‘He’s Like Russell Brand If Russell Went to Kylie Jenner’s Face Guy’: Whitney Cummings Roasts Justin Baldoni for Four Minutes Straight
Showbiz stories don’t get much uglier than the war between It Ends With Us star Blake Lively and the film’s director, Justin Baldoni. After Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, leaked messages from PR firms threatened to “bury” Lively in retaliation. It’s a story that’s unfolding in real time but that didn’t stop comedian Whitney Cummings from weighing in on TikTok.

For context, Baldoni promoted his film by trumpeting its anti-domestic abuse messaging, sentiments that allegedly conflict with his real-life behavior. Cummings isn’t buying any of it from a dude who’s giving her Criss Angel/Burning Man vibes. “I don’t like when guys — especially symmetrical ones — try to get points for being, like, a feminist or an ally,” the comic says in her TikTok. “When guys fight for women’s rights, it’s how they get laid.”
Cummings also put Baldoni on blast for his “big charity energy,” including partnering with the No More Foundation to provide resources for domestic abuse victims — timed with the promotion of his movie. “If I was a bad person, what is the first thing I would do?” she wondered. “Start a charity.”

“Are Hollywood people allowed to just donate and participate without telling a publicist?”
Cummings has it in for “feminist men” because, she says, they always support the same causes — “free the nipple” and “normalize breastfeeding.” (She shared screenshots showing Baldoni very much in favor of the latter.)
Can you blame her for laying into a guy who lists himself as a “Changemaker” on his bio? She figures that means changing his V-neck or his pomade. What else could he be changing? “Oh, your wife’s mind on her stance on polyamory.”
What about Baldoni’s man-centric guide for boys? “This is like a sociopath’s idea of what the world needs,” she says.
For more than four minutes, Cummings kept the burns coming:
- “Justin Baldoni is totally the guy who’s, like, ‘You look so much prettier without makeup unless you’re starring in the movie I’m directing.'”
- “Why is he like Russell Brand if Russell went to Kylie’s face guy?”
- “I’m calling his agent on Monday and asking how many times Justin has subtly requested to play Jesus in a movie. I bet it’s like 12.”
- “Justin Baldoni is the kind of guy who’s like, ‘I’m gonna go to Slutwalk to advocate for these sluts that are being shamed. If I see one slut that’s being shamed, I will invite her to my house that is a safe space for her to be a slut.”
- “Why do I feel Justin Baldoni is one of those people who suns their butthole?”
Geez, Whitney, tell us how you really feel.
