Jameela Jamil called Blake Lively a “suicide bomber” and a “villain” in a private letter to her publicist as drama unfolds on the drama “Seraph of the End,” in which the “Gossip Girl” star co-stars with Justin Baldoni.
An August 2024 text exchange between Jamil and Baldoni’s publicist Jennifer Abel was included in a collection of correspondence in recently unsealed court documents, the Daily Mail reported.
The Good Place alum and PR strategist was responding to Lively’s allegedly “tone-deaf” TikTok video promoting the film. (Fans at the time pointed out that she was talking about promoting hair products and fashion, rather than the film’s serious theme of domestic violence.)
“I want to officially incorporate nightmare c–t and devil c–t into my vocabulary. I can’t believe she’s doing this to herself,” Abel texted Jamil, who is also a client, about Lively, according to the filing.
Jamil, 39, replied curtly: “She’s a suicide bomber at this point.”
Abel continued to drag Lively’s response as she faced backlash over her press tour. At the time, Lively claimed that her character was more than “just a victim,” adding that being a victim of domestic violence was not her character’s “identity.” She also posted a link to a domestic violence hotline.
“Did you see Blake posted the survivor link?” Abel asked, to which Jamil replied, “Dead.”
Jamil called Lively’s post “so cold,” and Abel said it was “so disgusting.”
Abel also joked that he was thinking of making the same connection with Baldoni, making Jamil laugh and urging him to “keep[Baldoni]away from me” and “shut up.”
Abel said he hated Lively “very much,” and Jamil agreed.
Jamil sent a text message saying, “I’ve never seen such bizarre villain acting before.” “She’s done.”
A source close to the matter told Page Six exclusively on Thursday that Jamil’s unflattering comments were “unfortunate.”
“It’s unfortunate that when women raise their voices, they are not listened to and other women are badmouthing them,” the source said.
Abel, Jamil and Lively did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Jamil’s private notes weren’t the only controversial correspondence that surfaced during Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni.
Page Six obtained text messages between Lively and Taylor Swift in 2024 that reveal that Lively felt estranged from her friend during the Baldoni feud.
Lively texted Swift and asked if “everything is okay” between them, writing, “I know how busy and demanding you are physically, mentally and practically so I don’t expect anything less from you. I just want to make sure everything is okay.”
“No, you’re not wrong, but it’s not a big deal,” Swift responded, accusing Lively of texting her as if she were “reading a bunch of corporate emails sent to 200 employees.”
Swift said she felt “distanced” from Lively and that there was “a little bit of a shift” in their dynamic.
“So you feel like you have to over-explain or be over-nice. That’s me! It’s just caused a little bit of distance!” Swift explained.
Lively went on to apologize to Swift and explain that she was nervous about her text messages being made public.
Swift also told the “Blake Brown” founder that Baldoni was a “bitch” with a “little violin.”
A source told Page Six that Swift has not had any contact with Lively since the exchange.
Rumors that Lively and Baldoni were feuding began swirling in August 2024 after the film premiered in New York City.
Four months later, Lively, 38, accused Baldoni, 41, of sexually harassing her on set, a charge Baldoni repeatedly denied.
The “Jane the Virgin” star responded with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation. He also sued the New York Times for defamation after it reported on Lively’s lawsuit.
A judge dismissed both of Baldoni’s counterclaims this summer, but the legal battle against Lively and Baldoni continues.
