Lively had previously filed lawsuits against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and emotional distress, while Baldoni countersued for defamation. The voicemail reveals Baldoni expressing regret and acknowledging Lively’s dedication to her work, signaling a possible resolution to their professional dispute.
