We’re listening to the Daily Roundup, part of the Reality C Podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thanks everyone for watching. We’re going to talk more about what’s going on back and forth between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Based on her complaint, his attorneys are apparently preparing to launch a countersuit against her.
Blake’s publicist spoke out. A lot happened. Sheena Shay speaks publicly about James Kennedy for the first time. “Squidward 2” premieres on Friday. I witnessed the whole incident. Tell you what I think without giving away any major spoilers. I might tell a story about a person. com, they went to Reddit again, found something there, and posted a story about it on the front page.
I don’t know if this is true, I might get an email reader email from you guys. We’ll get to all this later. So, this week, I’m going to be doing my weekly podcast on Thursday, January 2nd. Why do I think it is number one? Anyway, I had recorded some stuff with Dave Neal.
I’m on Dave’s podcast. This will be out later this week, but I’m also going to be running it as my podcast on Thursday because again it’s going to be really hard to get anyone on board this week. Dave was always willing to come on, but I did his and I just thought, okay, I’m not going to call you right back and record something for me.
Great conversation. Spent about 10 or 15 minutes talking about my dating life, or lack thereof. And some reasons behind it and some good stuff. Talk a lot about parties. So there’s a lot of good stuff in there. This will happen on Thursday. That’s done. So just wanted to give you a heads up.
OK Let’s talk a little more about Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, because Justin Baldoni’s lawyer came out and said, if we file a countersuit, we’re going to kick Blake Lively away, no, no, no. They’re the ones who are rolling it out. Defamation campaigns against our clients. Like, I knew this was coming.
I know that’s exactly what his team is saying. No, no, no, no. She is doing PR work. Blake Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloan denies the report, saying she made up false stories in the media What’s involved? The filming continues behind the scenes and ends with our take.
Apparently he was going to hit back at Sue, and after the holidays, Blake Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloan denied that she was trying to tarnish her image. Justin Baldoni earned his reputation by leaking stories to the media, which is exactly what Black said in her complaint, that’s what he did. She said that on August 11, Melissa Nathan’s sister, Sarah Nathan, contacted me and forwarded an anonymous tip Page Six had received regarding the alleged human resources complaint on the set. .
I have since been contacted by multiple media outlets regarding the allegations in the HR complaint. When we contacted, I responded to Wayfarer or Sony with information about the HR complaint. Clearly, Mr. Baldoni and his Wayfarer colleagues were wrong to suggest that I originated the news story about the HR complaint on set.
Please read Ms. Lively’s complaint and the complaint filed by Jones Works LLC and Stephanie Jones, which provide details of the activity against my client. So I guess we’ll have to wait until Justin Baldoni’s attorneys file a countersuit against Black to see if he has proof of this or if this is just speculation.
Because at least during the time Blake complained, she showed us emails and text messages. Now, if you look at what Leslie Sloan said in this statement. You may want to review the complaint filed by JonesWorks LLC. JonesWorks LLC also publishes more content. JonesWorks is a public relations firm based in Los Angeles.
Jennifer Abel is one of the people who works at JonesWorks. Jennifer Abel takes on Justin Baldoni. Work at Jones. Well, Jennifer Abel didn’t get along well, I think her name was Stephanie Jones, the founder of Jones Works PR, and Jennifer Abel worked for her, but Didn’t get along well with her. So Stephanie fired her.
And say, oh, by the way, you know, your last day is going to be your last day. Jennifer Abel discussed the smear campaign against Black in all of her text messages and emails in the week before she left Jones Public Relations. Popular articles by Stephanie Jones.
And that basically goes back to the fact that this Jennifer Abel girl is leaving. Now we know for sure, because remember the main question when all this came out was, how on earth did Blake’s people and Blake’s attorneys get hold of all of these text messages and emails from Justin Baldoni?
Well, obviously it comes from the Jones factory. They had to subpoena it, but Jennifer Abel left Jones to start her own business, basically throwing her former boss under the bus. Well, the old boss has receipts. So we know how it happens. Lo and behold, this will continue. This is not a story that is going away anytime soon.
