settled a lawsuit<\/a> after the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, ending a contentious streak of accusations. The lawsuit alleged he sexually harassed her on set and launched a retaliatory smear campaign. <\/p>\n“There have been so many painful things that have been spoken into existence over the last couple years,” Baldoni said in a video this week. <\/p>\n
A judge dismissed Lively’s harassment claims. They settled her retaliation allegations. Lively has said the case highlighted respectful treatment on set.<\/p>\n
Baldoni and his wife smiled and chuckled through the nearly five-minute long video released on Instagram on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
“We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it’s not because we haven’t had anything to say,” Baldoni said. “Because Lord knows we have.<\/p>\n
Emily added: “There has been a lot of trauma for us to move through as a family, which also makes it hard to speak.” <\/p>\n
She said the resolution of the case seemed the right time.<\/p>\n
“The truth and the facts have spoken for themselves and here we are,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve 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.”<\/p>\n
Lively filed the lawsuit against Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, in December 2024. <\/p>\n
Baldoni filed a $400m (\u00a3298.5m) counter-lawsuit against Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation and extortion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily, lamented trauma and pain endured by their family in their first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682856,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-682855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
