Comedian Whitney Cummings brutally roasts Justin Baldoni as he fights Blake Lively’s harassment lawsuit

Comedian Whitney Cummings took to her TikTok this week to share her cheeky take on Justin Baloni and Blake Lively’s legal drama.

Lively sued Baldoni last week, accusing him of sexually harassing her and creating a toxic work environment on the set of their film It Ends With Us, in which he both directed and acted with her. He has firmly denied the allegations.

In her complaint, Lively alleged that Baldoni worked to damage her reputation with a team that included his publicist Jennifer Abel and crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan, who previously worked with Johnny Depp. Abel has denied that he has waged a ‘smear campaign’.

The case has sparked a flurry of commentary since news of it broke last weekend – and now Cummings has thrown her hat into the ring.

She posted a TikTok video roasting Baldoni, mocking his “charitable energy” and decrying his public feminism as a ploy to “get laid.”

Cummings, 42, joked, “Why do I feel like Justin Baldoni’s Notes app apology blames internalized misogyny, being too sensitive, and being in ketosis?”

She focused on his appearance, showing photos taken of him when he had long, dark curly hair and a lush beard.

Calling him the “Criss Angel of Burning Man,” Cummings vamped, “I’ll call his agent on Monday and ask how many times Justin has subtly asked to play Jesus in a movie. I bet it’s about twelve.’

His feminist activism received particular scorn, especially his support for the movement to “normalize breastfeeding.”

‘I don’t like it when guys, especially symmetrical ones, try to get points for acting as a feminist or an ally. When men fight for women’s rights, that’s how they get laid,” the Good Mourning Actress said.

“Feminist men always have the same causes,” she noted, barely able to contain her hilarity: “freeing the nipple and normalizing breastfeeding.” “I, women, just think your breasts should be able to come out.”

She wondered aloud, “Does this man have a charity?” I feel like he has a great charitable energy, like a charitable energy for women’s equality. If I were a bad person, what would I do first? Start a good cause.’

Cummings found an online biography of Baldoni in which he described his support of “childhood cancer charities,” and joked, “The number one way to get laid? Support childhood cancer.’

She marveled, “Can Hollywood people just donate and participate without telling a publicist?” joking that the donations come with an agreement “that says if I donate to your charity, you have to announce it to everyone so that when I go to Coachella this year, I get all the girls with tattoos that say, ‘Breed.’

Lively sued Baldoni last week, accusing him of sexually harassing her and creating a toxic work environment on the set of their film It Ends With Us.

Cummings, 42, joked, “Why do I feel like Justin Baldoni’s Notes app apology blames internalized misogyny, being too sensitive, and being in ketosis?”

Grinning, she said, “Justin Baldoni is the kind of guy who says, ‘I’m going to the Slutwalk to advocate for these slut-shamed, and if I see a slut-shamed, I’ll invite her to my house, that’s a safe place for her to be a slut.”

She joked that he was the kind of person who complained about jet lag after a trip to England that took place two months earlier.

‘Justin Baldoni is totally the guy who says, ‘You look so much prettier without makeup – unless you’re starring in the movie I’m directing, in which case you have to wear sealant, grout, shellac, makeup wear for two and a half hours,” she said.

In the caption, Cummings wrote, “Roast of Justin Baldoni – that wasn’t my intention but I googled it and here we are. Also, I’m sure Blake Lively was fine in some junkets, but I honestly could have said all this before that movie was even made.”

During the run-up to the release of It Ends With Us, Lively repeatedly went viral as social media users criticized her “mean girl” behavior in interviews – a trend she now insists was the result of an “astroturfing” campaign waged by Baldoni’s PR team.

Since news of Lively’s lawsuit broke on Saturday, Baldoni’s career has imploded as he was dropped by his agency William Morris Endeavor.

Liz Plank, one of the co-hosts of Baldoni’s Man Enough podcast that billed itself as a space for “positive masculinity,” announced she was leaving the show.

Lively, who is married to Deadpool leader Ryan Reynolds and is close friends with pop superstar Taylor Swift, has seen former colleagues rally around her.

Her It Ends With Us co-stars Brandon Sklenar and Jenny Slate have spoken out in support of her, as has Colleen Hoover, author of the novel on which the film is based.
