Let's dive in, baby. This is no filter with Zack Peter your go to source for all the latest pop culture and reality tvt Serve fresh all week long. Now let's dive in. What's going on, everybody? Welcome on in. Welcome on in. Welcome on in, everybody in the club. If you guys had a great weekend, I hope you guys. Sorry, I'm adjusting something on the soundboard. There we go. I hope you guys had a great weekend. I hope you enjoyed some family time, some friend time. Maybe you did some holiday shopping. Whatever you needed to get done. I hope you did it and I hope it was fun and successful. What's going on? What's going on? I just, as of this morning, ordered my Christmas tree. I have not had a Christmas tree. I've had small ones like the. The mini trees that I've had in my apartments in the past. And then when I got my dogs, I didn't. Cause then I was like, that's gonna be a disaster and that's gonna be a mess. And I was a little reluctant to getting a Christmas tree at all. I haven't even brought up my Christmas decorations. And then finally this morning, I saw one of my or someone that I know posted about their tree and I was like, you know what? Let's just commit. So. So I got my tree. It is on its way. It'll be here later this week. I'll put it up, maybe do some decorations. I'll maybe get some festive holiday candles that I'll have lit. I think I want to do like a little holiday get together. Maybe like a New year's get together. I don't know. Something we'll see. But yeah. Copper Mountain says what? It's a fake tree. I can't do a real tree with the dogs and just like, it's way too messy. And our space, like, listen, we live in a downtown high rise, like, spaces is. You have to be smart with your space. Christina has three trees up. Oh, my goodness, Christina. Three trees is crazy. Cater says or Jader says. Great weekend. So far. I have knitted six scarves to hand out to the homes. Okay, first of all, I love that knitted scarves. Wow. I love that you're knitting. Thinking of the homeless at this time. I think that that's incredible. We obviously raised some money for the homeless homeless, not Toothless. What was the rescue mission here in downtown la? We raised some money in honor of my friend Jeff, who was a big support for. Big, big supporter of, you know, trying to end homelessness. So I'm glad that you're doing that. Copper Mountain says I got my fake tree up. Game changer with watering and the mess. Yeah, Listen, as much as I love the real trees, we just have to be honest. They're a little. A little challenging. Okay. I have to get some holiday candles. I think I'll go to. Where am I gonna go to Target. Target usually has some good, like, festive, fun stuff. So Laurie's like, I give out to our homeless shelter here. Oh, suddenly everybody's out here saving the homeless. Laura's like, don't give her all the credit. What if she's knitting scarves? I go to the homeless shelter and I help the homeless shelter. Are we all trying to one up each other with our fake trees and our helping the homeless? The homeless, not Toothless. Jessica says, I have three inside and one on the front deck. You have three what inside and one on the front deck. Three Christmas trees or three homeless people? We need clarification. Do you have three homeless people or three Christmas trees that you have inside and one on the porch? Because, listen, these days, you never know. I mean, you can find a homeless person on the porch all the time. I bring out my trees in the beginning of November, and I do fall trees and then switch to Christmas. Wow, you do fall trees, Ashley, that's crazy. Fall trees is a commitment. Muse Studio said, sorry, but all three trees are mean girls who are completely detached from reality. Oh, all three. Oh, you're talking about Taylor, Selena, and. And Blake. Okay, well, we'll get to them in a second. I want. I'm listening. About people bringing homeless people into their homes for the holidays. I think that's so sweet. Special case. As people drove onto our property to cut down our trees for Christmas. Terrible. Who cut down your. Was it ice? Was it. Did somebody report your trees? And they're like, oh, these trees are. These trees are undocumented. We got to chop them. It's a chop. It's a chop. I remember that during. During COVID days when we were all on TikTok and we're like, it's a chop. It's a chop. I'm so. Who. Why is somebody chopping down your tree? Just some random person Just drove onto your lawn and chopped down your trees. I'm very confused. I feel like maybe they were undocumented, but Special case says no. A bunch of people from out of town. People from out of town? You think I just fell out of a coconut tree? People from out of town just what they streets with machetes and they were just like, let's chop down all the. Like that's crazy. Do you realize that sounds like a crazy coconut tree story? What? People are just walking around with machetes? Please. That sounds crazy. I'm not doubting you. I'm just saying that sounds crazy. Quarter fate says, haha, no more real trees. After praying mantis all over the house one year and spiders another. Yeah, I. I feel like real trees are going extinct. Real Christmas trees. As much as I would love to have them, I feel like they are going. Going extinct. Special case says