Justin Baldoni's wife speaks out for the first time since lawsuits filed against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Justin Baldoni’s wife Emily has spoken out for the first time since he became embroiled in lawsuits.

Back in December, the It Ends with Us actor and director was sued by his co-star, Blake Lively, who accused him of sexual harassment and attempting to launch a smear campaign against her.

His team then filed on his behalf earlier this month, claiming defamation against the actor and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Baldoni’s attorney claims Lively and her team took certain measures to gain control over the film.

He has slammed the star’s claims against him as ‘categorically false’ while her team called his lawsuit ‘another chapter in the abuser playbook’.

Throughout this period of back-and-forth between the stars, Emily has not released a statement but posted a tribute to her husband for his 41st birthday yesterday (24 January).

The mum-of-two rarely posts on Instagram but shared a snap of the family by the sea, sharing a kiss with Baldoni.

Showing total support for her husband, she wrote in the caption: “Happy birthday my love. Celebrating the man, husband, and father that you are. I’d choose you again and again.”

Emily can be seen in images shared by Baldoni’s team in the filing, alleging he and his guests were forced to wait in a ‘holding area’ during an It Ends With Us premiere event.

Cited in these court documents, photos show the couple alongside friends and family,

sat at a table in a room that appears to be a basement, if not some kind of back room.

The group are smiling for the camera with boxes of popcorn as another snap shows them with crates of water and cola bottles. Baldoni can be seen wearing the same pink suit he had worn on the red carpet that day.

In the filing, it’s alleged his guests were ‘ushered’ inside the movie premiere before being ‘held’ in this room to ‘avoid even a chance of interaction with Lively or her guests' when she arrived.

Baldoni’s lawsuit also alleges his co-star used ‘threats and extortion’ to ‘relegate’ her colleagues.

It said: “They were confined to a makeshift holding area surrounded by concession stand stock, with only fold-out tables and chairs arranged in a square.

“Surrounded by close friends, family, soda bottles, and a lot of love, the irony of being held in a basement on what was arguably one of the most important nights of Baldoni’s career thus far, was not lost on anyone.”

Lively’s lawyers said the suit is an attempt ‘to turn the tables on the victim', while Baldoni's legal team have maintained it is 'based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence'.
