We’re listening to the Day by day Roundup right here as a part of the Actuality C Podcast. I’m your host, Actuality Steve. Thanks all for tuning in. A great Monday present for you. We’re going to talk about extra within the Blake Energetic, Justin Baldoni backwards and forwards that’s occurring. Her criticism, apparently his legal professionals are on the point of hearth again a countersuit towards her.
Blake’s publicist speaks out. Loads occurring. Sheena Shea speaks out for the primary time on James Kennedy. Squid sport two premiered on Friday. I watched the entire thing. Provide you with my ideas with out giving freely any main spoilers. And I would get to a narrative on individuals. com the place as soon as once more, they only went to Reddit, discovered one thing on there and put a entrance web page story about it but.
I don’t know if it’s even true or not, and I would get to at least one electronic mail reader electronic mail from you guys. We’ll get to all that momentarily. So, this week, I’m going to do Thursday’s weekly podcast, which is, effectively, Thursday’s January 2nd. Why did I feel it was the primary? Anyway I recorded one thing with Dave Neal already.
I used to be on Dave’s podcast. That’s going to air later this week, however I’m going to run it as my podcast as effectively for Thursday, simply because as soon as once more, actually powerful week to get anyone to return on. And Dave’s at all times prepared to return on, however I did his and I used to be identical to, effectively, I’m not going to name you proper again and report one thing for me.
Good dialog. Spent about 10 or quarter-hour speaking about my courting life or lack thereof. And sort of a few of the causes behind it and some good things. Speak loads in regards to the get together. So simply lots of good things in there. That’s approaching, on Thursday. That’s already finished. So simply wished to provide you a heads up there.
All proper. Let’s speak somewhat bit extra about Blake Energetic, Justin Baldoni, as a result of Justin Baldoni’s legal professionals got here out and mentioned, simply wait until we file this countersuit, we’re going to blow away Blake Energetic and no, no, no. They’re those which are placing out. A smear marketing campaign towards our consumer. It’s identical to, I knew this was coming.
I knew that’s precisely what his workforce was going to say. No, no, no, no. She’s doing the PR stuff. So Blake’s publicist will get out in entrance of that story earlier than we even see what Justin Baldoni’s legal professionals are going to say in retaliation to Blake Energetic’s criticism, Blake Energetic’s publicist, Leslie Sloan is denying the report saying that she planted false tales within the press about what went on behind the scenes with Justin Baldoni on the, it ends with us set.
Apparently he’s going to counter Sue and after the vacations and Blake Energetic’s publicist, Leslie Sloan is denying that she tried to tarnish. Justin Baldoni’s status by leaking tales to the media retailers, which is precisely what Blake had in her criticism, that that’s what he did. She mentioned, I used to be contacted on August eleventh by Sarah Nathan, Melissa Nathan’s sister, forwarding an nameless tip that web page six obtained relating to allegations of HR complaints on the set of.
After that, I used to be contacted by numerous press retailers about asking about allegations of HR complaints. When contacted, I responded Wayfarer or Sony for info relating to HR complaints. It’s clear that Mr. Baldoni and his Wayfarer associates are suggesting that I originated the press tales about HR complaints on set, which is fake.
Please learn Ms. Energetic’s criticism and the criticism filed by Jones works LLC and Stephanie Jones, which gives the main points of the marketing campaign towards my consumer. So I assume we sort of want to attend till Justin Baldoni’s lawyer information this countersuit towards Blake to see if he has proof of this, or it’s simply hypothesis.
Trigger not less than when throughout in Blake’s criticism, she confirmed us emails and textual content messages. Now, if you happen to take a look at what Leslie Sloan mentioned on this assertion. You may need to take a look at the criticism filed by JonesWorks LLC. There was extra that got here out on JonesWorks LLC. JonesWorks is a PR agency in Los Angeles.
And one of many those who labored at JonesWorks was Jennifer Abel. Jennifer Abel dealt with Justin Baldoni. At Jones works. Properly, Jennifer Abel didn’t get together with, I feel her title is Stephanie Jones, the founding father of Jones works PR and Jennifer Abel labored for her, however didn’t get alongside together with her. So Stephanie fired her.
And mentioned, Oh, by the best way, you already know, your, your final day goes to be right here is your final day. And one week earlier than Jennifer Abel, the one who ended up being in all these textual content messages and emails speaking in regards to the smear marketing campaign towards Blake one week earlier than she left Jones works PR, successful piece got here out on the enterprise insider about Stephanie Jones.
And it was principally traced to the truth that this Jennifer Abel lady was leaving. And now we sort of know precisely, as a result of keep in mind the primary query when this all got here out was, How on the earth did Blake’s individuals and Blake’s legal professionals come up with all these Justin Baldoni’s textual content messages and emails?
Properly, it’s clear that it got here from Jones Works. They needed to subpoena it, however Jennifer Abel, the one who left Jones works to go begin her personal and principally threw her outdated boss below the bus. Properly, that outdated boss had receipts. So we sort of know the way it’s occurring. Look, that is going to go on. This isn’t a narrative that’s going away anytime quickly.
