BLAKE LIVELY MANUFACTURES EVIDENCE & DV SUPPORT IN HER INSTAGRAM STORIES

BLAKE LIVELY MANUFACTURES EVIDENCE & DV SUPPORT IN HER INSTAGRAM STORIES

Blake Lively got caught in yet another lie exaggerating so-called evidence to fit her case and make Justin Maldoni look bad. And this is in regards to the Claire Iub audio that came out that was released and she took it completely out of context. And I feel Claire Aub downright lied within it. But that’s not fully what this video is about today. This video is going to be about her crash out in IG stories and a failed attempt at PR recovery for this. [Music] [Music] Welcome back to the channel. My name is Ashley Brianna Eve. I have over 15 years of experience in branding, marketing, and PR. and I use that knowledge to bring you behind the headlines of the trending pop culture stories. I have my hot chocolate today in my Trust No Headline merch mug. We’re going to look at this. I’ve been getting tagged. I took time off the channel. My channel is still getting hit with bans and demonetization and all kinds of flags. I YouTube won’t answer for me why, but I thought maybe some time off would help. Certainly helped me. My heart rate variance has skyrocketed. My resting heart rate’s gone down, but YouTube, it definitely didn’t help. So, I’m still looking into that. But, let’s pull up Blake Lively’s Instagram stories and have a look at what’s going on. Now, there’s a couple of angles I’m going to look at this through, but I want to start with the stories so we can get some context of what she’s doing for PR right now. And what she’s doing for PR right now is not leveraging what should be a bombshell drop. What we had there was the potential for Justin Baldoni to have been verbally abusive towards another woman. huge headline opportunity. And number two, we had the opportunity to prove that Steve Sarowitz and Justin and Wfair retaliated against Blake and Ryan. None of those things were proven on that audio. In fact, the complete opposite was proven. Steve Sorrow told Claire Iub, if you meet Justin, you’ll know what I mean. Well, how do you verbally abuse someone if you’ve never spoken to them before? So, it looks like Claire Aub lied in her declaration under oath with the court. So, number one, that came out in the audio. And number two, what came out in the audio is it very much appeared like Claire went into that trying to catch Steve saying something about Blake and Ryan. And he never really said anything bad. He said he would protect his company, but to me, protecting your company is not retaliatory. It’s defensive. So, if anything, this audio just showed me that Wayfair, Steve, Justin, and Jamie, and the whole crew was in a defensive position. Now, we see the holes in Blake’s story continue to be exposed. In my opinion, we see not just the PR, but the legal needle move further and further in Justin and Wayfair’s favor. Blake takes to her Instagram stories. She has this domestic violence impacts millions in the US. One in four women and one in seven men experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. But abuse is more than physical. It can also be emotional. got to be careful. I’m already upsetting YouTube digital and financial recognizing the warning signs of abusive and controlling behavior is important. So she posts a hotline. The second one is one in three. She added teen dating violence impacts millions in the US. She’s tagging this love is respect official says working to educate teens about healthy and safe relationships and providing resources earlier and appropriate education is critical for both prevention and activation. I don’t know what she means by activation. And this NDVH official, I’m wondering if she has some kind of partnership with them going on. NDVH official again, technology facilitated abuse. She also tags love is respect official. Technology facilitated abuse is a use of technology like texting and social media to bully, harass, stalk or intimidate a partner. This behavior is often a form of verbal or emotional abuse conducted online. She has one on emotional and verbal abuse. Emotional abuse includes non-physical behavior such as threats. She has one on financial abuse. Financial abuse often operates in more subtle ways than other forms of abuse. She has one on six common gaslighting phrases and she includes the eyeballs on it. Again, love is respect official is tagged. NDVH official is tagged. She has one on consent 101. Again, love is official is tagged and NDVH is is tagged as well. So, these are her Instagram stories that she’s choosing to put up at the exact same time that her story is falling apart. that Steve Sarowitz claims in this audio that the allegations Blake and Ryan are making are manufactured. At the exact same time, Steve Sorrow says, “You know, Claire, you would know this about Justin, too, if you ever met him.” I don’t know, Claire, didn’t you say that he verbally abused you by that point? How does that work if you’ve never actually met the man? At the exact same time that it’s very clear Steve Sarowitz was not saying they were going to retaliate. He said that it was manufactured these allegations and he would protect his studio. Now I can see how the way he described that could be seen as inappropriate. Absolutely. I 100% it, you know, it still makes me cringe