Jamil mocked Lively sharing a 'tone-deaf' TikTok video promoting 'It Ends With Us.'

The group chat reportedly included Jamil accusing the Gossip Girl alum of posting a "tone-deaf" TikTok video promoting her and Baldoni's film.

"I want to officially incorporate nightmare c--- and demon c--- into my vocabulary; UNBELIEVABLE; She's doing this to herself," Abel wrote in a text message, to which Jamil replied, "She's a suicide bomber at this point."

Abel also slammed Lively for posting the domestic abuse hotline on her social media.

Jamil told Baldoni's publicist to 'keep him away' from Lively.

"Did you see Blake post the survivors link?" Abel asked Jamil while referring to Lively's post as "so cold."

"Dead," replied Jamil, who called Lively's share "so sick."

When Abel jokingly suggested she have Baldoni share the same link, Jamil strongly objected.

The Good Place actress recommended the publicist "keep him away from her" and "keep him silent."

Lively sued Baldoni for harassment and accused him of launching a smear campaign against her in December 2024.

"I’ve never seen such a bizarre villain act before," Jamil added of Lively. "She's over over."

Abel agreed before sharing she hates Lively "so much."

The snarky texts between Abel and Jamil surfaced one day after alleged text messages between Lively and Ben Affleck were leaked.

"I've just come out the other side (well almost) of the most upsetting experience I’ve ever had on a movie," Lively wrote to the Oscar winner. "The making of doc of this film would be more interesting than the movie could ever be. It's like if Wild Wild Country, Fyre Festival and Going Clear had a baby with The RoomRoom also works though."

"Anyway, I ended up rewriting and restructuring the entire script, I also ended up having to direct the movie via the chaotic clown 'director'/actor/producer/financier/studio head at the center. Yes, that’s all the same person," she added.

Lively further claimed those who worked under Baldoni were "in a cult," as she alleged to have experienced "wild HR issues."

"Anyway, now I'm in a bake-off with him in the edit. He's been editing since, I kid you not, July, and they gave me 10 days to do my own pass," she continued. "We have a bake-off in 12 days. But I have a friends and family preview in NY on Saturday in the meantime so I can get one round of notes or feedback before we duke it out."

Months after Abel and Jamil's conversation, Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024.

She alleged the director launched a smear campaign against her, which Baldoni denied. He and his company, Wayfarer Studios, filed a $400million against the actress in January 2025 and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
