Gina Rodriguez Takes a Stand in Justin Baldoni's Shocking Drama

Share Post

Justin Baldoni’s former “Jane the Virgin” co-star Gina Rodriguez is on his side in his drama with Blake Lively.

Rodriguez showed support for Justin and his wife, Emily, in the comments section of their new Instagram video, in which they broke their silence on the “It Ends With Us” legal battle.

“Love you friends,” Rodriguez, 41, wrote.

“Por vida,” she added, which means “for life” in Spanish.

Brett Dier, another “Jane the Virgin” alum, also backed the Baldonis by commenting, “I love you guys,” with two red heart emojis.

Justin, 42, and Rodriguez played love interests on “Jane the Virgin,” which aired on the CW from 2014 to 2019.

A few months before Lively sued Justin for sexual harassment in December 2024, Rodriguez called the actor and director her “brother forever” in an interview with People.

Rodriguez also said Justin was “hands down the person I stay in touch with the most, for sure” out of the show’s cast.

Justin and Lively, 38, were locked in a two-year legal battle stemming from their 2024 film “It Ends With Us” that was settled out of court on May 4 — just two weeks before their trial was scheduled to begin.

In their video shared on Wednesday, Justin and Emily, 41, said they were feeling “immense gratitude” for those who supported them during the legal war.

However, Emily said the couple dealt with “injustice and pain” due to Lively’s accusations against Baldoni, which she said were “disguised as a fight for women.”

Justin explained they waited so long to speak up because they “didn’t want to add to the noise” and “wanted to let the justice system run its course.”

The “Five Feet Apart” director also told fans the couple are still “healing” from the “traumatic” experience.

Page Six previously confirmed that neither Justin nor Lively earned any money in their settlement.

However, both stars’ legal teams made $60 million combined to sue and countersue one another, sources told Page Six Hollywood.

A few weeks after the settlement was reached, Lively forced Justin back to court by demanding he pay more than $8 million in her legal fees from the case.

The “Gossip Girl” alum and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, were not invited to former bestie Taylor Swift’s wedding last weekend after dragging the singer into the legal battle with Baldoni.
