Justin Baldoni cries and admits he ‘had an intense year’ in emotional interview to air amid Blake Lively legal battle

Baldoni sat down with Samir Mourani -- host of the "Gent's Talk" podcast -- for an emotional face-to-face, recorded a month prior to Lively's first court filing accusing the "It Ends With Us" actor-director of sexual harassment and publicly smearing her name. As you know, Lively starred with Baldoni in the film.

“This morning I sent a text message. I had anxiety,” the “It Ends With Us” director and star says as the men’s self-help entertainer asks, “Why is that?”

“I haven’t talked about this yet, but,” Baldoni, 41, tearfully responds as the clip goes to black.
