Blake Lively's brother-in-law apologizes to Justin Baldoni in shocking twist amid $400M lawsuit

Blake Lively's brother-in-law made a shock apology to Justin Baldoni amid their  explosive legal feud, after she sued her It Ends with Us costar for sexual harassment. 

On Tuesday, Bart Johnson, who is married to Lively's sister Robyn Lively, took to X (previously known as Twitter) to express remorse over his since-deleted posts on social media, in which he called Baldoni a 'fraud' and criticized his appearance. 

'Anytime I’ve said anything unkind about someone I’ve regretted it. Fortunately that’s almost never and definitely not when I’m at my best,' he tweeted. 'Regardless if it’s true or not, if it’s my opinion, even if I’m trying to speak truth or stand up for someone, it’s never good.'

Johnson continued: 'Even in times where it might 'feel' justified and doing the right thing, it makes no difference. There’s a better way. It’s below the standard I have for myself and I regret it.' 

The High School Musical star was referring to his post, captured by USA Today, that accuses Baldoni of putting 'on the costume of a hero, man bun and all' and using 'trendy catchphrases & buzz words for his podcasts.'

'None of it’s genuine. It’s all theater. And everyone fell for it. For years,' Johnson said of Baldoni's reputation of being a feminist and proud ally to women.
