It Ends With Us Cast Member Sides With Baldoni After Settlement

When a legal settlement is reached, you’d think the dust would settle. But that’s not quite what’s happening in the It Ends With Us saga, where one cast member is making it clear that reaching a settlement doesn’t mean the hard feelings are done.

Adam Mondschein, who played the doctor in the film’s controversial birth scene, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday to set the record straight about where his loyalty lies. He didn’t hold back, accusing Blake Lively of hurting his friend Justin Baldoni throughout their explosive court battle.“I have very firm feelings about the actions that she took,”Mondschein said.“She hurt my friend and has been hurting my friend.”Morgan, clearly on the same page, offered his own take:“I don’t have a shred of sympathy. I think this is entirely self-inflicted.”

The comments come just days after Lively and Baldoni reached a settlement in their bitter legal fight, avoiding what was shaping up to be a massive courtroom showdown in New York. Still, Lively’s attorneys were careful to preserve her right to pursue one remaining claim against Baldoni and his team for having filed a defamation suit against her. It’s a detail that signals this feud might not be truly finished, despite the settlement.

What’s particularly interesting is Mondschein’s own complicated take on the whole mess. He spoke with Baldoni after the settlement was reached and painted a picture of a man overwhelmed by the toll the public battle took on his family and reputation. Yet even as he was firmly in Baldoni’s corner, Mondschein surprised everyone by admitting he ultimately feels sympathy for Blake too.“I feel sorry for her, ultimately. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be inside of her mind,”he said.

That’s the real story here—not that sides are being taken, but that a legal settlement apparently changes nothing about the emotional wreckage left behind. The courtroom drama may be nearing its end, but for the people caught in the middle of this Hollywood collision, the damage is far from resolved.
