So Justin Baldoni dropped a nearly seven-minute voice note to Blake Lively at around 2 AM, and I gotta say—it’s giving me major toxic ex-boyfriend vibes. No more deets on that though, let’s keep the mystery alive.
If you haven’t been following along, here’s the tea: Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been stuck in a legal showdown that started during the production of their film It Ends With Us, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel.
Blake Lively, who not only stars in but also heavily contributed to the script, accused Justin Baldoni—who directed and co-starred—of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. She claimed he made inappropriate comments about her weight, barged into her trailer without warning, and even dished way too much about his past relationships.

Justin fired back by suing Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane for defamation and extortion. He alleges they launched a smear campaign to wreck his career. Needless to say, tensions are running very high.
Justin Baldoni’s 7-Minute Voice Note Leaked
Amid this back-and-forth, the bombshell leak of Justin Baldoni’s voice note to Blake set tongues wagging. Sent after a heated debate over a rooftop scene, Justin’s message is pretty raw.
He starts with a remorseful apology:
“I’m really sorry. I f***ed up. I will admit and apologize when I fail. I’m a very flawed man, as my wife will attest.”
He goes on to acknowledge that he didn’t handle Blake’s script edits well and commends her dedication to the project. He also can’t help but gush about her support squad—Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift—saying:
“The three of you guys together is unbelievable. Talk about energy. Force. All three of you.”

Justin then touches on their strained work dynamic, adding:
“You and I have been trying to build a relationship which I think we’ve done successfully. But largely via text and voicemail and I will admit, that’s not my biggest strength.”
He wraps things up apologizing for the long message and teasing that Blake might be too busy with mom duties to listen:
“You probably have kids all over you, and a baby on your boob and you’re listening to me ramble.”
What Will Happen Now?
So where does this leave us all? The court case is still moving forward, with a trial slated for March 9, 2026. Both sides are locked and loaded for what looks like a drawn-out legal battle—and who knows what else might spill before we get a final verdict.
We are in a really complicated Hollywood drama situation over here!
