Baldoni has consistently denied the accusations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the filings, Wilson responded with concern after Baldoni said he felt \u201cambushed\u201d during the discussion. Moreover, Wilson told him he was \u201cstunned\u201d by the situation and encouraged him to focus on completing the film. He wrote, \u201cOh my God. I can\u2019t believe it. You were set up and ambushed and personally attacked. I\u2019m stunned. I completely relate to you being stunned, like a deer in the headlights.\u201d\u00a0(via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/rainn-wilson-text-messages-justin-baldoni-friend-blake-lively-11849115\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:PEOPLE;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">PEOPLE<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Office star further added, \u201cOnwards brother.

So sorry for what you went [through].\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wilson and Baldoni share a long friendship due to their mutual involvement in the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed faith and previous collaborations on podcasts and panel discussions. Their relationship dates back to at least 2016, when Baldoni appeared on Wilson\u2019s Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed Blogcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lively first sued Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of misconduct and retaliation. Baldoni then responded with counterclaims of extortion and defamation. However, those filings were dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman in June 2025. The dispute remains ongoing, with a trial scheduled for March 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1688608-justin-baldoni-rainn-wilson-the-office-blake-lively-case\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/11\/17\/justin-baldoni-rainn-wilson-the-office-blake-lively-case\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Justin Baldoni Reportedly Gets Support From This Office Star;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Justin Baldoni Reportedly Gets Support From This Office Star<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rainn Wilson, of The Office fame, privately supported Justin Baldoni amid his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively, per a newly surfaced report.
