Blake Lively’s ‘It Ends With Us’ Co-Star Responds To Her Claims In Justin Baldoni Lawsuit In New Statement Against Her: ‘She Never Complained’
April 12, 2025 by Julia DeKorte
Blake Lively continues to dig herself into a hole with her lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, as actors from the movie speak out against her. The latest comes from the actor who played Doctor Dunbar in the film, Adam Mondschein, who refuted nearly all of the allegations Blake launched against Justin during the birthing scene. Keep reading for more information.
"Her costume included a full hospital gown, black shorts and torso-covering prosthetic to make her appear pregnant in addition to whatever personal garments she chose," he described.
He added that Lively "never complained or expressed discomfort at any point because nothing unusual or improper occurred. It was entirely professional." He also pointed out that Lively's claims that he was Baldoni's friend and that's the only reason he got the job was "offensive."
"Lastly, I was, in fact, a local hire (my wife and I are from New York and spend significant time there). As such, I, like any actor accepting that contract, was required to cover my own travel and living expenses in connection with the job."
'It Ends With Us' Actor Refutes Blake's Claims
This week, however, the very actor that Lively was claiming to be Justin's best friend spoke out against her. Adam Mondschein, a New York local actor who has a masters in fine arts from UCLA, played the doctor helping deliver the baby, not only refuted Blake's claims, but said he is willing to testify against her.
"I'm not going to speculate as to Ms. Lively's motivations for mentioning me in the complaint," Mondschein said in a statement. "Needless to say, my experience working with her is very different than the one she described in her lawsuit. Indeed, I was surprised to read her description of the scene," he said.
