Justin Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, appeared on "The Megyn Kelly Show" where a voice message allegedly sent by Baldoni was played, claiming he was sent to the basement during the "It Ends With Us" premiere because Blake Lively did not want him near the cast. The premiere took place on August 6, 2024, at New York City's AMC Lincoln Square Theater. Lively's legal team responded to the allegations, stating that her claims of sexual harassment and retaliation against Baldoni are supported by evidence. Both parties are involved in legal battles, with Baldoni planning to sue Lively over her accusations.
