Justin Baldoni Plans to Publish All His Correspondence With Blake Lively on a Special Website

In a somewhat unprecedented move, Justin Baldoni’s team has upped the ante in his ongoing disagreement with Blake Lively over what happened on the set of It Ends With Us, what transpired leading up to the release of the film, and what, if any, public relations manipulation occurred after it hit theaters: They’re launching a website.

On the same day that Baldoni’s team released raw video footage from the set, his lawyer, Bryan Freedman, and associates told People, “Justin Baldoni and team…have the right to defend themselves with the truth…This is what we will be continuing to show with the upcoming website containing all correspondence as well as relevant videos that quash her claims.”

Instances of sexual harassment, retaliation, and other forms of subtle or overt abuse of power are often difficult to prove. However, in this case, both sides have claimed to have concrete evidence to back up their accusations and defenses, so it will be interesting to see what, exactly, Baldoni believes will “quash” Lively’s allegations.

As of this writing, Team Lively has not responded to the leaked footage or the threat of a website; our last public statement from her side is in reaction to Baldoni’s lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, to which her lawyer responded, “[They] are trying to shift the narrative to Ms. Lively by falsely claiming that she seized creative control and alienated the cast from Mr. Baldoni…while the victim focuses on the abuse, the abuser focuses on the victim. The strategy of attacking the woman is desperate, it does not refute the evidence in Ms. Lively’s complaint, and it will fail.”

That statement also promised, “The evidence will show that the cast and others had their own negative experiences with Mr. Baldoni and Wayfarer. The evidence will also show that Sony asked Ms. Lively to oversee Sony’s cut of the film.” So, more evidence is supposedly forthcoming.

Now the question is, Will it end with this? Yeah, probably not.
