Justin Baldoni and his wife are finally speaking out about their long legal battle with Blake Lively.
The 42-year-old actor and his wife Emily appeared in an Instagram video on Wednesday in which they appeared to bash the 38-year-old actress, calling her ‘fight for women’ an ‘injustice’ that Baldoni had been subjected to.
The update from the couple comes after Lively demanded a whopping $8 million from Baldoni to cover her legal fees while battling his $400 million defamation lawsuit.
‘We haven’t done this in a while,’ Baldoni began his video with a chuckle as his wife agreed.
‘So we have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it’s not because we haven’t had anything to say, because Lord knows we have,’ he continued. ‘But it just felt like every time we went to make a video like this where we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to. It just didn’t feel like the right time.’
‘And we were talking about it and feeling into it and praying about it –’ he added as Emily finished his sentence: ‘– and this feels like the moment.’

‘So here we are,’ Justin added as he cracked a smile.
‘There is so much to say, and it makes it hard to speak,’ Emily continued. ‘It makes it hard to figure out what is right for us, for this specific moment.’
‘And we’re not gonna say it all,’ Justin added.
‘But what does feel important is that we can genuinely say that we are sitting here today feeling immense gratitude for so many things and so many people and so many things that have happened to us,’ his wife said.
‘Gratitude has saved us,’ Justin concurred.
Baldoni said he and his wife hadn’t spoken publicly for ‘the better part of the last two years’ because ‘it just felt like every time we went to make a video like this where we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to. It just didn’t feel like the right time’