yes. I live next to the federal forest. So you live next to the federal forest, and of all the trees in the federal forest, they chose your house to chop down the trees? Were they Christmas trees? Were they maybe trying to give them to underprivileged? Like this bitch has too many trees. We're going to go chop down some of her trees and give them to. To the homeless people? I don't know. I'm just trying to make sense of your story. It's not my story. I'm just trying to understand it. August says real trees are a lot of work and they're messy. I know. Michelle says too many needles everywhere. Again, we need clarification. Too many needles because of the Christmas tree or too many needles because of the homeless people? We need to be clear. We're talking about two very. Two very different things. But the terminology, the vocabulary is very overlapping. Michelle, where are there too many needles from your Christmas tree or are you hanging out on skid row? Because either way you're going to find lots of needles. I'm just saying we need clarification. We keep missing the boat with all of these random comments. Next thing you know, you're going to be like, no, it smells like shit. And I'll be like the streets or your Christmas dream. Special case says on 60 acres. Yes. They were driving Lexus and BMW. Oh, we're getting more to the story. Okay, plot twist. You have 60 acres. You had 60 acres of trees. I'm having doubts. Yes. They were driving Lexus and BMWs throwing a bunch of trees on top of their cars. It was nuts. What? What? That sounds wackadoodle. It is wackadoodle. Time. You are so. You're quick on it today. It's Monday. Pop pop. From unsolved mysteries to unexplained phenomena. From comedy goal to relationship fails. Amazon Music's got the most ad free top podcasts included with Prime. Because the only thing that should interrupt your listening is, well, nothing. Download the Amazon music app today. Molly says, I put up 12, 312 themed trees in my front yard. All art. Okay, what is it with all the trees? How are you people? I thought we were in a recession. I thought the economy was hurting. And we got. With 12 Christmas trees that they're just putting out just on their front lawn and homeless people on their decks. I'm confused. Like, what? How are you guys affording all these damn Christmas trees? I just bought a Christmas tree and it wasn't cheap, and I only bought it because it was on sale. And now we have 12 Christmas trees. How big is your lawn again? I thought we were in a recession. I thought the people were really hurting because the eggs were too expensive. And now here. That's why you can't afford eggs, Molly, because you're out here buying all the Damn Christmas trees. 12 Christmas trees. Now you're getting greedy. Okay, I'm just going to say that. One, two. Okay, maybe if you got a giant house. Three. But 12 Christmas trees for just your front yard, That's a little. That's a bit much. I'm not going to lie. Okay, we have to move on because the comments are like, you spent 10 minutes talking, ranting about Christmas trees. Bah humbug, bitch. Bah humbug. We're going to talk about Christmas trees. Jesus is the reason for the season. And it's Merry Christmas to all. Okay. I mean, or Happy Hanukkah or, you know, Kwanza, Whatever you celebrate this time of year. I don't judge you. I celebrate Christmas, so I want to spend time talking about Christmas. Merry Chrysler. Oh, they're recycled trees. I refurbished half an acre. How. Not only do you guys have all these Christmas trees, you have all these acres. What? How do we get. We're moving on. I have too many questions. I love you. I really do. I say. I'm saying my activation is out of love. You have recycled trees. That's where the trees. The b. I found the BMW and the Lexus. Molly was the one. She's like, I got recycled trees. Yeah. From someone's some other bitches yard that. This is what happened to the Christmas trees. Molly is out here and now she's saying that they're recycled. Recycled is code for stolen, Molly. I'm just going to say that recycled sounds like it's code for stolen. Zach is spicy today. Zach is spicy every day. The Matt R. Christmas special. I do want to see that. I do want to see it, but I'm glad that we cracked the code. Molly's the one out here stealing all the Christmas trees. She's refurbishing them, and she's not even putting them back in the community. She's putting them in her front yard. She's like, I got 12 trees. Well, don't say that, because then the BMWs and the Lexuses are going to go to your house, and then they're going to take all 12 of your Christmas trees. They're going to be like, jackpot. They're like, we went to the. The poor bitch with six acres and three trees. Let's go to the rich bitch. She got 12 trees. They're going to come for your trees. Come to Canada, Zach. 60 acres of trees everywhere. I don't want the trees. I don't have room for all the trees. I just got one Christmas tree. I just ordered my. My first Christmas tree that I bought all by myself, all by my lonesome. I bought my first Christmas tree. And then everybody's out here like, Well, I got three trees. I got six trees. And then we got 12 trees just on the front lawn. I was happy with buying one tree. And everybody's out here with their acres and their trees and