Leaked Voice Note Reveals Justin Baldoni’s Apology to Blake Lively

A newly surfaced voice note allegedly sent by Justin Baldoni to Blake Lively has intensified their legal feud over the movie “It Ends With Us.” This message, reportedly sent in April 2023, reveals Baldoni’s attempts to reconcile over a disputed rooftop scene that has become central to their ongoing disputes.

Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 41, are locked in legal proceedings concerning the film’s production. Lively’s allegations include harassment and emotional distress, leading to lost wages, while Baldoni has filed a defamation suit seeking $400 million. These lawsuits have exposed a fraught professional relationship, with the rooftop scene emerging as a particularly divisive element.

In this voice note, Baldoni expresses remorse, acknowledging that he did not adequately address Lively’s concerns about changes to the scene. “Reading the second part of your message, my heart sank. I’m really sorry. I for sure fell short,” he admits. He commends her dedication to the project and her courage in sharing her concerns, offering thanks for her openness.

Further, Baldoni admits his own imperfections and commits to accountability, stating, “I am a very flawed man,” but promises to make amends and “find my way back to center.”

He also mentions Lively’s close-knit support network, including her husband, Ryan Reynolds and friend, Taylor Swift, describing them as “one of the most creative energy forces” and acknowledging their role in the discussions about the contentious scene.

The resolution of these legal conflicts will likely impact their careers and the prospective release of the anticipated film.
