In this video, we look at three major headlines surrounding the It Ends With Us lawsuits (Which then causes me to go off track into the Ronan Farrow & Taylor Swift connection)!1. The “Fake Press Junket” VideoWe look at the awkward behind-the-scenes clip of Blake Lively directing Ryan Reynolds, Brandon Sklenar, and even Ryan’s mom in what looks like a staged press junket. 2. The Taylor Swift + Ronan Farrow ConnectionA recent article claims Blake and Taylor are still close, but who planted that story—and why? This prompts me to mention something I have been meaning to cover for some time: How Ronan Farrow & Taylor Swift publicly met around the time Blake Lively would have started working with the New York times. 3. Blake Lively Skips the Met GalaShe’s a Met Gala staple, so why skip 2024? I explain why showing up this year would’ve been a branding disaster—and how skipping it is actually the smartest move she could make right now.If you’re watching the It Ends With Us drama unfold and want to understand the real media strategy at play, this video pulls back the curtain.Make sure to like, subscribe, and hit "get notifications" so you don't miss new videos!#ItEndsWithUs #BlakeLively #TaylorSwift #RonanFarrow #MetGala2024 #CelebrityPR

Blake Lively just made one of the worst PR moves in Hollywood history, and she doesn’t even realize it yet. Instead of just hiring a crisis PR team, she brought in Nick Shapiro—a former CIA Deputy Chief of Staff and senior advisor to Obama—a man with a history of media manipulation, intelligence ops, and political cover-ups.And now? Citizen journalists are paying attention.In this deep dive, I expose the shocking connections between Hollywood, the media, and intelligence agencies—connections that Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Ari Emanuel probably don’t want you to see.What This Video Covers:🔹 Blake Lively’s PR Disaster: Why hiring Nick Shapiro was the worst move she could have made.🔹 Who Is Nick Shapiro? His CIA background, his role in the Obama (and Biden) administration, and his expertise in crisis management (aka narrative control).🔹 The Hollywood-Politics Connection: How Ari Emanuel (Hollywood’s most powerful agent) and his brother Rahm Emanuel (Obama’s Chief of Staff) tie into this mess.🔹 The CIA & Media Manipulation: A breakdown of how the CIA has used journalists, Hollywood, and the press to control public perception—including Operation Mockingbird and modern disinformation campaigns.🔹 Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively: How this legal battle has spiralled into something much bigger than just a PR war.🔹 Citizen Journalists Are Watching: Why this exposure means Hollywood can’t control the narrative anymore.💬 What do you think?
