Justin Baldoni’s lawyer has launched a public website containing documents pertaining to the actor and director’s legal battle with actress Blake Lively. The website posted on Saturday, two days ahead of the first court hearing in the highly publicized case, which is set for Monday. Baldoni and Lively, who costarred in the 2024 film “It Ends With Us,” have been sparring over Lively’s accusations of sexual harassment against Baldoni on the project and subsequent professional retaliation. Baldoni has denied Lively’s allegations, claiming that she and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, actually sought to destroy his career after hijacking the creative direction of his film. So far, the website contains two public documents, which have already been filed in court: Baldoni’s amended $400 million complaint against Lively and Reynolds, plus a 168-page “timeline of relevant events,” which was filed as an additional exhibit to Baldoni’s amended complaint. “The decision to amend our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming amount of new proof that has come to light,” Freedman told CNN in a statement on Saturday. CNN has also reached out to representatives for Lively and Reynolds regarding the website.
