Actor Justin Baldoni's wedding apology to his wife has resurfaced in the wake of his It Ends With Us Blake Lively's lawsuit and sexual harassment complaint against him. As he tied the knot with his wife, Swedish actress Emily Baldoni, the Jane The Virgin actor told his bride that he was sorry for "anything I've ever said or done that has hurt you" - also apologising for his "faults, shortcomings, insecurities and my ego.".
Baldoni, 40, and the studio behind the romantic drama based on Colleen Hoover's bestselling book of the same name are accused of embarking on a "multi-tiered plan" to damage Lively’s reputation following a meeting to address accusations against Baldoni and a producer of the film of "repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviour". He strongly denies the allegations.
In the complaint for damages, which precedes a lawsuit, Baldoni, his publicists and Wayfarer Studios, are listed among the defendants. It Ends With Us is about a woman’s pursuit of a loving and healthy relationship, with Lively, 37, playing the lead character Lily Bloom and Baldoni as her love interest Ryle Kincaid.
Baldoni's wife Emily makes a cameo in the film, playing the medic carrying out a scan on Lively's pregnant character Lily. Emily and Baldoni, who share two children together, tied the knot in July 2013 in Corona, California. MailOnline reports Baldoni promised to "cherish, listen to you, honour you and respect" his wife during their Midsummer Night’s Dream-themed nuptials.
