In case you’d forgotten or frankly, just understandably grown bored of the whole thing, the drama with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is still going on.

But LADs, it might have just gotten interesting again, with newly released court documents showing exchanges with a number of famous faces.

This includes Taylor Swift calling Baldoni a ‘b**ch’ and Lively herself appealing to Ben Affleck to watch the film. The latter is still currently entangled in lawsuits with Baldoni following major accusations from their time on the set of 2024’s It Ends With Us.

Lively accused her co-star of sexual harassment and alleged he and his production company launched a campaign to ‘destroy’ her reputation, which he denies.

And in messages with Matt Damon, the star says Baldoni claimed to speak to her ‘dead dad’.

In a document entitled ‘Exhibit 134’, there are messages from a conversation between Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds with Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso.

Reynolds wrote on 17 May 2024: “Several weeks before shooting, and right after Blake had given birth to our son ... this guy called our trainer, Don and asked ‘how much do you think Blake will weigh in two weeks?’

“Don, got very Long Island all of a sudden and Justin backtracked. He said, ‘I'm only asking because I have to carry her in a scene. And I have low bone density’.”

Listed as Lucy Damon, she then wrote back: “Sorry but what the actual f**k?!? he’s dead.”

And as Lively continued to spill the tea from set, she wrote: “He also told me last year that he speaks to my father often. He hopes I don't mind.

“My father died 3 years ago.”

This prompted Lucy to call him a 'creep' as she suggested: "I think you should make a movie about this guy."

As Lively asked Matt to give the movie a watch for feedback on her edit, he responded: "We'll give you any help we can. And if this experience hasn't totally destroyed your soul, Blake, you should come direct your next movie at Artists Equity.

"We're kind of like a cult but a really nice one." He then added of Baldoni: "I'm looking forward to seeing his work."

In another document, Lively emailed Damon's long-time pal and collaborator Affleck, also with a 'zero pressure ask' to watch the movie and give her notes.

"Ryan asked Matt to watch also so I think he's watching this weekend. Good men showing up. I'm beyond grateful for that. Also. can you believe Jason Bourne is watching my movie!?!?! I'll get you an autograph one day. Don't worry," she wrote.
