Texts Reveal Rainn Wilson Supported Justin Baldoni Amidst Blake Lively Feud
Imagine two actors, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, were making a movie together, but things got complicated.
Blake accused Justin of sexual harassment and making the set a bad place to work.
Justin's lawyers are asking a judge to throw out her lawsuit.
Recently, private messages came out showing that Justin felt attacked by Blake's husband, Ryan Reynolds, who he felt was scolding him unfairly.
Justin's friend, actor Rainn Wilson, saw these messages and told Justin it sounded like he was 'set up and ambushed.'
This all happened while Blake Lively was suing Justin, and Justin had also sued Blake and Ryan, but that case was dismissed.
It shows a really difficult situation between everyone involved.
Newly released court documents include text messages where Rainn Wilson offered support to Justin Baldoni, describing a conflict with Ryan Reynolds as being 'set up and ambushed'.
Baldoni, in a private group chat, described a tense conversation with Ryan Reynolds, where he felt scolded and accused of 'creepy' and 'abusive' behavior.
Wilson's texts to Baldoni expressed shock and validated Baldoni's feelings of being ambushed and personally attacked.
This information emerges amidst Blake Lively's lawsuit filed on December 20, 2024, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and creating a hostile environment.
Baldoni had previously sued Lively and Reynolds for defamation, a lawsuit that has since been dismissed.
