Blake Lively branded a ‘suicide bomber’ and ‘villain’ by Jameela Jamil in Justin Baldoni battle
Jameela Jamil dubbed Blake Lively a “suicide bomber” and a “villain” in private texts to a publicist as the “Gossip Girl” star’s “It Ends With Us” drama with Justin Baldoni unfolded.
Jamil’s August 2024 text exchange with Baldoni’s publicist, Jennifer Abel, was included in a collection of correspondence in recently unsealed court documents, the Daily Mail reported.
The “Good Place” alum and PR strategist were reacting to a TikTok video about Lively’s allegedly “tone-deaf” promotion of the film. (Fans at the time pointed out that she was promoting her haircare line and talking about her fashion instead of the film’s serious theme of domestic violence.)

“I want to officially incorporate nightmare c–t and demon c–t into my vocabulary; UNBELIEVABLE; She’s doing this to herself,” Abel texted Jamil, who is also her client, about Lively, according to the filing.
Jamil, 39, curtly replied, “She’s a suicide bomber at this point.”
Abel went on to drag Lively’s reaction after she faced backlash surrounding the press tour. At the time, Lively claimed that her character was more than “just a victim,” adding that being a domestic violence survivor is not her character’s “identity.” She also posted a link to a domestic violence hotline.

“Did you see Blake post the survivors link?” Abel asked, to which Jamil replied, “Dead.”
Jamil called Lively’s post “so cold,” while Abel said it was “so sick.”
Abel then joked that she was thinking of having Baldoni share the same link, prompting Jamil to laugh and urge her to “keep [Baldoni] away from her” and to “keep him silent.”
Abel expressed that she hated Lively “so much,” to which Jamil agreed.
“I’ve never seen such a bizarre villain act before,” Jamil texted. “She’s Over over.”
A source close to the matter exclusively told Page Six Thursday that Jamil’s catty comments were “disappointing.”
“It’s disappointing that instead of listening to women when they speak out, other women call them names,” the insider said.

Abel, Jamil and Lively did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Jamil’s private note wasn’t the only controversial exchange to surface amid Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni.
Page Six obtained texts between Lively and Taylor Swift from 2024 that revealed the pop star felt distant from her friend amid the Baldoni feud.
Lively texted Swift to check in and ask if “everything is good” between them, writing, “I know how busy and taxed you are – physically, emotionally, practically, so I don’t expect any more from you ever. Just want to make sure all is good.”
“No you’re not wrong, but it’s also not a big deal,” Swift replied, before accusing Lively of texting her as if she was “reading a mass corporate email sent to 200 employees.”

Swift said she felt “distanced” from Lively and “a little bit of a shift” in their dynamic.
“So you’re feeling like you have to overly explain things or be overly nice or whatever but. It’s me! That’s just caused a little distance!” Swift explained.
Lively went on to apologize to Swift and explained that she is paranoid her text messages will become public.
Swift also told the “Blake Brown” founder that Baldoni was a “bitch” with a “tiny violin.”
Lively and Baldoni started feuding after co-starring in the 2024 movie.

Sources told Page Six that Swift has not had contact with Lively since around the time of the exchange.
Rumors that Lively and Baldoni were feuding started swirling in August 2024 after the movie premiered in New York City.
Four months later, Lively, 38, sued Baldoni, 41, for allegedly sexually harassing her on set, which Baldoni has repeatedly denied.