their homeless people. So you know what? Sorry. That I'm just on my very first Christmas tree. I apologize. Okay? I apologize that I'm not quite there yet. We should all send Zach Christmas decorations. Listen, I love you all, but some of you, we don't have the same styles. I was having this conversation with Molly and Donna this morning because we were looking at Bethenny Frankel. She was just featured in Architectural Digest, and we were like, ooh, this home should not be featured in Architectural Digest. Apparently, other people were saying the same thing. So not everybody has the same styles and aesthetics. And I appre. I know you guys all have lovely aesthetics, but you're gonna be sending me, like, Santas and grinches, and then Donna's gonna send me a Star of David, and I'm like, how do I put all of these things together in one apartment? You know what I mean? Like, we would need a theme. We would need a Pinterest board. We would need a color scheme, and then maybe I would trust it. You know, Lori says, well, I just have One tree and a decorated mantle. You know what, Lori and I respect that. Lori's like, you know what? I'm not up in here to try to steal the thunder from everybody else. I don't need 13 trees. I like your style, Lori. Laurie's like, I'm going to be humble. I'm going to be respectful. I'm going to save the turtles. I don't know. Okay. I like snowman. Okay. And that gets our random comment of the week. I'm surprised. Didn't come from Danielle. You actually made my husband LOL by confusing homeless people and Christmas trees. I did not do that intentionally, okay? Michelle was out here talking about needles, and I was like, I just need clarification. That's all. That's all, Zach, just get your cousin Helen Keller. No one will know any better. You know, I don't want Helen Keller helping me. Well, I don't know. Bitch seems pretty smart. My aesthetics are my homemade kids ones and family. Baby, first Christmas. Oh, that's so cute. That is adorable. We love. Do you do the popcorn? I've actually never seen anybody. I think that's all bullshit. All those things that we saw on TV with the grandma. And then she puts the. The needle, the pin needle, not the drug needle, but the needle through all the popcorn. And then you do the popcorn. You string it around. That also sounds like a mess. Could you imagine how much popcorn and kernels you would have everywhere from doing that? And then all the tinsel on top of it. Some people do crazy trees, okay? It ends with. And it ends with us. Tree. You know, Michelle, I don't hate that idea. I actually kind of love that idea. Does Donna have a Christmas tree? That's a really good question. Let's see. Let's ask. You know what? Let's call. She's probably not gonna answer. She's like, I'm at the gym. Why are you calling me? I just don't know. Maybe she hangs the star of David the Menorah. Oh, Donna, we're live on the show right now, and the audience wants to know, do you have a Christmas tree because you're Jewish? I don't. I do normally, yes. This year we haven't put it up because of the puppy. She would, like, take it down, but normally we do. Yeah, see? But not. But. But Lance. Lance is not Jewish. Oh, really? Celebrate both. Oh, so you. You're like. You're like the. The. The show on Netflix. Nobody wants this. Yes. I'm the rabbi. He's the Kristen Bell. He's the Non Jew. He's the Kristen Bell and I'm the rabbi. Interesting. Call me Rabbi. Donna, Ariana wants to know, but is he circumcised? Blake Lively is wondering. Yes, Lance is circumcised. And, and yes. And he's not converting. We do it all here. I love that. It's how very inclusive of you, isn't it? I think perfect marriage. I love that. Okay, well, we just needed that confirmation from you. Now I'm gonna go watch you. But you have to watch from the beginning because the first 15 minutes was just wackadoodle time shocker on your show. All right, bye. Bye. Okay, there we go. Donna has. Well, not this year. This year she's gone full Jew and she is not putting up a Christmas tree. But that's okay because listen, I want to decorate my apartment. I want my apartment to look good. I let my.

So, well, actually, we can also squeeze in one more, and that's Lena Dunham. But like, that. That's more confusing to me that Taylor Swift is hanging out with Lena Dunham. Selena Gomez, we've seen kind of around in her circle recently, especially with her engagement, her upcoming wedding. Like, you know, we've seen it kind of, you know, that friendship develop. But. So Taylor went to Travis Kelsey's Chiefs game, right? He has a. He has a. A suite there. And so Taylor came and she attended with her new bestie, Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham. Lena Dunham for me, is a bit of a strange choice. It kind of feels like. Here, let me pull up one of the photos that was shared by page 6, because to me, it just kind of felt like she wasn't really there with them. She was just kind of there in the suite. Like, maybe she knows somebody close to Travis Kelsey. I guess she's had some sort of, like, friendly relationship with Lena Dunham. But to replace Blake Lively with Lena Dunham, even I'm kind of like, huh? Like, Selena Gomez is a flex. Lena Dunham. And she's just kind of like, if you really look, she's just kind of like sitting there