The Justin Baldoni vs Blake Lively legal drama has taken another very public turn after the formerâs legal team put several of their alleged conversations in the spotlight.
The 41-year-old actorâs team launched a new website on Saturday, February 1 titled âLawsuit Infoâ that includes two PDFs, one titled âAmended Complaint,â detailing his lawsuit against Blake, Ryan Reynolds, their PR team and the New York Times.
The other is titled âTimeline of Relevant Eventsâ and includes a full timeline spanning from when Justin first emailed Colleen Hoover about It Ends With Us in January 2019 to January 29, 2025, when the lawsuit was filed against the NYT, alleging they had been conspiring with Blake and Ryan âfor monthsâ to prepare an exposĂ©.
The âTimeline of Events,â over a 168-page PDF, also includes several alleged conversations between the filmmaker and Blake, 37, plus Ryan, 48, and their respective teams.
The new PDF also includes several text chains apparently between Blake and Justin, as well as between Justin and Ryan ahead of the making of the movie âexpressing their mutual respect for each other,â per the document.
Many of the events also capture the press coverage of the reported âfeudâ between the co-stars, fueled further by Colleen and the rest of the cast unfollowing Justin and their separate appearances during promotional events and premieres, including the disparate promotional messaging by Blake and Justin.
One of the events highlighted is an alleged statement drafted by Blake and Ryan imploring Justin to take responsibility for the movieâs bad press, alleging that âReynolds and Lively are furious with Wayfarer and Baldoni for positioning them as promoting the Film as a âBarbie filmâ while elevating Baldoni to speak on the more serious messaging.â

The statement prepared for Justin and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, reads: âIT ENDS WITH US was a troubled production which we take full accountability for. We are very sorry to everyone we caused upset to privately and publicly.âÂ
âBlake Lively, Colleen Hoover, the entire cast and crew led with professionalism every step of the way, any negativity aimed at them is ours to own,â it continues. âWe mutually agreed that the cast would be promoting the film separately and understood why.â

âWe have always said we are not perfect and even if unintentionally make mistakes, we will always own them. We hold ourselves accountable, itâs not anyoneâs job but ours and thatâs part of being âman enough.'âÂ
âWe will practice what we preach. We are learning and growing from the experience and we thank everyone for their patience as we find a better way to proceed,â it adds, concluding with a message praising the film for inspiring âuncomfortable conversations.âÂ
