Julia Fox picks a side in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal battle: ‘So inhumane’

Julia Fox has entered the chat.

The “Uncut Gems” actress picked a side between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively amid their legal drama over their 2024 film, “It Ends With Us.”

“I was very happy to hear the news about Blake Lively because I support women all the time,” she told the Daily Mail at the Tribeca Film Festival Monday, hours after news surfaced that a judge dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

“I support women when they’re right. I support women when they’re wrong. I support women when they’re likable, and when they’re unlikable, I support women that I have nothing in common with,” Fox, 35, added.

“I support women that I do have things in common with, and I’m going to support Blake.”

Fox said she has “been a victim of the internet,” so she relates to how the “Gossip Girl” alum has been treated.

“I have seen the way that people have just been so inhumane,” she told the outlet.

The mom of one told Daily Mail that she would never work with Baldoni and even if Lively’s claims against the director turn out to be baseless, Fox said the actress “still doesn’t deserve” the backlash she is getting from the public. 

“The punishment for women always outweighs the crime and we don’t even know if there was a crime,” Fox continued, adding that she wishes “people would just shut up until we have all the facts and just stop speculating.”

Though the “Down the Drain” author said she doesn’t personally know Lively, she wants the mom of four to know “that it might feel like the whole world is against you, but there are people that are rooting for you.”

“As someone who has been on the receiving end of so much online hate and trolls and nasty headlines and clickbait, I can sympathize and I know how isolating that feels,” Fox continued, calling it “so embarrassing.”

“You do one wrong thing as a woman and … it’s always immediately punishment, humiliation, shame,” she claimed.

Page Six has reached out to Baldoni for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Last December, Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, 41, accusing him of sexually harassing her on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

The “Jane the Virgin” alum denied Lively’s claims and, in January, filed a $400 million suit against her, Reynolds, 48, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, alleging defamation, extortion and more.

On Monday, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motion to dismiss Baldoni’s countersuit — as well as his $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times — because the suit “alleged that Reynolds and Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the ‘Times’ made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.”

The judge added: “The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the ‘Times’ would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.”

Liman is allowing Baldoni’s legal team until June 23 to amend their claims for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract.

Lively and Baldoni’s trial is slated to begin in March 2026.
