Justin Baldoni has taken a decisive stand against Blake Lively’s lawsuit by launching a dedicated website over the weekend, claiming to provide evidence to refute her accusations. This site features text messages, emails, and a comprehensive timeline of events, along with his amended lawsuit directed at the actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist. As both parties gear up for a protracted legal battle, Baldoni’s new initiative has sparked significant controversy.
Here’s what we know about Baldoni’s website and its potential ramifications in his ongoing legal dispute with Lively.
Justin Baldoni Unveils Evidence in Response to Blake Lively’s Lawsuit
The actor and director has made a bold move in his legal conflict with his It Ends With Us co-star by launching a website that defends him against her sexual harassment allegations.
On this platform, Justin Baldoni has unveiled a 168-page document that includes text messages and emails exchanged with Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, intended to undermine their claims. The site also presents an updated copy of his $400 million countersuit, where Baldoni accuses the couple and their publicist Leslie Sloane of defamation, civil extortion, and conducting a smear campaign against him.
The documents feature specific text messages in which Lively allegedly discusses her personality and enthusiasm for their collaboration. Another message reveals Reynolds commending Baldoni before filming commenced, calling him “dynamic” and expressing his admiration. Baldoni contends that these communications contradict Lively’s allegations and reveal a coordinated effort to tarnish his reputation.
In December 2024, Blake Lively initially filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual misconduct on set and a resultant smear campaign. In retaliation, Baldoni countersued, also claiming that Ryan Reynolds publicly mocked him using a character from Deadpool. The legal skirmish has escalated, with Baldoni now pursuing a $250 million defamation lawsuit against a major publication, alleging misrepresentation of his case.
