Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Take Legal Battle Against Justin Baldoni to New Heights!

BBG News

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are increasing their attempts to silence Justin Baldoni and his legal representatives, after a sequence of explosive allegations were put forth by Baldoni’s legal team.

Dear Honorable Judge,

As an ardent follower of this captivating case, I feel compelled to voice my mounting anxieties regarding the actions of attorney Bryan Freedman. In a plea for your immediate attention, I am requesting a private audience with you to discuss what appears to be his suspected extrajudicial misconduct and unbecoming behavior.

I eagerly await your response, hoping that justice will prevail in this intriguing legal battle.

Yours sincerely,
A devoted spectator

According to an exclusive filing acquired by DailyMail.com, it mentions Freedman’s recent media interviews along with the development of a new website by Baldoni’s group for the purposeful dissemination of certain files and correspondence between the two conflicted colleagues.

The Daily Mail report published on Friday, based on inside sources, disclosed that Baldoni’s legal team is currently constructing a comprehensive website dedicated to this case. This site will grant public access to various pieces of raw footage from the movie, any of which might corroborate Lively’s initial grievance against the actor.

Freedman has also publicly warned: ‘We have all the receipts – and more.’ 

However, the attorney for the couple, Michael J. Gottlieb, asserts that the website and statements by Freedman are components of an effort to sway both the court proceedings and public opinion about the case using provocative material.

In the letter, Gottlieb clarifies that this individual is determined to significantly harm Blake Lively’s acting career. To achieve this, he plans on establishing a website where he will publish sensitive documents and correspondence between Ms. Lively and Mr. Baldoni, according to his statement.

The upcoming website is expected to publish alleged ‘raw conversations’ from WhatsApp, text messages, and emails between Lively and Baldoni, as claimed by Mr. Freedman, but it should be noted that neither the media nor the public will be able to ascertain which messages might have been intentionally excluded from disclosure. This could potentially include communications deleted by Mr. Freedman or his clients.

In essence, Gottlieb contends that the website may intentionally exclude any interactions between Freedman and Baldoni with media outlets. This implies that the information provided would likely be inadequate, skewed, and potentially unfair from its very construction.

Additionally, he suggests that Freedman’s portrayal of Lively’s demand for a gag order as an effort to muzzle them, is an attempt to tarnish her reputation, or in simpler terms, he thinks Freedman is trying to damage Lively’s character.

A person acquainted with the matter asserted that the site aims to ensure openness regarding this case, and they assured it won’t feature biased or selectively chosen information.

On Monday, I shared with DailyMail.com my unwavering conviction: This website’s mission is to stand against selectivity. Instead of choosing only certain pieces, manipulating text messages, or picking and choosing like they did when they handed materials to the New York Times, we strive for inclusiveness and honesty here.

In recent developments, a new court document has surfaced, just days following an exclusive report by DailyMail.com, indicating that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds may soon be required to disclose all their textual, email, and messaging communications related to Justin Baldoni and the movie “It Ends With Us.

The prominent Hollywood pair, known for their success, have found themselves accused in a significant legal action brought forth by an actor a week ago. If successful, they may be required to compensate him with approximately $400 million.

In addition to Lively (age 37) and Reynolds (age 48), as well as their top PR representative Leslie Sloane, are also receiving subpoenas for depositions. This means they will have to give extensive testimony and face questioning from Baldoni’s legal team.

According to a well-informed source, it is definitely true that everyone involved has been informed that they are expected to receive a subpoena and give testimony immediately.

In the ongoing legal dispute between actress Lively and director Baldoni, the upcoming subpoenas serve as another indication that things are getting more intense and serious.

A disagreement or conflict between Lively and Baldoni initially surfaced as whispers of tension on the set of the domestic abuse drama “It Ends With Us.” As the movie was released in August, these rumors intensified during the promotional period.

As per Baldoni’s account, the rift between the leading actors of the movie led to him and his family being exiled to the cinema’s basement for the premiere, at the behest of Lively.

In December, the drama exploded into a legal fight when Lively sued claiming sexual harassment.

Simultaneously, a report from The New York Times emerged, stemming from Lively’s court documents, which alleged that he had masterminded a smear campaign aimed at her, with the allegations of harassment taking center stage.

Previously, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against The Times for defamation, and just recently initiated a legal action against Lively and Reynolds. The accusations state that they misused their celebrity influence to seize Baldoni’s movie and make an effort to derail his professional path.

In an unexpected turn of events, I found myself in the midst of a fresh development earlier this week. DailyMail.com managed to get hold of the original footage that captured the slow dance sequence, where Lively alleged Baldoni made unwelcome advances by nuzzling her neck and saying, “It smells so good.” As a lifestyle expert, it’s crucial to address such issues openly and honestly for the sake of understanding and growth.

Last month, I firmly asserted in my civil rights declaration that the remark in question wasn’t overheard due to the silent nature of the romantic scene and the deactivated microphones during that particular sequence.

However, DailyMail.com unveiled that Baldoni’s audio gear was turned on, and they have obtained a stunning video, which includes the complete recordings from all three takes, effectively debunking Lively’s assertions.

The recordings reveal a warm camaraderie between the two celebrities prior to their fallout. They are seen laughing, bantering – even poking fun at Baldoni’s nose size – and discussing leisure activities they engage in with their respective partners.

