‘It Ends With Us’ Director Justin Baldoni Sends A Message To Survivors Of Domestic Violence

Buy Me A Coffee

So, in today’s heart-melting news, Justin Baldoni (yes, that tall drink of water you remember from Jane the Virgin) decided to drop some wisdom bombs about domestic violence survivors. And no, he didnโ€™t do it by skywriting or hiring a flash mob. He went for the classy option: an Instagram post. Because who needs pigeons when you have Wi-Fi, right?

On Friday (aka, the unofficial holiday of “Thank God Itโ€™s Almost the Weekend”), the 40-year-old director of It Ends With Us โ€” yes, the one where he also acts alongside Blake Lively, proving that some people are just unfairly talented โ€” penned a love letter to survivors of domestic violence. Now, if you thought this post was going to be anything less than poetic, think again. Justin didnโ€™t just dip his toe into the inspiration pool; he cannonballed in like an emotional lifeguard.

โ€œDear Survivor,โ€ Justin started, because apparently, the man writes like he’s hosting a heartfelt reality TV show. โ€œYouโ€™re basically the embodiment of a phoenix that moonlights as a unicorn, wrapped in the wisdom of a thousand therapists. Youโ€™ve got resilience and courage coming out of your ears, which, letโ€™s face it, makes you a superhero in a world full of sidekicks.โ€

But wait, thereโ€™s more! He went on to paint a mental tapestry. (Yes, a tapestry, because plain olโ€™ words are for amateurs.) โ€œYour life is like a beautiful hand-woven blanket of survival, with threads made of pure strength, hope, and maybe a dash of stubbornness (because, hey, itโ€™s necessary). Each step you take forward is like leveling up in a video game, except instead of collecting coins, youโ€™re collecting admiration from everyone who knows what a boss you are.โ€ ๐ŸŽฎโœจ

Justin then laid down the truth with more precision than a motivational speaker who just had a double espresso. โ€œYou might not always realize it, but your journey is like one of those glow-in-the-dark stars you put on the ceiling as a kidโ€”it shines, and it helps others find their way. While Iโ€™m over here trying to string together words that will never quite capture what youโ€™ve gone through, just know youโ€™re not fighting alone. Weโ€™ve got your back, like a squad of emotional ninjas. And let me tell you, youโ€™re not just surviving; youโ€™re thriving, like a houseplant that has finally figured out its sunlight situation. In your thriving, you basically inspire us all to get it together.โ€

Oh, and he didnโ€™t forget the warm and fuzzy closer: โ€œAs you move forward, may your days be filled with Zen-like peace and occasional naps. And just remember: every time you fight for joy, youโ€™re freeing all of us from the chains of bad vibes. Sending you virtual high-fives, strength, and the kind of love that makes you tear up at cheesy commercials. ๐Ÿ’œโ€

Mic drop.

To make sure everyone knew he was serious, Justin tagged some awesome organizations like NO MORE and Survivor Love Letter, because supporting survivors > spreading rumors (we’ll get to that later).

Now, you might be wondering, โ€œWait, whatโ€™s up with Justin and Blake?โ€ Oh, just a casual whirlwind of rumors about drama and tension behind the scenes of the movie. Maybe itโ€™s because Blake Lively is known for serving side-eye with a smile, or maybe itโ€™s just people needing to spice up their gossip game. Either way, weโ€™ll let the tabloids sort that out while Justin keeps doing his superhero thing, cape or no cape.
