On Wednesday, Justin’s 61-year-old father took to his Instagram Story to share a video of what appeared to be a school bulletin board that read, “In a world full of Blakes and Ryans, be a Justin,” according to Page Six. The board also featured news clippings of Justin with words like “supportive” and “honest” being used to describe him. Sam reportedly re-shared the video to his social media page alongside a heart hands emoji, per People magazine.

The news comes amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal battles following the release of their controversial film, It Ends with Us. In December, Lively sued Baldoni, his PR team and Wayfarer Studios alleging sexual harassment and retaliation, which Baldoni denies. The following month, Baldoni responded with a lawsuit of his own suing Lively, Reynolds, their publicist and The New York Times over defamation and extortion.
