"Texts from the Trenches: Rainn Wilson's Support Sends a Clear Message Amidst Blake Lively Feud"
In a dramatic turn of events, actor and director Justin Baldoni found himself at the center of a heated feud with actress Blake Lively while filming "It Ends With Us". What was meant to be an uncomfortable conversation turned into a full-blown assault, with Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds allegedly berating Baldioni in a way that left him shaken.
According to texts shared by Baldoni's defense team, on January 5, 2024, his friend and fellow actor Rainn Wilson reached out, asking if there were any updates from the group. Baldoni subsequently shared details of a tense conversation he had with Reynolds, describing it as "one of the hardest nights of my life".
Reynolds allegedly attacked Baldioni, telling him that Jamey Heath, one of the film's producers and friends of Baldioni's, was not who they claimed to be, and that their podcast was "unsafe" because it made people feel safe. The text also revealed that Reynolds used the word "creepy" in reference to Baldioni's behavior, further fueling a sense of unease.
In response, Wilson reached out with words of encouragement, stating that he had been set up and ambushed, like a deer in headlights. He praised Jamey Heath for stepping in diplomatically and expressed gratitude that Baldioni didn't immediately start apologizing.
This development comes as Baldioni has been fighting Lively's allegations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. While her initial complaint was filed with the California Civil Rights Department, Baldoni later sued Reynolds and Lively for defamation, which ultimately resulted in his case being dismissed.
However, this feud is far from over, with Baldioni recently moving to dismiss Lively's claims, which are set to go to trial in March.
