Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Justin Baldoni apologises to Blake Lively in alleged voice note about It Ends with Us scene

Caption:

Justin Baldoni apologises to Blake Lively in alleged voice note about It Ends with Us scene. Lively recently filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, claiming he sexually harassed her on set and subjected her to a smear campaign following the release of their movie last August. Baldoni, who acted in and directed the feature, denied the allegations and filed a lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane. In the latest development, editors at TMZ published a nearly seven-minute-long audio clip on Monday in which Baldoni can allegedly be heard apologising to Lively following a disagreement over the script for the pivotal rooftop scene in the movie. The voice note was apparently recorded in April 2023. ”I want to start with an apology," he began, noting that his "heart sank" when he read a text message Lively had sent about "not always (being) good" at ensuring she is seen on set. ”I for sure fell short and you worked really hard on that, and the way you framed it, and how that made you feel... I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that with me.” “That takes a lot of trust and vulnerability, and I feel really grateful that you feel safe enough to tell me that that's how you feel and share that with me. I f**ked up.” Baldoni went on to admit he's a "very flawed man" but insisted he would always apologise "when I fail” "I'm gonna f**k up. I'm going to say the wrong thing. I'm going to put my foot in my mouth... but I will always apologise and find my way back to centre.” "I'm sorry I made you feel that way. That must have felt terrible. I will for sure do better. That was not my best weekend, and I should've given it more time.” In his lawsuit, Baldoni claims Lively and Reynolds once invited him to their NY home, along with Taylor Swift, who allegedly praised Blake’s script rewrites. In the clip, Baldoni maintained he didn't need Reynolds or Swift to stand up for Lively's rewrites as they are "really good and it's going to make the movie sing like you said”. Elsewhere, Baldoni conceded communicating via text and voice notes wasn't his "biggest strength” and claimed he would send her the script once he had "implemented" her suggestions into the "working draft”. ”All that to say, I'm just looking forward to spending time together and I think that's really going to go a long way for our chemistry, which I believe is there, (and) has been there from the start.” Representatives for Baldoni and Lively have not yet commented on the audio clip.
