Transcript of EXCLUSIVE! Did Ryan Reynolds Extort Hollywood Execs? | Candace Ep 143

All right, you guys. Ryan Reynolds obviously has to be deported back to Canada. Once again, this is a way for the left and the right to come together because no matter where you stand on the topic of mass deportations of illegals, we can now all agree that the moral crimes committed here by Ryan Reynolds against Justin Baldoni have amounted to high treason. After having read through the amended lawsuit, Ryan absolutely must go home, and I have got some major scoops. I mean, everybody's talking because the sink is shipping and people want to get to Lifeboats. Let's jump right in. Welcome back to Candice.

They really did it, guys.

They dropped the website. It is thelawsuutinfo. Com. As promised by Justin Baldoni's team, they have chosen the path of radical transparency as their method of response here. We never see this. This never happens. Everything's behind closed doors through PR agents. He's just like, Here, we're going to play this in public. Just to be clear, they weren't the first to do this. It was Blake Lively, it was Ryan Reynolds. This was their strategy, and now they want to put the Genie back in the bottle. But guess what? The Genie does not want to go back in the bottle. The Genie likes to be free, okay? We're now all paying attention. I'm just going to very quickly, before I give you all of the tea that I got over the weekend, I'm going to go over the biggest revelation from the filing. I guess we'll just start with revelation number one, which was that we were totally correct about Ryan Reynolds. What is that like? A personality test. Is it called an enneagram personality type one through nine? Well, Ryan Reynolds on the Graham is a psycho. That's what he is. He's just a psycho. His number is psycho.

We had suspected, just by piecing together everything, that he didn't want Blake Lively to be away from him. Remember, I built out the timeline and I worked through it and I realized that, Oh, this is interesting. Ryan Reynolds is filming at the same time as Blake Lively. He's also doing his Wrecksome football stuff. They're basically apart. I'm sure he popped back a few times, but for four months, scheduled to be apart in a different country. I felt that Ryan was kicking up some dust because he didn't want to leave Blake Lively alone with Justin Baldoni because he's away in the UK. Then I was positing that perhaps when he got home, he was either reading her text messages, reading through the dailies, reading through the script, and he just decided, Okay, you know what? This entire production needs to be halted. I don't trust my wife. My strongest inclination for that was the fact that on the day that the SAG after a strike ended. On the day that both of them had to go back to work, meaning Ryan had to go back to film for Wolverine and Deadpool, Wayfarer gets that shocking email of demands, and basically, their production gets suspended while Ryan gets to go in the UK and feel confident knowing that she's not going to see Justin Baldoni until he's back.

That was just my speculation. Well, in the recent filing, we can now see that Ryan was panicked in general about him being apart from Blake Lively, so much so that when they first communicated with one another. This is the first time that Ryan, Arnold, and Justin Baldoni are speaking to one another, and they're exchanging text messages, and Justin Baldoni does this thing. There's this thing where he's just so nice and was To sum it up, because I'm not going to read Justin's entire text, he basically is like, I was nervous to even text you. I'm such a fan of you. You're so great. You're amazing. Your wife's amazing. Then says this really almost first day of middle school thing where he's like, all of this to say, I know I sound ridiculous, but I just really want to be friends with you. He literally tells Ryan he wants to be friends with you. I could just see Ryan saying, they're like, yes, this is exactly what I want, a puppy to kick in the mouth, and you'll do what I say. I'm going to show you exchanges. This is Ryan Reynolds, Justin Baldoni. If you guys have not read through them, I recommend that you go on to the site to read it.

He even extends saying how wonderful Blake was because she was very nice to his wife. Says that Blake sent the sweetest message to his wife. He's being so respectful, falling over himself to be respectful and to say, Hey, can we still be friends? Ryan Reynolds then sends this text message. He basically says, Sorry for the I've been writing, the girls are sick again, whatever, whatever. It tells him essentially that he hit the jackpot with Blake Lively. She literally passes on every film and every filmmaker all the time. But the one thing I know, and I speak from a deep wellespring of experience here, having her in your court behind the scenes as a creative is invaluable. I'm certain that Blank would say the same. My suspicion is he already says Taylor Swift. They're blocking this name, and the only name that they to be trying to block is Taylor Swift throughout this. I think right at the onset, Ryan Reynalds is throwing down some alpha male, and by alpha male, I mean extremely beta male. I have rich and powerful friends at the top. That's not a confirmation, but I'm looking at the length of the strip, and it's given Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift would say the same. My wife is wonderful. Anyways, going back, jumping back into these messages, he then moves immediately to ask Justin Baldon to change their production because he's never been apart from Blake Lively so long. He basically says he tried to do it on his end. I'm paraphrasing here. You can go read it on the website. I was frantically trying to address this. I was frantically trying to change this, shorten the shoot, but I can't because Deadpool and Wolverine is set in stone. They already booked the studio. But could you do something to try to punt this? He ends it with this, which is funny that we're talking about a sexual lawsuit and what's appropriate. He ends it by saying, All this to say, I'd have your line producer's face tattooed to my perineum. That is the skin between Ryan's parts. I don't even know how to appropriately state that other than perineum. He pulled that back up again. I would have your line producer's face tattooed to my perineum. If he, she, or they can figure out how to start two weeks earlier. Completely understand how big of an ask that is, but the perineum is one of the most nervy parts of the human body to expose to trauma.

What? I'm sorry. I mean, what? This whole long text is about Blake is big. She's powerful. I can't be apart from her for this long. If you really want to make me happy, I'm telling you this is how you do it, change your production schedule. I'm a big alpha here, and my studio can't do it. Justin falls over himself and it's like, I will try to do everything I can to make this happen. I just want to be friends with you. Okay? This now confirms our suspicion that all of those very cringe nice pool scenes in which he was randomly referring to his female dog, Ryan in character being a funny guy. He had the female dog, which he called Dogpool. So, Reid, this was meant to be a bitch, right? A literal bitch. He kept saying that she was looking for a new papa while he was away. Okay? Let's watch that clip again so we can all really just feel disturbed right now. I guess you've already met Mary Puppins, a. K. A. Dogpool. Careful where you put your hand. She's 90% G-Spot, and she'll let you know it. You let this little flirt out of your sight for one second, and she starts shopping for a new papa.

If you can't be a responsible pet owner, then maybe you don't deserve this little unicorn. Guilty on all charges, your honor. It shouldn't happen again. He carried that joke over by basically saying that Blake Lively, who I think he's casting as the bitch in that scene, he carried it over to the It Ends With Us promotion, which was weird because this is a movie about domestic violence, It Ends With Us, by again saying in a funny scene that Blake Lively was trying to replace him. That's what made us aware, by the way. I was going, nothing in this scene is funny. Nothing in this scene makes sense. Why is he alleging that his wife is trying to place him in a skit which is promoting domestic violence? Why is his mom here and Hugh Jackman? Why do I feel threatened somehow when I listen to this script? Take a listen. Well, it's not every day the mother-in-law of the leading lady gets to interview the love interest and the man trying to replace my sweet little gummy bear, Ryan. Let's dive in, shall we? I don't feel very comfortable asking this question. I got it.

