Following the news of her lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star/director Justin Baldoni, Bart took to social media to shed some light on the situation and defend his sister-in-law.
"Her complaints were filed during the filming. On record. Long before the public conflict. The cast unfollowed him for a reason. Read this article before spiting ignorance. His PR team was stellar. Gross and disgusting but highly effective. Read the article, their text message exchanges and his PR campaign strategy to bury her by any means necessary. No one is with out faults. But the public got played," Bart wrote in the comments on a New York Times Instagram post about the lawsuit.
"And yes of COURSE mistakes were made. But just IMAGINE being a stay at home mom raising 4 kids, married to the busiest man in Hollywood and at the same time being a girl boss running multiple companies while writing, producing, running non profits and working 16+ hour days from home so you can be with your kids... launching 2 new businesses you been working on / developing for many years (launch scheduled by distributors, not you, btw) all while getting attacked by a VERY expensive PR smear campaign because you filed a sexual harassment claim for the very film you have to go out and promote with just the right tone or you get cooked!?"
He continued, "Looks like she's doing a hell of a job to me and trying to do good things for the right reasons. But yeah let's post from our couch how much we hate her for making mistakes. That makes sense. I mean, she's been rude in these interviews that magically played on repeat. I saw it. None of us have ever been wrong or mean. Never. We should discount decades of good for those few bad moments. Glad the microscope isn't on me every day of my life."
Bart also replied to a few comments, noting what a girl boss is to him and even called Blake, and other women, his hero.
"To clarify, to ME a 'girl boss' means a woman that is kicking a$$ as an entrepreneur and/or business owner in what has been previously dominated by men, and showing they are every bit as capable and qualified if not more so in that space," he said. "She's my hero as is any woman charging it like this. You're free to define it as you wish, but that's on you."
