You might be listening to the Day by day Roundup right here as a part of the Actuality Steve Podcast. I’m your host, Actuality Steve. Thanks for tuning in on this Christmas day. In case you have a good time, Merry Christmas to everyone. In case you don’t, Blissful Holidays to everybody else on the market. Not a ton of stuff to go over right now. So we have now one story after which I’m going to learn a few reader emails that I acquired with some questions in it.
We’ll go over that. We’ll get to all that momentarily. So, one replace within the Blake Energetic Justin Baldoni case. Yesterday, I learn you what Brandon Skliener, who performed Atlas Corrigan within the film, supported Blake by posting on his Instagram story a screenshot Of the 80 web page criticism that Blake filed had a hyperlink to it that mentioned for the love of God learn this Effectively one other co star of Blake’s has spoken out in protection of her and that’s Jenny Slate I discussed Jenny’s identify yesterday as a result of I mentioned hey The opposite two largest names within the film are Jenny Slate and Hasan Minhaj.
And Jenny Slate performed Ryle, Justin Baldoni’s sister, within the film. Jenny Slate mentioned, as she launched a press release, saying, As Blake Energetic’s castmate and good friend, I voiced my assist as she takes motion in opposition to these reported to have deliberate and carried out an assault on her popularity. Blake is a pacesetter, loyal good friend, and a trusted supply of emotional assist for me.
And so many who know and love her. What has been revealed concerning the assault on Blake is extremely darkish, disturbing, and wholly threatening. I commend my good friend. I love her bravery and I stand by her aspect. So it’s one other feather within the cap for Blake that no person from the solid or crew or manufacturing has come to Justin’s protection.
Not superb for him. Now, his publicist, Jennifer Abel, posted on Fb yesterday to defend their actions. And so they mainly mentioned, Hey, we didn’t must do something. Her actions in previous interviews communicate for themselves. Which, once more, I get what they’re making an attempt to do right here. They’re his PR staff. And I believe the entire PR half about that is simply going to be lots of backwards and forwards as a result of Justin’s staff goes to say, Hey, her PR staff is making an attempt to make Justin look dangerous.
And Blake’s staff is clearly saying no, he had an entire PR smear marketing campaign. That’s why he employed these individuals, however they really have proof. Justin’s aspect doesn’t have proof and so they haven’t defended their textual content messages and emails simply but. So I believe there might be individuals on either side on the PR factor. And possibly you possibly can even make a case like, nicely, Blake’s making an attempt to spoil Justin.
Okay. However Justin’s conduct on set is what’s at play right here. She’s not making an attempt to spoil something. All she’s doing is speaking about what she went by means of on set. So I assume it comes all the way down to this. If you wish to say the PR stuff is simply too exhausting to differentiate who’s telling the reality, that’s high-quality. You’ll be able to nearly remove that from this entire criticism.
Learn the criticism and simply examine his conduct on set. Don’t even fear about, nicely, who planted this? And was there a smear marketing campaign? Personally, I believe there was, however even when you take that out of the equation, this man has to reply to her accusations of how he acted on set. And also you’ve already acquired co stars now coming ahead, defending Blake, which means they have been conscious of it too.
In the event that they have been on Justin’s aspect, they might communicate out in opposition to Blake, or they might a minimum of say nothing. They’re particularly coming to Blake’s aspect saying now they haven’t talked about specifics. They haven’t talked concerning the issues that she mentioned in her criticism. And so they haven’t mentioned, Oh yeah, I noticed that.
I witnessed it. However that is lengthy from over. We all know this. That is going to go on for some time now. Extra stuff goes to get out. There’s going to be tales about this most likely day by day if not weekly for the following few months. As a result of that’s all anyone goes to be digging. Particularly by means of the tip of the yr.
Like, there’s a brand new story on Us Weekly. Hell, there’s two to 3 new tales on Us Weekly and Individuals. com and EW. com each single day about this. You’re not going to have the ability to get sufficient of this story. And it’s solely going to get extra salacious. Clearly, we’ve heard Blake communicate out, not simply by her criticism, however she did launch a press release.
The following individual that everybody’s going to wish to hear from is Justin Baldoni. And he’s going to must reply to what about these accusations? He’s going to must reply to why did you agree to those parameters that she had set as much as return to filming? In case you didn’t imagine you probably did something mistaken, you understand, you understand, look, this might go so some ways, both Justin Baldoni goes to come clean with his conduct or he’s going full scorched earth.
And it’s simply going to assault Blake, which I don’t assume will play nicely for him. Positive. In a small area of interest viewers who’re ladies hating ladies, and so they simply don’t wish to like Blake Energetic. I’m certain that it’ll enchantment to them, however I believe if I’m him, I don’t know the way legally he handles it by way of, does he admit he did all these items, however.
I believe he wants to return out and truly say one thing in some unspecified time in the future, however possibly he can’t legally. I don’t, I don’t know since there’s a criticism in opposition to, you understand, he’s being sued for sexual harassment. Perhaps he’s not going to do a sit down interview or pen some kind of op ed, however that’s what individuals wish to hear from is Justin Baldoni as a result of Blake’s getting all of the assist proper now.
And when no person from the set is supporting you now and talking out on Justin’s behalf, To not point out what was occurring again in August. And we have been all like, that is so bizarre. He’s not showing with anyone from the film throughout a premiere week and purple carpet stuff. And the principle gamers within the film have all unfollowed him on social media.
It’s like one thing is up and now we have now our reply to what’s up. That’s actually the one story to go over within the leisure information on this Christmas day. I don’t plan on making this a 25 minute podcast, however there’s two emails I wish to get to first one mentioned, Hey, Steve, did you see the Joe Schmoe present is making a comeback this time and as a actuality competitors present, everybody in it is aware of it’s a prank, besides one individual.
They make him do some ridiculous stuff. Cat Deely from, so that you assume he can dance because the host it’s on TBS and it begins January twenty first. You already know, Final yr after I had Ingrid Wiese on, who’s the, who was on the primary, or excuse me, season two of the Joe Schmoe present, the one the place it was simply loaded with sexual innuendos and so they made it a bachelor sort present.
After I had Ingrid on was proper across the time that final yr, I wish to say final March or April, they have been operating commercials on TBS for the Joe Schmoe present, but it surely mentioned coming quickly. After which it simply type of disappeared. I hadn’t heard something about it in like a yr. Effectively, sure, we have now our reply now.
It will air on TBS on January twenty first. I completely one hundred pc might be watching it. I can’t let you know sufficient how nice this present was, particularly again when it got here out on the introduction of actuality TV. In case you actually wish to have snort, simply go on YouTube and Google Joe Schmoe present season two. Season one was good.
That like set the, laid the muse for these prank sort reveals, however season two, when you’re a bachelor. Or bachelorette fan. You’ll like season two of the Joe Schmo present higher simply because it’s a takeoff of bachelor and bachelorette the place they idiot two individuals to assume they’re on a courting present. Everybody else is in on it.
And simply the sexual innuendos have been fairly humorous. So go, go test that out as I’ve the hiccups. Nice.