I'll get it. Here, I can do that. You're not going to read it? I will then. Hey, thank you. Very good. That's the one. It says, Ryan would love to have a new dad to have a catch. I think he could really use a man in his life. Hugh is no spring chicken anymore. Blink once for yes, or blink once for I'd love to be your new dad. He blinked. He blinked. Monsieur Reynolds. Call me Blake. I could blow your mind, doc. Oh, man. It's not every day a guy gets to interview the love interest of his best friend's wife and the guy trying to replace Ryan as a husband and me as his best mate. Holy shit. Listen, I've just got one question. What the hell are you doing messing with my best buddy's wife? Sir, I have no idea what's happening at all today. In the retrospect, this is all just so scary. It feels like a form of abuse against Blake. She's not a victim in any of this. She's totally bratty, and we've gone through her messages as well. But I am just saying that the fact that he doesn't want to be apart from her, and now he's inserted himself into every layer of this movie, something's very wrong here.

What else did we learn from the filing? Well, we learned that at the Deadpool Afterparty, Ryan went and found a William Morris Endeavor. Now, that's the biggest agency everybody's under then. That's the one that Justin Baldoni got dropped from, and told that executive that they were working with a sexual predator, referring to Justin Baldoni. It says, Lively, Reynolds and other members of the film cast, attended the premiere for Deadpool and Wolverine, and just that, just them having invited these people is basically, I view Ryan as an infestation. It's the only way I can say. If he wants to go after you, he infests himself into every area of your life. When he did this, Justin Baldo. He's like, Who are your friends? Who owns the production company? Who owns the next movie script? I am going to infest myself everywhere. I'm going to be doing your movie premiere. I'm going to be doing promos and making fun of you. I'm going to put myself in the end credits. This is psychotic behavior. But going back to what they said was mentioned at this party, At the after-party, Wayfair was informed that Reynolds approached a senior executive at WME and expressed his deep disdain for Baldony, going as far as to suggest that the agency is working with a sexual predator.

Ryan, personally, and you can take this to the bank, I am telling you right now, this is a fact. This has been confirmed He tried to get Justin Baldony dropped from WME multiple times before they did. All of those articles that came out when Justin got dropped and they were denying that Ryan Reynolds had anything to do with it, those were PR teams that were working overtime behind the scenes, likely their PR team. Leslie Sloan. It's not true. No, that is a fact. I said, I'm getting leaks right now that someone inside of WME confirmed that Ryan Reynolds was going around trying to get him dropped. They didn't do it until the lawsuit was filed, then they immediately dropped him. Another thing that we find out, which is a bombshell from this new filing, is that Ryan and Blake, and really, if I have to say Ryan, one more time in a movie that has nothing to do with him, he's a very scary, creepy guy. We found the creep. It's Ryan Reynolds. But when Blake started getting all this bad press, obviously, she did not believe, and this is true, Blake, my understanding of her, is She's a true narcissist.

She's not very smart. She just wants to be rich and famous and have rich friends. I had heard that and known that about her since my days that I was working at Glamor magazine, that she was really mean to people, but she's very surface As long as Ryan, Ryan's a lot smarter than her, and she therefore allows him to manipulate and control every layer of his life, so long as she can just be the princess, essentially. We find out that when she starts getting bad press, and this is a perfect time for Ryan to manipulate in my opinion. She's like, he's probably like, Babe, this can't be because you're not amazing. Look at you. You're hot, you're sexy, you're perfect. Give me your phone. I'm going to draft a statement that Justin Baldon and Wayfarer have to read because the public noticed that her press appearances were weird. They found her to not be deep at all. They didn't like what she was promoting her hair products. They didn't like that she was not taking the theme of domestic violence seriously. Then they found these old videos of her, and they didn't believe this. They gave them the opportunity, basically put a gun to their head and said, This is a statement that we want you to read.

Essentially, Ryan demanded that Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer lie to the public to save Blake's reputation. Here's the statement that Ryan Reynolds drafted, according to this lawsuit. The text messages show this, by the way. I mean, the emails. Statement prepared by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. It was actually Ryan Reynolds on behalf of James Heath and Wayfarer. They wanted them to say this to us, Anyways, It Ends With Us was a troubled production which we, meaning Justin and Wayfarer, take full accountability for. We are very sorry to everyone that we caused upset to privately and publicly. Blake Lively, Coleen Hoover, and the entire cast and crew led with professionalism every step of the way. Any negativity aimed at them is ours to own. We mutually agree that the cast would be promoting the film separately and understood why. Lies. Understood why. Yeah, I guess it's not a lie because you were freaking out and threatening to do things if he was in the same room as her. We have always said that we are not perfect, and even if it unintentionally made mistakes, we will always own them. We hold ourselves accountable. It's not anyone's job but ours.

And that's part of being, quote, unquote, Man enough. That's a little Ryan dig right there. Even in the statement, he was going to force him to read making fun of Justin Baldoni and his Man Enough book and podcast and all that stuff. He's saying, You need to be man enough and just say that this is all your fault, that the public doesn't like my wife. We will practice what we preach. We are learning and growing from the experience, and we thank everyone for their patience as we find a better way to proceed. We are very proud of the film and the welcome arms that it has been received. Part of our work is to have uncomfortable conversations for public growth. The film is doing that on screen, and we are doing that off screen. Thank you to the cast and crew and public for the opportunity to be in Perfect and to be given this space to learn and grow with humanity and dedication. This is why I love this lawsuit, because this is an insight to the public that everything you read is BS. They just lie. Like, literally, we are just being lied to.

There's somebody behind the scenes who's being a little psycho. They want to control public thoughts. They want to control public minds. They are basically like, You're going to read this statement with a gun to your head. Even though this has been a terrible thing, and even though it is our fault, we have been awful to you. We've been threatening this movie every step of the way to get what Blake Lively wants, and really what Ryan wants more than anything else, having you move dates, we've been a pain in the ass, but you're going to take it on the chin because you wrote a book and have a podcast about being man enough. I mean, and fortunately, they said, No, we're not reading this. This is a lie. We're not going to tell the public this, that the reason we're separated was agreed upon mutually. It wasn't agreed upon mutually. You came at them with a figurative gun to their head, and you put his family in the basement. I'm sorry, the public noticed. Because the reality is these Hollywood types, they think we are all stupid. We are so dumb. All they need is a PR machine and the right reporter at the Hollywood reporter and the right reporter at the Daily Mail and Page 6, whatever it is, and they'll tell us what to think.

This is how their brains work. Fourth revelation that came is that Sony informed them that there would be a cast-wide boycott if James Heath or Justin Baldoni attended the premiere. How's that for that statement? Actually, we learn that on July 23, 2024, Sony informs Wayfarer the studio financing the premiere in most of the film that lively had demanded that Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer refrain from attending the New York premiere and threaten to cast-wide boycott if they do. This is really Justin's fault. I need to be manned up and accept The public, you're noticing some things, but you're wrong, public. Basically, the command was Gaslight the public while behind the scenes, we act awful. That was the command. That was the instruction. This brings in the Brandon Sklenar piece because I have just been amazed at how involved he got and how the cast just knew that Justin was a good person but went along with this anyways. I had reduced this to essentially A-list syndrome. All of these people who, if you even aspire to be a Hollywood actor and actress, in most circumstances, you're dealing with someone who probably has some narcissistic tendencies. I'm not saying everyone, but the majority.

