Justin Baldoni has launched a new website amid an ongoing legal dispute with co-star Blake Lively over alleged events on the set of their film It Ends With Us. The site, titled Lawsuit Info, features Baldoni’s amended complaint and a detailed timeline of key events in the case, which includes both parties’ legal claims. Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, 41, in December, accusing him of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign. In retaliation, Baldoni is counter-suing Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, for civil extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy. Baldoni has also filed a libel suit against The New York Times, denying all allegations from Lively’s side.
The site, published on Saturday, contains two key legal documents: Baldoni’s latest court filings against Lively and Reynolds, as well as a 168-page timeline of events that include alleged text message exchanges between the two stars. The timeline also references Baldoni’s amended lawsuit, which accuses Lively of leaking her civil rights complaint to The New York Times.
Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, emphasized the new evidence presented in the case, suggesting Lively and her team colluded to destroy reputations with false accusations and manipulated communications. In response, a New York Times spokesperson refuted Baldoni’s claims, calling them inaccurate and based on incorrect information from amateur internet sources.
Last month, Baldoni released outtakes from a romantic scene in It Ends With Us, which he claims disproves Lively’s harassment allegations. Lively, however, countered that the footage supported her claims. The film, which became a TikTok sensation upon its release last summer, is based on Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel about an abusive relationship.
