Justin Baldoni’s awkward hug with Britney Spears resurfaces amid Blake Lively lawsuit

by

In response to recent events surrounding his costar Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni pondered over whether his actions were acceptable after he gave Britney Spears a hug during their 2017 conversation, which has once again become the topic of discussion.

In a more casual tone, we could say: Justin Baldoni, who is 40 years old, acted as Rafael Solano in 99 episodes of the television show Jane the Virgin on The CW network, between the years 2014 and 2019.

During the second season of the show, I had the privilege of making an appearance in an episode entitled “Chapter Twenty-Seven,” which first graced our screens on November 9, 2015. On that special day, I stepped into the spotlight and took on a role – none other than myself!

He informed Fuse that during the show, his character didn’t have any scenes featuring the Oops!…I Did It Again singer in which lines were written for them to say.

As a die-hard fanboy, let me tell you, the moment I found out Britney Spears was joining our show, my heart skipped a beat! But here’s the kicker: I never got to collaborate with her, which left me absolutely devastated. To add salt to the wound, there wasn’t a single scene featuring my character and the legendary Britney Spears – a decision likely made by her.

Baldoni mentioned about the pop star and The CW series, ‘I knew she was a fan of our show. While we were filming, some of us who weren’t in her scenes took a break to watch her perform on set.’

Baldoni mentioned that he was a big fan of Britney Spears during his high school years, further stating, ‘Aren’t most teenage boys?’

Previously, Baldoni claimed that he and the Grammy-winning pop artist had interacted on social media platforms, which made him expect a more intense response from her compared to what was shown.

Baldoni stated that after exchanging tweets with someone, he approached her thinking we were friends, but that wasn’t the case. When he went up to her for a hug, it appears he startled her.

Baldoni realized that his co-stars on the show were chuckling over the awkward moment, and he pondered internally, “Did I inadvertently make unwanted advances towards Britney Spears?

We’ve attempted to get a response from Baldoni regarding the recent developments in the ongoing situation.

In her lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, the former Gossip Girl star, Lively, claimed that Baldoni had made inappropriate comments and actions towards her – including criticizing her physical appearance – while they were working on the movie together.

As a die-hard fan speaking up, I’ve got some intriguing insights! You know that LA native, the one and only Wilmer Valderrama, aged 37? Well, it turns out, he’s been secretly battling lower back pain – but This fascinating revelation emerged after scrutinizing documents related to the civil rights complaint filed in California, December 20th. Fascinating, isn’t it?

As an ardent admirer putting it, here’s how I would rephrase that: In a 80-page legal document, the amazingly radiant woman who shares her life with Deadpool’s dashing star, Ryan Reynolds (age 48), is quoted as saying. She claimed that Mr. Baldoni, in a rather suspicious tone, referred to her trainer as a “covert agent” and attempted to spread rumors to paint his concerns about his lower back pain as something more sinister.

In the romantic drama, Lively (the actress portraying Lily Bloom) shared that Baldoni (her co-star as Ryle Kincaid) expressed his concerns about their trainer to the film crew through a sequence of text messages.

In her grievance to the California Civil Rights Department, Lively chose not to directly mention the fitness instructor, as reported by the media outlet.

According to Baldoni, the personal trainer informed Lively that she was expected to lose weight for the movie within less than four months following the birth of her fourth child, Olin – as stated by Lively in her court documents.

In the filing, Lively expressed feeling deeply embarrassed when she discovered that Baldoni had gathered a meeting with the trainer without her consent, suggesting that they aim for her to shed weight within two weeks.

Regarding the mention of back pain, Lively stated that Baldoni informed the trainer he had inquired due to his worry about lifting her during a scene for the film, yet no such lifting scene was included in the script.

In the complaint, Lively asserted that Baldoni was dishonest in various aspects related to her physique, as she often felt embarrassed about her body shape.

On one occasion, according to E! News following their review of the complaint, she claimed that he had tricked her into visiting a weight loss specialist by pretending to refer her to a probiotics expert, all under the false pretense, as she had contracted strep throat prior to this.

In the complaint, Lively’s legal team stated that Baldoni frequently undermined her (Lively) by discreetly criticizing her physical appearance and weight.

In her lawsuit, Lively stated that Baldoni and several other individuals joined forces to orchestrate a harmful public smear campaign aimed at tarnishing her reputation.

First, she lodged a grievance with the California Civil Rights Department on December 21st, and later, on December 31st, she initiated a federal lawsuit against him.

The following day after filing the complaint, Lively expressed to The New York Times her hope that her lawsuit would unveil the hidden, harmful tactics of retaliation against those speaking out about misconduct, thus safeguarding others who might face similar situations.

Baldon strongly refutes every allegation made against him in Lively’s court document, and he’s filed a lawsuit against the newspaper for a defamation lawsuit worth $250 million.

After the submission of the complaint, Baldoni has experienced several occupational ramifications, such as a legal action initiated by a previous publicist, and being let go by the agency, WME, which also represents Lively and Reynolds.

The film titled ‘It Ends with Us,’ featuring stars like Jenny Slate, Hasan Minhaj, Brandon Sklenar, and Kevin McKidd, made its debut on August 9 and garnered positive responses from viewers.

The movie based on Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel generated a total of $148 million at the domestic box office and an additional $350 million worldwide, as reported by Box Office Mojo.
