Justin Baldoni recently revealed his personal struggles before facing sexual harassment accusations from his It Ends With Us co-star, Blake Lively.
During his appearance on the Gent’s Talk Podcast, the Clouds star shared that the past year had been “intense” as he struggled with anxiety issues.
Baldoni remarked, “This morning, I sent a text message to my best friend Jamey and the president of my company, Tera, and told them that I wasn’t in the best place.”
“I told them that I was exhausted, that I haven’t given myself time to recover or heal,” the father-of-two disclosed.
For context, Jamey Heath is the CEO of his production company, Wayfarer Studios, and Tera Hanks is the president of the organization.
Meanwhile, speaking with the host, the 41-year-old actor became emotional as he described his mental health struggles.
The popular actor-director later explained that one random night, he woke up in the middle of the night with his “heart racing.”
According to the Jane the Virgin actor, this was the first time he realized he was suffering from “some anxiety.”
These comments were made by Baldoni before being sued by Lively, who accused him of allegedly harassing her in multiple ways during the filming of their romantic-drama film.
In her December filing, the mother-of-four also claimed that her co-actor had run a smear campaign against her.
However, in response to Lively’s allegations, Baldoni filed a counter-case in federal court and demanded $400 million from the actress for publicly defaming his image.
Since then, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have been involved in a messy legal battle and will face each other in the first case proceeding of their lawsuit in March 2026.
