Taylor Swift has been dragged into 9 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 3: this drama. In case you need a quick REFRESHM yes, please, 10 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: it ends with us. This is the movie that came 11 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 3: out last year, starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. He 12 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 3: also directed it. It's based on this book by Colleen Hoover, 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 3: and it follows this tumultuous DV relationship. It's actually a 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 3: pretty good movie, but unfortunately no one's talking about that. 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 3: We're talking about this legal dispute. So in December twenty 16 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 3: twenty four, Blake Lively filed this complaint, a civil complaint 17 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: suing co star Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 3: hostile work environment. Some awful stuff came out at the 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 3: time about allegations about his behavior on set, but then 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: he countersued in January filed a four hundred million dollar 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 3: lawsuit against Blake Lively, but not only her, also her husband, 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds. They're publicist accusing them of civil extortion, defamation, 23 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 3: invasion of privacy, and it's been this whole he said, 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 3: she said, fallout. No one's really come out looking any better. 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: No one's coming out of this unscathed. But Taylor Swift's 26 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: involvement had always been kind of rumored. She's a good 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 3: friend of Blake Lively, she's best he's with Blake Lively. 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: She's the godmother of the three daughters of Blake Lively 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: and Ryan Reynolds. She's not a defendant in the lawsuit, 30 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: but she is being called on by Justin Baldoni's team 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 3: to appear as a witness. So the rumors are that 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: there was this famous rewrite of a rooftop scene. The 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 3: rooftop scene in the movie is when the Blake Lively 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 3: and Justin Baldoni characters first meet, and it's part of 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: all the legal jargon matter, whole Fallout thing, because Justin 36 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: Baldoni alleges that Blake Lively rewrote the whole thing unfairly, 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: and that Taylor Swift was involved in the rewrite, that 38 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: she was present at a meeting at her apartment that 39 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: were all there and Justin Baldoni felt pressured because she's 40 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: a big famous star. She was at home and so 41 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: he thought, oh, okay, I have to say yes to 42 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: all of these rewrites. Blake Lively says that never happened 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: to Taylor Swift wasn't in the room. She arrived at 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: the apartment as Justin Baldoni was leaving. There's also allegations 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: that Taylor Swift might have been involved in the casting 46 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: of the film, that she helped the girl who plays 47 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: the young Blake Lively in the movie, that she helped 48 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 3: her get the part. 49 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: So is this part of the allegation is that she 50 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: over Justin Baldoni as the producer as the director of 51 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: the film is saying that Blake Lively overstepped the mark 52 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: of just being an actress in it. 53 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that she essentially kind of used her power 54 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: and her influence to change the direction of the film 55 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: and that that wasn't what she was hired to do. 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: She was an actress, not a director on the movie. 57 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: Taylor Swift isn't being accused of anything. She's just being 58 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: called on to come and give her version of events 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 3: about what went down. But we've got some two blistering 60 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 3: statements over the weekend from both Blake Lively's team and 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: Taylor Swift's team. The Swift Statements statement says that Taylor 62 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: Swift never set foot on the film set of this movie. 63 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: She was not involved in any casting or creative decisions. 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: She didn't score the film, she didn't see an edit 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: or make any notes. She didn't even see it until 66 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: weeks after its public release, as she was traveling around 67 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: the globe during twenty twenty three and twenty four headlining 68 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: the biggest tour in history. 69 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Good alibi, fair enough, She's got a good alibi. 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: Blake Lively's team have said that Justin Baldoni continues to 71 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: turn a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into entertainment 72 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: for the tabloids, going as far as suggesting that they 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: sell tickets to a concert venue to witness this depositions Swift, 74 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: a woman who's given a voice to millions all over 75 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: the world. This is a very serious legal matter, not 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: a circus. So both of those statements have this theme 77 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: that you know, Justin Baldoni and his lawyers are trying 78 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: to just peddle this as a big publicity stunt, but 79 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 3: that it's much more serious than that, that there's a 80 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: sexual harassment case at the center of all of this 81 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: that should see the light of day, and that this 82 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: is all a big, major distraction in this movie. 83 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: Has it become more and more successful because of the 84 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: controversy around it, because for me, I don't actually want 85 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: to see it because of this. 86 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm the same I wouldn't be able to see it 87 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: without hearing all of this in my head. 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: It's really unfortunate because you can't watch it without analyzing 89 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: the interactions between the two. And it has to be said, 90 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in this movie, I think 91 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 3: they have incredible chemistry. 92 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,119 Speaker 1: Because I couldn't watch that because that's not the truth. 93 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: Well, it's distracting because you think, wow, you guys are 94 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: pretty good actors, because we know you absolutely hate each 95 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: other's guts, but like in this movie, you do seem 96 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: quite into each other, so that is convincing. It's a 97 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: shame because you know, at the end of the day, 98 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 3: the movie has this really powerful message about coosive control 99 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 3: and domestic violence and these relationships and how a vulnerable 100 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: person can seem to have it all on the outside, 101 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: but you know behind closed doors, there's this messed up 102 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: stuff happening. But that's you know, completely gone out of 103 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: the conversation because we have this big Hollywood circus and 104 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: no one is innocent here, I think, is my takeaway. 105 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: I think everyone's done shady stuff. I don't think there 106 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: are people that necessarily have the best intentions. 107 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: Maybe we just canceled. They should both cancel each other out. 108 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what they're trying to do. It feels 109 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: like they're going to go until there's nothing left. But 110 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 3: unfortunately it never ends with us because the trial is 111 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 3: scheduled to commence in March twenty twenty six. Oh so 112 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: we'll probably be talking about it again. 113 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 2: At least, you know, with Amanda and myself, you get 114 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: what you see. 115 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: It's you get what you see. 116 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: You get what you see and you hear. It's an 117 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: enduring friendship. 118 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: My favorite thing about radio is you get what you see. 119 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: No one sees anything, which is why it's so incredible. 120 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: Exactly sake you En and Lesbie from The Daily Odds
