Jameela Jamil has emerged as a notable figure in the unfolding Jameela Jamil Blake Lively drama after her private text messages about the tensions surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were made public in January 2025. These messages, exchanged in August 2024, reveal Jamil’s harsh criticism of Lively amid the ongoing legal dispute related to the production of It Ends With Us.
Leaked Messages Reveal Harsh Critiques of Blake Lively
Court records obtained by Us Weekly expose messages between Jamil and Baldoni’s publicist Jennifer Abel, displaying a deep disdain for Lively. Abel referred to Lively using derogatory terms, and Jamil responded sharply by calling her a “suicide bomber.” The hostile exchanges continued as they discussed allegations about Baldoni’s conduct on set.
I want to officially incorporate nightmare c*** and demon c*** into my vocabulary; UNBELIEVABLE; She’s doing this to herself,
Jennifer Abel wrote, with Jamil replying,
She’s a suicide bomber at this point.
The pair also debated claims regarding Baldoni’s behavior, with Jamil remarking,
At least borderline abusive is out there so she can’t go in with predator,
highlighting the complexity of the accusations faced by the actor.
Public Reactions and Behind-the-Scenes Drama
Following Blake Lively’s public post linking to a domestic violence hotline, Jamil and Abel continued their disparaging commentary. Abel suggested having Baldoni share the hotline link with a “wink emoji,” to which Jamil replied emphatically to keep him away from Lively, saying,
Ahahaha no keep him away from her; keep him silence; Keep him in Sweden.
The two appeared united in their distaste for Lively’s actions, labeling her conduct as a “bizarre villain” act within their private communications. Us Weekly has reached out to Jamil for her response to the revelations in the unsealed texts.
Legal Battle Between Lively and Baldoni Intensifies
The personal conflict between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni escalated into a public legal battle after Lively filed a lawsuit in December 2024. She accused Baldoni, who directed It Ends With Us, of sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment, and inflicting severe emotional distress during the film’s production.
In a statement to The New York Times, Lively expressed her hope that her legal action would expose “sinister retaliatory tactics” used to silence those who report misconduct, aiming to protect others from similar treatment.
I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.

Meanwhile, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman denounced Lively’s allegations as
completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious,
suggesting the lawsuit was an attempt to repair her image and revisit negative narratives about the film’s production, on which she also served as a producer.
Claims and Counterclaims During Filming
Freedman claimed that Lively made multiple demands during the filming process, including threats to stop attending the set and promote the movie, which he said hurt the film’s release. The legal confrontation intensified when Baldoni filed a countersuit, although this was later dismissed by a judge.
Threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.

Upcoming Trial and Support Among Cast and Crew
The trial between Lively and Baldoni is scheduled for May 2025, and newly unsealed documents reveal that Lively has backing from several co-stars and the author of It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover. Lively shared messages defending herself against Baldoni’s attacks and emphasized her focus on the project despite the conflicts.
I literally don’t know a single thing I’ve done that he can smear me about. Ryan says he should be writing me apology and thank you letters every day. And instead he chooses to make a monster outta me,
Lively wrote, adding,
But what’s my crime. I’ve only ever stayed focused on the work and given him EVERY opportunity to make it better. And he just keeps behaving like a rabid pig.
Hoover expressed sympathy for Baldoni but noted his lack of remorse while praising Lively’s dedication to improving the film.
I can guarantee you he hasn’t felt an ounce of guilt. He’s too busy playing victim while you work your ass off to make a better movie that he gets credit for.
