Justin Baldoni’s text messages have shed light on accusations that he 'fat-shamed' Blake Lively amid his ongoing legal battle with the actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.  

Ryan reportedly accused Baldoni of multiple offenses against Blake, including asking her trainer about her weight after she gave birth to their fourth child.  

In her lawsuit, Blake alleged that Baldoni introduced her to a wellness coach who was actually a weight-loss specialist, calling it another instance of subtle fat-shaming.  

Baldoni, who plays Ryle in *It Ends With Us*, did connect Blake with his health coach, but messages show it was to help improve her gut health after multiple rounds of antibiotics.  

Texts also show Baldoni reassuring Blake she would look "amazing" in "body scenes" after she asked to push them to the end of filming.  

Meanwhile, Blake appeared to joke about herself, saying she still had 20 pounds to lose after Baldoni commented on her getting something off her chest.  

As legal battles continue, Baldoni’s team has launched a website detailing his interactions with Lively and Reynolds.  

His lawyers released a timeline from 2019 to 2024, including 168 pages of messages and emails, as *MailOnline* examines claims about Blake’s body.  

Baldoni once disliked a message where Blake said she wanted to lose weight before filming after her fourth baby.  

Warm exchanges between them show Blake thanking him for his "support" and "friendship."  

Baldoni later told her he had been "worried" about her and joked that she must have felt 1,000 pounds lighter, meaning emotionally.  

She replied: "I really really do" and then added: "Only 20 to go" with laughing emojis.  

Baldoni reassured Blake after she worried about being in shape for love scenes post-baby.  

In the texts, she asked: "What's the chance we can do body scenes at the end of the schedule?"  

Baldoni responded that he couldn’t adjust the schedule yet but told her: "I want you to know you will look amazing. Anything you are insecure about we will talk through and get creative together and make you comfortable.  

"I just don't want you to stress about your body. It's the last thing you need."  

Blake then explained she treats roles like "athletic events" and wanted time to lose weight.  

She wrote: "I just need as much time as possible because I just had my 4th baby.  

"I understand that you'll never personally know all the nuances of the challenges unless you lived this physical moment in time I'm in with this physical road ahead, so having your understanding and support to let me pull this off is critical. And very, very appreciated.  

"Not just in my experience now, but also healing from experiences passed. So thank you."  

She added: "We are gonna kill it. And be so fit they have to Lola us to look less bangin."
