New alleged texts between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively released as director launches lawsuit website

The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal saga continues.

Over the weekend, Baldoni launched a website titled 'Lawsuit Info', which includes a number of previously unseen texts as part of a 168-page document that sets out the timeline of events before and after filming It Ends with Us.

Some of the texts in the document were allegedly exchanged between the actor and Lively, who has sued him for sexual harassment, along with husband Ryan Reynolds.

The document on the site shows an updated version of Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against the couple and publicist Leslie Sloan.

Lively and Reynolds last week asked a judge to dismiss Baldoni's £320 million countersuit, as attorneys for both parties are scheduled to make their first appearance in court today (3 February).

What information is on Baldoni's website?

The website includes alleged messages from Reynolds before their feud, as well as nine text messages that Baldoni's team say claim his innocence.

It also includes a 'timeline of relevant events', which leak more text messages allegedly sent between Baldoni and Lively.

There are allegations included in the document, such as discussions between Baldoni and Lively to change the crucial rooftop scene between their characters, among allegations that Lively and Reynolds demanded Baldoni publicly take responsibility for negative press against the former.

The document also included a statement allegedly written for Baldoni, which partly read: "It Ends With Us was a troubled production which we take full accountability for. Blake Lively, Colleen Hoover, the entire cast and crew led with professionalism every step of the way, any negativity aimed at them is ours to own.

"We have always said we are not perfect and even if [we] unintentionally make mistakes, we always own them."

But there were also a number of bombshell texts, mostly running through April 2023, between the co-stars.

1 April 2023 - "What a great assembly of people"

According to the document, Lively messaged Baldoni after carrying out 'chemistry reads' with potential actors to play her love interest Atlas, with the actress sending a lengthy text to Baldoni at the end of the day, noting that it was 'fun'.

Part of it allegedly from Lively read: "It was lovely. Each of those men were so kind and giving their best I was rooting for each of them, And it was nice to feel what a safe, open, soulful and encouraging room you create for your actors. Excited to do it all for real soon! :)"

Baldoni 'love' reacted to the message.

5 April 2023 - "Just hired intimacy coordinator"

Baldoni allegedly text Lively: "Just hired intimacy coordinator who I LOVE. Will set you up to meet/FT with her next week for intro" (thumbs up)

According to the document, Lively responded: "I feel good. I can meet her when we start :) thank you though!"

This alleged exchange was included to counter claims from Lively that Baldoni would 'improvise' intimacy on set.

Lively seems to reject a meeting with the coordinator before filming begins.

7-8 April "It’s my love language. Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth"

In one of Lively's alleged messages to Baldoni, she explained that he would get to know the character's 'ball busting', adding that it would be 'flirty and yummy'.

The message highlighted that it's her love language, and that it would be 'spicy and playfully bold', as Baldoni responded by opening up about the importance of the character falling in love.

14 April 2023 - "I appreciate being able to communicate openly always"

Lively allegedly messaged Baldoni after they had discussed some changes to the script, adding that she was 'looking forward to catching up in person'.

This allegedly came two days after Reynolds and Lively's 'mega celebrity friend' unexpectedly attended a meeting and praised Lively's script changes, which Baldoni claims made him feel backed into a corner.

She allegedly wrote: "I'll freak you out, spook you, upset you, and be an actual beast. But I can promise it will always be in service of this movie and our shared goal.

"But will also always apologise. I appreciate being able to communicate openly always."

Lively's team's response to the website

Lively's attorney Michael Gottlieb told the Daily Mail the website was created to 'influence proceedings and the public perception' of the case with 'inflammatory content'.

He said: "He further has made it clear that his priority is to 'torpedo Blake Lively's career for good' by, among other things, creating a website to release strategically selected documents and communications between Ms. Lively and Mr. Baldoni.

"The planned website will release what Mr. Freedman self-servingly proclaims will be 'full unedited WhatsApp, text and email exchanges between Lively and Baldoni', although neither the media nor public will have any way of knowing which communications Mr. Freedman has selectively omitted from disclosure, including communications that Mr. Freedman and his clients may have deleted."

Lively's attorney claimed that the documents posted to the website would be 'incomplete, biased, and prejudicial by design'.

Lively and Baldoni will go to trial on 9 March, 2026.
