Transcript

00:00Justin Valdoni and Blake Lively. Can we say good night and good luck to this story?

00:05We we can't because remember they they do have a trial date set for next March or next February

00:12Wait an entire year

00:14If it ends up going that far, but there were new filings in this case

00:19And basically this was all about this was Justin's

00:23Response to Blake's motion to dismiss remember she and Ryan Reynolds have both filed

00:28Motions to be dismissed from

00:30Justin's lawsuit and

00:33Justin is as you would expect opposing it on the grounds that it is

00:38His First Amendment right to drag her into court and defend himself

00:43He said his attorney Brian Friedman told us miss lively and her circle of Hollywood elites cannot prevent my clients from exercising

00:51their

00:52Constitutional right to petition the court to clear their names from her false and harmful claims

00:58So you have him invoking the Constitution saying that this is his First Amendment right to do this

01:04And therefore you cannot throw this case out. Well, I

01:10Think Blake Lively's attorneys were licking their chops when they saw Brian Friedman referenced the Constitution

01:16They said that's right

01:18Justin Baldoni believes that the First Amendment rights of victims of sexual assault and harassment to speak out

01:26Should give way to the rights of perpetrators to sue their victims quote into oblivion. Okay, which was something that

01:34That had been said by Justin's producing partner

01:39Yeah, it's remarkable there's a lot of ink spilled in these court documents between the lawyers

01:44But really it's just a vessel for the the two lawyers to get out and spar in public in this way

01:49And one touting the First Amendment the other saying how dare you silence victims?

01:53I'm a victim raised a sexual harassment claim and you're trying to silence me how ironic it's really just a war of words

02:00The the lawsuit is such a sideshow at this point. It's just an opportunity for Brian Friedman to tell his side again

02:06Can either one of them really work effectively while this is all going on?

02:11Because if they were she have a project I mean would they be able to promote it would they be able to talk I mean

02:17I don't know things that Blake is

02:19working and it has been the sequel to

02:23Simple Favor and

02:25She has you know promoting it has been a challenge. Obviously. She doesn't want to get a bunch of questions about this, right?

02:32So you're right. It does make it difficult to promote something else

02:35Justin is not working and says that he's essentially been pushed out of Hollywood because remember he got dropped by his agency, right?

02:44Which was the same agency as Ryan Reynolds, so he feels like this is the campaign to shut him down

02:49Which is why he is pushing

02:52non-stop to get this kid thing in the court and he might have a little bit more success in coming back because he has his

02:57Own production company because he's his own director because he's written a lot of stuff himself

03:03He may have some power in creating stuff for himself that other actors

03:07Then he's got to get people to finance him right and to find and bring on the team

03:15The harder Blake Lively tries to revive her career the worse it backfires on her

03:21She needs to stop playing a victim. She's not a victim

03:25You can't just clear your name after trying to destroy an innocent man

03:30We all want just justice for Justin Baldoni

03:35And we want the director's cut

03:37We want to see his cut from the movie and in my opinion

03:40Amber Heard could come back to the States because she beat her out of this. So so were you a Justin Baldoni fan before this?

03:48No, I didn't even

03:50I never even read the book until like later. I when I saw the movie and this all came out

03:57And then I researched it was all on tik-tok and I couldn't believe it like

04:03He was like he was he's such a good man. You could tell and

04:07The way they they treat he the way she treat not only her but her husband Ryan

04:13That was ridiculous and he's innocent and I think both of their careers are over and they're just trying to

04:20Well, I think that is definitely hyperbole to say that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds careers are over

04:27Far from that, but you're right. It does seem on tik-tok. Justin Baldoni's winning problem is tik-tok is not a court of law

04:34Yeah

04:34but she brings up

04:35Amber Heard and Johnny Depp and so much of that played out on tik-tok too which drove a lot of the interest in the whole

04:41thing
