In the nearly five-minute video, the couple reflected on the difficult two years since the legal battle began. Revealing why he chose to speak, Justin said: “It was like every time we went to make a video like this, we wanted to speak, something was telling us not to do it.” It just didn’t feel like the right time, and we were talking about it and hearing it and praying about it. “While admitting that the case hurt her, she added, “We’re healing. And if you’ve ever been through something, you know that healing isn’t the same. It looks different every day.”Coule also made sure to thank the fans and supporters who stood by. Baldoni said, “There were many of you, who, when we didn’t have a voice, you had our voice… Thank you, you don’t hear enough.”

The couple’s latest comments have also fueled interest and responses from ‘It Ends With Us’ co-stars and cast members, including Jenny Slate and Brandon Sklenar, who have publicly announced their support for Blake. Slate said she stood by Lively “as a leader, a trusted friend and a reliable source of inspiration,” while Sklenar urged fans to read Lively’s complaint and avoid “shaming the women” involved in the film.However, in the following months of court proceedings, dismissal of several claims, lawsuits and the final ‘settlement’, neither Slate nor Sklenar, nor those involved in the production of ‘It Ends With Us’ have said anything or commented on the outcome.“Where are Blake Lively’s dragons, allies from the gossip girl, another simple grace. Even Brandon Sklenar, Jenny, Isabela. Blake has been facing problems with costars for a very long time, especially those with leading roles and if he is a man, he could be in a relationship with them,” read the tweet.
