Justin Baldoni and his Emily Baldoni break silence on Blake Lively legal battle
This outing came before Baldoni, and his wife Emily published an Instagram video Wednesday that cast Lively's supposed 'fight for women' as a grave 'injustice' Baldoni has had to endure.
“We haven't done this in a while,” Baldoni began his video with a chuckle as his wife agreed.
He added, “So we have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it's not because we haven't had anything to say, because Lord knows we have.”
While Baldoni stopped short of commenting on every detail of the lawsuit, he indicated that additional updates are on the way.
“It just felt like every time we went to make a video like this where we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to. It just didn't feel like the right time,” he said.
The Jane the Virgin star went on to say, “And we were talking about it and feeling into it and praying about it…” as Emily finished his sentence, “... and this feels like the moment.”
“So here we are,” Baldoni added as he cracked a smile.
“There is so much to say, and it makes it hard to speak,” Emily continued, before adding, “It makes it hard to figure out what is right for us, for this specific moment.”
The latest development comes after Lively sought $8 million from Baldoni to cover legal expenses tied to his $400 million defamation case.
