With the amount of claims and inconsistencies in both their stories, the world is very confused about who they believe in and who they don’t.

Amid this, many names have been dragged into the lawsuits, ranging from interviewers to influencers. Recently, another person who was mentioned in one of the lawsuits has come forward to tell their perspective of the situation, and it is quite different.

A small influencer was mentioned by Blake Lively in her lawsuit

After going viral for her bad experience interviewing Blake Lively, Kjersti Flaa is still very much present in the entire situation between the actress and Justin Baldoni. This does not seem to be out of necessity, as the journalist recently did something very bizarre and interviewed another victim of Lively’s smear campaign allegations.

Nikki Lieberman revealed during her interview that one of her videos was mentioned in Lively’s lawsuit as being a part of the campaign. However, she confessed that could not be further from the truth. The video in question was her being present at one of the premieres of the film, where she simply wanted to document the time she had.

It just made me look bad.

One very common thing that was happening during the release of It Ends With Us was the internet constantly pointing out how Baldoni was speaking on more important issues. Fans wanted Lively to talk about the domestic violence themes that were covered in the film instead of asking the fans to wear their florals and watch the film. With Baldoni hitting all of the points they wanted to and approaching the film with sensitivity, it was inevitable that the internet’s opinion would sway towards him.

With this, Lieberman was also speaking along similar lines in the video. During her interview with Flaa, she stated that she said exactly how she felt about the situation between the two at the time. She praised Baldoni because of the interaction they had and how sensitively he was treating the situation and pointed out that Lively wasn’t addressing any of the serious themes of the film.

Nikki Lieberman’s relationship with Justin Baldoni is complicated

Even though Nikki Lieberman felt that her video was not dragging Blake Lively’s name through the mud, she questioned why she was mentioned in the lawsuit. She pointed out that many people had made much worse videos about the actress that went much more viral than hers.

With this, Flaa asked her why she thought that her video was chosen out of all of the rest. Lieberman mentioned that she was aware that her video was sent on a group chat with Badoni, but so were many others. It is important to mention that the influencer seems to have some ties with Baldoni personally.

I said friend in that. They are acquaintances. He opened a movie theater in my hometown for fun, and he happens to also be one of the owners of Wayfair and so when I found out that the premiere was happening I begged for tickets.

She mentioned that her mom has a friend who is professionally linked with his company, Wayfarer. Although she added that that connection isn’t very strong, it was the reason why she was able to score tickets to the premiere of the film.

While there is no way of knowing who is actually telling the truth, it does seem that the situation is getting more and more complicated as details get revealed.
