What more details regarding the conversation between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were revealed on the latter’s newly launched website?

The website includes email and text exchanges between Baldoni and Lively, which Baldoni claims have been taken out of context in the ongoing legal dispute. Specific conversations highlighted on the site show Lively communicating with Baldoni in ways that Baldoni's team believes contradict her public allegations.

As per Justin Baldoni’s newly launched website, while discussing the rooftop scene with Baldoni, Blake Lively sent him a text in April 2023 in which she allegedly wrote:

“if you knew me (in person) longer you’d have a sense of how flirty and yummy the ball busting will play. It’s my love language. Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth….”

Ahead of their first day of filming, Lively allegedly messaged Baldoni to say she was,

“grateful for all [they had] built so far.”

She allegedly added,

“I’m excited to start tomorrow. But it’s only one piece of the journey. We started months ago,” via an email, according to the filings.

These messages have become pivotal in the ongoing legal conflict. Baldoni claimed that Lively "cherry-picked" messages out of context in her original complaint.

Another report indicated that the cause of the rife resulted from “fat-shaming” of Lively, inappropriate comments, and Baldoni kissing her too long during scenes. Countering it, Baldoni reportedly filed a $250 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and The New York Times, in which his legal team accused Reynolds of “aggressively berating” Baldoni.

"Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, had aggressively berated Baldoni during a meeting at their penthouse in New York, accusing him of 'fat shaming' Lively. Baldoni, in an effort to avoid further confrontation with Lively and Reynolds and rebuild rapport with his co-star, continued to bend to her will." The suit stated.

The lawsuit explained that Baldoni did ask her about her weight but it was a

“reasonable inquiry into crucial information needed to ensure safety and avoid injury in a scene."

According to a report in People, a pre-trial conference about the ongoing legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni will be held on Monday, February 3, 2025.