The recording from approximately seven minutes onwards clearly shows that the remark about her having a lovely scent was actually in reply to Lively discussing her spray tan during their dance scene filming, not an unsolicited comment.

In a simpler, more conversational style: Baldoni jokes that he might end up with Lively’s beard, to which she replies that he might get her spray tan instead.

Later, he jokingly remarks, “It smells great,” before they both chuckle. She then reveals that the fragrance is indeed emanating from her perfume or body lotion.

In the montage, Baldoni can be seen affectionately touching Lively’s neck during a scene where they portray lovers. However, their dialogue revolves around technical aspects such as lighting, with them mostly discussing their respective partners instead.

The unedited video, captured during the making of “It Ends With Us,” contains both sound and visuals, and was shared with DailyMail.com by the actor’s production company Wayfarer, along with his lawyer Bryan Freedman who has stated that Baldoni has nothing to conceal.

As an ardent follower, I can’t help but be captivated by the recent exclusive footage from DailyMail.com, adding another chapter to the ongoing drama that unfolded with the release of “It Ends With Us” last August. Whispers of backstage strife have been circulating ever since, and this latest revelation keeps me on the edge of my seat!

Just before Christmas, there was a heated legal dispute between the parties when the striking brunette filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment.

Simultaneously, The New York Times published a report derived from Lively’s court documents, alleging that he masterminded a defamation campaign against her, with the malodor claim serving as the main focus.

Previously, Baldoni filed a defamation suit against The Times, and just recently, he initiated a $400 million legal action against actress Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. This lawsuit alleges that she abused her celebrity influence to hijack his movie project and intentionally damage his career.

Initially, Lively claimed there was no sound on the new video, but it actually starts with them both talking about a scene. The actress then tells Baldoni, “I’ve moved from my starting point.

Interestingly, at a certain point in the sequence, the duo engage in a discussion over whether speaking or kissing is more appropriate. Lively maintains that conversation is more romantic, to which Baldoni agrees. Later, when Lively ponders if anyone will figure out their true topic of discussion, she jokes, ‘They’ll never guess what we’re really discussing.’

The discussion later shifts towards their significant others. Lively mentions that she and Reynolds have frequent conversations, while Baldoni shares that he and his spouse Emily often gaze at each other for extended periods, as if they’ve been doing it for just a few moments.

After a jovial outburst, he shares with her, “I believe you’d find it quite scary.” Later, as she discusses her ongoing conversations with Reynolds, Baldoni responds affectionately, “I think that’s adorable. The two of you are really endearing together.

In a slightly uncomfortable manner, she responds, “I believe it’s more than adorable,” to which he quickly concurs, saying, “I agree, I think you two are fantastic.

In the interview, Baldoni, both director and actor in “It Ends With Us,” expresses his desire for the scenes to depict them coming very close to kissing. This prompts Lively to continue discussing, emphasizing that it’s more romantic to engage in conversation instead of providing the audience with a kiss as they seem to expect.

In my advice, I encourage a moment of connection. I suggest gently pressing your foreheads together, fostering a sense of unity and understanding between you two.

At that moment, Lively shifts the conversation towards noses, saying to Baldoni, “I find myself becoming quite curious, it’s all about noses.

Later, Baldoni says, “My nose is quite large,” which makes her laugh heartily, and she replies jokingly, “Indeed! That’s exactly what I was hoping we could discuss. I guess I need to contact my insurance about it and handle the situation. Just kidding.

As I continue the recording, I move on to the next take, with Baldoni providing guidance to his team and conferring about the scene details with Lively. (First person narrative)

Approximately seven minutes into the discussion, there seems to be a crucial exchange that might have sparked Lively’s allegation. This dialogue starts when Baldoni inquires, “Are you growing a beard on me?

She chuckles and remarks, “I might be giving you a spray tan,” to which he responds, “It smells great,” and they both share a laugh.

Lively then tells him: ‘Well it’s not that, it’s my body makeup.’

With the crowd bursting into applause, Baldoni calls out “cut!” and informs them that they’ve captured sufficient footage for a 17-minute clip.

In the concluding shot, where emphasis is placed on their feet, there’s sound of Baldoni saying to Lively, “I’ll let you take charge of this,” to which she objects, explaining that her high heels are not visible due to the glitter.

DailyMail.com has released a sensational video, which surfaced just under five days following Baldoni’s lawsuit and approximately two weeks after the allegation that the actress served the actor and his team legal documents while they were evacuating due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.

In Baldoni’s movie, Lively stands charged with not reading the book the film was adapted from until well into the shooting process, and subsequently coordinating a disparaging media strategy in collaboration with her publicist Leslie Sloane and possibly the New York Times.

In a specific instance, as stated in the court document, Lively allegedly sought to intimidate Baldoni by referencing her well-known spouse Taylor Swift and her comparison to the Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi), and asserting “I have many dragons”.

The actress, along with her associates, are under scrutiny for manipulating text exchanges between Baldoni’s representatives. They allegedly altered these conversations to appear incriminating and suggestive of a malicious smear tactic against her. This alleged alteration resulted in an outpouring of online harassment when the doctored messages were released.

Baldoni’s counterclaim disclosed that on the premiere night of It Ends With Us, both he and his family were compelled to stay in the basement instead of being with Lively in the main room, since she denied him access to the same area as her.
