What They Said
Emily Baldoni, 41, described the last two years as filled with "injustice" and "trauma." Without naming Blake Lively directly, the couple referenced "untruthful" claims that caused them significant personal and professional pain.
"So many painful things have happened. But gratitude got us through. We chose to focus on what we could control."
Justin thanked fans who stood by them throughout the litigation, noting that their support "kept us going when everything felt impossible."
The Legal Timeline
The dispute originated during the production of "It Ends With Us" in 2024, when Blake Lively filed complaints alleging hostile behavior on set. The situation escalated into dueling lawsuits that dominated entertainment headlines for months.
Earlier this year, the two sides reached a settlement. However, reports indicate that Lively is still pursuing up to million that may remain outstanding from the agreement.
The "Jane the Virgin" actor maintained throughout that the allegations against him were false but chose not to speak publicly until now.
Industry Reaction
The video has already garnered millions of views and thousands of supportive comments. Several Hollywood figures have publicly backed Baldoni in the comments, though many have chosen to remain neutral given the sensitivity of the situation.
The Bottom Line
Two years is a long time to stay quiet when your name is being discussed constantly. Justin Baldoni chose to let the legal process play out before speaking. Whether this video changes public perception remains to be seen, but the fact that he is still fighting over potential additional payments suggests this story is not fully over.
