A video from Justin Baldoni’s wedding to Swedish actress Emily Baldoni in 2013 has resurfaced amidst serious allegations from Blake Lively. In the video, Baldoni, now 40, expressed his deep apology to his new bride for his “faults, shortcomings, insecurities, and my ego.” He also apologised for anything he had “ever said or done that has hurt you.” The actor, known for his role in Jane the Virgin, made this heartfelt admission in front of family and friends on his special day.
This resurfacing video comes in the wake of a lawsuit filed by Lively, who alleges that Baldoni sexually harassed her while filming It Ends With Us, a movie they both starred in and which Baldoni directed. Lively claims Baldoni waged a “coordinated effort to destroy her reputation” following the film’s release, causing significant harm to her personal and professional life.
The film, based on Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, centers on a domestic violence relationship, a topic that has sparked controversy surrounding Lively and Baldoni’s off-screen relationship. The movie earned more than $300 million at the box office, but rumours of a feud between Lively and Baldoni emerged when the two refused to appear together for promotional events.
Lively’s legal team also alleges a hostile work environment during filming, citing a meeting where Lively, along with her husband Ryan Reynolds, addressed Baldoni’s alleged inappropriate behaviour. Lively’s complaints included concerns over nudity, inappropriate comments about her weight, and Baldoni’s past, among other personal issues.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has strongly denied Lively’s accusations, calling them “categorically false” and accusing her representatives of trying to fix her “negative reputation.” Lively’s lawsuit has included texts between Baldoni’s publicist and a studio publicist, allegedly showing Baldoni’s desire to “bury” Lively’s career.
The allegations have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many questioning the dynamic on set and whether it created a toxic working environment for the stars involved.
