Justin Baldoni’s dad, Sam Baldoni, is weighing in on his son’s ongoing legal battle against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

A high school librarian has gone viral on TikTok for making a bulletin board reading, “In a world of Blake and Ryans, be a Justin.” Multiple outlets reported that Justin’s father, Sam, was quick to repost the video on his own Instagram Story March 2025.

This was hardly the first time that someone in Justin’s immediate family made a reference to the It Ends With Usdirector’s legal battle. Justin’s mom, Sharon Baldoni, called out “justice” in her January 2025 birthday tribute to the actor.

Justin sued The New York Times after they published Lively’s complaint in December 2024, accusing him and his Wayfarer Studios of sexual harassment on the film’s set. (The newspaper has since filed to dismiss the suit and Baldoni has denied Lively’s claims.) Justin has also sued Lively and Reynolds, along with her publicist, Leslie Sloane. (Sloane has filed to be removed from the suit.)

The pair are set to face off in court starting in March 2026, but a New York judge has threatened to move up the trial if it continues to play out in the public eye. Neither Lively nor Justin have spoken out publicly about the legal drama, making statements strictly through their legal team.
