You really are a talent across the board.
Really excited nd [sic] grateful to do this together.
He also apologized in the voice note overLivelys disappointmentat his seemingly lukewarm response to her changes.

The message could not have been clearer.
Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively.
Damn right, you got great friends.
If thats how you felt and they knew that.
Fk, he said in the audio.
The three of you guys together is unbelievable.
All three of you.
Damn right, you got great friends.
If thats how you felt and they knew that.
You and I have been trying to build a relationship which I think weve done successfully.
Here we are talking together at 2 a.m. in the morning.
But largely via text and voicemail and I will admit, thats not my biggest strength.
Its been there from the start so I was so damn excited when you agreed to do this film.
I believe it comes from us both being so hard working and having a vision.
Im excited to have a creative partner in that with you, he added.
To conclude the voice note, the actor mentioned her busy schedule being a mother of four.