a little bit of like I don’t know if that was the best way to put something. I don’t know. and it still wasn’t in the overall context that Blake Lively had alluded to in her lawsuit. And also, Claire seems to be lying. So, let’s look at the actually I want to take a step back first because there was something that not actually Golden said before this audio came out that made me realize why Blake wasn’t running ahead with this in her PR. So, let’s look at that first. But using it, publishing an illegally obtained recording can in and of itself be problematic. And so, my read on it is that they wanted to utilize it um let everybody know that it existed, let everybody draw their conclusions from it while still um protecting themselves from any liability for putting an a potentially illegally obtain. And they know whether it was illegally obtained. remember um a potentially illegally obtained recording out there and you know even a transcript could do that. Um I think that could certainly be uh that could certainly be read to be using an illegally recorded u conversation. It could be it could be deemed publishing it. Um so I think they were trying to ride the line. So I think it’s highly possible that they never sent it to the court at all. Um, now people are are saying, “No, the judge knows the judge has heard it because he knows that the person’s name’s on it.” And I’m not sure that that’s true because look, in the letter that got sends asking to keep a bunch of this stuff under seal, he says in paragraph two, um, exhibit one was confidential and it contains information of a personal and identifying nature regarding an individual that warrants concerned ceiling. So he says if disclosed, threatened to reveal the declar the declarance identity. They have told the court you will be able to tell who it is if you unseal it. I don’t know if that necessarily means that the judge himself heard it. So when the judge entered the order saying I’m okay. So overall, what N actually Golden says here, I think is really significant that Blake’s team, one, I don’t think they ever thought it would go this far, but number two, I think they were walking that line because there’s that potential for PR, very positive PR for Blake, right? Justin verbally abused this woman. Steve Starwitz made this egregious threat to this mystery individual that had problems with Justin. this mystery individual felt scared to meet with Steve because she was afraid of how he’s going to handle these issues around Justin and all this other crap, right? They wanted to walk that line. I also believe that they knew there were holes in this and that they know it’s illegally recorded. It’s not always legally record illegally recorded, right? Depends on the states people were in. But Blake’s team damn well knows and Claire damn well knows if this is illegal or not. I don’t think they ever thought any of them. Claire, Blake, Ryan, Ezra, any of them expected it to get this far. Therefore, I do believe that this was a piece which was being used for PR and they never expected the audio to actually get out and they never went forward with a PR campaign around it because imagine those amazing headlines for Blake. I mean, she’s been banging the Darvo me too drum all along. Imagine those amazing headlines if now it’s look, he did this to another woman. Look at how we were all treated. And not only that, all these women are treated bad by Justin, but Steve admits to this retaliatory campaign. These are amazing headlines. They damn well knew that’s not what the audio was going to show. And so when all of this came out, Blake did not move forward with PR because I think not actually Golden Nailed it. They knew there were problems with this and they didn’t want to draw any more attention to it. So instead, Blake is crashing out on her Instagram stories and with completely irrelevant PR moves on Google. Let’s pull that up. I mean, you just you are going to try and tell me, Blake, that this is a coincidence that you do not run forward with the bombshell that could have been that recording if it was all on the up and up. If it showed exactly what you wanted it to show, you’re not running forward with PR for that. You’re running for with PR on Blake Lively’s bra free in a red leather corseted dress with stiletto heels as she brushes brushes off Justin Baldon drama. You’re running forward with PR around Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds daughter looks so tall and very rare photo from New York City outing with famous mom. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds all smiles and new selfie amid Justin Baldon legal battle. That’s what you’re running forward with. That’s what you’re hitting the ground with with PR. And it’s just a coincidence. All of this came out in the last most of it 20 hours. So, what Blake is doing, I believe, is that was 100% intentionally meant to be used as PR, as it has been up until this point, but they were walking that line because I had them set on that Tuesday to be hitting the ground running with PR, which is usually what they do. On a Tuesday, they run with their campaign, but they didn’t. And that to me shows all their cards on the table. They don’t want to draw attention to it. They don’t want legacy media running with this because they know it pokes more holes in her story than it supports her. So then why does she go to Instagram stories? Well, it’s an attempt at story control, narrative control. the posting of domestic violence and abuse content is showing that she’s trying to frame this not just about her guys. It’s not just about me. It’s not just about the struggles I went through. It’s not just about Claire. Can we refocus on the bigger issue here? The systemic issues. You’re getting lost in the sauce focusing on me and Claire. In fact, there’s another issue I’m watching in Canada right now. I won’t muddy the waters here by getting into it, but it’s the same thing the PR team on the one side’s doing. People are getting into all the holes in the story and they’re attempting controlling the narrative by saying, “But look at all the systemic issues.” Okay, sure there’s holes in the story. All right, we kind of liars and continually lie. But but over here, systemic issues, government overreach, it’s basically the same thing that she’s doing, right? So, it’s refocus on the systemic issues that I’m talking about, not just a single personal complaint. Okay, you don’t like me. You don’t like Claire. Sure, I guess she’s a liar and I’m a liar and we’re all liars. But like, look at the bigger picture here. The problem is because everyone has seen all the holes all along. It’s completely opportunistic. It’s completely tonedeaf. And all it does is actually hurt her brand even more because she looks like even more of a liar. She looks at even like even more as someone that is leveraging movements around me too and violence. DV Shaa to get her name in the news to control a PR narrative. So while something like this can work in some situations, this situation and the one I’m following in Canada, it’s not working. There’s too many holes. Everyone already sees you as a liar and now this looks all opportunistic that you’re using people, you’re using situations for your own gain. Which the problem for Blake right now is that’s the whole problem with her and Justin is she used him, walked all over him, manipulated him and extorted him essentially and held the movie over his head to gain control. But all this does is underline her pattern. I also think it shows honestly a lack of clear PR strategy. I would almost wonder if her and her team are working together at this point. I’ve made jokes in the past and you know, not really jokes, but jokes. Are her and her husband even on the same page anymore? Maybe she was cut off from PR money because I don’t even think she’s on the same page. I don’t see a coherent narrative that ties everything together. And those random shares in her Instagram stories don’t have any sense of vulnerability. bringing her own story into it. Nothing. Because she doesn’t want you focusing on that. She wants you focusing on the bigger systemic issues. She’s speaking up for women. It’s almost this energy, which I think is why so many people find it so gross of it’s bigger than me. It doesn’t matter if I lied. It doesn’t matter if Claire Aub lied. We’re fighting for something bigger. And that’s why it feels so tonedeaf and gross. She would have been, in my opinion, better off not doing any PR. Maybe she could have run forward with a couple of these random ones about being balless and her kids height, but I think she would have been better off just not touching PR. Oh, we also have this one. Blake Lively latches on the hottest stars on Broadway and claimed she hasn’t spoken to Taylor Swift in months. She was also crashing out in her stories over that and Broadway and I didn’t pay that much attention to those ones to be completely honest. So, here’s what I think with Blake. If I was to look at what if there is a PR strategy, which I’m not fully convinced there is at this point, but if there is, she’s I genuinely believe she knows she’s drowning. I believe the fact that she didn’t move ahead with any PR in regards to this audio lays all of her cards on the table. She knows, she is aware that this is worse for her than better. But her teams lied over and over and over again. They lied about content creators us having met and conferred with them. They lied through their teeth about everything. I don’t believe at this point with her PR around this. I think what she’s trying to do, which is hard for me to even get my the words out of my mouth because Blake morals, you know, those aren’t words that roll off the tongue easily. But I think she’s trying to salvage some sort of moral authority and reframe that public conversation around values, what she’s claiming to be her values, but they’re not her values because we know her and her husband did the marketing through maximum effort of it ends with us. Even though she tries to blame Sony for the bad marketing of it ends with us, it was her and her husband. They did it all. We have the text messages where she says, “We’re basically like the mafia. I’ll take I’ll get rid of any bad ideas or lame ideas.” I mean, she did all the marketing. She made it so that you weren’t talking about DV. She made it so it was about florals. She made it so that you weren’t talking about uh the trials that Lily went through. So, that’s another reason why it just feels dead in the water because now she’s saying, “These are my values. Fighting for women, my values. Speaking up for teen