Justin Baldoni Previously Apologized to Blake Lively in Leaked Voicemail

by

In a recently disclosed voicemail, it appears that Justin Baldoni is offering his apologies to Blake Lively regarding a disagreement they had concerning a rooftop scene in the film “It Ends With Us.” The scene, as per reports, was later rewritten by Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

In a recent recording I’ve shared (originally published by Daily Mail), I, [Gamer], express my sincere apologies to Blake Lively for not meeting her expectations when it came to adjusting a particular scene in our game. This issue appears to be the main cause of our disagreement. In the six-minute voicemail, you can hear me passionately explaining that I dropped the ball in addressing the changes effectively.

The specific time the message was sent isn’t clear, but Baldoni suggests it happened around 2 a.m., implying the conversation took place late at night. Furthermore, Baldoni admits in his message that he is far from perfect and proposes that they could create an excellent movie if they collaborate together.

Additionally, he mentions a message from Lively that left him feeling disheartened, and admits that he mishandled the situation he’s referring to, using a more colloquial term like “messed up.

What did Justin Baldoni say in his apology?

At 2 a.m., Baldoni reached out to Blake via THR and said, “I hope this message doesn’t disturb you. Phew, there’s so much on my mind that I want to share with you, and I’m hoping we can have a FaceTime call or meet up in person soon to talk more about it. However, for now, I’ll just send you some thoughts, trying not to take too long, but I may ramble a bit – as we both tend to do with our voice memos.

Firstly, I want to apologize. Reading the second part of your message, my heart dropped. I’m truly sorry.

I truly missed the mark with what I did, given your effort and the heart you put into it. The way you expressed yourself and the emotions it evoked in you were deeply impactful for me. I’d like to express my gratitude for confiding in me about your feelings. It takes courage and trust to do so, and I feel incredibly grateful that you feel secure enough to share such intimate thoughts with me. I sincerely apologize. I let you down. That was a mistake on my part.

Later in the voice message, Baldoni spoke about a text Lively had sent, suggesting that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and music icon Taylor Swift were like guardians, aiming to shield her. Baldoni admired this concept and stated that the trio collectively represented power, expressing his enthusiasm for working on the project with her.

Indeed, you are fortunate to have such wonderful friends,” Baldoni expressed. “It’s fantastic if they know how much you value them – we all should strive for friendships like that! Not only are they incredibly creative individuals, but the chemistry between the three of you is remarkable. The energy, the force, it’s incredible from all of you. I wanted to let you know that I don’t need that energy to make this movie successful because it will indeed make the film shine as you said, and I’m thrilled to work on the entire project with you. I’m simply excited to be in your company, to share creative ideas together. Although the phrase ‘spheres of influence’ might sound strange.

Baldoni expresses “no hesitancy” in sending Lively final draft of film

Near the conclusion of his voice message, Baldoni hinted at forwarding Lively the conclusive version of the movie’s script and expressed no reservations about it. He further remarked that the film could turn out to be extraordinary, before expressing regret yet again.

Baldoni expressed his enthusiasm about collaborating with Blake Lively by saying, ‘Working with her is my ultimate desire, and I’m not holding back on sending you the script. I’ve been actively incorporating your suggestions into my draft, so it may take a bit more time before I can send it to you.’ He added that he hopes this collaboration will bring some healing and positivity, as he wants nothing more than a smooth working experience.

I aspire for this movie to have a healing impact. Just like you, I aim for it to resonate with people emotionally and make them think deeply about important issues. I’d like to discuss our entire plan, as well as the work we’re doing with No More, an organization that focuses on domestic violence. I believe this project has great potential to be truly remarkable. We are a dynamic team and together we can create something truly special.

I’m excited to share more, but I don’t want to take up too much of your time. I’ve been going on for over six minutes, so I apologize if I’ve disturbed you, especially since it might be late and you may have children or a baby to attend to. I hope everything is going well with you, and please pass my regards to Ryan.
