Justin Baldoni awkwardly mingles with fans at Disneyland

Justin Baldoni was spotted at Disneyland’s California Adventure over the weekend, where a run-in with fans quickly went viral.

One fan, Carmen, was filming when Baldoni caught her in the act—so he walked over and said hello. 

The actor from It Ends With Us was friendly, but he seemed a bit uncomfortable when engaging with fans, as shown in the popular video.

Carmen, thrilled to meet the Jane the Virgin alum, 41, admitted she felt a little guilty that her video may have tipped off the crowd—suddenly, everyone was approaching him. 

In another TikTok video, Baldoni was seen strolling through the park wearing a Star Wars T-shirt, aviator sunglasses, and sporting slightly overgrown hair with a full beard.

The Disneyland sighting comes as Baldoni is still embroiled in a legal battle with Blake Lively.

The lawsuit that Baldoni filed against the 37-year-old actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist was dismissed by a judge earlier this month, but Baldoni was left with the option to amend some of the complaints in the lawsuit to refile it.

But on Tuesday, his attorney Bryan Freedman announced that Baldoni would not be amending any of his complaints in the tossed-out lawsuit.

In statement to DailyMail.com, Freedman said: ‘The Court’s decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth that there was no harassment nor any smear campaign, and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively’s claims.

‘Discovery is proceeding and we are confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations,’ he continued. ‘Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options that are available to us.’

Despite her initial legal win when Baldoni’s lawsuit was dismissed, Lively hasn’t been letting up on her own lawsuit, and she recently sent out a bevy of new subpoenas. 

A spokesperson for Lively also responded to the news that Baldoni was stepping back from his failed attempt to countersue her in a statement to DailyMail.com.

‘The Court dismissed the frivolous $400 million Baldoni–Wayfarer lawsuit in its entirety,’ they said.

‘In the days that followed, Baldoni’s lawyer said the judge’s decision to dismiss their case was not a big deal as they promised to amend and refile it. 

‘As per usual, that was not true,’ her spokesperson continued. ‘The Court’s dismissal of Baldoni’s sham lawsuit was a total victory after all.’

Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni’s lawsuit two weeks ago, but he left the Jane The Virgin star a second opportunity to amend the suit by June 23.

However, the judge ruled that he could only amend the allegations ‘relevant to the claims of tortious interference with contract and breach of implied covenant.’

The 132-page opinion broke down why the allegations in Baldoni’s lawsuit were without merit, including the accusation that Lively, her husband and her publicist Leslie Sloane engaged in ‘civil extortion.’

‘The Wayfarer Parties cannot recover for Lively’s alleged actions to steal creative control of the film from Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties. 

‘Regardless of the propriety of these actions, they do not constitute civil extortion under California law,’ the judge said. 

‘California courts have recognized claim for civil extortion in situations where a plaintiff gives a defendant money or property under threat and seeks to have it returned.

‘However, the Wayfarer Parties have not adequately alleged that Lively’s threats were wrongful extortion rather than legally permissible hard bargaining or renegotiation of working conditions.

 ‘Additionally, the Wayfarer Parties have not shown that some of Lively’s allegedly extortionate acts damaged them.’

When summarizing the extortion claim, the judge wrote: ‘Lively, Sloane, and Reynolds have the better of the argument.’

The judge also denied requests from Reynolds, Sloane and Vision PR for an award of attorney’s fees and costs, in addition to a request from Lively for an award of attorney’s fees, treble damages and punitive damages.

The above motions were denied without prejudice in accordance with the ruling.

Wayfarer Studios was founded by Baldoni and billionaire businessman Steve Sarowitz in 2019.
