Actor and director Justin Baldoni is opening up about the emotional toll of what he describes as an incredibly difficult year.
In a newly released teaser for his upcoming podcast, Gent’s Talk, Baldoni appears visibly emotional, wiping away tears as he reflects on his struggles.
According to Page Six, the 40-year-old star shared that he has been grappling with anxiety throughout his ongoing legal battle involving actress Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
Baldoni described the experience as far more challenging than he ever anticipated when he first became involved in the movie at the center of the dispute. The clip ends with him burying his face in his hands, overwhelmed by the weight of the situation.
As reported by Page Six, Lively has accused Baldoni of harassment and allegedly attempting to orchestrate a smear campaign against her. In response, Baldoni has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Gossip Girl star, as well as legal action against The New York Times, claiming they falsely accused him of actions he did not commit.
With tensions running high, the legal battle continues to unfold, and Baldoni’s emotional revelation has left fans concerned about his well-being.