This is why we have these stereotypes about Hollywood. They're not people that treat people They're all just trying to climb to the top and they'll do anything to get there. That's my viewpoint of Brandon Sklenar. It really is. And so some TikToker did a little digging and figured out how they were able to pluck off these cast members, essentially rolling the red carpet and showing them the A-list light And I'm going to show you this user on TikTok is called Steph with the D. So I'm just going to allow her to plug in for you this Brandon Sklenar piece.

Well, well, well. It all makes sense now. Do you guys know who this is? Does she look familiar? Her name is Liz Plank. Yes, Liz Plank, who is Justin Baldoni's co-host on their podcast, Man Enough. The same Liz Plank that jumped ship just a few days after Blake Lively filed her legal complaint against Justin Baldony. Not only did Liz Plank post this photo in 2019 thanking Ryan freaking Reynolds, he also posted her book to his story. She also was on Welcome to Rexam.

Ryan and I had questions. So we went to the only logical place for answers. A woman.

Hi, my name is Liz Plank.

In the first episode of the show, Rob said that he went to Ryan for movie money.

Apparently, Welcome to Rexam is a TV series that took an inside look at the unusual beginnings and dynamics of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElanee's football friendship. Ryan Reynolds is the South co-chair of the series. Liz had posted this on October 17th, 2022, caption, Thanks to Ryan and Rob for letting me psychoanalyze them and talk about butts on TV. Want to know who else visited Rexum on Ryan Reynolds's dime? Brandon Sklenn R. A. K. A. T. Muthor. And this was December 14th, 2024. And allegedly, Blake Lively had invited Brandon and Isabella to book Bonanza and paid for their trip to Texas to attend. Pretty disgusting how all these people were just bought. Who cares about a moral compass? Just give me a roll on a TV show. Send me somewhere nice. This is why I don't even care about the co-stars anymore. They tried to make that a huge deal that they all unfollowed Justin Maldoni. I want to hear about what the crew is saying. The people behind the scenes that we don't see on camera. I want to hear what they're saying about all this.

Amen. That's pretty much Liz Plank. We were like, Why did she suddenly... We thought it was weird. We noticed that she was following Blake Lively, and Blake Lively is following her, and Ryan Rounds is following her. And literally, this is what I mean when I say these are psychopathic tendencies. He was infesting every layer of Justin Baldoni's life. So he has this podcast with Liz Plank. Well, we're going to need her as an ally. So what are we going to do? I'm going to put her in a docuseries that I'm working on with Wrexham about football. What? Why is she there? Because Ryan wanted him... He wanted to isolate him. I want you to understand that. This is what really bugs me about this, is this is narcissistic abuse. He wanted him to feel alone and like he had no one on his side. The means for him to attain that was through his wealth and the A-list clientele that he surrounds himself with. Me and Hugh are going to be on the set promoting your film, making fun of you. I think I really want you guys to think about how insane that is.

This throws me back to the real hero in all this. Martha Stewart, a while ago, went on to some show. She was promoting something, one thing or another. She basically said that she knows Ryan, and he's not a funny guy. She was basically alerting the public to the fact that Ryan Reynolds is a psycho. She didn't say it, but she was like, he's pretty serious. She's basically letting people know that he puts on this persona as this funny, nice guy, and this isn't who he is. And so listen to what Martha Stewart had to say on this random game show. We asked Bilt members, what celebrities would be the most fun to hang out with?

He's probably on the list just because he covers himself up in his movies and you don't see his face.

Ryan Reynolds, is he one of those?

He wanted to know something? He's not so funny in real life. Really? No, he's not so funny.

He's very serious.

Taylor, then I would do Snoop, and then I would take Ryan off it, and I would put in somebody else. I'm so surprised that Ryan Reynolds isn't funny.

This is like a shocker to me.

I see him walking up and down our neighbor all the time.

He can act funny, but he isn't funny. Maybe he can get to be funny again.

I'm so disappointed, actually.

I'm going to get in trouble. He's my neighbor. He's my neighbor. She was spilling. She was letting people know that this whole persona, nice guy, funny guy, is an act, and that's not who he is behind the scenes. I think he is a very disturbed, angry individual. I was also positing with my team something It's almost that, and this is, by the way, this is not anybody inside or leaking this, but I find it interesting that one thing that the public hasn't discussed enough is the Scarlett Johansson piece. If he has this narcissistic, abusive, abusive tendencies, which I believe everything he did was narcissistic and abusive. We saw that in Deadpool, even against Justin Baldoni. We don't even have to imagine what he does to Blake Lively at home or anything like that. But if he's already publicly admitted that he has these control issues, and they stem from the fact that his father was always screaming screaming. We now know that Ryan's also a screamer, so he basically just became his dad. That whole little scene about his father and unresolved issues, yeah, it's looking like you might have just become who you alleged your father was.

He sat down, I think it was with the New York Times or whoever it was, and said that he developed these control is. She was like, He's very controlling because he felt the only way that he could get his dad not to scream in the house was to make sure everything was within his control. That's why Ryan is the way that he is. When you apply that to Scarlett Johansson, the limited things that she said about relationship when she was married to him only for two years, Scarlett Johansson was instantly A-list. She was at the top of her game. I was going through all of her stuff. What's funny is his whole relationship with the bromance between him and Hugh Jackman, it registers to me as weird. I don't think it's cute now. I think it's really weird. What's funny is the way that they started this bromance was actually they didn't quite like each other because Ryan Reynolds was holding on to, and they both admitted this publicly, to a comment that Hugh Jackman made, because when Hugh Jackman was an A-list star, so was Scarlett Johansson, and they sard next to each other in this movie.

I think it's called The Prestige. Mark will correct me in my ear if I'm wrong. The Prestige? Okay, great. It was called The Prestige, and this is around the time that she's with Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds was jealous. Ryan Reynolds was controlling. It had always been alleged that this was about Ryan Reynolds. Scarlett Johansson is not bling lively. She's known to be, and I can tell you this because I worked at a firm, we did movies, and I literally met Scarlett Johansson. She's known to be very bright. She is known to be very classy, and she's known to be very kind. I get this sense that if you're that a control person and Scarlett Johansson, after two years, goes peace, I'm out of this marriage, you will never let that go because now we know he holds a grudge. He was mad at Hugh Jackman because of something that Hugh Jackman said to him when he was married to or engaged to Scarlett Johansson. He said something like, I don't want you doing anything to my girl or whatever, that an uncle might say, protective of Scarlett Johansson. Ryan held on to this for years.

Her career has always been bigger, has always been greater. She's the highest paid actress in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson. I think someone like him would still be bothered by this, even though they am a couple of break up, it's fine, she doesn't care, she's been married. I think he still does care to try to one up her. What I found interesting and why I'm bringing this up right now is that in 2023, in December, it was announced that Scarlett Johansson was doing a movie that's now called Eleanor the Great with Wayfarer and Sony Studios. He would have known about this. He would have found out about this probably before the public found out. If we found out in December of 2023 that this was happening, and then it was announced again about Wayfarer and Sony Studios. Did that set him off in a weird way? Was her directorial debut the first time she was going to be directing a film? Here's the headline here, Scarlett Johansson to make her directorial debut Eleanor the Great. I'm just wondering. I'm not going to say anything else, but I find that piece to be compelling about his character. I think Scarja may have been the one who got away, and he wanted someone who was like, dumber and more basic behind her.

