Whitney Cummings Criticizes Justin Baldoni while Defending Blake Lively’s ‘It Ends With Us’ Controversy

The co-creator of “2 Broke Girls” went on a passionate five-minute rant directed at Baldoni, who has been making headlines recently for allegedly trying to harm his “It Ends with Us” co-star’s reputation through a smear campaign.

To borrow a phrase from the legendary RuPaul, “The library is open!”

Cummings would set TikTok ablaze on Friday evening with a fiery rant about Baldoni that tackled everything from his looks to his supposed passions.

Addressing the audience, the comedian shared, “Many people are asking me, ‘Justin Baldoni – what’s your take on this? Did you have any prior knowledge of him before this?'” as she displayed a picture of the “It Ends with Us” director on the screen.

“No, I didn’t know this person,” Cummings continued, “because I don’t follow people’s behavior if they look like this.”

And with that, the gloves were off.

After comparing the actor to “Criss Angel at Burning Man,” the “Whitney” star called out Baldoni’s repeated claims of being a proud feminist.

“I don’t like when guys… try to get points for being a feminist of an ally,” she noted. “When guys fight for women’s rights, it’s how they get laid!”

She then pointed out Baldoni’s active involvement in charitable work supporting equality and women’s rights, stating, “If I were a bad person, what would be the first thing I’d do? Probably not start a charity,” while acknowledging his contributions to these important causes.

“Free the nipple and normalize breastfeeding,” Cummings said, with a capture of the charity’s supposed objective being shown.

Brace yourself, readers, for she was just getting started.

Cummings soon pushes on with the Baldoni bashing by attacking his book to better young boys’ behavior, “Boys Will Be Human,” released in 2022.

“This is, like, a sociopath’s idea of what the world needs,” she states while holding up an image of the book.

Afterward, she pulls up another image of Baldoni – this time, rocking a man bun – and likens him to another unsavory entertainer.

“Why does he look like Russell Brand if [Brand] went to Kylie [Jenner’s] face guy,” she asks with a chuckle.

The rest of Cummings’ rant would follow in this vein, with rhetorical questions themed on assumptions of how he treats women, specifically ones on the set of his movies – such as Lively and “It Ends with Us.”

“Justin Baldoni is totally the guy who’s like, ‘You look so much prettier without makeup,” Cummings purported, “unless you’re starring in the movie I’m directing – in which case, you need to wear caulk [and] be in makeup for two-and-a-half hours.”

Following a few more queries, Cummings shares one last speculation on how Baldoni may ultimately address the claims against him.

“Why do I feel like in Justin Baldoni’s notes app apology, he’s [going to blame] internalized misogyny, being too sensitive, and being in ketosis?”

And with that, as RuPaul would say, “The library is now closed.”

Cummings had much to offer on the Baldoni/Lively situation, but it was not her first time speaking on the alleged matter.

In another TikTok post from earlier in the week, she expressed being “less than shocked” about the supposed matter, connecting it with Hollywood history and the story of the late Shirley Temple.

“Hollywood is a business,” she would note, “[which] was built on the back of a three-year-old toddler.”

Cummings would explain that the young actress was often subjected to working in adult settings without supervision, which led to misogyny and abuse running rampant without punishment. As time progressed, nothing improved for women, ultimately culminating in situations similar to what Lively was said to have suffered.

“Cut to grown men showing grown women naked photos or talking about their p-rn addiction,” Cummings said, directly relaying claims made by Lively in her legal action against Baldoni.

Per The Blast, lawyers for Baldoni have called Lively’s claims “dubious,” noting that what has been shared publicly by the actress via a stunning New York Times expose “lack[s] critical content.”

Inversely, Lively has received waves of support from Colleen Hoover, the writer of the novel, “It Ends with Us,” several co-stars from Lively’s past and current projects, and even her brother-in-law, actor Bart Johnson of “High School Musical” fame.
