00:00So, we now have the lowdown, the poop, if you will, on...

00:04It ends with us.

00:05It ends with us, the feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

00:11Our co-star and the director of the film, and everyone involved in this film has said

00:16there is a very nasty feud between them, but no one was saying what it was.

00:21We now know what it was.

00:23Well, there are two main things.

00:25One, that during the shooting, Justin went to the trainer who was on set, by the way,

00:33a trainer for both him and Blake, and said, I have an upcoming scene where I have to pick

00:39Blake up, and I have back problems.

00:43He's had herniated discs.

00:44He's had all sorts of problems, and he said, how much does she weigh, and how do I protect

00:49myself so I don't re-injure my back?

00:52The trainer then went to Blake, and the way it was put to her, it seems, was, he's kind

00:59of fat-shaming you and asking you about your weight.

01:02He wanted to know how much you weigh.

01:04And then she's thinking, oh my God, I mean, I had a kid.

01:07About four or five months before that scene was being shot, so...

01:11And so the way she's viewing it is, oh, he's fat-shaming me.

01:15And what he had actually done was, and we're going to get to the second thing in a minute,

01:21but what he had actually done was, he was just trying to, now look, we both work out.

01:26And I will say, I've had a back problem at times.

01:28I'm very conscious.

01:29I'm much, much younger.

01:30I haven't.

01:31I'm very conscious when I do back exercises of how much weight I put on.

01:37And 10 pounds makes a difference.

01:39And I know where I should be and where I shouldn't.

01:42And I could understand if he's had back problems, and he doesn't know.

01:46He wants to protect himself.

01:47I get it.

01:48Right?

01:49He's the director of the film.

01:51If he doesn't protect himself, it's going to screw up the whole film.

01:52Right.

01:53So I get that from his point of view.

01:54I get it.

01:55I also get it from her point of view that the trainer comes to her and says, yeah, the

02:00guy in the love scene you're about to do wants to know how much you weigh.

02:03The trainer is the blaster here.

02:05Right.

02:06Absolutely.

02:07In no way is that going to go over well with a woman.

02:10When a man is inquiring about your weight, not to be like in a flattering way where it's

02:15like, oh, she's so thin, instead it's, I want to know how much she weighs because she might

02:19be a little too heavy for me.

02:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:23Because he's got back problems.

02:24Not from his perspective.

02:25Not from his perspective.

02:26But she's just not a kid like you mentioned.

02:29But also because he's the director, she might be thinking that he's asking for that reason.

02:34You know what I'm saying?

02:35Again, the trainer didn't give her the information.

02:38Didn't say fully, he's got back issues.

02:41He just wanted to know.

02:42Right.

02:43Right.

02:44If you say it that way, you could understand.

02:46It's not about somebody's body image or size.

02:50Right.

02:51It's not the director body shaming you.

02:52It's not your co-star saying you're too heavy for him to lift.

02:55Protect his back.

02:56I mean, at a point you may say, look, maybe I should use a weight belt or something underneath.

03:00I don't know.

03:01But any woman is going to be a little sensitive about that, especially coming off of just

03:05having your fourth child.

03:07You just had her fourth baby with Ryan Reynolds.

03:09Well, there's a difference between saying, hey, he wants to know how much you weigh versus

03:14he's got a back problem and he just wants to know the weight because he knows what his

03:18back can take.

03:19That's a huge difference.

03:20So that's one of the things.

03:22The other thing, again, it depends on your point of view.

03:26But the other thing had to do with a love scene that they were filming.

03:30And there was a kiss that, for Blake at least, it seemed that the kiss lingered a little

03:37too long than necessary for the scene.

03:40Now, I don't know, as actors, unless someone tells you exactly it's supposed to be three

03:47seconds or whatever it is and it's just up to you, then I can obviously that leaves a

03:54huge that leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

03:57Interpretation.

03:58Yeah.

03:59And you can see kind of both sides on this issue as well.