From all accounts, by all accounts, he got it. Not to disrespect Blake Lively, but she's just not known to be that bright, and I think that allows him to more easily control her. Last thing that I want to bring up before I tell you all the tea and what everybody dropped, that's interesting and compelling this website was the budget thing because this really tells you who Blake Lively is. On April 25th, they had to send around this email about the wardrobe budget versus the price. This isn't the final price, by the way. This is just by April 25th. Here it is, the email that went around. It says, Hi all, wardrobe budget for spending was 185,000. Normally, wardrobe overspends and then does tons of returns and ends up in budget. Our wardrobe team just told me that they'd spent about 500K and then land back at 185K once returns are done. To date, they have already spent 615,000 dollars. Now, if you read the lawsuit, it's because Blake wanted to be in control. Again, she likes pretty things. She wants to believe that she's this wonderful stylistic person. She wanted to be in control of and she changed around the entire wardrobe and she picked the wardrobe.

Then when pictures of her leaked on set of this wardrobe is expensive wardrobe that she had put together because she had a vision for what this character would look like. The public said it was the ugliest thing they've ever seen. They didn't like it, and they got terrible feedback. Justin then went to have a conversation with her like, I would like to have some say in what this character is wearing. My little sister said, She looked like Lizzie McGuire. It was terrible. I didn't see the movie, but my sister said, She looked like Lizzie McGuire. She thinks she's this huge, artistic, amazing thing because that's what Ryan tells her, so he can keep controlling her. That's my theory. But that's absurd. Really shows you how broadly she is. They also indicate that she had to bring all... She made the team bring all the clothes to her to her penthouse rather than her showing up and having a fitting on set, which is what's normal. All right, guys. Now I'm about to take you down the rabbit hole of what is really going on. Basically, how everyone involved here is essentially strapped to a figurative bomb, and it's how they got here as a bunch of petty power trips.

Real inside baseball. I mean, I have all the tea, the TT, and it is going to make you sick, which is why we should at first be reminded about the wellness company. Now that Dr. Fauci has been pardoned, RFK Jr. Is going to unearth what most of us already knew about the pandemic.

First and foremost, you have to understand the PR players involved because that is crucial to everything that has happened here. I'm going to show you this. I'll put together this map for you, like a psychopath. Wayfarer Studio This is the PR firms, Jones Work PR, which is headed up by Stephanie Jones. Under Stephanie Jones was a woman who was partner named Jennifer Abel, and they were representing Wayfarer Studio and Justin Balzoni at the beginning of this movie. Stephanie Jones is apparently the number one PR person in Hollywood. She's also a throwback to the culture where people want to be like Devils, wear Prada. She's known to be mean. A business insider did a whole article on her past employees and how she makes jokes of I Stay Alive on Adderall and Coffee. She's like a walking Vogue movie in her own brain from my understanding of what I've read online about her.

This is who they hired because they're best in the game. Then you have VisionPR. That's Leslie Sloan Company, and she reps Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Then on the outside, over there to the right, you have a woman named Melissa Nathan, who you've seen in this lawsuit. I could not find any photos of her other than that one, which was in the New York Times, but she was not involved. She's the crisis PR person that comes in later. Here is what then happens, and this is very crucial. Jennifer Abel put in her notice on July 10th of 2024. She tenders her resignation and says, Steph, I'm leaving you. Apparently, you are not allowed to leave Stephanie Jones. You don't get out of there unscaped. She just says, nothing personal. I'm not happy. They've released the emails. I just don't want to be at this company anymore. But the problem is that Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer don't want Jennifer to leave. They're like, We want to go with you because they've established some a relationship with her. She is also friends with Melissa Nathan. They had developed a friendship over the year, I guess, like small world of PR.

That's why the two of them are now being listed in this lawsuit against Wayfarer by Stephanie Jones. They try to keep her happy, Stephanie Jones. She's just like, You know what? I've prayed on this. I just I want to move on and do my own thing. Wayfarer and Justin Baldoni say, You know what? We're out, too. We're going to go with her and wait her to establish her own thing, which she didn't do, I don't think, until this year. I couldn't find it. Anyways, we're going to move them over now because in Stephanie's mind, she's just been stabbed the back of one of her employees. She's not happy about this. She's going, What's going on here? Why are you gone? Are you going to go join this girl? Melissa, she didn't, by the way. She did say independent. Melissa does PR, and Justin then hires Melissa for his crisis PR. This is now the new team here that's dealing with everything She just show you how insane Stephanie maybe potentially is, you can see that she puts in her notice in July, referring to Jennifer Abel, puts in her notice on July 10th, and she says, I'm not going to leave until August 23rd.

That's a pretty long time there, six weeks, whatever's required. Two days before she was about to leave on August 21st, and this is in the filing, Stephanie Jones basically tells her that you are going to have to come into the office, because like I said, you don't survive if Stephanie Jones is angry, if she feels betrayed, and she is potentially going to burn you in Hollywood. That's the understanding from people that play inside baseball here. The reason she can do this, okay, ready? Huge drop. Stephanie Jones is married to Jason Hodes. Now you're going, Jason Hodes is? Jason Hodes is a senior partner at WME. William Morris and Endeavor, people that dropped. Justin Baldoni, Jason Hodes is a senior partner. That is him next to Tom braided. Why? Because Tom braided is his client. That's how big he is, okay? Big guy. This is why Stephanie is able to, allegedly, make these threats of, allegedly make these sorts of threats of like, you do what she wants, or people know things get bad for you very quickly. You imagine Justin Baldoni walks with this Jennifer Abel and she's feeling like she's been betrayed. I don't know.

I'm not suggesting that there was collusion between a married couple, but I am saying that I collude with my husband because we're a married couple. That's what I'm saying, okay? How exactly does Stephanie decide to exact her revenge? Well, we don't know. But anything other than the facts, which is, again, on August 21st, she calls Jennifer two days before she's supposed to leave amicably and forces her to hand over her phone. She says that she's going to confiscate it. I'll read you directly from the lawsuit. She says, On August 21, 2024, two days before her last day, Able pulls up to the Jones work office in Beverly Hills. There, she is confronted by a physically imposing security guard, a lawyer sitting at a conference table covered in documents, an IT professional, and Jones's chief of staff who had flown in unannounced from New York. These people are nuts. I mean, Apart from... Because they just quit their job without people being crazy. They're just demented in Hollywood. Anyways, it goes on. It says, Apart from Jones's chief of staff, Able had never seen any of them before. After being ushered into the conference room, Able sees that the security guard is posted just outside its doors.

Sorry to laugh, but they're all nuts. They're all insane in Hollywood. They don't know they're insane, though. Blocking the exit. In a medicing and cold tone, the attorney points to documents and tells Able to review and sign them. This is what I would imagine. It's like believing a cult. The attorney claims that Joneswork believes she had proprietary information on her personal laptop and will likely have grounds to sue if Able does not allow them access. It goes on and she basically says, Please, I've had this number since I was a kid. She's shell shocked. She wants to get out of there. She doesn't want to sign the document. She doesn't have anybody representing, telling her that she had to hand this over, apparently. The attorney then presents Able with a list of approximately 10 documents, accuses her of having access to them and stolen them. Abel denies having done so. The IT specialist conducts a search of her laptop, which again turns up nothing. They think that she's colluding. I don't know what they think is going on, but you have to imagine that at this same time, Blake is starting to get bad press.

