Justin Baldoni is finally addressing the heated legal war with Blake Lively, appearing emotional in a newly released promo clip for an upcoming interview. In a teaser for his sit-down on the “Gent’s Talk” podcast, Baldoni acknowledges the turmoil of the past year, hinting at the deep impact of his ongoing legal struggles.
Baldoni’s Emotional Interview Teaser
The “It Ends With Us” actor-director sat down with Samir Mourani, host of the “Gent’s Talk” podcast, in what appears to be an emotionally charged interview. The conversation, recorded a month before Lively’s first legal filing, touches on Baldoni’s personal struggles as he wipes away tears.
In the short preview clip, Baldoni admits, “I had an intense year,” before revealing, “This morning I sent a text message … I had anxiety.” When Mourani presses him on why, Baldoni hesitates before responding, “I haven’t talked about this yet,” suggesting the full interview will contain even more revelations.
The teaser then fades to black, revealing the interview’s scheduled air date—February 10.
A Timeline of the Legal Drama
The legal fallout between Baldoni and Lively has been escalating since their work together on the much-anticipated “It Ends With Us” adaptation. Their professional relationship took a sharp turn in December 2024, when Blake Lively filed a civil rights complaint followed by a lawsuit against Baldoni. Lively’s allegations include sexual harassment and an alleged public smear campaign orchestrated against her by Baldoni.
As the dispute intensified, Baldoni countered with lawsuits of his own. He notably filed a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the publication of colluding with Lively to damage his reputation. The actor-director also took legal action against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging that the Hollywood power couple launched their own smear campaign against him.

The legal battle not only involves high-profile figures like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Baldoni but also raises larger concerns about sexual harassment allegations in Hollywood, the power of media influence, and the impact of public feuds on careers.
Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly awaiting Baldoni’s full interview to see if he finally sheds light on his side of the story. Will his emotional confessions sway public opinion? Or will Lively and Reynolds respond with even more shocking allegations?
With February 10 marked on the calendar for Baldoni’s big reveal, all eyes are on this interview for the next chapter in what has become one of Hollywood’s most explosive legal battles.
