Scarlett Johansson has finally shared her thoughts on the high-profile legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, calling the situation \u201csuch weird timing\u201d as her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great<\/em>, prepares for release.<\/p>\n

Although Johansson is not directly involved in the lawsuit, her film is produced with support from Wayfarer Studios, a company co-founded by Baldoni, which is currently entangled in the It Ends With Us<\/em> controversy. In a recent Vanity Fair interview published on May 14, Johansson acknowledged the connection but emphasized her positive experience working with the studio. She said, \u201cThey were super supportive throughout the process. But yeah, such weird timing,\u201d referencing the ongoing lawsuit. The film, also backed by Sony Pictures Classics, is set to premiere later this year.<\/p>\n

In related news, Steve Sarowitz, Baldoni\u2019s producing partner and an influential figure in the organization, announced on May 2 via Instagram that the Wayfarer Foundation will be shutting down. He explained, \u201cUpon unanimous decision of the board of directors, today we will begin the process of sunsetting the Foundation.\u201d Sarowitz reassured that all current grant commitments would be fulfilled and that the winding down of operations will be handled thoughtfully.<\/p>\n

Baldoni, 41, was a founding board member of the Wayfarer Foundation, which focused on advancing humanity spiritually and promoting peaceful world civilization by supporting nonprofits with spiritual and justice-oriented missions.<\/p>\n

Background on the It Ends With Us<\/em> Legal Drama:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several months after the release of It Ends With Us<\/em>, Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni accusing him of sexual harassment and \u201csocial manipulation\u201d intended to damage her reputation. Baldoni responded with a countersuit accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of defamation. The case has drawn public attention with multiple statements, text exchanges, and court documents emerging.<\/p>\n

The trial is scheduled to begin in March 2026, and there is speculation that notable figures such as Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman could be called to testify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