I have seen this happen before. I kid you not. When somebody leaves a company, people get kookey with their conspiracy theories about who they're potentially colluding with. It's happened to me. You're really like, Hey, man, I just want to leave this company. Me, and they're going, No, this can't be it. You must be doing something. You must be doing something behind the scenes to try to spite me because why would you want to leave me? I'm so great. This is like the Hollywood psychotic mentality. They're going through her stuff. They're not finding anything in her stuff. They take her phone, and this is how, magically, Ryan and Blake end up with these text messages that they later doctor, which we are able to see in the full context later, that the New York Times later doctors to make people think that they were plotting against Blake Lively, when in reality, they were just laughing at the fact that as the crisis PR person, Melissa Nathan, and as the main PR person now, because they're walking with her, that they actually didn't have to do any work because people just didn't like Blake Lively. It's Steph from Jones' work, Steph Jones' narcissism, she can't see clearly, and she just thinks she's being plotted against.

She's had a rough year because there's a bunch of employees that are starting to speak about how awful she is behind the scenes. Then you I'll call that with Ryan and Blake's narcissism. You've got essentially Hollywood types that truly suffer from this God complex. It's a God complex. There's no way I'm not liked. There's no way anyone wants to leave me. It is so obvious that people must be plotting behind the scenes. Candice must be plotting with this person. They're crazy. They're just insane. Now it's too late. You got the messages and they're going to the New York Times. Now, let me tell you what Steph does not know. Because when I got this, I was going, Okay, this case is going to get insane, people. What Steph did, majorly here, obviously, was I am seeing clearly here, she helped to get the civil complaint pieces out of context messages. That's how the messages got handed over. Whether she's going to argue that she had to hand them over or Ryan, whatever, I think my suspicion is these two were colluding because neither could see past their own nose. But the potential blowback here for WME as a whole, essentially, you can't mess me because I'm so-and-so, you can mess me because I'm so-and-so.

Well, apparently, because Ryan and Blake were Immediately, as we saw in the filings, being litigious, being psychopathic, being crazy, trying to take over the film. I mean, the timeline reveals to us the first time that Ryan screamed at Justin Baldoni, first time he yelled at him was when Justin Baldoni asked the trainer who Blake got for him, How much does Blake weigh so that we can train for me to lift her up? And he showed that there was a scene where he was supposed to lift her up. He had a double herniated disk thing. It's all documented. This guy was just literally trying to make sure that he lifted her in a way that wouldn't injure his back. Then when Ryan gets home from Wrexham, he's like, You asked how much my wife weighs to make sure you don't hurt your back. Don't you ever do that again. Beta male stuff. Well, because they were being crazy early on in 2023, somebody, and I don't know who the person was, okay? Somebody advised everyone to record everything. Somebody had a gut instinct and said, We need to record everything because they were already being accused of things that weren't true.

Ryan and Blake are insane. They're saying things that didn't happen. She's saying, he said sexy on set. He's like, I said sexy on set because you've said sexy on set, and this is how you discussed Warja with me, so I thought it was okay. They already can see which way the wind is blowing. I don't know who gave us advice. I mean, they said, record everything. This is the reason why she didn't think the scene was recorded or she didn't think that it was on. They were catching the audio and they have it. This advice maybe came from Sony, maybe it came from the lawyers, maybe it came from PR, maybe it came from Steve Saueritz, maybe it came from Justin Baldon's wife who said, Start recording everything. Who knows? But because the writing was on the wall early on, they wanted to leave nothing to Ryan and Blake's crazy ass wild game of Thrones, dragging, breathing imaginations. They started recording everything. I'm talking conversations, conversations with execs. Everything is recorded. They made an early, We're dealing with an unhinged couple, so we need to cover our asses as a matter of basic safety decision.

Okay? Boy, oh, boy, is that instinct, that early instinct that somebody had about to pay off. This is like when the criminals are lying saying the police officer beat them, but he didn't know the police officer had the body cam on and the CCTV footage from up above everything. It's like, Oh, man, you got really caught cold-line about this one. This is one of these circumstances. Remember New Jersey, which is where it ends with us, was filmed, is a one-party record state. I don't know if you know this, every state has its own recording rules, which means that I am a state of Tennessee, we are a one-party recording. If someone calls me right now, I can record it for safety. If you're like, I'm just going to record this conversation for safety. I don't know. I do this, by the way, with journalists. When they call me, I record the conversation just for safety because I don't trust them. I don't trust them. I'm not saying they're not going to lie. I'm saying they are going to lie. I record every conversation, so I have a record of it. New Jersey is a one party record state.

This is a major oopsies, a major oopsies, because they're all like crabs in the barrel. They're all lying right now, thinking that their lawyers are going to be able to prove and dissuade the public. But there are undeniable facts, and it's not just the fact that they captured her alleged assault on camera. It's everything. The lawsuit is about to get insane. The recordings are going to be slow. It's going to be painful drip now that everybody has published their lies. Just like I said, they were shocked. They couldn't believe they had an audio recording of her alleged sexual harassment, and then now they're trying to come up and change the public perception. A lot of that going to happen. I'm telling you, these WME execs, Stephanie, her husband, they're going to be having some tough conversations because this is going to blow back on them. By the way, we're talking about an agency. This is going to hurt them. I mean, really hurt this agency because you don't want to believe that execs at the very tippity top are being essentially threatened or bullied or coerced or extorted And by a couple like Ryan and Blake or Taylor Swift.

There are some conversations that were had. And I'm telling you, it's not going to be good for any of these people. It says this is not good for Endeavor. It's all because Stephanie Jones was a little paranoid. She was like, genuinely, Steph, if you're watching this, I genuinely don't like Blake Lively. I've known she's a brats. Nobody's paying me to say this. No one's told me to say this. They think people didn't like her during those premiere things, and there was no plot against you. Come down from your high horse. The same for Blake and Ryan. There's no plot. You're genuinely this despicable and unlikable. Having right for the lawsuit, even more so. If a next Deadpool movie fails, I want you to know no one's plotting. We just don't like you. I hope that clears things up for you. A couple of more things that I'm going to tell you first. I want to remind you about Oracle because if you think it is a bit overhyped, whether or not you think it's Or overhyped, AI is suddenly everywhere, from self-driving cars to molecular medicine to business efficiency. If it's not in your industry yet, you know that it's coming and it's coming fast.

But AI needs a lot of speed and computing power. So how do you compete without costs spiraling out of control? Well, it's time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, also known as OCI. Oci is a blazing fast and secure platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, plus all your AI and machine learning workloads. Oci costs 50% less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a pile of money. Thousands of businesses have already upgraded to OCI, including Vodafone. You have Thompson Reuters and Suno AI. Right now, Oracle is offering to cut your current cloud bill in half if you move over to OCI, which is huge. For new US customers with minimum financial commitment, the offer will end on March 31st, however. See if your company qualifies for the special offer at oracle. Com/candice. Again, that's oracle. Com/candice. Also, reminding you about Pure Talk, one of our great sponsors here because this country was founded on freedom. Freedom from a country that forced us to buy overpriced tea, then tried blockading us when we dumped their tea into the ocean. How did that work out? Well, I'll tell you how it worked out.