digging through her purse. Taylor's been super low key. Except for now. I'm wondering, because remember how they would have those, like, videos of Taylor when she would walk in and they would have, like, the. The guards up, like, you didn't know when Taylor was gonna be there. They didn't put her on the jumbotron. They had those big screens to block when she would walk through the hallways. Like, security was super, super strict with Taylor. So I'm wondering if part of this or part of those smoke screens were for the baldoni stuff, right? Because remember, they were trying to subpoena her and it appeared that she didn' participate in any of the legal drama. So I'm wondering if, you know, they. So the servers. Is that what they're called, Clerks? I don't know what they're called. The people that serve the papers when you get sued in something. I wonder if they would try to approach her there. I feel like she's not a very approachable person, especially out in public, especially at a cheaps game. But for whatever reason, she did not want to be seen at these events. But now that I guess she's engaged, now that I guess the legal Stuff has settled down a little bit. She is kind of okay being a little more visible also, to be fair. Process server. Thank you, Christina. Shout out to the mods. By the way, Christina Lara, we love you, but. So I don't. I don't know. This is also a fan photo that's going around online. It's not like a bunch of paparazzi photos like we would normally get with them. These are fan, like videos of people catching them together. So it may be that she is still kind of trying to be in hiding. I don't know why. I don't understand what she would be hiding for at this point. Like, you're Taylor Swift. It's undeniable that you're going to be, you know, you're going to be out and about. Apparently, Leonardo DiCaprio was also there. He wasn't sitting with Taylor Swift, but he was also reportedly in attendance. I don't know. Maybe he's besties with Lena Dunham. It's kind of random, but I'm just. I'm glad that. I don't know. I. I honestly don't even know how to feel about Taylor Swift anymore and the Blake Lively because we have like, the song canceled and then people are looking at the matching Lorraine Schwartz bracelets and we've gone through so many different angles with the Taylor, Travis, Blake and Ryan stuff. I don't think that they're close. I don't think that they're friends. I think that there may be some opportunity for them to rekindle their friendship after. After all of the legal drama is settled. But we still have, what, 4ish, 3, 4ish months left? Leo gets all the buzz. That's why. Oh, and he. She didn't want him. She didn't want to get all the buzz. Tawny says, I thought the hiding when they were going to the games and extra security was because of the Charlie Kirk shooting. It was around the same time, right? I don't know. I mean, we all had different theories as to why she may have been protecting herself even more. But like, come on, you're at a football game to not even go on the Jumbotron. Like there's something more that she wants. I don't know. I also don't know if, like, the Charlie Kirk assassination was, like, politically motivated. I don't know if anybody would politically, you know, have a motivation to attack Taylor Swift in that same way. I don't know. Do you think they will be friends after? I think so. I think they will be friends again. They just Can't. Oof. Souk says they have dirt on each other. Probably. Yeah. Because remember Blake? Oh, I think that was the biggest nail in the coffin, though, is that Blake was threatening to release Taylor's text messages. Or at least that's what we were hearing from Brian Friedman. Maybe she doesn't want to steal the spotlight off of Travis. Well, then maybe don't be a pop star. You know, I don't know. You're Taylor Swift. You can't go anywhere. That's just kind of like. And he knows that, signing up for it. And trust me, he's totally cool with it. Taylor was boosting her PR after all the bad headlines, bidding out a bride for a venue. Saw a video this morning about. On Lena Dunham attending. I think this is a youtuber Said that it could be relating to feminism. I don't know if Lena Dunham is really the face. When you look at that face, are you just like, yeah, women. I don't know. I don't look at Lena Dunham and I'm like, yeah, she's the biggest champion for women. She's annoying. When I look at Lena Dunham, I get annoyed. But I don't necessarily think feminism. Lena Dunham, if anything, is like the epitome of toxic feminism. Right. Remember, we had toxic masculinity. That is toxic feminism right there. Christina says, I don't even know who she is. She's a bit scary. She's just a little cray cray. Who would want that in their life? I can't imagine not being able to go to the grocery store. Not for me. Well, I mean, Taylor Swift doesn't have to go to the grocery store. She has people that go to the grocery store for her. So, okay, I think we're all in agreement. None of us like Lena Dunham. But also, Lena Dunham's not necessarily sitting with Taylor Swift. She's just seated in the suite. So I wonder if, like, they just both happen to be going on the same day. Who knows? Also, who cares? A bit of other news that I was actually kind of happy to see. I