Private text messages between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have surfaced, revealing an intimate conversation about body image that is now adding fuel to their ongoing legal battle.
The newly uncovered exchange, which took place during pre-production for "It Ends with Us," highlights Blake Lively’s concerns about her body ahead of filming intimate scenes, while Justin Baldoni’s responses are now being scrutinized as part of the lawsuit.
Baldoni’s Bombshell Website Goes Live
In an effort to push back against the allegations made against him, Baldoni has launched a website aimed at presenting his side of the case. The site provides a detailed breakdown of the ongoing legal battle and includes what Baldoni claims are newly uncovered evidence that challenges Lively’s accusations.
The website currently features two key sections.
The first is The Amended Complaint, a full legal document filed by Baldoni and his production company against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. This document outlines his claims of defamation, extortion, and false allegations.
The second section, The Case Timeline, offers a chronological breakdown of significant events, including when Baldoni first acquired the rights to "It Ends with Us" and the key developments leading up to Lively’s accusations.
Justin Baldoni And Blake Lively’s Explosive Texts On Body Image Surface Amid Legal Battle
On February 17, 2023, Lively asked Baldoni, "What's the chance we can do body scenes at the end of the schedule?"
To which Baldoni explained that there are "one billion moving parts to schedule right now," and it "comes down to locations and other cast availability."
While he admitted he has "no clue" when those scenes will be shot, he went on to reassure Lively by telling her:
"I want you to know, you will look amazing. Anytime you are insecure about [it] we will talk [it] 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. As soon as I have a rough schedule that's even remotely accurate, I'll share and I'll make sure the team keeps this in mind as well [red heart emoji]."
Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni’s 'It Ends With Us' Feud Escalates
This conversation was made public days after Lively's texts of her comparing herself to "Game of Thrones"’ Khaleesi, the Mother of Dragons, while defending her creative vision for the film.
As The Blast reported, Lively referred to Reynolds and best friend, Taylor Swift, as her “dragons,” implying they were backing her in the dispute.
The tension reportedly stemmed from a key rooftop scene in the film, which Lively reworked to better align with her vision. While Reynolds and Swift reportedly applauded her revisions, Baldoni’s reaction was far less enthusiastic, creating friction between the two co-stars.
Leaked Behind-The-Scenes Footage Adds Another Layer To The Dispute
Adding another layer of controversy, Baldoni’s countersuit accuses Lively of making negative comments about his appearance, even suggesting he consider plastic surgery for his nose.
More behind-the-scenes footage reportedly shows the two actors joking about Baldoni’s nose, with Lively referencing plastic surgery in a seemingly playful manner.
In the clip, Lively can be heard joking about her spray tan, saying, "I’m probably getting spray tan on you."
To which Baldoni laughs and responds, "It smells good."
While some might view the exchange as harmless banter, Baldoni’s legal team argues that it contributes to a pattern of double standards in their legal fight.
A Hollywood Feud That’s Far From Over
A 2 a.m. voice note from Baldoni to Lively was also recently made public, where he said, "You and I have been trying to build a relationship which I think we've done successfully. Here we are talking together at 2 am in the morning."
"But largely via text and voicemail and I will admit, that's not my biggest strength," he added. "I love being with people and being in somebody's space and being face-to-face and I think that's where I excel."
With text messages, behind-the-scenes footage, and explosive allegations continuing to surface, the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is showing no signs of slowing down.
As both sides dig in for a long courtroom fight, this Hollywood feud is only getting messier.