I married an Englishman, so I think they're back. Anyways, it's time to throw your overpriced big wireless contract overboard, too. You don't need to pay $100 a month just to get a free phone. Pure Talk, my cell phone company, says no to inflate prices. With a qualifying plan of just $45 a month, you can choose an iPhone 14 or a Samsung Galaxy for $0. And yes, this is for premium service, unlimited talk, text, 25 gigs of data, and a mobile hotspot at a fraction of the price of the big guys. All on America's most dependable 5G work. You get your iPhone 14 or Samsung Gallery for $0 by visiting puretalk. Com/kandis. I'm sorry, that's puretalk. Com/ohens today. Switching is easy. Again, puretalk. Com/ohens to claim your new iPhone or your Galaxy with qualifying purchases from Pure Talk, America's wireless Company. All right, so some more points. I just love the idea that everybody's recorded. I just love it. I love it. I want Sony execs. I want to hear it. I want to hear WME execs. I want to hear Steph. I want to hear everything. I want to hear it all. This is like, we're never going to give this opportunity to just really see inside of Hollywood in this way.

You know what I'm saying? We're never going to be able to see it. Anyways, you should know, obviously, they went to court, the lawyers went to court, and they were representing client. So this was not an appearance from Blake Lively or from Ryan. Essentially, I'm just going to tell you to sum up what happened. No gag order will be granted. You know, Blake Lively moved to her. She had her lawyer speak out and say that she did not want to have to be deposed by Brian Friedmann. Super weird, braided request, not going to play well in the press. Again, she has, I think, the worst PR team in the entire world. I think Stephanie Sloan-PR has... I mean, sorry, Leslie Sloan-PR is terrible. I'm telling you. The moves they're making here to pain her as a victim, it tells you that they're not up on culture. They don't know me too culture has moved away. And trying to pretend you're being victimized by having to go to court over a lawsuit you filed because you don't like the lawyer, it's just dumb, really dumb stuff. My understanding, by the way, is Leslie Sloan has a leg in at Hollywood Reporter.

She gets articles leaked to the Hollywood Reporter on page 6. Those are her peeps. I know all of their articles, but I'm blank at the moment. I'll get a for you and tell you where their plugs are. But I think this woman has aged out. I think, and I don't even have a holocage. I'm just saying that she obviously doesn't understand. Her finger is not in culture right now. So leaning further into this idea that she's a victim is not going to be good for your client. It's the exact opposite. Anyways, The judge did move because they argued back and forth, and she's like, Well, the lawyers here basically were saying that Brian Friedmann dropping the website was problematic. Brian Friedmann came back and said, Everything I put on the website is public. We just made it easy for people to be able to find it. The judge moved to Adopt Rule 3. 6, which is basically a warning to Brian Friedmann, but it's not even a slap on the wrist. It's basically like, watch yourself grow. I don't think he's going to be doing any more interviews. That would be my guess based on what the judge said.

If you follow the transcript there. The judge then scheduled a date in March, which he said interrogatories are due, which essentially is just written questions that each side can get the other side to answer in writing to establish the facts of the case, and they can't walk on that. Amazingly, Vision PR, so Leslie Sloan, again, hired Sigrid Macaulay to represent them. I'm telling you, they got to leave this PR firm because her brand is feminism. I'm not kidding, Sigrid McAulay represented all of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. So it's like the fact that you're even... I don't know. I think it's utterly bonkers that they would try to be thinking of themselves, if they are, in terms of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, totally nutty. But this is an actual quotation from the hearing today from Jeffrey Epstein, victim's lawyer, Sigrid Macaulay. She said this, My client's female-run company shouldn't be subject to this. I'm not kidding. That's what she said about a deposition. She said, We don't want to have her to have to sit for a deposition because it's a female run company, which is just so pathetic. I'm so over the like, We're strong girls, but also when we want to, we're little puppies.

We shouldn't be subject to depositions. When the lawyer was asking her, she was asking for a stay on depositions, then I guess Brian Friedmann looks over and he's like, Great idea. I don't want Melissa Nathan to have to sit for a deposition either because she's a female run company. It's just hilarious. Anyways, the judge concluded that no one would have to sit for depositions because Blake Lively's lawyer said that they may add more parties to the case, which is interesting. She said that there may be some more parties to the case, and the judge asked more questions about that. They said that they were going to try to get the parties to comply and agree to be parties, but if not, they may have to subpoena these individuals. One thing they said that stood out to me was, including people in the media who may have been paid. That's Lively's lawyer saying that they're going to subpoena people in the media who may have been paid. I cannot believe that they still don't understand that no one is being paid, and we just don't like them. We're just like the mom This includes, okay, we made time, we've got timelines.

No one is over here getting paid from whoever you think we're getting paid from. But this is, I'm telling you, they are deep into their conspiracies. As I said, I have seen this before. Even in politics, I've seen this before, people just cannot perceive when they become that powerful that any person would do anything against them or not want to be with them. They think people are constantly plotting their downfall. This shows you that they still have the mentality that what's happening now, which the slews coming together and piecing together the story and people being angry by how bullied Justin Baldoni was. You notice, I'm not even bringing up Justin Baldoni. No one has brought up Justin Baldoni to me. They're basically like, he was just the puppy in the middle of this. It was like PR wars, angry people, A-list, actors and actresses, and he was just easy to kick. There he is. There he is right there. Pull him up. Puppy. Nice. So sweet. And all these people are like, Yep, we're A-list. Let's go around. What are we going to do on a Friday night? Let's go find some kittens to kick.

Yeah, let's do it. Justin Baldoni was there, and they They just did it. They kicked him. They just threw him off of a roof. People who'd throw kittens and see if they were on their feet. That was Justin Baldoni. It looks like he's landing on his feet, by the way. I'm just going to say that. But it's just interesting that they're going through with this because they're hoping that they're going to find something. My instinct tells me that there's nothing there, that there is truly nothing there, and that the public reaction to Blake Lively was indeed authentic. Even Kirsten Fla, the original reporter whose interview got leaked during that time that went viral of Blake being really mean to her, she came out and gave a statement and said, No, nobody called me nothing. She's like, I just saw people talking about her, and I remembered this moment where she made me feel so small, and I decided to just reshare it. But I was not a part of some smear campaign, and they just got it wrong. They just got it completely wrong. Another factoid, this came to me from a journalist. This is amazing.

We were absolutely correct, so do not let people try to lie to you, that Taylor Swift's marketing person put that article in the Daily Mail. That Taylor Swift's marketing person, as I accurately predicted, because I knew this, dating back to Kanye West, that she's got some woman named Treepane. We might have a picture of this woman right here who is very powerful as well, neck and neck with Stephanie Jones, and she moved, and I think because of our episode, that same the day before, to say that Taylor Swift was used, which is crap, in my opinion, and got that put in the Daily Mail. Now, you may have seen that Page 6 then had a rebuttal to that and was like, It's not true. They're still friends. That's Blake Lively's team. That's Sloan PR, allegedly. They're running Page 6 and Daily Mail tree. Taylor wants people to think she's not friends with Blake Lively. I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what her team wants the public to believe because they know it's going to get yucky. If Tree is worth her pay, which I think she is, she's read through this lawsuit and she's just reading the writing on the wall.