We’ve already discussed this. Allegedly, we’re going to get this counterclaim next, where Justin Baldoni is going to go back on Sue Blake Lively and say, no, no, no, she started a random smear campaign against me. And, but Blake’s publicist has stood in front of him and said, no, he hasn’t. We definitely didn’t do that.
“Again, I always said there was going to be a lot to the smear campaign,” she said. “Black provided the receipts, but now they’re saying there’s no context and there’s more to it.” Well, we’ll have to wait until he countersues. But one thing seems indisputable. This was something she complained about on set during the strike.
She said, listen, I’m not going back to the set until these parameters are in place. These protections were put in place for Justin and the executive, whose names are now forgotten by My Wayfarer, until they changed their behavior on set. These protective devices need to be installed. Now, I don’t know if this means she’s quitting or never joining the film again.
Justin agreed. If he says none of this happened, then we’re like 30 things she asked about behavior on set. If Justin hadn’t done anything, any of these things, beforehand, why would he have agreed to do this? Why did he agree to this rule? I feel very strange. Minus the whole PR back and forth smear campaign they both claimed.
This can be difficult. I think you’re going to lose a lot of people because Team Justin is going to be like, no, no, no. Look, Blake did this to him, and Team Blake is like, no, no, no. He did this to her and until we see what’s in it, if they have any proof or they’re just claiming they thought they knew Blake’s PR team was trying to smear Justin, thinking he’d lose a lot of people, but you’re really, You’re not going to lose a lot of people over the way she claims she was treated on set.
So I think. Like I said, this story is far from over and more will come to light, but I also do think that Atlas Corrigan, Brandon’s cleaner, came to her defense It’s a big deal. Jenny Slater came to her defence. With the exception of “The Traveler,” no one in the movie has come to Justin Bardoni’s defense.
He is the director of the film and owns the rights to the books. Colleen Hoover has yet to come out in support of Justin Baldoni. So he’s oh, for the three big names in that movie, either the writer who wrote the book or the two main co-stars haven’t come out to support him yet.
So it looks like they know what to do. Continuing to be on set, it was really hard for him. Shea Shea speaks publicly for the first time since James Kennedy’s arrest. She said I did what she said on the podcast on Friday. as a result of.
So I’ve talked to Ellie. I’m in constant contact with her, I always am, but I know that if I stay silent, you’re all going to seem to think I’m supporting his behavior, which I absolutely disagree with, and she said she knew about Kennedy, and she, she took it from there She also learned about Kennedy through his past relationships.
‘Obviously Raquel and I have been very close over the years,’ she said. Although she always told me that James was never physically abusive, it was known that the abuse was not limited to the physical abuse but ultimately led to her. Exit that relationship. I feel so much sympathy for her. I want to do whatever I can to help her and give her a safe space.
And she said, look, I want James to think of this as a rock bottom moment and seriously commit to a treatment plan instead of just seeing it as something that’s going to ruin a world tour or a residency or whatever. I noticed that his name has been removed from some shows as a direct result of his actions.
That’s what I said at the beginning of all this. Once it came out, it was like, look, he can apologize all he wants, even though he didn’t even apologize. Because I guess apologizing is acknowledging that you did something, but he said he was going to work on getting better, needed to stay awake better, that sort of thing.
Again, these are just words. If he doesn’t try hard and the behavior continues, that’s okay. For those of you who have been following James for much longer than I’m telling you, this isn’t the first time he’s had to come out and talk about his behavior. And said he would be fine. So, yeah, he lost a lot of credibility with some viewers and no one believed it.
It’s like time will tell. This didn’t happen overnight. Is this guy’s sobriety gone? Yes, did he relapse, but he has to change his behavior and he should think, oh, crap. Now I don’t have any job. I don’t have Vanderpump Rules. Fountain blue disqualified me and I was no longer a DJ there.
Does he only get local gigs? Is everyone hiring him for future jobs? Did they all disinvite him? I don’t know yet. It looks like the Vegas residency is over, but as a DJ like him, I guess he already has some New Year’s gigs lined up, right? Was he kicked out of the circle? Has he been cancelled?
I don’t know, but yeah, he should definitely look at it as more of a man. I need to cheer up instead of, oh, crap. Where will I get my next paycheck? Where is my next DJ gig?