We’ve talked about this. The subsequent factor we’re going to get is allegedly this countersuit and Justin Baldoni goes to counter Sue Blake Energetic and saying, no, no, no, she had a random smear marketing campaign towards me. And, however Blake’s publicist has already gotten out in entrance of him and mentioned, no, he didn’t. We completely didn’t try this.
So once more, I’ve at all times mentioned the smear marketing campaign stuff goes to be lots of he mentioned, she mentioned, granted Blake offered receipts, however now they’re saying there’s no context to it and there’s extra to it. Properly, now we have to attend till he countersues. However the one factor that isn’t disputable right here, seemingly. Is the stuff that she complained about on set in the course of the strike.
She mentioned, look, I’m not going again on set till these parameters are put in place. These protections are put in place for Justin and the CEO, whose title is forgetting me proper now of Wayfarer till they modified their habits on set. These protections have to be put in. Now, I don’t know if that meant she was going to stop or by no means be part of the film once more.
Justin agreed to it. If he mentioned none of this ever occurred, then we’re like 30 issues that she requested about habits on set. If Justin by no means did something, any of these issues beforehand, why would he agree to do this? Why would he comply with that stipulation? Appears bizarre to me. Minus the entire PR smearing backwards and forwards that they’re each claiming.
Which is likely to be powerful. I feel that you just’re going to lose lots of people as a result of workforce Justin’s going to say, no, no, no. See, Blake did it to him and workforce Blake goes to say, no, no, no. He did it to her till we see what simply inside has, if they’ve any proof or they’re simply claiming that they assume they know that Blake’s PR workforce tried to smear Justin pondering going to lose lots of people there, however you’re, what you’re not going to lose lots of people with is the best way she was handled on set in what she’s claiming.
So I feel. Like I mentioned, this, this story is much from over a lot extra stuff goes to get out, however I additionally do assume it’s huge that Atlas Corrigan, Brandon’s cleaner, her co star got here out in her protection. Jenny Slate got here out in her protection. And out of doors of Wayfarer, no person from the film has come out in Justin Baldoni’s protection.
And he was the director of the film and owns the rights to the books. Colleen Hoover hasn’t come out and supported Justin Baldoni. So he’s Oh, for 3 individuals in that film that have been huge names, both the author of the, you already know, the one who wrote the ebook and two main co stars haven’t come out and supported him.
So seemingly they know what to do. Went on on set and that’s going to be actually powerful for him. Sheena Shea spoke out for the primary time since James Kennedy’s arrest and. She mentioned I did as she mentioned this on her podcast on Friday She mentioned I used to be respecting Allie’s privateness as she requested so I wasn’t gonna say something on the podcast However I now see how that’s coming off by staying silent.
So I’ve spoken to Allie. I test in together with her typically I at all times have however I do know it looks as if if I keep silent you all by some means assume I assist his habits, which I completely do Not she mentioned she knew about Kennedy She, she took the data that was on the market and he or she knew about Kennedy from additionally his previous relationships.
She mentioned, quote, clearly I used to be very shut with Raquel for years. And whereas she at all times advised me that James was by no means, by no means bodily abusive, as everyone knows, abuse isn’t restricted to simply bodily and in the end it led to her. Exiting that relationship. I had lots of empathy for her. I wished to do something I might to assist and provides her a secure house.
After which she says, look, I hope James views this as a all-time low second and is severe about simply committing to a therapeutic plan versus simply seeing this as one thing that’s going to love destroy the world tour or residency or no matter. I’ve seen his title has been taken off sure exhibits and that may be a direct consequence to his actions.
And that is sort of what I mentioned to start with of all this. As soon as it got here out, it was like, look, He can apologize all he needs, although he didn’t even apologize. Trigger I assume apologizing is an admittance of guilt that you just did one thing, however he mentioned he was going to try to make himself higher, must be higher engaged on his sobriety, stuff like that.
And once more, these are simply phrases. If he doesn’t work on it and habits continues, then it doesn’t matter. And those who have adopted James loads longer than I’ve mentioned, this isn’t the primary time he’s needed to come out and say one thing and speak about his habits. And say, he’s going to get higher. So yeah, he’s misplaced lots of credibility with a few of his viewers and no person goes to imagine it.
It’s, this is sort of a time will inform factor. This doesn’t simply occur in a single day. Is that this man’s sobriety going away? Is, did he relapse, however he has to vary his habits and he needs to be pondering of it as, Oh crap. Now I don’t have any work. I don’t have Vanderpump guidelines. Fountain blue canceled me and I’m not a DJ there anymore.
Does he solely get native gigs? Is everyone that has employed him for a future gig? Have all of them canceled on him? I don’t know but. It looks as if the Vegas residency is completed, however being a DJ like him, I might assume he’s bought some new yr’s gig lined up, proper? Did he get kicked out of that? Has he been canceled from that?
I don’t know, however yeah, he ought to undoubtedly take a look at it as extra of man. I have to get my shit collectively versus, Oh crap. The place am I going to get my subsequent paycheck from? And the place’s my subsequent DJ gig?
