Blake Lively Voice Message Sent to Justin Baldoni Unsealed in Court Documents

The voice memo reveals Lively's stress over back-to-back filming after childbirth and her request to keep the message private amid their ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit.

  • On Jan. 29, 2026, newly unsealed court exhibits revealed a private voice memo Blake Lively sent Justin Baldoni on Feb. 8, 2023, weeks before production began.
  • Lively said she was overwhelmed by back-to-back schedules and childcare gaps, juggling Proxy and a newborn without full baby nurse support, as the timeline was set soon after Olin's birth.
  • Framing it as a private plea, Lively called Baldoni a 'friend' and stressed she wasn’t making demands in the nearly 5-minute voice memo, requesting the private request be kept between them.
  • Lively sued Baldoni in late 2024, and her lawyer said, "As we head to trial, only Ms. Lively's claims against the defendants remain," with their trial scheduled for May 18, 2026.
  • Among the unsealed exhibits, private exchanges show messages involving Taylor Swift, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, while filings allege Wayfarer tried to 'bury' complaints with testimony from numerous women eyewitnesses.