04:01She's maybe thinking like, OK, he's being a little inappropriate.

04:05The scene was clearly done.

04:06But then he could also be thinking, you know, he's not just the co-star.

04:10He's also the director.

04:11So maybe in his mind, he wants some extra, I don't know, whatever, pizzazz for that scene.

04:18And he did feel it was necessary.

04:19I will say, though, that if you're the director and you want something, you need to let the

04:22actors know that.

04:23Right.

04:24So I don't know if that's what happened.

04:25But there's also a lot of method acting.

04:26We also don't know.

04:27We also don't know how long how how extra was it for her.

04:31Was it half a second?

04:33Was it three seconds?

04:34Right.

04:35So, yeah.

04:36Well, that one's murky.

04:37Here's here's here's two things.

04:39All of this controversy may have actually helped the movie because the movie was number

04:44two in the box office behind Deadpool over the weekend.

04:47It is now number one this week during the week for the first two days of the week, first

04:51two days of the week.

04:52It's actually top Deadpool.

04:54Yeah.

04:55So in a way, it's helped.

04:56My second thing is a question.

04:57Who's winning this on social media?

05:00Blake or Justin?

05:01Yeah, definitely.

05:02Blake, for sure.

05:03But by the way, this is kind of the don't worry, darling situation.

05:07Right.

05:08So if you remember that movie, no one really cared to see it.

05:11But there was all this drama between the co-stars, Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Olivia Wilde.

05:16And everyone was talking about all that drama, which I'm sure was partly true, but also possibly

05:22embellished.

05:23And then it became so much publicity about the movie that the movie actually did pretty

05:27well.

05:28And this is kind of what people think.

05:30Also, that same scenario where maybe people weren't going to I mean, I've never heard

05:34of this movie before all this drama.

05:36And now I'm ready to go see it this weekend.

05:38By the way, I talked to a couple of people who said they thought Justin was winning on

05:44social media.

05:45Yeah.

05:46It always it always depends on who you're talking to.

05:47Right.

05:48But everybody much like politics, everybody's everybody's in their own silo.

05:52Right.

05:53Exactly.

05:54Hi, my name is Revette Soro.

05:55I'm in Los Angeles.

05:57And in my opinion, you have to be very sensitive when speaking to a woman about her weight,

06:02especially when a woman just had her fourth child.

06:06And I also think that Justin was trying to protect himself and protect Blake.

06:11If he picked her up and dropped her, that would be terrible for both of them.

06:14Two things.

06:15What you said was that you have to be careful when you talk to a woman about her weight.

06:19He didn't talk to her.

06:21Right.

06:22He talked to the trainer.

06:23The trainer decided to stir up the you know what, right?

06:26And but hold on.

06:27We should say for the trainers part, the trainer might not have done it on purpose and inadvertently

06:33stirred it up because the trainer didn't give all the information.

06:36I'm not buying that.

06:37I have a second.

06:38I know.

06:39I'm the second thing.

06:40I'm into that painting behind you.

06:41Oh, boy.

06:42I am into that painting.

06:43I like it.

06:44I really like it.

06:45I think Blake's feelings are valid.

06:47I think it may have been presented to her in maybe an offensive way from the trainer.

06:51I don't think Justin meant anything by it.

06:53And from what I've been seeing on social media in the beginning, people were supporting Blake

06:57more.

06:58But as the press tour goes on, Justin, I think, is speaking about the film more sensitively

07:03than Blake is.

07:04I think Blake has kind of been painting it to be like a cute rom-com, whereas Justin

07:07is speaking on the real issues of domestic violence in the film.

07:11And the tables are turning, in my opinion.

07:13I think Justin's getting a lot of support.

07:15That's exactly what I heard.

07:16People see the movie, I think, and they're like, wait a second.

07:17And they've asked Blake about it, and she hasn't embraced the domestic violence part.

07:22And she's getting some blowback for that.
