Justin Baldoni and His Wife Break Silence on Blake Lively Lawsuit

CALL PAINFUL AND UNTRUTHFUL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT HIM.

HE ALSO THINKS THE SUPPORTERS FOR GIVING HIM A VOICE WHEN HE SAID HE COULDN'T HAVE ONE AND ADDED HE WILL HAVE MORE TO SAY WHEN THE TIME COMES.

THIS MORNING, ACTOR JUSTIN BALDONI AND HIS WIFE EMILY BREAKING THEIR SILENCE IN A RARE INSTAGRAM POST.

SO WE HAVE NOT SPOKEN PUBLICLY FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE LAST TWO YEARS.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING TO SAY.

LORD KNOWS WE HAVE.

BUT IT JUST FELT LIKE EVERY TIME WE WENT TO MAKE A VIDEO LIKE THIS, WE WANTED TO SPEAK, SOMETHING WAS TELLING US NOT

TO.

THIS FEELS LIKE A MOMENT.

THE COUPLE SAID GRATITUDE IS WHAT HAS KEPT THEM GOING THROUGHOUT THEIR LEGAL BATTLE WITH ACTRESS BLAKE LIVELY WHO

SUED JUSTIN BALDONI HIS PRODUCTION COMPANY IN 2024 FOR ORCHESTRATING WHAT SHE CALLED A SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST HER AFTER SHE ACCUSED BALDONI OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT ON THE SET OF THEIR FILM, IT ENDS WITH US.

BALDONI HAS CONSISTENTLY DENIED THE CLAIMS. I WILL SAY THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PAINFUL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SPOKEN INTO EXISTENCE

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

THAT CREATED SO MUCH NOISE AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO ADD TO THE NOISE.

WE WANTED TO LET THE JUSTICE

SYSTEM RUN ITS COURSE .

AND THE TRUTH AND THE FACTS HAVE SPOKEN FOR THEMSELVES.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, A JUDGE TOSSED OUT MUCH OF LIVELY'S CLAIMS INCLUDING HARASSMENT, DEFAMATION AND CONSPIRACY BUT LET OTHER CLAIMS STAND SUCH AS BREACH OF CONTRACT, RETALIATION AND AIDING AND ABETTING RETALIATION.

THE TWO PARTIES REACHED A SETTLEMENT IN MAY FOR THE EXPECTED TRIAL.

WE HAVE HAD TO WRESTLE WITH SO MANY THINGS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND SO MANY THINGS LIKE HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS EVEN HAPPEN?

LET ALONE, DISGUISED AS A FIGHT FOR WOMEN.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK.

WE ARE HEALING.

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING TRAUMATIC YOU KNOW THAT HEALING ISN'T IN A VACUUM.

LIZ, HOW IS BLAKE LIVELY RESPONDING TO ALL OF THIS?

LAURA, SO FAR, SHE'S NOT SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE VIDEO FROM BALDONI, THE TEAM IS ALSO NOT RESPONDING TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT, BUT WE KNOW THAT LIVELY IS CURRENTLY SEEKING

MORE THAN $8 MILLION IN LEGAL

FEES FROM JUSTIN BALDONI AND HIS
