Justin Baldoni’s legal team has launched a public website, sharing documents related to his ongoing legal battle with actress Blake Lively. The website was made public on Saturday, just two days before the first court hearing on Monday.
Background of the Case
Baldoni and Lively, who starred together in the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, are at the center of a legal dispute. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and professional retaliation. Baldoni denies these allegations and claims that Lively and her husband have no valid claims against him. His team insists they have “nothing to hide.”
Released Footage and Disputed Claims
Last month, Baldoni’s representatives released footage from It Ends With Us. They believe this footage contradicts Lively’s claims. However, Lively’s legal team argues that the footage actually supports her accusations, particularly the details in Paragraph 48 of her complaint.
Media Restrictions and Dismissal Requests
Lively’s lawyers have requested media restrictions to prevent Baldoni’s lawyer from influencing the case outside the courtroom. They also plan to seek a dismissal of Baldoni’s lawsuit. The hearing on Monday is set for New York, but neither Baldoni nor Lively are expected to attend. The full trial is scheduled for March 2026.
Documents Now Available Online
The website features two key documents: Baldoni’s amended $400 million lawsuit and a 168-page timeline of events. Baldoni’s lawyer, Freedman, said the amendment was necessary because of new evidence that surfaced.
Ongoing Drama
The legal battle has sparked widespread attention due to the prominent figures involved. Baldoni’s team has also suggested that Lively took creative control of the film and that Reynolds attempted to damage Baldoni’s reputation.
