Justin Baldoni’s latest statement about his addiction to unhealthy content has come to surface amid Blake Lively’s sexual harassment accusations.
The actor, who has also been dropped by his talent agency after Lively accused him of running a smear campaign against her during the promotions of their movie ‘It Ends With Us,’ admitted he was addicted to porn.
“I was introduced to porn when I was 10 years old. Long before I ever, you know, could have an erection or even knew how I felt about anything,” he shared on a July 2021 episode ofSarah Grynberg’s“A Life of Greatness”podcast.
“Itwas,youknow,likeanyyoungboywhoseesb[expletive]bsforthefirsttime,it’sexcitingbecauseour culture has shielded them from us because they’re sexualized. It’s cultural,” Baldoni added.
“Itrainedmybraintodealwithpainwiththedopaminehit. … But it doesn’t mean that I’m not using something in an unhealthy way,”
“And I found myself, over the course of my life, going back to looking at images and videos of naked women when I was feeling necessarily bad about myself,” Baldoni told Grynberg.
“And I knew that it was an issue for me when I would tell myself that I don’t want to do that,” Baldoni admitted.
