Studying Time: 3 minutes
Recreation. Set. Match, Blake Energetic?
Whereas engaged on movie It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni seemingly despatched his co-star a seven-minute voice memo in regards to the film’s iconic rooftop scene… which he mentioned in a January 16 lawsuit that Energetic rewrote after he agreed to let her pitch just a few adjustments.
Previous to submitting his personal lawsuit, Baldoni was accused by Energetic of sexual harassment on the set of their current hit film.
She alleged on the time that Baldoni created a hostile work atmosphere on the film’s set and later took half in a smear marketing campaign in opposition to the Gossip Lady alum.
“Hey Blake, it’s 2 [a.m.] in the morning. Hopefully this does not wake you up. There is so much I want to say to you,” Baldoni begins on this just-released message, which TMZ obtained in its entirety on Monday, January 27.
The actor, who additionally directed It Ends With Us, proceeded to pour out his emotions about his and Energetic’s massive display screen adaption, saying, “I want to start with an apology” and including:
“Man, reading the second part of your message, my heart sank. I’m really sorry. I for sure fell short and you worked really hard on that. The way you framed it and how it made you feel, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that with me.”
We don’t understand how TMZ obtained this message.
Nor do we all know the precise accusations to which Baldoni is responding right here.
Baldoni famous he was “very grateful” that Energetic felt “safe enough” to inform him her emotions in regards to the mission and her expertise in Hollywood as an entire.
“I’m really sorry. I f—ed up. That is a fail on my part,” Baldoni mentioned. “One thing you should know about me, I will admit and apologize when I fail. I am far from perfect. I am a very flawed man as my wife will attest.”
Beforehand, Energetic alleged that Baldoni touched her in opposition to her will.
She additionally mentioned he talked about intercourse together with his spouse in an odd and open method, confirmed her pornographic materials and usually kissed and cozied as much as her in ways in which have been NOT within the film’s script.
“I’m gonna f— up. I’m gonna say the wrong thing. I’m gonna put my foot in my mouth. I’m gonna say the wrong thing, probably. But I will always apologize and find my way back to center. That is one thing I can assure you of,” continued Baldoni on this obvious voice memo, which appears to substantiate a few of Energetic’s allegations in opposition to him.
Baldoni then apologized once more (“I’m sorry I made you feel that way. That must have felt terrible.”) and vowed:
“I will for sure do better. That was not my best weekend. I should’ve given it more time.”
About two weeks in the past, Baldoni sued Energetic and others for $400 million, stating for the authorized file that she has defamed him and lied about him.
This will likely nonetheless be the case, we suppose.
Elsewhere in his voice memo, although, Baldoni apologized to Energetic for “what you’ve been through with these other filmmakers,” calling them “f–kheads” and saying:
“I’m just still kind of blown away that this is the industry we’re in and that you’ve experienced that as a woman. Hopefully, it’s not been the experience with me.”
The discharge of this voice memo coincided on Monday with a federal decide ruling that Justin Baldoni and Blake Energetic may very well be headed for a trial on March 9, 2026 in response to their authorized submitting.