saw. Remember she famously made the Little Bump video with Blake Lively. She interviewed Blake Lively and then she shared the Little Bump video. Well, in the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni legal drama, things are continuing to unfold with that. But I saw Shirsti posted this today, calling out the New York Times, saying, I think you owe me an apology because she clipped out a piece of the New York Times. Here's a snippet from it. The. We can bury Anyone inside Hollywood smear machine. The original article that blew up this entire legal drama. And we're literally almost a year out. We're like two, three weeks shy of this being a year from when this article was published. And so the original New York Times article wrote. On Aug. 10, Shirsi, Fla. A Norwegian entertainment reporter uploaded a YouTube video. A YouTube uploaded to YouTube a 2016 interview in which Ms. Lively snapped back when Ms. Flaw commented on her baby bump and re and remained testy for the rest of the conversation. Ms. Flaw titled it the Blake Interview that made me want to quit my job and told the Daily Mail, it's time that people behaving badly in Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter, get called out. After publication of the article, Ms. Flaw On Sunday contacted the Times and said that she had not participated in any orchestrated effort to harm Ms. Lively's reputation. In an email, she said that she had resurfaced the 2016 interview independently this past August. It was neither coordinated nor influenced by anyone associated with the alleged campaign. It was first. It was the first time that she had posted a video that aligned with the client of Ms. Nathan's. In 2022, in the midst of Mr. Depp's legal battle on Ms. Heard, Ms. Flaw posted clips of her interviews with the actor and tagged it justiceforjohnny. So they're making it seem like she was. Has some sort of. Or they're alluding. Right. Whether they're making this clear or they're just implicating it. They're trying to tie Shirsty Flaw to Melissa Nathan. And Melissa Nathan previously represented Johnny Depp. She's currently representing Justin Baldoni. She's currently enthralled in this whole legal drama with Blake Lively. She's being sued by Blake Lively for this alleged smear campaign. And so it was inferred that Scherc Flaw is the one that, you know, was like the ember that burned down the Palisades of Blake Lively's reputation here because of that little bump video. I've always said the little bump video is ultimately the catalyst of what blew up Blake Lively's reputation. Cause all it takes is one viral moment on TikTok, on YouTube, on whatever, and then the rest of the Internet jumps in. That's how these trends happen. That's how things go viral. So I always said that that was an organic and natural thing that I saw happen on the Internet in real time, and then the Internet just happened to pile on Blake from there. So if anything, Schirsty Flaw was behind the smearing that took down Blake Lively's reputation for that time. It was so minuscule and minor. It was like a viral moment of negativity that has now ballooned into an entirely astronomical bomb of Blake Lively's reputation that has gone off at this point. If anything, she's only continued to make herself look worse. But Shirsey posted this saying, I think the New York Times owes me an apology because as we determine in the latest court filings, it is determined Lively has not put forward any evidence to suggest the little bump video is not genuine or that the defendant had any contact with the reporter in this video. Plaintiff's response Undisputed. So what does that mean? There is no evidence, zero, zero, zero evidence that proves that Schersty Flaw had any communication with the defendants, including Justin Baldoni himself and Melissa Nathan herself, both of which are defendants in these lawsuits. So there's no evidence of any sort of communication between them, nor is there any evidence that contradicts that the video is fake. Remember that. Whack a doodle. Me too. Doctor, Dr. Leslie, who was like, there was more to that video. There was an. An unedited longer extension where you can hear like the way that that woman just lies through her teeth is insane to me. That is a sick human being. Sick, sick, sick in the head. The way she was saying that there was more to the video and that you can hear in the extended version of that video. You can hear that they tell her not to ask Blake Lively about the bump and she continues to persist about the bump. It was crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. What? Dr. Dobson. But I don't even want to call her a doctor. Dr. Dolittle is what I want to call her because she talks to all the animals in her brain. Yeah. So if anything, look at. We're seeing these things continue to get dismantled. We're seeing the crumbling. We also saw there was a. Over the weekend, there was a clip of Jed Wallace talking about sending the dancing video to the media and using we transfer. I think I responded to this on X actually about Jed Wallace and the. The we transfer of it all because people were like trying to say that it was nefarious of Jed Wallace to use the. Interesting. Did he take this post down? Oh, I called out ex Patriarch. Oh, that's interesting. Guys, look