It Ends With Us: Part 21 - Betty Brands, Unsealed Texts, and the Settlement Switcheroo

It Ends With Us: Part 21 - Betty Brands, Unsealed Texts, and the Settlement Switcheroo

After Blake Lively's team filed to pursue legal action post-settlement, this pod took a turn. It now begins with the continuation of unsealed documents shared in the May 4 drop, but then pivots what Lively's legal team filed and how Justin Baldoni/Wayfarer's legal team just responded. The unsealed May 4 documents include new texts between Blake and Colleen Hoover, Blake and Liz Plank, Blake and Isabella Ferrer, as well as texts from Alex Saks and Ange Gianetti. Each set of texts further illustrates the different grievances and issues each woman had with production and/or Justin Baldoni. In the end, this case provided a valuable sneak peek into the movie and pr industries and served as a cautionary tale, regardless of profession, about how we treat each other and how we see ourselves.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

It Ends With Us: Part 20 - The Settlement, New Texts, and Info from the May 1 Document Drop

On Monday May 4th, the Lively and Baldoni legal teams announced a settlement. After 18 months, and two weeks before jury selection, the highly publicized battle is over - or is it? We review the settlement language and delve into myriad documents from the May 1 drop that I think contributed to the parties finally deciding to drop the issue. New texts and information from the May 1 document drop help to answer key questions and show why a trial would have been a spectacle of epic proportions, one that neither side would have benefitted from.  Part 21 will be released later tonight that presents new information from the May 1 drop about Blake's business endeavors, as well as more texts and exchanges that paint a clearer picture of sentiments from the women on set.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Recap: RHOBH S15, Reunion Parts 1 & 2 (uncensored & extended versions)

The main theme of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunions, thus far, is witnessing the remnants of the Fox Force Five dwindle by another member as Dorit completes her detachment from Erika and Kyle. Newbie Amanda is a favorite target for the group as they eagerly critique her perceived offenses while also displaying astronomical levels of hypocrisy. Boz and Amanda address digs made at each other, Kyle continues to mourn her marriage and postpone divorce, and Erika tries her hand at comedy with a bit about prioritizing heart and soul over materialism. Highlights include Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly fulfilling their roles to add levity and personality to the room, and Kyle crashing out as she goes over a laundry list of past issues with Dorit.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Recap: The Valley, Season 3 Episodes 1-4 Binge Session

Full immersion into the first four episodes of The Valley, Season 3, as a mental health break from America's latest devastating development. The first batch of episodes re-introduce all the familiar cast members. Plus, we meet Brittany's old friend/new boyfriend, Jesse's litigious love interest of Season 2 lore, two babies, and the infants fathered by those big babies that won't stop crying to their overwhelmed wives about being neglected. We see Brittany and Cruz thriving in peace, Kristen and Nia navigating their "fourth trimester" and whiny husbands, Jasmine prepping for her wedding, Zach and Benji finally living together, Schwartz being forced into storylines, Lala and Michelle butting heads with Jasmine, Jesse still making digs at Michelle, Nia and Janet still at odds, and Danny and Jason maintaining their hard feelings depiste Luke appointing himself their mediator. With Jesse and Lacy becoming a new featured couple on the show, the cast encourages Michelle to date Schwartz while we all shudder and rest easy knowing she's now dating Dr. Dre. The issues between Kristen and Janet haven't let up, and Brittany continues to be stuck in the middle deeper than a tick buried in the steepest holler in Kentucky.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Movie Reviews and Summer House Scandal 101 with Kiki Monique/The Talk of Shame

A review of the best, and worst, movies and shows I've watched lately, followed by a full rundown of the current Summer House scandal. The movies and shows in this batch include Love Is Blind, Hacks, Euphoria, Masterpiece Theater's The Count of Monte Cristo, Hamnet, and Send Help. Explaining the Summer House scandal begins with Kiki Monique providing background on the relationship dynamics between Ciara, Amanda, West, and Kyle that gives context to why this is such a big deal. Then, we discuss why many people see this as worse than "Scandoval", and dissect the nonsensical choices and reasons given for such a betrayal. As I was editing that conversation with Kiki, the first leaked audio file from the Summer House reunion hit the streets, then, another, and another, all amidst stern statements from Bravo and a flurry of theories on who the culprit could be. A summary of that off-screen mess has been added to close out the pod.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
