a very disturbing movie. So it really hit sideways, and
Speaker 1: it made me realize that what's going on is these
Speaker 1: classic celebrities post old Hollywood. Old Hollywood was individual actresses
Speaker 1: owned by so post old Hollywood actresses were just actresses.
Speaker 1: They're paid for movies, they're paid for TV. They might
Speaker 1: do a commercial, But having their own brands, which is
Speaker 1: something that I started by monetizing reality TV, is something newer.
Speaker 1: So someone like Blake Lively is not savvy about marketing
Speaker 1: a haircare line, an alcohol line, and also messaging her
Speaker 1: core business, which is an actress and the subject matter
Speaker 1: of this movie. In addition, she was marketing her husband's
Speaker 1: movie and they were cross promoting and making jokes about
Speaker 1: the fact that he had a movie launching the same
Speaker 1: weekend and that he had written I think a scene
Speaker 1: in her movie, and it just landed like a bag
Speaker 1: of shit, and I did a TikTok saying, if you
Speaker 1: try to fit twenty five pounds a shit in a
Speaker 1: five pound bag, the bag's going to explode and you'll
Speaker 1: have shit all over you. I also said that these
Speaker 1: modern day actresses have archaic teams because the teams do
Speaker 1: not know how to navigate the truth tellers and truth
Speaker 1: detect of twenty twenty four on social media, which is
Speaker 1: king now. So Mark Cuban said it. He said, it's
Speaker 1: streamers for old people. Cable television is a dying breed.
Speaker 1: This is direct to consumer entertainment, when you are just
Speaker 1: giving the content directly to the people. But these classic
Speaker 1: actresses who are groomed and measured and polished and prepped
Speaker 1: and questions are eliminated with reporters and they are handled
Speaker 1: and they have someone holding their hand on a red carpet.
Speaker 1: They are not prepared for the twenty twenty four modern
Speaker 1: day social media model. So Blake Lively has been getting dragged.
Speaker 1: I had posted a video about it being unjustified, but
Speaker 1: to be honest, because I had spoken to one person
Speaker 1: who said very nice things, but to be perfectly honest,
Speaker 1: some other people did say that based on all these years,
Speaker 1: you know, it's some version of a come up. So
Speaker 1: it's just been a challenging time for a classic actress
Speaker 1: to be trying to maneuver the modern day era and entertainment.
Speaker 1: This happened with Jennifer Lopez as well. Jennifer Lopez was
Speaker 1: launching Skincare, alcohol, two movies, a musical tour, an album,
Speaker 1: and a relationship and be a parent. So that's seventy
Speaker 1: five pounds of shit in a five pound bag and
Speaker 1: it blew up on her too. It's not for the weary,
Speaker 1: this modern day citizens journalism, like they will cut a bitch,
Speaker 1: they do not play and they go they're out for
Speaker 1: blood and it's a different world, like I don't. This
Speaker 1: was one of the rare things where it came into
Speaker 1: the mainstream. So the mainstream media was reporting on this
Speaker 1: situation with Blake Lively and castmates had to weigh in,
Speaker 1: and you know, it just was the perfect storm. And
Speaker 1: someone I spoke to said, this is her turn you know,
Speaker 1: And these are women who have been celebrated for their fashion,
Speaker 1: for their beauty, for their perfection. I mean, Anna Wintour
Speaker 1: has had both of these women hosting the mech Gal
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. So these women have been
Speaker 1: at the very very top at the dais. I mean,
Speaker 1: the pedestal couldn't be more elevated. And Blake Lively is
Speaker 1: on the cover of Vogue in September, and that will
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. I mean, maybe this is just
Speaker 1: affecting sales. Maybe her hair care is sold out, Maybe
Speaker 1: she sells more magazines than anyone's ever done, like Kim
Speaker 1: and Kanye, did you know, Because by this at the
Speaker 1: same time, disruption sells. So she may just be entering
Speaker 1: into the dark side. She may just not be like
Speaker 1: perfect and pristine anymore. And now she's crossed over to
Speaker 1: the dark side where social media is about being flawed
Speaker 1: and authentic and connecting, being honest, accountable, you know, not
Speaker 1: just like hiding behind your team and the walls of
Speaker 1: the media being really forthcoming. It's like the social media
Speaker 1: revolution is here, and if you don't understand this new
Speaker 1: technology and the way things happen now, you'll be archaic.
