Megyn Kelly Sides With Justin Baldoni After BTS ‘It Ends With Us’ Filming With Blake Lively: ‘I Don’t Actually Believe Her Now’

Megyn Kelly is finding it harder and harder to stand up to Blake Lively with each new piece of information released amid her and Justin Baldoni’s “It Ends With Us” legal battle.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host delved into behind-the-scenes footage during the production of “It Ends With Us,” released by Baldoni and his legal team Tuesday. The 10-minute footage shows Lively and Baldoni dancing in one of the film’s romantic scenes, cited in Lively’s original complaint. The video shows them flirting on camera but talking and joking out of character and discussing the scene at hand as the scene being filmed would not have sound.

Baldoni released the footage, claiming it disproves Lively’s complaint, which characterized the moment as fraught with unwanted sexual advances. Lively’s team responded shortly after Wednesday, calling the footage a “fabricated media stunt” that “confirms to the letter what Ms. Lively described in paragraph 48 of her complaint.”

“This case is in active litigation in federal court,” Lively’s statement continued. “Releasing this video to the media instead of presenting it as evidence in court is yet another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public.”

However, Kelly doesn’t think the footage matches how Lively painted the moment in her trial.

On Thursday’s podcast, the host also stated that Lively is trying to place a gag order on Baldoni to prevent him from releasing more about the story from his point of view. The host added that if Lively was telling the truth, she wouldn’t need the gag order.

“Now that she’s had her shot at him and she seriously damaged him with that New York Times piece in this complaint that she managed to get leaked, now she wants a full gag order,” Kelly said. “Now he has to be shut down to protect her. It’s very unfair to poor Blake. Why would Justin be able to release excerpts to the media without the full context? That’s what she said. That’s what she did.”

She continued: “I’m just saying that this person is not an honest broker. I believe her less than ever. In fact, I completely disagree with her now and they should not be gagged. I would be happy to help release any further leaks that they have, because the truth should be out there. What does she have to fear if she’s telling the truth?”

Wednesday’s video is the latest salvo in a week-long legal dust-up between the “It Ends With Us” co-stars. Baldoni has already sued the New York Times for $250 million, citing defamation, and stated in a separate lawsuit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds that Nicepool character in “Deadpool & Wolverine” was created to “taunt” him.

Lively has accused Baldoni of improvising without an intimacy coordinator “physical intimacy that had not been rehearsed, choreographed or discussed with (her)” and of forcing her into an unplanned nude scene.
