Liman tossed out most of Lively\u2019s claims this year, including claims of harassment, defamation and conspiracy. Liman ruled that Lively could not pursue those claims under federal civil rights law in part because she was an independent contractor, not an employee.<\/p><p>Liman let three other claims stand: breach of contract, retaliation and aiding and abetting in retaliation. The two parties reached a settlement in May before their expected trial was set to begin.<\/p><div><\/div><p>Lively\u2019s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday\u2019s video.<\/p><p>Baldoni did not mention Lively, the film or the legal battle in the video, which is almost five minutes long. Instead, they referred to the dispute\u2019s impact on their lives. <\/p><p>\u201cWhat I will say is that there have been so many painful things that have been spoken to existence &#8230; over the last couple years,\u201d Justin Baldoni said. \u201cAnd that created so much noise, and we didn\u2019t want to add to the noise, so we just wanted to let the justice system run its course.\u201d<\/p><p>Emily Baldoni added, \u201cThe truth and the facts have spoken for themselves, and here we are.\u201d   <\/p><section><div><div><div><div><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DajZGpGx7dh\/?hl=en\" src=\"\/\/iframe.nbcnews.com\/LacmfYyU?_showcaption=true&amp;app=1\" title=\"Instagram, Justin Baldoni on Instagram\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><p>Emily Baldoni said the gratitude the couple has felt \u201cdoesn\u2019t negate the injustice and the pain that we have also felt in the last few years.\u201d<\/p><p>Their family \u201chad to wrestle with so many things and try to understand so many things, like how could something like this even happen, let alone disguised as a fight for women,\u201d she said.<\/p><div><\/div><p>Lively went public with her allegations in December 2024, roughly four months after their film premiered in theaters.

He now reportedly lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his family. <\/p><p>Before his latest video, Baldoni hadn\u2019t posted on Instagram since June 2025, when he celebrated his anniversary with his wife.