Speaker 1: You won't know how to operate in this world. If
Speaker 1: I were Blake Lively, immediately, I would have said, I
Speaker 1: messed up. I messed up. I'm human. I haven't been
Speaker 1: perfect in every interview in the past or the present.
Speaker 1: Maybe I've been under pressure. Maybe I tried to do
Speaker 1: too much. I want to be successful, I want to
Speaker 1: build a business, and I have all these different brands,
Speaker 1: and I was excited, and I don't like to leave
Speaker 1: my kids that much. I had hair and makeup on
Speaker 1: and my glam on, and I've always been celebrated for fashion,
Speaker 1: and that's often what people want from me. So I
Speaker 1: led with that, and I should have led with the
Speaker 1: importance of this cause. And it's my bad. I made
Speaker 1: a mistake. And I'm going to donate all the profits
Speaker 1: from my profits meeting hers, from the hair care and
Speaker 1: the alcohol during this period of time to domestic violence
Speaker 1: because i made a mistake. And I'm human, And you
Speaker 1: know what, I haven't always been great, but there's always
Speaker 1: the future, and I need to be a better example
Speaker 1: for my kids, and I'm going to do things differently
Speaker 1: from now on. This is a wake up call, and
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for me to make a change.
Speaker 1: Love you all, thank you for supporting me. Sorry if
Speaker 1: I disappointed you. Sorry to myself, storry, my family started,
Speaker 1: my fans, start at my kids. Keep it moving. It's
Speaker 1: amazing how difficult it is for people to just be
Speaker 1: really forthcoming and just like direct. It's hard for them
Speaker 1: because they're afraid to get like jammed up in another problem.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that happens. Sometimes you apologize and you get you
Speaker 1: get deeper in the shit. Arguably, the teams are saying,
Speaker 1: just shut up and let it pass, because that's that's
Speaker 1: a strategy too. Shut up. The storm is here, but
Speaker 1: it's somebody else's turn next. Someone else will get in
Speaker 1: trouble next week, and then they'll get the edible arrangement
Speaker 1: because they took the heat off us many many ways.
Speaker 1: But I watched it like a like a car crash
Speaker 1: in slow motion, being like, oh God, from the beginning,
Speaker 1: they're going to come in, They're not gonna stop. This
Speaker 1: is what's going on with celebrities in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: For years, celebrities have given us the frosting. We've been
Speaker 1: the dummies that just get fed the sweet, easy to
Speaker 1: digest frosting. About oh, Yay, we're in love. Look what
Speaker 1: he bought me. Thoughts and prayers, respect our privacy, or like,
Speaker 1: let me just show you this. This is what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: We have a perfect life. Here's my Instagram all that.
Speaker 1: That's when we get the frosting. People now in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, demand the cake. Who are you really? We
Speaker 1: don't want just the frosting. We don't even care if
Speaker 1: the cake doesn't taste as good as the frosting, but
Speaker 1: we want the whole cake. We want the cake, We
Speaker 1: want the frosting. We want the whole bite. We want
Speaker 1: to know what it tastes like. We want to know
Speaker 1: who you are under the hood. We want to know
Speaker 1: what your paint job looks like. Outside of the car,
Speaker 1: we want to know what the interior smells like. We
Speaker 1: want to know how the radio works. We want to
Speaker 1: know how this thing drives. We want to know how
Speaker 1: this think and handle something when it's bad. Have this
Speaker 1: think and handle a storm. We want to know how
Speaker 1: this car can handle an accident like we want. I
Speaker 1: went from one went from the cake to the car.
Speaker 1: But we want the whole thing. We want the cake
Speaker 1: and the frosting, and we want the whole car inside
Speaker 1: and out. That's how people are with celebrities, and celebrities
Speaker 1: have gotten away with only giving us the frosting. And
Speaker 1: that's why most celebrities are terrified and hiding down to
Speaker 1: the act to a to after
