Justin Baldoni exposes explicit intimacy coordinator notes from meeting that Blake Lively skipped
Justin Baldoni’s revised lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, now includes detailed notes he reportedly received from the intimacy coordinator during a meeting that Lively did not attend.
As per the amended complaint filed on January 31, Baldoni said he was placed in the “less than ideal position of having to relay” the intimacy coordinator’s notes to Lively.
The actor-director claimed he visited Lively’s New York City penthouse, where she allegedly asked to meet, to discuss the proposed ideas for the film's intimate scenes, according to the legal documents.
The intimacy coordinator’s alleged notes, dated April 2023, included suggestions that Baldoni’s character “goes down on” Lively’s character, and the two would “orgasm” during a scene, also involving “foreplay.”
Baldoni’s lawsuit claims that Lively, 37, allegedly said she did not want to “orgasm” on screen because she felt “too old for that.”
Baldoni, 41, claimed that he presented an alternative based on the intimacy coordinator's suggestions but then “moved on.”
“Ultimately, Lively rejected all of the intimacy coordinator’s proposals to rewrite the scenes herself,” the lawsuit states.
“These notes would later serve as the foundation for Lively’s complaint, where she accused Baldoni of talking about his own sex life and inserting unnecessary scenes with Lively’s character orgasming,” the court documents also claim, referring to Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment.
Baldoni’s legal team also disputed Lively’s claims that her character’s birth scene was filmed on a “chaotic” and “crowded” set with “utterly lacking in standard industry protections” while she was only wearing a small piece of fabric to cover her private parts.
The “Five Feet Apart” director’s lawsuit argued that Lively “was wearing black briefs and a pregnancy suit that covered her midsection, and her top was covered by a hospital gown” when the birthing scene was shot.
In December 2024, the “Age of Adaline” star filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department and later sued Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and trying to damage her reputation.
Lively’s complaint alleged that an “all-hands” meeting was held regarding Baldoni’s conduct, where he was reportedly told to stop discussing his past porn addiction and showing her “nude videos or images of women.”
During the meeting, Baldoni was also allegedly asked to refrain from adding additional sex scenes that were “outside the scope” of the script.