at. We just found out live on the show. I got blocked by Ex Patriarch. Finally I muted him and then suddenly, I don't know why, over the last couple of days, he started coming up on my feed again. But actually, you know What? Let's go through this. So this was the post and he's like, newly unsealed audio of Jed Wallace. And then it shows the clip from Jed Wallace and he's basically how they would use. We transfer to send the. Use. We transfer to send the video, the dancing montage video to the press, right? And he's like, oh, my God, look at this. Bell Dodi's team discussing how to leak files to creators and media with links that destroy itself without allowing them to potentially access another drop. Relatively standard. Actually, not relatively standard. Very standard. I responded to him. I said, my production edit, my production team and editor uses Wetransfer all the time. It's to send large files, often large video files, without having to worry about storage. I said, I know your content is low budget, but FYI, using WeTransfer is pretty standard for sharing things. And also, which was conveniently left out of the clip the expatriarch shared was the clip where Jed Wallace makes it clear that he does not use bots. He says, I don't use bots. Sorry, I thought this was on the screen. But so it's just interesting that these Blake bots want to clip things out of context, which we know is what they do. They like to limit things so that there's context eliminated. But it's interesting that the point, you know, X Patriarch was making was that Jed Wallace uses bots. He uses bots. Uses bots. And this is an audio seemingly, you know, that was not going to be released publicly. I think it was like a voice note where he talks about how he doesn't use bots and then explains how the best way to send them these large video files is via Wetransfer. Wetransfer is similar to like a Dropbox. You don't have to worry about storage. The link is temporary. So. So sometimes when my editors will send me videos or clips of me to review or watch or whatever, they'll send it via Wetransfer. Cause then you don't have to worry about storage. And then the link expires after a while. It's very common. It's so wild that Blake's recording of Jed. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, everything we're seeing is starting in her case is starting to get dismantled. They have no evidence of bots. They have no evidence of a smear campaign. They have a contingency plan that, you know, where they could have gone after Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, but we haven't seen that that plan was ever activated. We have text messages that say of Justin Baldoni saying, I don't want to go that route. I don't want to do that approach. So even though they're saying they could create an untraceable smear campaign, they didn't. And there's no evidence that they actually did, nor is there any activation from Baldoni that they actually did. Ashley says at the end of the day, there were no lies told about Blake Lively. Every clip is her own words and actions. She needs to do some reflecting. I agree. Like, she's the one. The smear campaign was what she launched that, you know, she thought was gonna go after Baldoni, but it ended up being a mirror in her face because that smear campaign came right back at her, and it's just completely blown up in her face entirely. So, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Okay, let's move on from. Is there anything else she said? I mean, there was the Jed Wallace audio. There was the shirt flaw exoneration. There was the Taylor picking. Selena. What I'm trying to think if there was any other major bit that came out. I mean, nothing substantial came out in her response for a motion to some for the Justin Baldoni's motion for summary judgment. We'll see if that gets denied or what. Or if it moves to trial. As of right now, we assume everything is moving to trial, and trial is set to begin in March of 2026. So we're 3,4ish months away. That said, I want to move on to this other crazy wackadoodle story. Let's talk groceries. Specifically your groceries. With Instacart, you want your groceries just the way you like them, right? Well, the Instacart app lets you do just that. They have a new preference picker that lets you pick how ripe or unripe you want your bananas. Shoppers can see your preferences upfront, helping guide their choices. Instacart get groceries just how you like. That is not going to trial, but there is a bombshell lawsuit that has just dropped or that has been made public because Billy Ray Cyrus is now publicly responding to it. And that's from this woman who is claiming that she is actually Miley Cyrus's real birth mother. Okay? She's from Arizona, and she. I mean, it really is pretty, pretty wackadoodle. She's claiming that she was 12 years old at the time that she became pregnant with Miley Cyrus and that Billy Ray and Tish ended up adopting her. So this woman's name is Jamie Lee. J A Y M E L E E, Jamie Lee. And again, she's claiming that she was pregnant at 12 years old, had Miley, and then Billy Ray and Tish came, adopted Miley. And this woman also claims that she was supposed to be a part of Miley's life, that she was going to be hired as a nanny and that she was supposed to be