Justin Baldoni and his wife Emily have broken their two-year silence on the lawsuit with Blake Lively. In a video posted on Instagram, the couple discussed the ‘injustice’ and ‘trauma’ they experienced during the legal battle.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit stemmed from the production of the 2024 movie ‘It Ends With Us.’ Lively alleged that Baldoni sexually harassed her on set and later orchestrated a campaign to damage her reputation. Baldoni denied the allegations and responded with lawsuits against Lively and others, accusing them of defamation and extortion.
The legal battle included the release of text messages, behind-the-scenes footage, and multiple court filings. The case was eventually settled confidentially in May 2026, with neither side admitting wrongdoing or paying damages.
Reflection and Healing
In their video, Justin and Emily reflected on the experience and the impact it had on their lives. They expressed gratitude for the support they received from their family, friends, and community. Justin stated that the experience led to him and Emily growing ‘closer, more devoted, and steadfast in our faith than we’ve ever been.’
Emily noted that despite the gratitude, the couple still feels the pain and injustice of the experience. They are focusing on healing and moving forward, prioritizing their family and faith.
