Jameela Jamil<\/strong><\/a> is continuing to reflect on the \u201cepic fallout\u201d of her texts about Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a> being leaked amid the It Ends With Us<\/em> legal drama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jamil, 39, reflected on being \u201cembroiled within\u201d the \u201ccontroversy\u201d in a Substack<\/a> post shared Sunday, January 25, giving readers a brief summary of the events.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn short, I slagged off an actor in private, over their diabolical press tour in August 2024, and then the phone of the person I was texting got taken, and its contents were handed over to a third party, which unfortunately, but classically, resulted in my texts being seen by the exact person I was slagging off \u2026 (lol)!\u201d she wrote. \u201cFour months later, that person filed a lawsuit (not as lol), that involved the person I had been texting (because of course)\u2026 and for some reason, a year later, my texts were released, in spite of having little to no relevance to the case, with my name unredacted, to the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress admitted she \u201cbraced for cover\u201d after the messages were made public, recognizing that she was \u201cabout to eat s***\u201d for her comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I absolutely did. 24 hours of death threats, lots of accusations of not being a real feminist, lots of encouragement for me to kill myself,\u201d she claimed. \u201cIt was heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamil\u2019s texts were uncovered in court documents<\/a> obtained by Us Weekly<\/em> on Wednesday, January 21, as Lively\u2019s lawsuit against It Ends With Us<\/em> director and costar Justin Baldoni<\/strong> continues. While speaking with Baldoni\u2019s publicist Jennifer Abel<\/strong>, Jamil referred to Lively, 38, as a \u201csuicide bomber\u201d and a \u201cvillain.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

In a video shared via TikTok on Friday, January 24, Jamil broke down the \u201ctiming\u201d of her messages,<\/a> explaining that her texts were sent in August 2024 \u2014 months before Lively filed her lawsuit<\/a> against Baldoni, 41, in December 2024. (Lively accused Baldoni of harassment on set of It Ends With Us<\/em> and alleged he attempted to destroy her reputation. He has continued to deny the claims.)<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I made the above video highlighting the timeline and context of the texts in question \u2026 Everyone took a breath,\u201d Jamil wrote on Sunday. \u201cThey checked the texts again. Suddenly, the waves calmed, pulled back this ocean of hate, and swelled it all up into a tsunami of solidarity. \u2026 My moment of disgrace, morphed into a mirror for everyone, of who any of us really are when only our closest friends are watching. And for many of us, that person is an absolute s*** bag.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamil admitted that it\u2019s not always possible to say the right things in moments of \u201churt,\u201d noting, \u201cSometimes we just want to say the unsayable \u2026 We want to shock. We want to make someone laugh. We want to bite back. We want to be the smaller man. We want violence. We want vengeance. We want to feel superior for a minute. It\u2019s not always that deep. We are all just overgrown toddlers with bad knees and taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Good Place<\/em> alum also admitted that she feels \u201cconflicted\u201d about the price of authenticity, particularly for women in the public eye.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tJustin Baldoni\u2019s private text messages have been released amid his ongoing legal battle against his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively. According to court documents unsealed on Tuesday, January 20, Baldoni, 41, sent messages to Lively about their collaboration on It Ends With Us and spoke about the behind-the-scenes drama to others. In addition [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhile I HATE that my privacy was invaded by my texts being unredacted and leaked \u2026 I have to say \u2026 I feel a sense of liberation from it. Not only because I am always trying to cannonball\/belly flop off the pedestal I get frequently thrust upon for just giving a s***. But also, because we need to see more examples of how women talk with their girlfriends when their girlfriends are hurting,\u201d Jamil wrote, calling herself \u201cthe friend who holds a grudge for 20 years against whoever makes you cry, even if you have forgiven them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamil added that women often \u201cride at dawn for each other,\u201d no matter the consequences. \u201cSociety doesn\u2019t allow us to be ugly in any way, anyhow or anywhere. Within our tight little circles is our only outlet,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe don\u2019t have to smile or be palatable, or reasonable or appealing. You can just be crazy and unattractive and witnessed and toothless and accepted. It\u2019s such a relief. \u2026 Misbehaving is how I\u2019ve learned almost everything valuable in this life, and who my real people are.\u201d<\/p>\n
