“Anytime I’ve said anything unkind about someone I’ve regretted it,” Johnson wrote in a lengthy post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Fortunately that’s almost never and definitely not when I’m at my best,” he said.
“Regardless if it’s true or not, if it’s my opinion, even if I’m trying to speak truth or stand up for someone, it’s never good,” he added.

“He’s a fraud. He puts on the ‘costume’ of a hero, man bun and all,” Johnson said in a now-deleted post. “Used all of the trendy catchphrases & buzz words for his podcasts.”
Baldoni’sMan Enoughpodcast was self-described as a platform to explore what it means to be a man in today’s world. Themes liketoxic masculinity, mental health, and gender roles were often the subject of conversations.
“He puts on the ‘costume’ of a hero, man bun and all. Used all of the trendy catchphrases & buzz words for his podcasts,” Johnson said.
“None of it’s genuine,” he added. “It’s all theater. And everyone fell for it. For years.”
The brother-in-law didn’t hesitate to get involved after Lively filed a lawsuit in December,accusing Baldoni of sexual harassmentand using a smear campaign to tarnish her image.
Denying all the accusations levied against him, Baldoni’s legal team fired back withhis own $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist.
