Welp, of all people, Megyn Kelly just leaked an audio message from Justin Baldoni that pertains to his ongoing It Ends With Us feud and legal battle with costar Blake Lively. God only knows why this insufferable MAGA enthusiast is yapping about a celeb feud on her allegedly “political” show, but here we are!
During a January 7 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn had on Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, as her guest. (Apparently, he’s repped Megyn in the past, because of course.) She played the never-heard-before audio message without revealing how TF she got her hands on it. Notably, Deadline reported that they were “unable to independently verify or date the voice message.”
In the leaked audio message, Justin, who directed the film and starred in it alongside Blake, expresses disappointment that he was “sent to the basement” during the It Ends With Us premiere. He reflects on the experience and finds a silver lining in the situation. Here’s the full Justin Baldoni leaked audio about Blake Lively and the It Ends With Us premiere.

Justin Baldoni’s Leaked Voice Message About The It Ends With Us Premiere
This new audio message is basically Justin politely whining about being excluded during the premiere, which was held at New York City’s AMC Lincoln Square Theater on August 6, 2024. He reportedly wasn’t even invited at first, but the compromise was that he could go and just not interact with Blake or the rest of the cast. At the time, we all knew something was off when there were zero premiere photos of Justin with any other cast members.
“On what could have been one of the most beautiful nights of my life career wise, I literally was sent to the basement with all my friends and family for over an hour because I wasn’t allowed to be seen,” he says in the message. “She didn’t want me anywhere near her or the rest of the cast.” I’m assuming the “she” in question is Blake.
Justin continues, “We start laughing because of the ridiculousness of this whole thing and I realize like on a night that was supposed to be so materialistically joyful, I was in the basement with the people that love me the most and we were all joyful and laughing ’cause none of that shit matters, none of it.”
This is the latest development in Justin and Blake’s very public, very messy feud. Blake is suing Justin for alleged on-set sexual harassment and retaliation, and Justin has since denied the allegations and sued The New York Times for libel over their article on the subject, “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.”
Although Justin hasn’t counter-sued Blake yet, his lawyer told Megyn that the actress will be sued “into oblivion.” Sigh. I’m guessing there will be more updates on this exhausting, unfortunate saga very soon.
