    Justin Baldoni has shared "wild" text messages between himself and Blake Lively on his new website

    The 41-year-old actor and director has launched the site - which also includes a link to an amended version of a defamation and extortion lawsuit he filed against Blake, 37, and her husband Ryan Reynolds,48, as well as the actress' publicist - in the wake of a sensational claim filed by Blake in December 2024 accusing Justin of sexual harassment when they were co-starring in domestic abuse drama 'It Ends With Us'


    Among the messages, Blake allegedly offered a candid and playful view of her on-set persona, writing: "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.. ."

    She was referencing a rooftop scene rewrite for 'It Ends With Us' in April 2023.

    Justin, the director of the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel 'It Ends With Us', reportedly exchanged several texts with Blake throughout 2023, as the film project progressed.

    In one message, he told Blake an intimacy coordinator had been hired for the film, and that they could meet the following week.

    But Blake declined, texting him: "I feel good. I can meet her when we start - thank you though!"

    The duo's interactions continued on a personal level, with Justin recalling a meeting in April 2023 at Blake's New York City apartment, where Blake's husband Ryan and their "mega-celebrity friend", Taylor Swift, 35, were also present.

    Justin described the gathering as one where the group praised Blake's work on the film.

    Throughout the year, Justin and Blake's communication became more casual, with playful banter over text messages.

    In May 2023, he reportedly teased the actress about her character in their movie, sharing: "I like sentimental Blake," to which Lively quipped, "Never met her."

    Justin responded: "I also like a****** Blake... don't worry," - which was followed by Blake's retort, "I've met her. So have my suppositories."

    In June 2023, Blake invited Justin to work on their lines while she was pumping in her trailer, to which he replied: "Copy. Eating with crew and will head that way."

    Blake also alleged Justin launched an orchestrated smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.

    Her lawsuit against him is set to go to trial in March 2026, following her initial filing in New York Federal Court.
