US EditionJustin Baldoni Claims Blake Lively ‘Set up Trap’ with Sex Scene in Unseen Texts
Newly unsealed texts reveal Baldoni accused Lively of refusing a body double for intimate scenes while demanding he use one, highlighting creative control conflicts on the film.
- On Dec. 30, 2023, Justin Baldoni, director and actor, wrote in private messages that Blake Lively, actor and producer, refused a body double, with texts unsealed amid WME's court filings.
- In December 2024, Blake Lively sued Baldoni seeking $160 million, and Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit; the case is scheduled for May 18, 2026.
- Lively rejected Baldoni's storyboards and pushed to keep both actors clothed for the `big love scene`, while postproduction fractured with Shane Reid commissioned for a separate cut and 17 protections requested before filming resumed.
- An in-person January 4, 2024 meeting convened Baldoni, Ryan Reynolds, Sony executives and producers to resolve disputes, while WME asked a court to seal parts of summary-judgment exhibits amid public disclosure debates.
- The dispute's unraveling suggests legal proceedings and public disclosures risk the film's edit/postproduction process and reputations as Justin Baldoni warned the edit would be a major battleground.
