Blake Lively’s Instagram Spammed with Porn as Lawsuit with Justin Baldoni Intensifies

February 1, 2025

During the course of her ongoing legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively’s Instagram account became flooded with explicit content.

Originally appearing on Gossip Girl at age 40, this individual decided to keep a low profile amidst a widely discussed legal dispute – chose to file a lawsuit in December alleging that Baldoni had subjected her to sexual harassment and orchestrated a defamatory campaign against her.

The actor who starred alongside her in “The Ends of Us” and directed the movie has since filed a revised lawsuit worth $400 million, targeting both the actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Additionally, Justin is also pursuing a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times.

More recently, during the chaos of the legal disputes, Lively’s Instagram was filled with explicit content that has subsequently been removed, as reported by TMZ.

According to a reliable source, the Hollywood celebrity was first unaware of the incident, but has since updated the security measures on their account.

At first glance, the posts were overlooked because they were categorized under the tagged section on her profile, a feature that enables others to tag Blake.

In some cases, specific conditions could have prevented the occurrence, but it appears Lively lacked those specific precautions initially; however, changes have since been made to address this issue.

In simple terms, Daniel Roberts from Meta explained the situation to TMZ, stating, “We firmly disapprove of such cyberbullying.

I’m relentlessly ensuring that content which breaches our guidelines is being taken down and I’ll keep a vigilant eye out for any more rule-breaking posts.

It remains unclear as to whom Blake’s account was aimed at, nor is it certain when explicit content began appearing on her tagged page.

However, her husband Ryan Reynolds’ Instagram page has appeared to be left untouched.

The spam attack happened during the actress’s ongoing court dispute with Justin Baldoni, a conflict that started towards the end of last year when she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.

She submitted a 80-page civil rights complaint with the California Civil Rights Department on December 20, just before Christmas, and followed it by filing a federal lawsuit on New Year’s Eve.

On December 21st, an article entitled “Burial of Reputations: Unveiling the Inner Workings of a Hollywood Defamation Network” was published by The Times.

In an interview with the publication, Lively stated, ‘I’m hoping my lawsuit will expose the underhanded strategies used to punish those who expose wrongdoing and provide protection for others who might face similar situations.’

Later on, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against the newspaper for $250 million, alleging defamation regarding the article published on December 21st.

In the middle of January, lawyers for Baldoni sent out letters asking several figures in the entertainment industry to protect any evidence related to allegations that Reynolds created a character called Nicepool in Deadpool 2 with the intention of mocking and embarrassing Baldoni. This was meant to suggest that Reynolds wrote this character as a parody or joke at Baldoni’s expense.

On January 16th, I found myself in the unfortunate position of filing a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane. The accusations they’ve made against me have resulted in defamation and extortion charges.

Baldoni told the court the trio had concocted ‘false accusations of sexual harassment’ against him.

After the submission of Lively’s grievance, Baldoni has encountered several career ramifications. These include a legal action initiated by a previous publicist, as well as being let go by the agency, WME, which also manages Lively and Reynolds.

Additionally, Justin has updated his $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively by asserting that she collaborated with The New York Times over a period of several months.

Users on social media have noted that an embedded message generator, dated October 31, 2024, appeared in the article’s underlying code. This was roughly two months prior to the story’s actual publication date.

The updated lawsuit suggests the possibility that The New York Times inadvertently added a feature for inserting text messages into their articles during regular software updates.

After six weeks, I unexpectedly found a golden chance to demonstrate this novel graphic tool in an article that heavily utilized biased and manipulated text messages.

However, a more straightforward interpretation might be: ‘It appears they started drafting their potentially damaging article about the event as early as October 31, 2024.’

‘We will create an eye-catching, advanced text module for the article, where we’ll showcase manipulated and decontextualized text messages that have been highlighted at the center of the content.’

Or:

‘For the article, we plan to develop a striking, modern text display module with a focus on displaying altered and context-lacking text messages, which will be prominently featured in the piece.’

The revised document further clarifies: ‘It might appear logical, even commendable, for a media outlet to devote several weeks or months to craft an alleged investigative piece prior to its release.’

However, the importance of when these parts of the defamatory article were published is that they potentially removed the legal protections, like litigation privilege and fair reporting privilege, which Lively, The Times, and other Lively Parties might have used to justify their harmful acts of defamation.

The revised defamation case now encompasses a chronology that stretches back to January 2019, marking the time Baldoni initially contacted Colleen Hoover with the aim of adapting her book “It Ends With Us.

Additionally, interactions like talks between Lively and Reynolds, along with further deliberations regarding the movie production and progression, are also encompassed in these communications.

On Thursday earlier this week, both Blake and Ryan conveyed their plan to petition a federal court for dismissal of the suit that Baldoni had filed at the beginning of this month.

According to a report by Variety, based on reviewed legal documents, attorney Michael Gottlieb stated that the Lively-Reynolds parties aim to discard the Plaintiffs’ claim in a letter addressed to Judge Lewis Liman.

Judge Liman earlier asked the legal representatives to compose a brief statement that clearly expresses the Defendant’s intention to submit a request for dismissal.

According to reports, it’s anticipated that the judge will set a due date for them to submit their paperwork regarding the request.

As an ardent admirer, I felt compelled to share that on this very day, much like a beacon lighting up the courthouse, Leslie Sloane, the publicist for both Lively and Reynolds, submitted a mirror image of her previous statement to the honored court. This action was also mentioned in Baldoni’s lawsuit, where he named her as one of the defendants.

The initial court hearing for the series of lawsuits regarding the creators of this summer’s success will take place on Monday, February 3, beginning with a pre-trial meeting.

As reported by Variety, the conference has been moved forward from its original schedule on February 12, to a date that precedes the trial scheduled for March 9, 2026 in this particular case.

According to the report, lawyers from both sides agreed on a strategy to merge the two federal cases they’re handling into one single case going forward.

The legal team of Lively and Reynolds is petitioning the court to impose a ‘silence order’ (or gag order) on attorney Bryan Freedman from Baldoni, preventing him from making further out-of-court comments.

This week, playful messages between Justin and Blake were uncovered in an examination by DailyMail.com, based on numerous court documents.
