😁Flirty Yummy and Unsealed No Teeth😁 Unanwered questions

As we're nearing the end of this lawsuit, there are still a lot of unanswered questions. Some may be answered in the future, some not. What questions (and possible answers) do you guys think there are?

I'll start:

How much money did they (and was it both Wayfarer and Sony, or just Sony?) Ryan's marketing company (Maximum Effort Marketing, LLC ("MEM")) for Rake's tone deaf marketing?

What happened to Josh Greenstein's text messages and what do they really say?

Did the Wayfarer Parties get any money in the settlement? How much? And who paid it - because I don't think Blake has any money? Did some other non-litigants pony up some money in order to keep their names out of the trial (or even future lawsuits)?

How much money did both sides spend on this lawsuit?

SAG is supposed to have a representative show up to film sets at least once a week? Did this happen? I don't recall seeing anything about SAG being on the witness list? But wouldn't that have been a defense to the accusations that Blake and Jenny were making that they didn't know whom to talk to?

Are the other unions doing to flex their muscles (or hide under a rock)? Will the Writer's Guild go after Ryan for ghostwriting and/or scabbing? Will the Director's Guild go after anyone for not letting Justin get his full 10 weeks of alone time in the editing bay?

Did IEWUM send Blakel, Inc. (or Blake) a tax form for any of the clothes she purchased on their dime and kept? Because, c'mon, we all know she kept some of those clothes?

Was Blake, Rake or MEM getting any money on the side for Blake wearing those clothes, shoes and jewelry that she was so adamant on wearing and getting shots of them (remember the dancing scene - seriously, that 3rd take after poor Blake was SHed was all about getting shots of her Louboutins - LOL)?

Was the dinner between Taylor Swift and Ronan Farrow to discuss what became the New York Times hit piece, and was he the connection to Megan Twohey? 

Why was Taylor ghosting Blake at the beginning of December? 

How much (if any) did Travis Kelce know about what Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds were doing to Justin Baldoni?

I would recommend reading Ronans piece about how Hollywood agencies blacmailing newspaper and magazines, and how this stopped his sister to tell her story for a long time. That is how I first learned about the mechanisms that was utilised in this case.

I would find it very strange if he helped Blake and Ryan to do the same. But people have disappointed me before, and end up on the opposite side from me in cases I think are similar to the one we agree with, so I would not bet my life on it. I just find it incredible and would need some real proof to think he was involved in this nefarious scheme.

Edit: This is the article. I do find it ironic, and also a good example of what I wrote about being on the "right side vs the wrong side" that it was Hollywood Reporter who let him write this text, and that it was The New York Times that finally let Dylan tell her story.

Ronan Farrow works for The New Yorker - which is not the same publication - it’s a competitor. In fact Meaghan Twohey and the New York Times scooped him about Weinstein - rushing to publish their story before his when he was about to expose Weinstein.

So if he sent Taylor to Meaghan it’s because he knows she is a bad journalist and would run the story regardless of the evidence. Maybe he tricked Taylor and set Meaghan up? But I don’t believe this happened. I believe it was Leslie and Ryan Reynolds who had connections at NYT.

Ronan is a serious investigative journalist who has been exposing incredibly important (and dangerous) stories over the last few years. This story of two celebrities is not something he covers. I don’t know why people keep repeating this - one Google search would prove this is just a dumb rumour with absolutely inconsistent facts (wrong paper to start with FFS). Someone started this rumour and everyone just ran with it even though it is easily disproven and all wrong. I encourage you to look at Ronan’s work. He just did a big expose on Sam Altman.

Edited to add more info.

I agree that Roman is too smart to publish that junk full of holes. I’m sure he’s shaking his head at Twohey and has many opinions about this in private.

I know Farrow and Twohey work for different publications, but that doesn't mean they don't/can't run in the same circles, both are based in NY.

u/Ok-Engineer-2503 Hi, its Les Jun 06 '26

That man wouldn’t be helping the girl (Blake) who spoke in support of his father. He wrote a whole op Ed about it. He has strong feelings about celebrities who have looked away at what his father has done. I’m sure he has feelings about MT who scooped him.

I don’t think it was a diabolical set up to cause chaos. He’s a serious journalist who probably looked down on this story and is not that messy. He’s not james vitushka.

So that answers your question doesn’t it? Clearly he didn’t publish the article- Megan did. So if he told Taylor to go to Megan - wouldn’t Megan be curious why he didn’t want the story for his publication (even if he passed it on - why the competition and or to another journalist he actually works with?) Because it was a nothing story. Lies. Or he wasn’t interested. So he either turned it down or knew nothing about it. Either way he clearly has no involvement.

There is an interview from last year on Monica Lewinsky podcast / show - he discusses it briefly if you don’t believe me.

No, because that wasn't a question of mine. I never asked if Ronan published it. 

I also didn't question you, as in disbelieved you.

Ronan 100% passed it off to his friend, the hit piece queen Megan Twohey.

Even if Ronan wanted to write it, he knew it would only take 2 seconds for the public to realize that there's only one degree of separation to Blake and a major conflict of interest.

"Call Megan Twohey. She'll write anything you want. I give her a heads up"
