Most Listened to Episode of 2025 - Inside The Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni PR War

Описание: This is the most downloaded episode of the year, resurfaced for the holiday week because the fallout is still unfolding in real time. Breaking down the Hollywood power struggle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, with Ryan Reynolds playing a pivotal and controversial role, all sparked by a single voicemail that cracked open a much larger conversation about control, narrative management, and reputation at the highest level. 


This episode lays the groundwork for understanding the strategies, missteps, and PR decisions shaping the legal battle and the court of public opinion. If you want my latest take on where this saga stands now, you can read it in this week’s People Magazine, where I was featured by writer Elizabeth Rosner, analyzing the reputational stakes as they continue to ripple outward.