around the singer growing up. And that didn't happen because as soon as they got custody of Miley, then I guess they cut her out. But then she wasn't able to actually provide any documents in court to prove the adoption was real. She said that it was fraudulent. It's really. I mean, a 12 year old's pregnancy story is kind of crazy. But yeah, she claims that she gave birth to Miley in 92. They had a private adoption agreement and she was supposed to be Miley's nanny and her piano teacher, none of which happened. And then she blames Billy Ray Cyrus for that. She said that he wrongfully assumed the role of Miley's father without her consent. When my understanding is even if you do give up once you sign over your parental rights, like you no longer have any parental rights. So your consent wouldn't necessarily be valid in this point. But she was trying to sue them for severe emotional distress. It's crazy. But yeah, now she was trying to sue Tish and Billy Ray for breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and unlawful interference with parental rights. Also, if she was 12 years old, then her parents would need to sign over these rights. No. At 12 years old, would you be able to. Like that sounds kind of crazy. But she also claims that they endangered Miley, there was child endangerment because they put Miley in the public in Hollywood. They put her out there on a TV show, and that wasn't healthy for her. And she says that after, you know, she gave Miley up to them that they cut off all contact with her, they threatened police action if she ever tried to come after Miley. It was crazy. But so in her, in her complaint she writes, At 12 years old in 1992, I was trying to find a lawyer to help me get visitation of Miley, but I was brutally attacked and placed in a state of trauma until recently remembering how I came to be the parent of Miley Cyrus. So this is just something she recently remembered, right? This is why you can't trust, like, you know, when people go and they're like, I'm going to unlock memories in my brain, they like, I'm always weary of stuff like that. I'm always a DNA test. So she did request a DNA test. A judge denied a DNA test and a judge denied this from moving forward to trial. So this has been shut down. Sorry, this is not moving to trial. There's no DNA test. Like, the judge, I guess found that there's no evidence. There's nothing to even insinuate that this could potentially be even within the realm of possibility. Um, and again, it's because this woman has suddenly remembered that she gave birth to Miley Cyrus. Copper mom says she sounds wackadoodle. She does sound wackadoodle. She sounds completely wackadoodle. Do a 13 year old nanny. Yeah, she was. And piano teacher. Don't forget piano teacher. She had a false memory. Yeah, that's the thing. Like, and this is why you have to be careful because I think people like when you always like, Whitney Rose did that on real houses of Salt Lake City. And it's hard because it's like, I don't want to negate people's trauma, but. But also at the same time, like, you can't just remember something. Like, I guess, I don't know, I guess I need to understand better the science of shelving certain memories and how we go about re remembering them. Right. Because like, I don't know, daydreams and dreams, like those could all technically doesn't. Or I don't know how I. I don't know. Maybe we got to talk to Dr. Amen about that. The brain expert the Kardashians always use. But like me, it's just, how do you suddenly, you know, she's. She was 12 in 1992. I was born in 93. I'm 32. Let's do the math. So me plus 13, that's 43. 44, 45. 46. 45, 46. So she's 45. So she remembered at the big age of 45 that she gave birth to Miley Cyrus. This is why you can't trust everybody's memories. And then the crazy part is you're able to go to these, like, therapists that like, will unlock your memories. And it's like, how do you even trust the legitimacy of that? And then people really run with that and suddenly everybody has trauma that they've buried in the past for the last 23 years. You know, be careful of some therapists. Yeah, it's, you know, Mary said, oh, so she just fell out of a coconut tree basically 12 years old. Find the parents. Yeah, I don't know where her parents are. You know, our mind cannot. 4, 3, 4, 4. Trauma. Mama. Memories can be repressed and altered. Abuse and trauma can pop up at any time. Yes, I do know that, but I just feel like we've. We've gotten a little too loose. Like, we have too many, like, reality stars that are now making that a thing on the show, making that part of their storyline about how they had memories that were repressed and they just recently realized that these things happened to them. And I do believe that that is possible, that we can repress memories, but there's also the possibility that we can alter memories as well. I don't know. After she fell out of the coconut tree, she fell straight on top of her head and knocked herself out. Knocked herself out and thought that she knocked herself up. That's like watching the Mormon wives reunion. Well, yeah, everybody has trauma on that show. Everybody has trauma these days. Everybody has trauma. And I'm just like, what happened to the days where we just, you know, grow and move on now? Everybody has trauma, and it's debilitating trauma. And I'm not trying to knock anybody's trauma on Mormon wives. I'm just saying in general, you come across somebody at the grocery store, and they're like, oh, I'm sorry. I can't look you in the eyes. I have trauma. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm afraid of your dog, because I have trauma, and I'm like, what? My dog didn't even look at. You just asked Demi about her essay. Yeah, I did a video on that over the weekend with Demi because she's now being sued by Marciano. That's crazy. The whole Demi and Marciano of it all is wild. But, yeah. So this lady is not going anywhere. Billy Ray said that these are completely fabricated. This is all bogus. The judge agrees it's all bogus. And I don't think she just remembered at the big age of 45 that she was 12 years old when she gave birth to Miley Cyrus. But, yeah, if you want to talk about the Marciano, I mean, I did a video of it over the weekend about Marciano from Vanderpump Villa being sued. Or he's suing Demi. Excuse me. From Mormon wives. He's suing her for falsely calling him a sexual predator and saying that he s a'd her. He sexually assaulted her. I don't think I said this in my video. I don't think he's gonna win his lawsuit, to be honest. I think it takes a lot of money and a lot of time and A lot of energy to pursue these lawsuits, and I just don't think he has the money. I think, if anything, she definitely has more money than him. And I just don't think, like, if anything, it'll be ruled as opinion. It'll be ruled as, you know, I mean, I don't know. She's very confidently going out there and, you know, saying these things with absolute certainty. And I don't know if that would actually help her case. Right. Because when someone like Marciano, who's a public figure, when they get sued, you have to prove malice, and malice is the toughest part. Right. That's kind of the struggle that Justin Baldoni was trying to prove when he was suing Blake Lively in the New York Times for defamation. So I don't know. I don't. I don't know. Chase should sue her, too. But that's the thing, is sometimes you can say things and they can. It doesn't necessarily hold up to the legal definition of defamation, Right. Where, like, Blake Lively technically, by definition, defamed Justin Baldoni, but legally, you know, she was protected. The legal definition for defamation and the legal protections that she had, there were loopholes around that, and that's why he ultimately could not put forth his case. So Chase. Chase is the one that you're referring to. He's the one that she says, you know, shoved her because he walked by and she's like, oh, my God, he body slammed me, or whatever. So, yeah, I think Demi is worse than Blake Lively because she has such conviction and she's so reckless. Blake Lively's at least. I feel like Blake did not intend for this to blow up the way that it did, and she just kind of had to protect herself. And so she got her attorneys on and Ryan Reynolds on, and they're strategizing on how to save her and any which way that they can. I genuinely don't think that they ever foresaw this going to trial the way that it now appears to be going to trial. Demi, on the other hand, just seems reckless. Right. Not only is she making these comments on the show, she's making these comments in the press. Like she's continuing to double down and push that narrative. And that's what I think is really scary because she's, like, crying and believes that she's, like, a victim. And then just the things that she said to Marciano, like, she says that he wonder. She wonders if his dead dad thinks that he's a pussy looking down on him. Him, which I thought was gross, to bring up his dead father in knocking him when she weaponized Macy's experience against her by like, well, Macy, you were. You know, things were done to you. How would you feel if you were in my position? It was like, whoa, that's a wild thing to say to somebody at the reunion. And you can tell Macy was so caught off guard by that of, like, what? You're bringing up my own experience so flippantly, as if it's, what, just a talking point for you to prove your point. Like, that was really low, really gross. Really up. She should have just blamed it on postpartum and Stephanie, listen, that's what I said from the beginning, Copper Mom. I think you got that idea from me because I was saying that over and over and over and over and over. There I was giving Blake every possible strategy to get the heck out of this lawsuit, and she just continued to double down, and it is just making her look worse and worse and worse. I don't. I don't know. It's not cute. Okay. Demi lives in a false reality and truly needs help because I've. Because I've gone to hating her to now being actually concerned for her mental state. Yeah, just like Amber with Johnny. They won't. They went to the press first. Yeah, I guess that's where it could hurt to me. But again, you have to prove malice. Yeah. You have to say something that was false knowingly. Like, you have to know that it was false. You have to have done it with the intention of harming their reputation. Like, there are many elements to it. So, yes, guys, hit the like button. If you haven't done so yet, hit the like button. Hit the subscribe button.
