So mere hours after settling her lawsuit with Justin Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, Blake Lively hit the red carpet for the Met Gala. And I think that this is probably her biggest public appearance since this entire thing started. And like, I. I hate to say it. This is, like tearing my hair out. I hate to say it because I really do not like her anymore, but I do love her. Look, now, I have no idea how it relates to the theme just yet. I'm sure I will figure that out. But when it comes to the Met Gala, unfortunately, unfortunately, this insufferable woman, she always shows up looking great. She does these, like, extravagant long ball gown. One that she did that was kind of relating to the Statue of Liberty with the long train. I mean, chef's kiss. She knows what looks good on her. Unfortunately. She should have known what looks good on her when she was doing the costumes before it ends with us. But that's a whole other conversation when it comes to the Met Gala. She does know what she's doing. And so she, on the red carpet has been the talk of the town, one of the main talks of the town. The thing that stood out to me even more than just her showing up was the way that the media glazed her in the process. And yesterday, I told you guys this would happen. And I saw a few comments from people being like, no bread. Like, she is totally done, done, done, done. And then I opened my phone and I saw her on the red carpet, and I was like, boom, I have been vindicated. Because look at this variety. Blake Lively stuns on the Met Gala red carpet. Blake Lively was all smiles at the Met Gala. Hours after settling her lawsuit, she stunned in an archival gown, New York magazine. Hours after settling her lawsuit, the actress celebrated in a Versace dress, putting the most beautiful picture of her possible. Like you. That is how you know that the media loves you. Because I guarantee there's a photo on that red carpet. Not the most flattering angle. There was a moment on the red carpet where she was kind of, like, struggling with her dress, and nobody was helping her. That was a little bit awkward. People were kind of, like, steering clear of her. They could have chosen that one. They could have chosen something with bad lighting. But no, they picked the perfect, effortless smile, the great skin. Ah, she looks carefree. The media fricking loves her. Like, what did I tell you guys? I think with the public, normal Americans, her reputation is shot. But I really don't see her or Ryan Reynolds facing great consequences within this industry. And last night, at The Met Gala proved that. And it also proved that celebrities, per usual, are virtue signaling idiots. And their grandstanding about the involvement of Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lawrence Sanchez Bezos, was almost too much for me to bear. Let's talk about it. But before we do, if you are in Nashville or the greater Middle Tennessee area, I will be at Zany's again doing another live show on May 19. Hope to see you guys there. The link to buy tickets will be in the description below. All right, guys. So other than Blake Lively, the biggest story coming out of the Met Gala this year was that Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, hosted the Met Gala as honorary chairs and primary sponsors after donating $10 million to the Met Gala's Costume Institute. And of course, because it is 2026 and everybody hates billionaires eat the rich. People were not happy about their involvement. And honestly, they have not been happy since their wedding when everybody was pissed at Lauren that she was given a Vogue cover on their wedding day, which you can see here now, the wokies and the celebrity class, they decided that they automatically hate this poor woman because she is married to Jeff Bezos. And obviously no ethical billionaires Eat the rich. All of the things, whatever the slogan is right now. So when she showed up on it was like an atrocity. How could she do this? How? She botched the covers that they were saying money and influence gets you anywhere. Yeah, it kind of does. Sorry, you guys all have it too. You're celebrities. Lauren Sanchez can wield her husband's money as well. Anyway, they were pissed. So that cover was her first transgression other than just marrying Bezos in and of itself. But then it came out that she and her Jeff were Met Gala chairs and everyone lost their damn minds. That was the biggest story story coming out of this year. And this whole thing just honestly makes me laugh because immediately upon them being appointed these chairs of the event, all of these media articles came out saying, the Met Gala is done. Is this the last year of the Met Gala? The prestige of the Met Gala? It is done. It's totally changed. It's irredeemable. But the thing is, they've been saying that for years. It's like every single year those articles come out, I do episodes about the Met Gala almost every year, and I'm like, is this it? It's not all it's cracked up to be. We talk about that every single year. It's like a running joke at this point. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez did not do that to the Met Gala and for some reason their involvement was what really crossed a line when it came to the prestige of the gala. Not having influencers and TikTokers like Dixie D', Amelio, Charli D' Amelio on the red carpet. Not having politicians like AOC on the red carpet. Not suddenly showing BTS footage from inside the event which used to be so mysterious and private. Like no phones, no media, nothing in there. No, no. In the year 2026 it was the Bezos. And per usual, a lot of it obviously had to do with politics. Like someone tweeted and said, I just want to remind everyone that the Met Gala's lead sp is Amazon, which supports ICE and provides infrastructure that helps target and terrorize our neighborhoods and communities. Conde Nast and Vogue made Bezos a co chair in February 2026 after the murders of Alex Pretty, Renee Good and Keith Porter Jr. And more. If you attend and support the gala, this is who you are supporting. Got it. Thanks, Aaron. I had no idea that Jeff Bezos was the one behind all of those people getting killed. I mean, that's just idiotic, honestly. But she was not the only one. Colin Firth's ex wife did not know he was married or divorced. But she jumped in. This got picked up by the press as well. She said this.