girls, my values.” And we’re all sitting back. Anyone that has eyeballs and ears going, “Girl, where were you when you were marketing the DV movie, but instead you were going off on Britney Spears dress and your husband’s movie, right? We’ve all seen how she handled all of this. So, her trying to salvage some type of moral authority and reframe the public conversation to, well, it’s not about me. It’s a bigger issue is is just disgusting. It makes my stomach turn because the facts are the audio contradicted her narrative. The facts are the timeline fell apart for Claire. The facts are the media and the public caught up to it. And she’s in deep. I genuinely believe and something that I’ve said online the last few days. I think Ryan is the one that said I am you figure out a way but I am not testifying at this trial. Her own husband doesn’t want to be within like a hundred yards of her or this storm. Everyone in her life has thrown her under the bus to deal with this alone. Girl, you need to wake up. Blake, if you’re watching this, if you’re team and you still watch my you need to wake up. Your husband is saving himself over helping you. Your bestie Taylor saved herself over helping you. So instead of fighting the truth, instead of addressing the truth, because what do you say to this? She’s pivoting to the bigger meaning. So she she’s saying essentially even if you don’t agree with me, we can’t disagree about abuse, real abuse, right? It’s pervasive. It’s a problem. So she is values hijacking. She’s taking the values of the majority and pretending they’re her values to get her ahead in a PR war. But when your credibility collapses, and it’s collapsed a long time ago, you can try all you want, but people just see you for the monster you are. And I’m tired of this being framed as you hate women if you don’t believe Blake Lively. Every time Blake Lively has had a chance to get people on her side, it’s been another lie. So Blake’s trying to really force this narrative. Doesn’t matter about me. I’m a courageous advocate for women’s safety and systemic change, guys. And I think she’s even trying to distance herself from the image of her entangled in this lawsuit, which good luck with that girlfriend. That’s not going to go well. I just the problem Blake doesn’t seem to understand is this kind of pivot, this kind of PR is only going to work if the underlying underlying credibility holds. And she has none. When your own husband and best friend are running, when the rats are running, you’ve got problems. So, if we have the public who believes she’s weaponized survivor rhetoric for leverage in a PR war, she’s losing both the moral and the brand capital. She’s just further hurting her brand. And then she turns around blames everyone else other than herself. It’s Justin’s fault. It’s everyone else’s fault. The content creator’s fault. Everyone’s hurting my brands but me. Everyone has it out for me. And I think this is genuinely the problem we see with people that are just surrounded by yesmen and grow up in industries like this where people are just fawning over them to get them whatever they want. I genuinely believe there’s a piece of Blake that cannot literally cannot see that she’s the problem. So I think this was high risk and that’s why I’m not completely sure that her team was in on this. I think it was high risk to crash out with story after story after story after story about DB because people aren’t buying it instead of people buying into that message of like she’s just a misunderstood advocate like she’s just misunderstood and whatever, right? That that blame the victim narrative that Blake wanted to put forward instead of that of like people just want to blame women. People just want to blame the victim. She becomes a celebrity who cried me too to save face. She’s a celebrity that leveraged TV organizations to save face. And that’s exactly what she’s turning out to be. And I honestly, guys, would not even be shocked if you see her start teaming up with organizations like this. She may have damaged her reputation so bad they won’t even support her. But I would not be shocked if you start to see Blake actually team up with DV organizations. It’s just so tonedeaf. But she doesn’t care. All this is is trying to salvage her brands. And it’s there’s no coherence to any of this PR right now. She’s bra free. Her daughter’s tall. I do think she was behind this TMZ article here. Justin Beldon Studio Honcho calls Blake Lively’s accusations manufactured and recorded phone call. Now, let’s just go through this quick. It says, “There’s a new audio recording in the Justin Baldwin Blake Lively Saga, and it reveals Justin’s business partner trashing Blake’s allegations of inappropriate behavior during a secretly recorded phone call. Claire Aub who wrote and directed a film called Empire Waste produced by Wayfair and Baldoni says she recorded the phone chat with Wayfair’s billionaire co-founder Steve Sarowitz says in September 2025 declaration clear said she endured repeated negative interactions and verbal abuse from Baldoni which in the audio Steve says you would know the same if you met Justin so I don’t know how that’s possible. So it says that’s why Claire recorded the audio and the audio filed by Lively’s attorneys. Sarowit says everything was made up and it was