Justin Baldoni’s Team to Launch Website Containing Evidence to Support His Claims Against Blake Lively: Report

According to reports, Justin Baldoni’s team is said to be preparing to unveil a website showcasing supporting material for his allegations against Blake Lively, concerning the backstage disputes related to their upcoming film, “It Ends With Us.

In response to Bryan Freedman, attorney for Justin Baldoni, sharing video evidence of Baldoni and another actor together on the 2024 film set, aimed at disproving the actress’s sexual harassment allegations against her director-costar in her December complaint, his legal team stated through People: “Justin Baldoni and his team have nothing to conceal, and this further solidifies this fact.

Baldoni, along with the other individuals named in the lawsuit filed by Lively from It Ends With Us, “have every right to defend themselves with the truth.” To that end, we will be providing our defense through an upcoming website filled with all relevant correspondence and videos, which will refute her allegations effectively.

On January 16th, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against the former Gossip Girl star, her spouse Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, accusing them of defamation, extortion, and additional charges totaling $400 million. Last year, Lively’s initial lawsuit prompted Baldoni to also sue The New York Times on December 31st for libel, false portrayal of privacy, and more, due to an article discussing her accusations against him and a supposed retaliatory smear campaign she faced.

In a video captured on set for It Ends With Us, obtained by TMZ and shared by Baldoni’s team, you can see actress Blake Lively, aged 37, dancing with co-star Baldoni, also 40, as their characters Lily and Ryle. This scene, meant to be silent, contains the actors chatting off-camera while filming, jokingly discussing Baldoni’s nose and Lively’s spray tan.

In her grievance, Lively claimed that Baldoni was exploiting their intimate connection during the scene. Nevertheless, the video evidence doesn’t suggest any discomfort between them; instead, they appear to be joking and laughing together.

Baldoni is suing Lively over claims that she suggested he might need a nose job. The video shows them joking about his nose, with Lively even cracking a joke about plastic surgery.

The website, allegedly designed to refute her statements, is said to feature additional footage taken on the set of the Colleen Hoover adaptation.

On January 6th, I confirmed through a statement to People that solid proof supports my allegations of sexual harassment. The very next day, Freedman, speaking on behalf of Baldoni, announced they would be disclosing evidence revealing a persistent pattern of bullying and threats from me, aiming to seize control of the movie entirely.

In his statement, Freedman explained that the evidence wouldn’t astonish anyone since it aligns with the actress’s previous actions.
