Justin Baldoni allegedly heard apologizing to Blake Lively in leaked voice note amid legal battle

A leaked voice note seemingly hears Justin Baldoni apologize to Blake Lively.

Baldoni and Lively have been embroiled in a legal battle for some weeks now after the Gossip Girl alum sued Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment.

Baldoni, who co-starred in and directed It Ends With Us, has since filed a countersuit and is suing Lively and her A-list husband Ryan Reynolds for a whopping $400 million.

There's been a lot of back and forth between the celebrities' respective legal parties, and now a lengthly voice note allegedly recorded by Baldoni has been leaked online.

In the audio obtained by TMZ and Mail Online, the Jane the Virgin actor is seemingly heard apologizing to Lively and describes himself as a 'flawed man'.

"I'm really sorry. I for sure fell short and you worked really hard on that," a man, believed to be Baldoni, says.

"I f****d up. One thing you should know about me is that I will admit and apologise when I fail. I am far from perfect and I'm a very flawed man, as my wife will attest," the man goes on to chuckle.

Baldoni allegedly admitted that he'd 'fallen short' in his text and voice note exchanges with Lively, seemingly adding that he feels like he 'excels' in face-to-face interactions instead.

"All I have to say is I'm really looking forward to spending time together and I think that's going to go a long way for our chemistry, which I believe is there," the actor allegedly went on.

"It's been there from the start so I was so damn excited when you wanted to do this film. I think it does come from us both being so f**king hard working and having a vision and not settling.

"I'm excited to have a creative partner in that with you."

UNILAD has approached reps for both Lively and Baldoni for comment on the leaked audio.

Amid the ongoing drama, a judge has recently set a date for the pair's civil trial and is set to take place in New York on March 9, 2026.

Federal judge Lewis J Liman has also moved the initial conference from mid-February to next week and told lawyers to be prepared to address complaints about pretrial publicity and lawyer conduct.

The decision comes after Lively's legal team accused one of Baldoni's lawyers of trying to taint potential jurors over lawsuits the actors have filed against each other.

Alleged leaked Justin Baldoni voice note in full

"Hey, Blake. It is two in the morning. Hopefully this does not wake you up. Wow, there's so much I want to say to you, and I hope that we can FaceTime or see each other in person soon and get to talk more, but I'm just going to send you a few thoughts, and hopefully it's not going to be more than a few minutes, but that I don't have the best track record. I don't think either one of us have the best track record for voice memos

"I want to start with an apology. Man, I... reading the second part of your message, my heart sank, and I'm really sorry. I for sure fell short, and you worked really hard on that, and the way you framed it, and how that made you feel. I just want to say thank you for sharing that with me. That takes a lot of trust and vulnerability. And I just, I feel really grateful that you feel safe enough to tell me that that's how you feel and share that with me and I'm really sorry.

"I f**ked up, that is a fail on my part. One thing you should know about me is I will admit and apologize when I fail. I am far from perfect. I'm a very flawed man, as my wife will attest and and I'm gonna f**k up, I'm gonna say the wrong thing, I'm gonna put my foot in my mouth. I'm gonna piss you off, probably, but I will always apologize and then find my way back to center. That is one thing I can assure you of, and I'm sorry I made you feel that way. That must have felt terrible, and I will, for sure, do better. That was not my best weekend, and I should have given it more time.

"And damn, right, you got great friends, if that's how you felt, and they knew that. And we should all have friends like that, aside from the fact that they're two of the most creative people on the planet. The three of you guys together. It's unbelievable. Talk about energy, just to force of all three of you.

"But I just wanted you to know that I didn't need that, because it's really good and it's gonna make the movie sing, like you said, and I'm excited to go through the whole movie with you. I'm just excited to spend time with you. I'm excited to be in your sphere and your presence, and for us to share creative juices together. Although that sounds terrible.

"I think you and I have been trying to build a relationship, which I think we've done successfully. I mean, here we are talking like this, me into my phone at two in the morning, but largely via text and voice note. I will be honest with you, that is not my biggest strength. I love being with people and being in somebody's space and being face-to-face, and I feel like that's where I excel, and definitely fallen short at times in our text and voice note exchanges, because there's so much to communicate and there's so much happening.

"All that's to say, I'm just really looking forward to spending time together, and I think that's going to really go a long way for our chemistry, which I believe is there and has been there from the start. So I was so damn excited when you wanted to do this film. I felt it in the room when we met. Yeah, I think it does come from the both of us being so f**king hard working and having a vision and not settling. And I'm excited to have a creative partner in that with you. And it's just really exciting.

"There's so much more to say. There's so much I want to say. Oh, and there's one thing that I do need to say, which is, I am so sorry you have been through what you've been through with these other filmmakers and producers or whoever the people were that you worked with. It just pissed me off. I'm just still kind of blown away, that this is the industry that we're in, that you've experienced that as a woman. I know I don't need to say it, but that's not at all going to be or will be... hopefully it's not been the experience with me.

"There's nothing more exciting to me. I get to work with Blake Lively and have her, all of her, that's what I want. And so there's been no hesitancy with me sending you the final draft file. I am totally fine with that. The only reason I didn't send it today was because I was trying to implement and add your notes into my working draft, which is already like, I'm all over that draft right now.

"So there's a whole bunch of new stars that are going to be collated pages. I just haven't had a chance to send it to you, but there's no hesitancy. I'm happy to send it to you and I'm sorry that that has happened to you before and, and I hope after this experience, there will be a new... I hope it'll be healing in some way. That's all I want. I want this movie to be healing. I want this movie to be commercial just like you, and affect people and touch people. And I want to walk you through my whole plan and the work that we're doing with the domestic violence partner that we found NO MORE and just my vision, and I just, I just know that this can be really, really special, and it's going to be special, and you're the secret sauce, and we're the secret sauce.

"Anyways, I have so much more to say. I'm going to stop rambling, because, Jesus Christ, it's been six minutes and 30 seconds. I'm sorry, you probably have kids all over you and a baby on your boob, and you're listening to me ramble at two in the morning. I hope you're feeling better and give Ryan my love thank you for sending me that, means the world to me, that you trust me with your feelings and your thoughts like that, and I can't wait to spend more time with you. Okay, I'm done cutting myself off. Good night."
