Justin Baldoni launches website with unseen text messages from Blake Lively amid $400M lawsuit

Justin Baldoni has launched a website aimed at defending himself against sexual harassment allegations made by Blake Lively.  

The newly created site, first reported by TMZ on Saturday, provides access to an updated version of the $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit Baldoni filed on January 16 against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane.  

Additionally, the site features a 168-page document outlining a detailed timeline of key events related to the case.  

It includes previously unseen text messages, emails, and other communications that Baldoni allegedly exchanged with Lively and Reynolds during the production of the 2024 film It Ends With Us.  

One of the messages, dated April 2023, shows Lively discussing a rewrite of the movie’s rooftop scene, allegedly stating: “if you knew me (in person) longer you’d have a sense of how flirty and yummy the ball busting will play. It’s my love language. Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth….”  

Another message from February 2023 reportedly features the *Deadpool* actor, 48, texting Baldoni: “I’m excited for you to work together. I’m excited for Blake to crack open her creative piggy bank with someone as dynamic as you. This is gonna be INCREDIBLE. I happen to adore you, Justin.”

The website appears to counter several of Lively’s claims, as it also contains screenshots of alleged communications with the film’s intimacy coordinator.  

Baldoni shared text messages that reportedly show his efforts to respond to Lively’s accusations that he made her feel “uncomfortable” with sexually suggestive remarks and comments about her postpartum body.  

Lively initially filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department on December 20, alleging that Baldoni sexually harassed her during the film’s production.  

She further accused him of orchestrating a smear campaign intended to damage her reputation.  

The A Simple Favor actress officially filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in New York Federal Court on December 31.
