In a court filing, Blake Lively’s driver, Kevin Alexander, stated that Justin Baldoni admitted to having previously engaged in inappropriate behavior with women while they were traveling to the set of ‘It Ends With Us’.
Lively is suing Baldoni for $160 million, claiming he sexually harassed her during the filming of their 2024 movie and then tried to damage her reputation. Baldoni has refuted these accusations.
Alexander received a subpoena related to the case, and a transcript of his September 2025 testimony was made public on January 20th, along with many other significant court filings.
According to a statement obtained by The Daily Mail, Alexander remembers driving Blake Lively, her assistant Sophia Travaglia, and another person from Lively’s New York City apartment to the New Jersey set of the movie It Ends With Us in the spring of 2023.
He stated the car ride took between 20 and 25 minutes, and he claims he overheard a troubling conversation between Baldoni and another person during the trip.
He stated that the actor talked frankly about his relationships with women while Lively and Travaglia were there.
In a sworn statement, Alexander stated that Baldoni admitted to having previously sexually assaulted women, and also claimed that women had sexually assaulted him.
In his testimony, Alexander stated he couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation with Baldoni because it was very disturbing and distracted him from driving.
Alexander explained that it was unusual for him to have such a deep conversation with someone while riding in a car, and that’s what made the experience memorable.
He went on to describe how the individual repeatedly spoke about his sexual encounters, and, as he’d mentioned before, allegedly forced himself on women.
According to his deposition, Alexander said he would go back to his original position if he received any rejection, and he found the whole experience upsetting.
Upon reaching the production office in New Jersey, Alexander spoke with Lively about his worries regarding Baldoni, and even recommended they consider running a background check on him.
He remembered driving to the production office, just a short distance away, and letting everyone out of the car.
I told Blake I was feeling uneasy and that something didn’t seem right, suggesting we look into his background. I later found out he was the movie’s producer.
During questioning about his conversation with Baldoni, Alexander stated that Baldoni continued talking, but Alexander didn’t listen closely because he was concentrating on driving.
Alexander focused on statements Baldoni supposedly made about Alexander’s past relationships with women, claiming these were the most important part of the issue.
‘It is disturbing to me. You can’t forget something like that.’
According to Sigrid McCawley, a lawyer for Blake Lively, newly released evidence includes previously unseen statements, messages, and accounts from many witnesses who support the claims made in Lively’s lawsuit, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Baldoni for comment but has yet to hear back.
Baldoni has been embroiled in an intense legal battle with Lively for over a year now.
In December 2024, a former Gossip Girl actress filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment, unfair retaliation, and causing intentional emotional harm.
Lively claims that Baldoni repeatedly sexually harassed her, including making demeaning comments about her body, and then tried to ruin her career by spreading false information about her.
The lawsuit also includes Baldoni’s business partners, such as his company Wayfarer Studios, its CEO and investor, and the people who handle his public relations.
Baldoni and the other defendants have denied the allegations.
He first sued The New York Times for $250 million, claiming a report about statements made by Lively harmed his reputation.
The lawsuit involved Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane. The case was dismissed in June, and all involved have denied any wrongdoing.
As a longtime follower of this case, it was incredible to finally see all the documents from the year-long legal fight made public this past week. So much information that was hidden for so long is now out in the open!
Recently released documents included a text conversation reportedly between Colleen Hoover’s ‘It Ends With Us’ star, Lively, and her co-star Brandon Sklenar, in which they seemingly criticized the film’s director, Baldoni.
Lively and Sklenar, costars who played a couple in the 2024 movie, began exchanging messages about their TV jobs. The conversation soon turned to what it was like making the film together.
Lively claims Baldoni went into the film editing room to watch her version of the movie without permission, after she had finished editing it herself.
In a conversation obtained by the Daily Mail, Lively called Baldoni ‘completely crazy,’ and Sklenar said he was ‘clearly messing up’ and ‘ruining his career.’
Lively quickly retorted, ‘You haven’t heard the half of it,’ and then continued to accuse Baldoni of wrongdoing.
In a recently revealed text message, she wrote that she would have continued to allow him to receive all the praise. She felt he would have had a successful career, even potentially thriving in his next role, but at least he would have achieved significant success.
He’ll still be productive, but people are starting to notice. I’ve been trying to keep things quiet because I just want to concentrate on my work and avoid getting involved in their drama.
‘But they wreck [sic] havoc everywhere they go. And everyone sees it. Then they come to me.’
Lively remembers an incident on set where Baldoni reportedly started to speak to Sklenar, but then stopped himself. He apparently worried he’d face backlash – saying he’d ‘probably get canceled’ – and commented that it felt like ‘you can’t say anything’ without causing a problem.
You know, when I looked back on that conversation, it was a bit fuzzy for me too. I recall having the exchange, but honestly, I don’t remember if Baldoni ever actually clarified what he meant by it all. It just sort of… faded from memory, unfortunately.
As a longtime observer, I’ve noticed a pattern with Baldoni where he often tries to involve other people in his problems. This is just my take, of course, but it seems like he doesn’t like to deal with things on his own and tends to pull others into the resulting difficulties.
Later on, Sklenar expressed confusion over what he saw as Baldoni’s shortsightedness, especially considering Baldoni’s public image built through presentations, podcasts, and books.
Lively explained that the difference in behavior ‘totally makes sense,’ suggesting Baldoni was hiding a difficult personal struggle while maintaining a perfect public persona.
Sklenar appears to agree, replying, ‘It does make perfect sense.’
The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Baldoni, Lively, and Sklenar for a statement, but hasn’t received one yet.
