Justin Baldoni Strikes Back: Explosive Website Exposes Blake Lively Lawsuit Secrets

BBG News

Justin Baldoni established a personal website to counter the sexual harassment accusations made by Blake Lively.

To give a clear account of what happened, the 41-year-old actor, involved in a legal dispute, decided to provide more insight by publishing a website detailing his revised complaint and a chronology of significant events related to the case, with the intention of fostering transparency for the public.

On a weekend, I made the thrilling choice to unveil my site, and that’s all thanks to a minor adjustment in the legal battle between the star and Lively. You see, he amended his $400 million lawsuit, alleging that she had given The New York Times an early peek at her sexual harassment claim. As a die-hard fan, I simply can’t get enough of these exciting developments!

Attorney Bryan Freedman for Baldoni stated to DailyMail.com that he had updated the lawsuit because a large quantity of fresh evidence has surfaced.

New evidence supports our previous assumptions, indicating that, driven solely by self-interest, Ms. Lively and her team conspired over several months to tarnish reputations using a intricate network of deceit, unfounded accusations, and manipulated secret communications, as Freedman explained further.

I can’t help but exclaim: ‘The persistent online buzz surrounding this case has remarkably illuminated some undeniable truths about The New York Times. It seems crystal clear now that not only was Ms. Lively and her representatives heavily engaged in the orchestrated takedown and slander campaign against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and their teams – but they were the ones who instigated it all!’

This past month, an exclusive report from DailyMail.com revealed that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have increased their attempts to silence Alec Baldwin and his legal team, as detailed in a recent filing.

On Monday, the attorney for the couple penned an urgent plea to the judge, asking for a meeting to discuss their increasing worries about Freedman’s suspected “unlawful behavior outside the court,” which they have labeled as extrajudicial misconduct.

The document references Freedman’s recent TV interviews, along with news about a newly developed site by Baldoni’s group, which plans to tactfully disclose specific papers and conversations exchanged between the two disputing actors.

Last week’s Daily Mail report disclosed that Baldoni’s legal team is currently developing a website centered around the case, providing public access to various raw video clips from the movie. These clips will include any material that aligns with Lively’s initial grievance against the actor.

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

However, the attorney for the couple, Michael Gottlieb, asserts that the website and statements made publicly by Freedman are intended to impact both the court proceedings and public opinion about the case through the use of provocative material.

According to Gottlieb’s statement in the letter, it’s been emphasized that his primary goal is to severely damage Blake Lively’s career by setting up a website to publish carefully chosen documents and correspondence between Ms. Lively and Mr. Baldoni.

The upcoming website claims to publish all unedited WhatsApp, text, and email conversations between Lively and Baldoni, as asserted by Mr. Freedman, but it’s uncertain which messages might be left out due to selective disclosure. This could potentially include communications that Mr. Freedman or his clients may have deleted.

In simpler terms, Gottlieb contends that the website may intentionally omit conversations between Freedman and Baldoni with media outlets. This could make the information on the site inadequate, skewed, and potentially unfair.

Additionally, he suggests that Freedman is trying to portray Lively’s demand for a gag order as an attempt to muzzle them, with the intention of damaging her reputation.

A knowledgeable insider asserted that the site aims to boost openness regarding this matter, while also emphasizing that it won’t feature biased or cherry-picked content.

According to the source who spoke to DailyMail.com on Monday, there will be no selectivity on the website. Instead, they intend to do the complete opposite of what was done before – avoiding any form of selection, cherry-picking, or altering text messages, which is what was reportedly done when providing them to The New York Times.

The initial signs of a disagreement between Lively and Baldoni surfaced as whispers of tension on the set of their domestic abuse drama, which intensified during the promotional period leading up to its release in August.

As stated by Baldoni, the animosity between the two main actors in the movie was so intense that he and his family were relegated to the cinema’s basement for the premiere, at Lively’s behest.

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

Simultaneously, The New York Times published an article stemming from Lively’s court documents, which implicated Baldoni for organizing a malicious publicity campaign against her and highlighted the allegation of harassment as the main focus.

Subsequently, Baldoni filed a defamation suit against The Times, and just recently initiated a legal action against Lively and Reynolds. This action alleges that they misused their celebrity influence to seize Baldoni’s film and endeavor to sabotage his professional career.

Earlier this week, a new development emerged as DailyMail.com published unedited footage of the dance sequence where Lively alleged that Baldoni inappropriately touched her by sniffing her neck and saying: “It smells so good.

In the civil rights lawsuit she submitted last month, the actress argued that no one heard the remark since the love scene was muted and the microphones had been turned off.

However, DailyMail.com disclosed that Baldoni’s audio equipment was functioning, and they obtained a sensational video (exclusively) which includes all three takes. This footage completely debunks Lively’s assertions.

The tapes reveal that the two celebrities had a warm relationship prior to the events that took a turn for the worse. They can be seen laughing and playfully bantering – even teasing Baldoni about the size of his nose, as well as discussing how they enjoy spending time with their partners.

The account provided includes all details of the discussion, specifically noting that the remark about her having an appealing scent stemmed from Lively mentioning her spray tan while shooting a romantic dance scene together.

In a more conversational manner, we could say: Baldoni suggests that he might be growing a beard on Lively, to which she replies that she may be giving him a spray tan instead.

Afterward, he playfully responds “It smells nice” before they both chuckle, and she reveals that the fragrance is actually from her body perfume.

In the montage, Baldoni can be seen affectionately touching Lively’s neck during a scene where they portray lovers. However, their dialogue throughout the scene focuses on technical aspects like lighting and they also discuss their significant others for the majority of the conversation.

The unedited video clip, containing both visual and audio elements, was handed over to DailyMail.com by the actor’s production companies, Wayfarer and Freedman. Previously, they had stated that Baldoni has no secrets to conceal.

The unique footage we’ve captured is part of the latest disclosures unfolding in an ongoing story that started when rumors about backstage tension regarding “It Ends With Us” first surfaced.

Just prior to Christmas, a heated legal dispute erupted between the ex-Gossip Girl and Baldoni, as she filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment against him.

Simultaneously, a report by The New York Times emerged from Lively’s court documents, alleging that he masterminded a defamatory media campaign against her, with the malodorous allegation as its focal point.

In response, Baldoni filed a lawsuit for defamation against The Times, and recently initiated a $400 million lawsuit against actress Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. He alleged that she misused her celebrity influence to take control of his movie and intentionally try to sabotage his career.
