Crisis mode triggered across PR firms!

“Game-Changer” in the It Ends With Us Saga: Blake Lively’s Real Reasons Revealed, Baldoni Lays Low in Costa Rica

Oh. My. God. Hello, my fame fam! It’s Perez, the queen of all media, your number one source for every juicy, unfiltered, scandal-soaked detail of the It Ends With Us meltdown that has turned Hollywood inside out. I’m still trying to process what I heard. I’m not exaggerating—this is a game-changer. And not just for the courtroom drama, but for how we talk about celebrity reputations, gender dynamics, and media manipulation.

Let’s unpack it all—together.

The NPR Bombshell You Missed

If you blinked, you may have missed it. On December 23rd, just days after The New York Times dropped their now-viral exposé alleging a smear campaign orchestrated by Justin Baldoni, reporter Megan Twohey appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered. Most of us never even heard the interview until now—but trust me, it’s everything.

During that segment, NPR host Ari Shapiro asked about the deeper implications of the case. Megan responded—and I quote—“Yes, that’s exactly right. And she [Blake Lively] told me…”

Wait. What?
Let me repeat.
“She. Told. Me.”

This contradicts months of public assumptions that The New York Times’ investigation was built solely on documents: the California Civil Rights Department complaint, leaked emails, and the infamous anonymous lawsuit filed by Van Xan’s ex-CEO, who never gave Baldoni’s team a chance to respond.

But no. Megan Twohey is on tape—her voice, her words—confirming Blake Lively personally spoke to her. That alone would’ve made headlines. But the real bombshell?

Blake allegedly told Megan:

“This was actually not the worst that I have experienced in Hollywood. I’ve actually experienced far worse misconduct.”

Yes. Blake Lively, in her own words, allegedly said this wasn’t even the worst.

Now that changes everything.

Wait—So Why Did She Go Public?

According to Megan’s interview, Blake didn’t want to go public. She said she only spoke up because she “wanted to address it quietly,” believed she had, and had no intention of making accusations public.

So what changed?

Megan goes on to explain that Blake experienced what she now calls “a complete campaign of retaliation.” According to her, it wasn’t the original harassment that pushed her to file a public lawsuit—it was what allegedly happened afterward.

“It felt in many ways much more sinister than the underlying misconduct.”

Let that sink in.
She’s saying the retaliation was worse than the harassment.

So What Does This Mean?

Well, it flips the entire narrative on its head. Blake’s legal complaint was initially seen by many as a stand against workplace misconduct. But now it seems it might’ve been more about fighting back against a PR war, not just calling out the original behavior.

And irony of ironies?
If she went public to counter the smear campaign… she may have unintentionally deepened the damage to her own reputation.

Because let’s be real—when the dust settles, fans and critics alike ask why now? If you’ve experienced “far worse,” as Blake said, why file a public lawsuit over this instance? And why allow your team to weaponize the narrative?

That’s where things get messy.

The Fallout: Damage Done?

The backlash has been brutal. Even among her once-fiercely loyal fanbase, the tone has shifted. On social media, users question her motives, accusing her of conflating true advocacy with image management.

“She said this wasn’t the worst, and yet this is what she takes legal action on?” one user posted. “I’m all for holding men accountable, but this feels strategic.”

And then there’s Baldoni. While the media continues to dissect every email, every production memo, every internal Wayfarer meeting, he’s gone radio silent.

Baldoni in Costa Rica: The Shirtless Reset

Just when you think things can’t get any more surreal, we get this—a shirtless Justin Baldoni lounging in Costa Rica, smiling with The Angry Therapist himself, author John Kim. The photo, posted to Instagram, shows Baldoni looking relaxed, tanned, and (sorry not sorry) absolutely unbothered.

He’s not just hiding. He’s healing—with friends.

Could it be strategic? Of course. But you have to admit—it’s one hell of a rebrand. While Lively’s team is spinning statements and managing reputational damage, Baldoni is letting sunsets and therapy selfies do the talking.

And if you think Blake’s team hasn’t noticed? Think again.

This Was a RADIO Interview, People

And before anyone says, “Oh, maybe Megan was misquoted”—nope. This was a radio interview. There is audio. We literally hear Megan say Blake spoke to her, say she experienced worse misconduct before, and that the retaliation is what triggered her public action.

No twisting. No speculation. Her voice. Her words. Game. Over.

My Final Thoughts

You know I live for drama, but this—this is different. This isn’t just about Blake or Justin or Wayfarer. This is about how stories are told and who gets to control the narrative. When celebrities use legal filings as a form of media strategy, what does that do to real victims? What does that mean for accountability?

If Blake truly experienced worse in Hollywood and stayed silent, but chose to go public now because of image retaliation, that’s complicated. And if she’s being honest about feeling targeted, that’s serious too. But it doesn’t erase the contradictions.

And that’s what the public is struggling with right now.

Let Today Be Today

I’ll end this how I always do—with love for the mess, and respect for the truth. These people are humans. They make mistakes. But when you step into the arena of public justice, you better expect the public to ask questions. And boy, are we asking.

To everyone watching this video—thank you for sticking with me, for commenting, and for keeping the conversation alive. Whether you’re Team Lively, Team Baldoni, or just Team Facts, your voice matters.

As for me? I’ll be watching every motion, every hearing, every Instagram post from Costa Rica.

And of course…
Let today be today.

See you in the comments,
Perez
