Justin Baldoni Spotted With Wife for 1st Time Since Blake Lively Lawsuit

Justin Baldoni appears to have the support of wife Emily Baldoni after Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.

Justin and Emily, both 40, were spotted for the first time on Monday, December 23, heading to an office meeting in Los Angeles, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail. The couple, who share kids Maiya, 9, and Maxwell, 7, put on a united front after the actor was accused of alleged inappropriate conduct on the set It Ends With Us.

During the outing, Emily remained by Justin’s side as she kept one hand on his back. Justin has kept a low-profile since Lively, 37, filed paperwork on Friday, December 20, accusing him of sexual harassment, creating a “hostile work environment” and causing her “severe emotional distress” while working together.

“There are days when she has struggled to get out of bed, and she frequently chooses not to venture outside in public,” the lawsuit revealed. “While she has fought to maintain her personal life and business interests, behind closed doors she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety. She also has been experiencing repeated and painful physical symptoms as a result of this experience.”

Gotham/GC Images Justin Baldoni is already dealing with major fallout days after Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against him. The New York Times reported on December 21 that Lively filed a lawsuit on December 20 in which she accused him of sexual harassment and launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation […]

The paperwork claimed Lively’s negative experience also impacted her family. (The actress shares daughters James, 9, Inez, 8, and Betty, 5, as well as a son, Olin, whom they welcomed in early 2023 with husband Ryan Reynolds.)

“Mr. Reynolds, too, has been affected mentally, physically, and professionally by his wife and children’s pain,” the lawsuit concluded. “Worst of all, however, has been the impact on their young children, who have been traumatized and emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well-being.”

In a statement to The New York Times on Saturday, December 21, Lively stated, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Baldoni’s legal counsel, however, called Lively’s claims “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.” Bryan Freedman alleged in a statement to Us Weekly that Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the production of the film.

Freedman went on to claim that Lively made “multiple demands and threats” during the film’s production, which included “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

Several of Lively and Baldoni’s costars from It Ends With Us including Jenny Slate and Brandon Sklenar have publicly sided with her. Baldoni, meanwhile, has been dropped by his agency WME, who also represent Lively and Reynolds, 48. His “Man Enough” podcast host, Liz Plank, announced her exit on Monday along with women’s non-profit Vital Voices rescinding their Solitary Award, which Baldoni was presented with just last week.
