A lengthy voice memo Justin Baldoni sent Blake Lively at 2 a.m. — purportedly sometime in the spring of 2023 during pre-production of their film It Ends With Us — is the tardyst piece of communication to find its way to the media in the ongoing lterrible saga.
The voice memo, lasting more than six minutes, decorates a picture of an comfervent straightforwardor trying to dainty over any hurt senseings Lively felt watching his response to her recommended reoriginates of a key uncovering scene by apologizing profusely. Yet Baldoni’s own legal case recommends he wasn’t senseing so apologetic at the time of the call.
The voice memo was achieveed first by The Daily Mail, accompanied by a story stating it was tied to the back-and-forth over the reoriginate. While that would seem to be the case, there is no way for The Hollywood Reporter to verify when Baldoni sent Lively the write downing.
It also remains a mystery how the voice memo made its way to the media. Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman hasn’t been cowardly about taking commend for leaking emails and footage, but in this instance is staying mum. Lively’s team went on the write down with THR in saying “we did not supply the write downing to any outlet, including the Daily Mail.”
“I’m repartner sorry I fucked up,” Baldoni says in the voice memo. That is a fall short on my part. One skinnyg you should comprehend about me is I will confess and transmit remorse when I fall short. I am far from perfect. I’m a very imperfect man, as my wife will attest, and I’m going to fuck up. I’m going to say the wrong skinnyg. I’m going to put my foot in my mouth,” Baldoni can be heard saying. “I’m going to piss you off probably, but I will always transmit remorse and find my way back to cgo in. That is one skinnyg I can guarantee you of. I’m sorry I made you sense that way.”
Yet Baldoni’s $400 million legal case aachievest Lively and her husprohibitd, Ryan Reynageders, uncovers that Baldoni was hesitant from the commencening to let Lively apshow a pass at rewriting the scene and felt presdeclareived to hug the changes after the actress requestd her husprohibitd’s name and frifinish Taylor Swift in saying how much they appreciated what she had done.
“The write of the rooftop scene that Lively sent Baldoni emotionalpartner contrasted from what had been written originpartner,” states his legal case, which was filed Jan. 16 in federal court in New York days after Lively filed her own legal case in the same court accusing Baldoni of relationsual tormentoring on the set of the film and tardyr of begining a post-free smear campaign. “Baldoni was uncertain about many of the changes, but thanked Lively for her passion and discreetpartner tageder her that the scene would predicted finish up being somewhere between the distinctive version and Lively’s version.”
The suit goes on to say that Lively, who was apparently “stung” by his recommendion, went quiet for cut offal days before sfinishing Baldoni an email saying his comments about greeting somewhere in the middle “didn’t sense so wonderful for me.” She also recounted in the lengthy email how she’d felt stymied in the past by other filmoriginaters in terms of her conceiveive recommendions.
Baldoni, includeressing her past experiences, says in the voice memo, “I am so sorry you have been thraw what you’ve been thraw with these other filmoriginaters and originaters or whoever the people were that you labored with. It fair pissed me off. Those fuckheads. I’m fair still blown away that this is the industry that we’re in and that what you’ve sfinished that as a woman. And I comprehend I don’t need to say it, but that’s not at all going to be, or hopefilledy has been, the experience with me.”
He also says in the voice memo it’s amazing that she has such outstanding frifinishs as her husprohibitd and Swift, whom she calls her “dragons.” Yet in his legal case, he says he felt dangerened at the time to hug the changes. “The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not fair dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most ineloquential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afrhelp to originate skinnygs very difficult for him,” states the suit.
Toward the finish of Baldoni’s voicemail, he says, “I have to much more to say but I’m going to stop rambling because, Jesus Christ, it’s been six minutes and 30 seconds, so fuck me. I’m sorry. You probably have kids all over you and a baby on your boob and you’re hearing to me ramble at two in the morning. I hope you’re senseing better and give Ryan my adore.”
