00:15Justin Baldoni's friend of 20 years, Adam Monshine, went on Piers Morgan Uncensored to defend Baldoni, and to throw not
00:22-so-subtle shade at Blake Lively.
00:24This comes just days after the former It Ends With Us co-stars reached a settlement,
00:29in their nasty, years-long lawsuit. Monshine, who acted in the 2024 film as a doctor,
00:35had been named in Lively's sexual harassment suit. During the delivery scene, she claimed his
00:41face and hands were close to her when she was nearly nude, calling it invasive and humiliating.
00:47However, Monshine disputed her account in a statement last year, saying her costume was
00:52actually a full hospital gown, black shorts, and a torso-covering prosthetic.
00:57Now on Piers, Monshine is doubling down on his version of events, calling Lively's claims insulting.
01:04It's kind of laughable that that should end up in court documents, isn't it?
01:09Insulting. And the irony is that I was so far away that she would have had to shoot the baby
01:15at velocity for me to catch. That's how far away I was in reality.
01:21Monshine added that he was actually very excited to testify, and he's now, quote,
01:26a little bummed there won't be a trial. The civil trial was scheduled to begin with jury selection
01:31on May 18th in New York City. But then on Monday, May 4th, Baldoni and Lively quietly reached a
01:37settlement, just minutes before she arrived at the Met Gala, where her reputation followed her.
01:43Social media users debated whether this interaction with her red carpet entourage
01:47was bossy or like a boss. Page Six Hollywood reports that their dragged-out legal battle
01:52cost the pair a staggering $60 million in lawyer fees. Meanwhile, neither Baldoni nor Lively
01:58walked away with any money in the deal.
