It has become nearly impossible for one narrative to reign supreme through mainstream and legacy media alone.

Corporations no longer own our voices. They no longer own truth or our information or our evidence.

Welcome back to episode two of the Red Cooper Show. I am so excited about this episode.

Like seriously, for the last six weeks, I have been watching this

unfold. I have been tearing out my hair, wanting to talk about the story. I have had you people

DMing me, messaging me, tagging me in things, being like, Brett, just like go live and talk about

this. But I know that it is a big enough story. So I wanted to do it in a proper format and make this one of the first

episodes. But obviously, we must talk about part two and now part three, four, five, six,

and seven of the Blake lively Justin Baldoni scandal. And if you are interested in ad-free

episodes and exclusive content, check out the link in the description below for my new subscriber-only platform, Cooper Confidential. Go check that out. There's lots of information in the description and on the website. Hope you guys enjoy. All right, let's get into it. So to start off, I just want to do a recap in case you are not caught up on this drama or we need to have our memories jogged. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni did a movie together and it is called it ends with us.

It is based off of a book by Colleen Hoover, which is a kind of a controversial author.

Some people say that it's a stretch to even call her an author if you have read some of

her books, but whatever you can have your own opinions on that,

but the book is called It Ends With Us. And Justin Maldoni and Blake Lively play the leads,

but Justin Maldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, produced the film, he directed it,

he started it, and then Blake Lively came in as the star and then kind of took over production on the film. At least that is what

we saw back at the end of this summer as everything was starting. So the reason why we kind of

understood that things were not, as they seemed, that there was trouble in paradise, is that Blake

Lively and the cast of it ends with us all mass unfollowed Justin Baldoni as the film was about to premiere.

And it was very suspect because Justin Maldoni was the one who first got the option for this book.

He had been driving the production literally for years before they even started filming.

He was very, very close to the project.