We were also correct, my understanding in our assessment, that Blake and Ryan never intended to file a real lawsuit. They just wanted to do the CRD complaint because they thought it would be enough and the public would be swayed, and they truly thought they were smarter than the public. They plotted, again, they got to get rid of this Leslie Sloan PR people because they suck, because They were like, The public is not smart enough to know the difference between a civil rights complaint in the courts and an actual lawsuit. It took three hours before mommy slews on TikTok were like, This is not a real lawsuit. I saw threads about it in a blink of an eye. This is the problem with these Hollywood types. They think they're so much smarter than us and that we can't get to the bottom of anything. If we do figure something out, it's because we're getting paid, which is ridiculous. I am obviously not going to let go of this lawsuit at all. There, apparently, are more lawsuits coming. I'm hearing there are more lawsuits coming, and we're going to see what those have to do with. Hollywood Reporter.

Again, Hollywood Reporter is basically working for Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. I don't articles they're doing, but I'm learning that that's the plug for the Leslie Sloan PR. I'm trying to understand all the PR wars because they matter, and that is that. Guys, 100K people watching. Yes, I love that. That is absolutely amazing. You know what I should do?

I told you the tea would, in fact, be being hot. Like I said, everyone's emailing us, telling us stuff, and we're not going to stop covering it. I did an interview, actually, this morning. It was with the Daily Telegraph, and she was asking me, What is it about this case that just really got you into it? I was explaining to her, I don't like when defenseless people get bullied. I am the person that if I see it at an airport, if I see a mother, and I've done this before, who's on the phone, distracted, is yanking her child, and he's crying, and I say something.

I always say something because there's something about watching people that are defenseless, just being abused, that just lights a fire in my belly. It's like, pick on someone your own size. Ryan Reynolds, pick on me. I got it. I've got fight in me. When I decide to pick up these battles, I have to see them through the end. It becomes obsessive for me because I just... Especially when it's a man, a man using the me too movement to get what he wants, like Ryan Reynolds, an insecure little baby, I cannot tolerate that. That drives me absolutely insane. Thank you to Reem for the donation. Same for Fadi. Thank you so much for the donation. He asks, Hi, Candice. Off topic a bit. We the OG fans want to know how we are going to celebrate 4 million subs along with you soon. Ideas? We collectively have two words for you, Amelia Perez, popcorn ready and waiting. Much love and respect. Yes, guys. Also, if you're here watching on YouTube Live, hit the subscribe button. We are really getting close to 4 million, which would be the first time I ever had 4 million subs. I had to rebuild my channel off the Daily Wire, so I already feel like we have so many followers.

I have more followers than I had when I was there. Now we're getting really close to 4 million, so I'm excited. We are going to have to have a party. I don't know what party we're going to have, but everyone's invited. Trunatives writes, Can you check into the illegal law fair being waged against Tiffany Henyard, the Supermayor in Illinois. They are using Jeddiah Brown, a Trump rally disrupter, and admitted DOJ asset to harass Mayor Henard. I have not heard about that at all. I'm not even going to pretend, and I can check it out, so my producer will make a note. Emilio writes, Love It helps me speak up without fearing cancel culture. I also bought Chaos and can't wait to read it. As a flight attendant, I'm very respectful when I see public figures in airports. If I ever see you, can I say hi? You can always say hi. You can always say hi to me if you see me. I'm not one of those people that doesn't like to speak to people when I'm out because I think I wouldn't have a platform. I know I wouldn't have a platform if it wasn't for all of you guys that support the show and watch it every single day.

I'm always very grateful to everybody. Despite what the public, what the press says about me, I'm very nice, so you can always come up to me. But you can't take pictures of my kids. That's my only rule. I'll say no photos of my kids and hand my kid over to someone. Amy writes, Thank you so much for providing, hands down, the best entertainment and reporting currently available. Thank you. I really, like I said, this case just got to me. My cousin Justin Baldoni, calling him my cousin, the reporter asked me today. She said, Have you ever spoken to Justin Baldoni? Nope, never spoken to him. Do not know him, but it's okay because that's my little cousin, and I'm not going to allow these bullies to on him. You know what we're going to do? We're going to have a kombucha day because it's my little cousin who loves kombucha and yoga, and I feel like he has tea tree oils and sage. We're going to have a sage and kombucha day. We're going to just be here for Justin Baldoni, my crazy little cousin who's just way too nice and needs to speak back to these people.

I mean, he really has mastered the art of restraint because I was very angry reading the messages that were written to him. I don't know how he was nice back every single time. Bling is the New Black says, Oh, my God, I've become such a huge fan. I would love to do some merch with you. Thank you so much. We're not doing any new merch right now. We just do our Santa's Cups, but there is some merch on the website, kandasowens. Com. Com. Bayly Croft writes, I just know Blake and Ryan are watching, and Ryan is gaslighting Blake to believe it's not about them. Yeah, absolutely. It's a bunch of crazy people who are all paranoid, and they're just wrong, and it's going to be a painful process. I think people are going to lose They're going to lose their... Because the public is watching this. The public is seeing this. It's going to hurt everybody that is involved. And yet they can't look away because they're all so used to getting what they want. They're all just these little narcissists in Hollywood who don't realize that the public hates them all. Speaking of which, by the way, I wanted to show you this because remember, so we found the metadata, we, I mean, literally all of us, and we publicized it on Thursday.

Then they refiled on, they amended their case rather, to include the metadata from all the internet slews, and that was on Friday. Well, over the weekend, the New York Times gave a statement to TMZ, and I want to show you. They are admitting via this statement, in my viewpoint, that we were correct about the metadata because what they wrote. I guess in the filing, they included one person who said that there was metadata which showed that they had the complaint before they published the complaint. That was not on this show. We never accused them of having the complaint before before they published. We accused them of October 31st and of December 18th, which shows that they had the messages and they were working on the story before Blake filed her complaint. They're using... This is like a beautiful PR strategy. I don't know, Scott, did we pull TMZ New York Times' statement on that? I may have actually have it on my... Yeah, while you're getting it up, I might actually have taken a screenshot of it because this is how PR works. I wanted to point this out to you. They're basically not answering the bigger part of it, which is Justin's team.

Okay, it says, According to new docs obtained by TMZ. Okay, that's Justin. Oh, you have it. Amazing. They wrote, The slews have noted that a version of the lively state complaint published by the Times carries the date December 10th, even though the complaint wasn't filed until more than a week later. The problem, that date is generated by Google software and is unrelated to the date when the Times received and posted it. At the top there, you can see it says, The Baldoni Wayfarer legal findings are rife with inaccuracies about the New York Times, including, for example, the bogus claim that the Times had early access to Ms. Lively's state civil rights complaint. A spokesperson for the newspaper tells us, Mr. Baldonia's lawyer is based on erroneous claims on posting by amateur internet slews who, not surprisingly, are wrong. They're not addressing October 31st or the 18th. They looked in, this is perfect PR, and they found some slew, which wasn't who said that they had access to the CRD complaint. We've never alleged that. We think that they were working on this story with the messages that they got from, obviously got from PR woman Stephanie Jones.

