Jameela Jamil is continuous to reflect on the “epic fallout” of her texts about Blake Full of life being leaked amid the It Ends With Us legal drama.
Jamil, 39, reflected on being “embroiled inside” the “controversy” in a Substack post shared Sunday, January 25, giving readers a transient summary of the events.
“Briefly, I slagged off an actor in private, over their diabolical press tour in August 2024, after which the phone of the person I used to be texting got taken, and its contents were handed over to a 3rd party, which unfortunately, but classically, resulted in my texts being seen by the precise person I used to be slagging off … (lol)!” she wrote. “4 months later, that person filed a lawsuit (not as lol), that involved the person I had been texting (because in fact)… and for some reason, a yr later, my texts were released, despite having little to no relevance to the case, with my name unredacted, to your entire world.”
The actress admitted she “braced for canopy” after the messages were made public, recognizing that she was “about to eat s***” for her comments.
“And I absolutely did. 24 hours of death threats, numerous accusations of not being an actual feminist, numerous encouragement for me to kill myself,” she claimed. “It was heavy.”
Jamil’s texts were uncovered in court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 21, as Full of life’s lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni continues. While speaking with Baldoni’s publicist Jennifer Abel, Jamil referred to Full of life, 38, as a “suicide bomber” and a “villain.”

In a video shared via TikTok on Friday, January 24, Jamil broke down the “timing” of her messages, explaining that her texts were sent in August 2024 — months before Full of life filed her lawsuit against Baldoni, 41, in December 2024. (Full of life accused Baldoni of harassment on set of It Ends With Us and alleged he attempted to destroy her repute. He has continued to disclaim the claims.)
“Once I made the above video highlighting the timeline and context of the texts in query … Everyone took a breath,” Jamil wrote on Sunday. “They checked the texts again. Suddenly, the waves calmed, pulled back this ocean of hate, and swelled all of it up right into a tsunami of solidarity. … My moment of disgrace, morphed right into a mirror for everybody, of who any of us really are when only our closest friends are watching. And for a lot of us, that person is an absolute s*** bag.”
Jamil admitted that it’s not at all times possible to say the fitting things in moments of “hurt,” noting, “Sometimes we just need to say the unsayable … We would like to shock. We need to make someone laugh. We would like to bite back. We would like to be the smaller man. We would like violence. We would like vengeance. We would like to feel superior for a minute. It’s not at all times that deep. We’re all just overgrown toddlers with bad knees and taxes.”
The Good Place alum also admitted that she feels “conflicted” in regards to the price of authenticity, particularly for girls in the general public eye.
Justin Baldoni’s private text messages have been released amid his ongoing legal battle against his It Ends With Us costar Blake Full of life. In accordance with court documents unsealed on Tuesday, January 20, Baldoni, 41, sent messages to Full of life about their collaboration on It Ends With Us and spoke in regards to the behind-the-scenes drama to others. As well as […]
“While I HATE that my privacy was invaded by my texts being unredacted and leaked … I even have to say … I feel a way of liberation from it. Not only because I’m at all times attempting to cannonball/belly flop off the pedestal I get continuously thrust upon for just giving a s***. But in addition, because we want to see more examples of how women talk with their girlfriends when their girlfriends are hurting,” Jamil wrote, calling herself “the friend who holds a grudge for 20 years against whoever makes you cry, even when you will have forgiven them.”
Jamil added that girls often “ride at dawn for one another,” irrespective of the results. “Society doesn’t allow us to be ugly in any way, anyhow or anywhere. Inside our tight little circles is our only outlet,” she continued. “We don’t need to smile or be palatable, or reasonable or appealing. You possibly can just be crazy and unattractive and witnessed and toothless and accepted. It’s such a relief. … Misbehaving is how I’ve learned almost all the pieces invaluable on this life, and who my real individuals are.”
Jamil concluded by saying that she supports the thought of being “a eternally work in progress,” reminding readers, “I consider you may have the remainder of your life to learn. I believe you need to be striving for a private best, and nothing more.”
Full of life, for her part, has not publicly addressed Jamil’s messages after they were released. A source told Us earlier this month, nevertheless, “It’s disappointing that as an alternative of listening to women once they speak out other women call them names and discredit them in defense of a fake male feminist.”
Full of life and Baldoni are expected to start trial in May.
