Yaani King’s recent Instagram post addresses Adam Mondschein

Yaani King first met Adam Mondschein when she moved to LA 20 years ago. What started as a close friendship soon turned into a romantic relationship, and the two got married on 25th July 2012. In a recent throwback post, King uploaded several photos of her husband and thanked him for being a part of her LA journey.

"First as a friend for 5 years then as my love for the past 13. None of these wonderful milestones or incredible projects I’ve been involved would be half as magical without him." She captioned her post.

Adam Mondschein is now the focus of public interest after Lively filed a lawsuit claiming that she was made to feel uneasy on set while filming a birth scene in It Ends With Us.

According to her complaint, Blake Lively claimed that Baldoni had his "best friend" cast in a sex scene and the set was not professional when filming a scene where she was "nearly nude."

Mondschein, who was cast as the actor in the scene, responded publicly, labeling her version as untrue. He claimed that Lively was dressed entirely in a hospital gown, shorts, and a prosthetic belly and asserted that the shoot was professional. He also came to his own defense and cited that he was hired locally, not flown in as a favor to Baldoni.

"Ms. Lively’s insinuations regarding my qualifications are offensive, as my bonafides are easily searchable online," Mondschein told Page Six.

The drama around the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni saga has refused to die down, with Mondschein's angle being the latest offshoot.