manufactured on purpose to take Justin down, referring to the drama during It Ends With Us. He added, “Justin never has a bad set, but it was the worst set he’s ever been on. Still, Sarowitz tried to downplay all the bad buzz.” Later in the recording, Sarit seems to vent about the ongoing case between Baldon and Lively, telling Clare, “Now here’s the thing. He doesn’t continue. He doesn’t vent about it. Claire keeps digging and proddding and pushing until she gets what she wants. And this is where the two dead bodies come in. And he says, he clarifies, he’s like, you know, not dead, but dead to me. Kind of dead. And then Claire in the audio goes dead to me. Like she does a funny voice joking around with him on it. And he says, I’m going to spend a lot of money. Make sure the studio is protected. So again, protected, not retaliation. And then TMZ just does a little bit more here. Now people are getting all up in arms over exclusive. I think people are misunderstanding another PR professional’s um Tik Tok reel about exclusive exclus like I genuinely believe that Blake called and tipped off Tamzy. Like I genuinely believe that they were tipped off. And even the wording like this could have been Blake’s team for example that fed them this to like just post it. That happens where someone reaches out and is like here you go. And I’ve talked about this pre previously in an age where newsrooms, TMZ, content creators that are chasing headlines, all of that is moving so fast. Some publications won’t even read or vet or double check the information. If if the PR team sends them something, they’ll just post it as is. So, it is very possible that this exclusive isn’t some like lie on TMZ’s part. It is very possible that this entire thing was written by say for example Blake’s team and sent to TMZ. So I think we’re just misunderstanding a bit the exclusive part. Um I wouldn’t be surprised if Blake’s team sent this to them already done. Right. Even that language and it reveals Justin’s business partner trashing Blake’s allegations of inappropriate behavior during a secretly recorded phone call. I mean, it’s definitely Blake slanted, so I wouldn’t I would not even be surprised. I don’t think TMZ listened to a 38 minute audio recording. Ju just putting it out there. I don’t think that is what happened. I think they were probably sent this minute clip. They were probably sent more or less what to say and they just posted it. That’s my opinion because there there no there’s no way they listen to I don’t believe it. Unless someone sends me a video of the TMZ staff sitting there for 38 minutes listening. I don’t believe they listen to the whole thing to take out a minute. I think that was sent to them. And so yes, it is an exclusive if a team reached out and sent it to them. It doesn’t matter if the information’s public. Now, the weird thing for me and what I can’t really wrap my head around, I’ll be honest, is if you even put in Blake Lively audio, that’s the only thing you get. The other Blake Lively audio that comes up is listen to Justin Baldwin’s lengthy 2 a.m. voice memo to Blake Lively. No one’s running with this. And that’s why I’m not totally convinced that there’s any coherence on Blake Lively’s side that they’re working together or even agreement on how to handle this because that doesn’t make sense to me. There’s one post from TMZ, no one else picks it up. And this is also something to see guys because what I talk about on the channel is, you know, even from just inside when you see it blow up a story and all of these different channels are covering it, all these different publications and it’s flooding flooding the Google search. I mean, it’s a telltale sign that it’s manufactured PR. Like, it’s PR. It’s not just naturally being picked up because look it, no one’s picking it up. But the reality is as well, and I do wonder if this is a piece of it, is overall views are going down, interest is going down in the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni lawsuit. I’m seeing it across content creators content. People are losing interest. You know, sometimes if you have like big news, you might get a spike. I’ve noticed less and less platforms picking up stories on them. So, you know, that could be a piece of it as well. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out, but something’s not adding up with Blake’s team right now. Something’s not adding up with her team and the PR cuz it doesn’t make sense that they had posted that kind of went nowhere and she’s crashing out on her Instagram stories. I guess we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. But that is my thought or those are my thoughts on Blake Lively crashing out on her Instagram stories. It’s an attempt at narrative control and shifting it from the individual level to look at the systemic issues that I’m a voice for. It’s not about me or Claire. It’s about the bigger issues here. And I mean, you need credibility for that. So, good luck with that, Blake. All right, my friends. That’s all I have for you today. I hope you enjoy. With that, I’ll see you in the next one. Bye, guys. What I found nobody wants to be here.

Claire Ayoub’s audio was released… and it has sent Blake Lively into a tailspin has it appears her & Claire manufactured evidence about Justin Baldoni & Steve Sorowitz.
