Justin Baldoni shared what he said were wild text messages from his “It Ends With Us” co-star Blake Lively on his new website.
Among the newly released messages is one from April 2023, in which the “Gossip Girl” alum discussed a rewrite of the movie’s rooftop scene.
“if you knew me (in person) longer you’d have a sense of how flirty and yummy the ball busting will play. It’s my love language. Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth….,” she allegedly texted Baldoni.
That same month, Baldoni, 41, told Lively, 37, that he had hired an intimacy coordinator and that they could meet “next week.”
Lively, however, declined to meet with the intimacy coordinator unit they started filming.
“I feel good,” she allegedly texted Baldoni. “I can meet her when we start 🙂 thank you though!”
On April 12, 2023, Baldoni claimed he met Lively at her apartment in New York City and was greeted by her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who praised his wife’s rooftop scene rewrite.
Hours later, the couple’s “megacelebrity friend,” who was later identified as Taylor Swift, walked into the apartment and also began lauding Lively’s script.
The mom of four later referred to Reynolds and Swift, 35, as her “dragons” that protect her.
Lively’s husband, Reynolds, also allegedly texted Baldoni, telling him how “excited” he was for him to work with his wife.
“I’m excited for Blake to crack open her creative piggy bank with someone as dynamic as you. This is gonna be INCREDIBLE. I happen to adore you, Justin,” the “Deadpool” star, 48, allegedly wrote in February 2023.
In May 2023, Baldoni and Lively seemed more comfortable with each other and made silly jokes via text.
“I like sentimental Blake,” the director allegedly texted Lively, to which she responded, “Never met her.”
“I also like asshole Blake … don’t worry,” Baldoni added. Lively replied, “I’ve met her. So have my suppositories.”
That same month, Baldoni texted someone saying he was “f–king terrified” of saying the “wrong thing” to Lively about wanting a wardrobe change for her character after backlash from fans.
In June 2023, Lively allegedly invited Baldoni to work on lines in her trailer while she was pumping.
“I’m just pumping in my trailer if you wanna work on our lines,” she allegedly wrote to Baldoni, who replied, “copy. Eating with crew and will head that way.”
Baldoni’s website also features a link to an amended version of the $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit he filed against Lively, Reynolds, and the actress’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, on Jan. 16.
Lively initially filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department in December 2024, alleging that Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of the film.
The “Age of Adaline: actress also claimed her co-star also launched an orchestrated smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.
On December 31, 2024, Lively filed a formal lawsuit against Baldoni in New York Federal Court.
Lively and Baldoni’s case is currently set for a March 2026 trial date.
