Justin Baldoni Breaks Social Media Silence for Mother’s Day Amid Legal Battle

LOS ANGELES, CA — Justin Baldoni, the actor and director from “It Ends With Us,” broke his five-month social media silence with a heartfelt post dedicated to his wife, Emily Baldoni, and his mother, Sharon Baldoni, in honor of Mother’s Day.

On Sunday, May 11, Baldoni shared a family photo on Instagram, expressing love and appreciation. He captioned the picture, which shows him with his wife and two children, “My mom gave us faith. My wife is the definition of it. Our children are growing up in the fortress of that love. Happy Mother’s Day to all.” The post has received over 50,000 likes and numerous supportive comments.

This marks Baldoni’s return to social media after stepping back due to a legal battle with his “It Ends With Us” co-star, Blake Lively. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, and launching a smear campaign against her. Baldoni has denied these allegations through his attorney, who called them “completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious.”

Baldoni’s last social media update was promoting the film shortly before Lively’s lawsuit was made public. The legal dispute escalated quickly, damaging Baldoni’s professional relationships, including his agency withdrawal.

As the situation unfolds, a trial date is set for March 9, 2026, in New York, where both parties will present their cases. Amidst the controversy, Lively has continued to appear publicly and advocate for others to speak out about harassment, aligning herself with the ongoing fight for women’s rights.

In a show of support, Baldoni’s friends in the entertainment industry welcomed his return to social media. Celebrity hairstylist Justin Anderson commented on the post, praising the importance of women in Baldoni’s life. Fans expressed their solidarity through comments like, “Baldoni, you are a true example of integrity and dedication. We’re standing by you.”

The return to social media is seen as a significant moment for Baldoni as he navigates his personal and professional life amidst serious legal challenges.
