Rainn Wilson sides with Justin Baldoni, claims report<\/p>\n
Rainn Wilson\u2019s private messages with Justin Baldoni have become part of the ongoing legal case between Baldoni and Blake Lively.<\/p>\n
The texts, submitted by Baldoni\u2019s legal team, were taken from a January 2024 group chat and show Wilson expressing sympathy after Baldoni described a confrontation with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, over alleged misconduct on the set of It Ends With Us. Baldoni has consistently denied the accusations.<\/p>\n
According to the filings, Wilson responded with concern after Baldoni said he felt \u201cambushed\u201d during the discussion. Moreover, Wilson told him he was \u201cstunned\u201d by the situation and encouraged him to focus on completing the film. He wrote, \u201cOh my God. I can\u2019t believe it. You were set up and ambushed and personally attacked. I\u2019m stunned. I completely relate to you being stunned, like a deer in the headlights.\u201d\u00a0(via PEOPLE<\/a>)<\/p>\n The Office star further added, \u201cOnwards brother. Make a great and important and entertaining piece of storytelling. That\u2019s all you can do now. So sorry for what you went [through].\u201d<\/p>\n Wilson and Baldoni share a long friendship due to their mutual involvement in the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed faith and previous collaborations on podcasts and panel discussions. Their relationship dates back to at least 2016, when Baldoni appeared on Wilson\u2019s Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed Blogcast.<\/p>\n Lively first sued Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of misconduct and retaliation. Baldoni then responded with counterclaims of extortion and defamation. However, those filings were dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman in June 2025. The dispute remains ongoing, with a trial scheduled for March 2026.<\/p>\n The post This Office Star Sides With Justin Baldoni \u2014 Report\u00a0<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A newly surfaced report reveals that The Office star, Rainn Wilson, has privately supported Justin Baldoni amid his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[10682,49,48,75,10683,10687,130988,128973,5204,348],"class_list":{"0":"post-289040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-blake-lively","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-justin-baldoni","13":"tag-legal-battle","14":"tag-office-star","15":"tag-rainn-wilson","16":"tag-ryan-reynolds","17":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