Really silly thing for her to do. Again, wouldn't be trusted to even work there. But the point being is that they only replied to the thing that was inaccurate. This is a case of the dog that's not barking, and this is how PR works. They're not saying, why didn't they say, there is all the metadata claims are wrong. They didn't. They went after one The Metadata claim that we didn't make, which makes me believe the dog that's not barking, the October 31st metadata is on the money, as is the December 18th Metadata that we pulled, which shows that the artist was working on this piece. We're showing you that, again, the artist working on the piece on the 19th. They had nothing to say about that. Also, the metadata that we pulled, which showed the October 31st date. New York Times is in trouble. I'm telling you, everybody keeps going. But if this was me, I'd be out. I'd be so out. There are going to The lost public trust here and the lost company trust for WME, Stephanie Jones, Leslie Sloan, who just is objectively a really bad me too. I'm a woman. I don't sit for depositions.

This is terrible for your company. What are you saying? What do you mean? You don't sit for depositions because you're a woman. That doesn't make you sound strong and fortified. I wouldn't want to hire you as my PR person. Like I said, everybody's trapping themselves with the same bomb, and the only person that's going to survive this is going to be Justin Baldon, my little cousin. Anyways, you guys also want to remind you lastly about American financing, because I know the average person finds it difficult to keep up with monthly expenses.

Also, people that were asking about the installment of the Rajit Macron series are supposed to go on our website today. I'm still hoping we're going to get that up in an hour. But to be honest with you, we have been undergoing DDoS attacks, so this may have to get bumped, and we're going to have to potentially put it on YouTube tomorrow We're working that out. Follow me on Twitter and on Instagram for updates regarding that. Don't worry, we are still doing this entire series, but we have undergone the most aggressive DDoS attacks all weekend. They did not let up. They did not stop. A lot of you guys were emailing us. We were aware that they kept bringing down our and my husband is saying this is a state-level attack because this is a very powerful attack.

That makes me, first and foremost, happy because they're nervous about this series. Thank you, everyone who watched the first episode in the installment of Becoming Brigitte. If you have not yet done that, you should go watch that. It's pinned to the top of our YouTube page. Also, for those of you that are looking for past episodes, and some people say, I can't see it on YouTube, you have to pivot over to the live column because we do the show live every day. I'm actually live. It's really me right I'm right here. They keep it, which I think is really foolish, in a separate tab. Just look for the Live tab and you can find our previous episodes. Okay, I'm going to answer a couple more questions, and then I'm going to go because it's been 67 minutes, and I don't think I have any more tea to spill. This person, Ethan, writes, Liz Plank really sucks. Yeah. Once you realize she just was bought and they put her in a Wrexham series, and that was the reason she turned on him in four seconds. Again, everyone wants to be an A-lister, and none of them are going to be A-listers.

Okay, This is basically like the casting couch, and none of them are going to get cast. Actually, this is going to be the worst possible thing because all of America is watching this, and this is leaving a bad taste in their mouth. We just left and right, whether you supported me to or you didn't support me, too, we all have a boundary when it comes to kicking kittens. That's it. All of us. I agree with you. It's crappy. The whatever podcast is here. Hello. They write, Hey, Candice, what is your favorite Deadpool movie? I've only seen one of them, and I wasn't a fan. I was like, this is like guy humor, I guess. It wasn't for me. I know a lot of guys like this. I could never watch Ryan Reynolds again because now I know that he's like... I don't know. I just feel like he's like, violent. He's got a little bit of violence in him. You know what I mean? I'm not saying he hits people when I'm saying to think that he's using acting as a tool to vent his frustration and potentially casting his wife as a bitch because he's angry about her behavior when he got home and didn't like flirty messages.

I'm working on another timeline, by the way, all of Ryan's footsteps. Every time Blake makes a little complaint or she fakes ill because the messages, the timeline, it just seems like she was ill too much. I'm realizing that it's when Ryan's home. He's filming, then he pops over, and then suddenly Blake is being a crazy person with demands. Then she's fine. She says, I'm uncomfortable. Then she flies Justin Baldoni on her plane with her kids to go to LA. Two days after, Ryan yelled at him in the apartment for saying, Don't you dare ask my wife's weight. That makes her uncomfortable. Don't do it again. They're all crazy. Justin's like, I'm sorry. I was just literally... I just said it to the trainer because I have this back injury. Two days later, Ryan's gone, and she's like, Hey, do you want to come on a plane with me and my kids? What? She's like two different people. I think it's who she is when he's there and he's making demands behind the scenes and he's taking her phone and he's writing emails and PR statements and who she is when he's gone. I'm working on that timeline.

I'm going to have that for you guys later this week. Tomorrow is going to be spent jumping back into the Brigitte McCrone series, as I said. I'm thinking that we're going to have to bring that episode here onto YouTube, but I'm still working on this like a psycho, so do not worry about that, you guys, whatsoever. Lastly, Peggy Wright, so disappointed in Fox News is outnumbered where the woman, including Harris Faulkner, took beside of Blake Lively because of the fat shaming that Baldonny did. Again, so disappointing. That's just poor research. That means that she didn't read the case. I mean, there was literally zero fat shaming at all. There was no fat shaming. Every time she alleged that there was fat shame, or she just read Blake Lively's complaint and didn't read the response to it, or she didn't go through, like I did every post of Justin Baldon, the years of searching for a cure for the pain that he has in his back and all of the yoga, kombucha stuff and going down to South America. He wasn't faking the injury. Long before Blake Lively was in the picture, he had these back problems, and he spoke about them publicly because it was a source of a lot of internal pain for him.

You cannot come out of understanding that and realizing that they gave him the trainer. He knew it was her trainer, and he was literally asking a question so he wouldn't re-injure himself. And so, Harris Faulkner is wrong, and you're right to be upset that she didn't do the research instead of believing that Blake Lively, who was the one that fat-shamed herself by saying, I want to lose another 20 pounds, when he said, Don't worry about your weight at all. She's the one that's problematic. And I think Ryan Reynolds is driving the bus. Wme. I would drop Ryan Reynolds about now. I'd be like, Listen, it's gone too far. Jason Hode, Jeff's husband. You're going to have to alpha a bit and be like, What do you have me in? There's some bad stuff coming. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying anything else. All right, guys. I think I got everybody's question here. Amy, thank you. She says, Thank you so much for providing hands I'm the best entertainment. Yep, we already said that. Bling is the new Black Rights. Oh, my God, I've become such a huge fan. I would love to do some merch with you.

We got that. Okay, I think I got everything. Oh, RN Explorer. Wow, Candice. My mind is blown. Mr. And Mr. Mccrone do not know who they are messing with. Yeah, I'm thorough. If I'm I'm going to bring something to the forefront, I am always going to be thorough. We'll keep going on with this thorough investigation, you guys. Please head to kannesowens. Com. We've worked so hard on this website. Sign up, support, join the Book Club, watch Shot in the Dark. You'll get time with me. First book of the month is going to be Chaos. It's going to be so great, and I look forward to meeting with you all. I'm really grateful for all the new followers that we have, the new supporters, and for you guys making it possible for me to do what I love despite the fact that the mainstream media hates me. But if it makes you feel better, I hate back. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
