Actor and director Justin Baldoni’s legal team has launched a public website sharing key documents from his ongoing legal dispute with actress Blake Lively.
The site, which went live on Saturday, comes just days before the first court hearing scheduled for Monday in what has become a high-profile case.
The legal battle stems from allegations made by Lively, who co-starred with Baldoni in the 2024 film “It Ends With Us.”
She has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment during the project and subsequent professional retaliation. Baldoni has vehemently denied the claims, asserting that Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, attempted to derail his career by wresting control of his film’s creative direction.
The newly launched website currently hosts two public legal documents: Baldoni’s amended $400 million lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds and a 168-page timeline of events, which has been submitted as an exhibit to support his claims.
“The decision to amend our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming amount of new proof that has come to light,” Baldoni’s attorney, Freedman, stated in a press release on Saturday.
Lively and Reynolds have yet to publicly respond to the website’s release, though their legal team has consistently pushed back against Baldoni’s claims. Last month, Baldoni’s representatives released footage from It Ends With Us, which they argued disproves some of Lively’s allegations. However, her lawyers countered that the footage instead supports Lively’s claims in her original complaint.
In an effort to maintain judicial integrity, Lively’s attorneys have requested media restrictions on Freedman, arguing that his public statements could unfairly influence the case. They have also signaled their intention to seek dismissal of Baldoni’s lawsuit.
While both legal teams are set to appear in New York court on Monday, neither Baldoni nor Lively is expected to attend in person, according to sources familiar with the proceedings. The trial is scheduled for March 2026, leaving ample time for additional legal maneuvers before a resolution is reached.
As the case unfolds, the public release of legal documents signals a strategic move by Baldoni’s team, further amplifying what is already a closely watched Hollywood dispute.
