Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Legal Drama Exposed in Unsealed Documents
It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover found herself in the middle of a legal showdown between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, as revealed in unsealed documents.
In the documents, Hoover and her friend Taryn Fisher were involved in a group chat with Lively, discussing Baldoni’s viral proposal video to his wife, Emily, in June 2024. They joked that the clip inspired a sequel to It Ends With Us called It Starts With Us.
According to the texts, Lively agreed with Fisher’s description of Baldoni as a “sociopath.” In another message, Lively expressed frustration with Baldoni’s behavior on set, stating that she had given him numerous opportunities to improve.
“He just keeps behaving like a rabid pig,” Lively lamented in a text. Hoover sympathized with Baldoni but also expressed her frustration, noting that he seemed to lack any sense of guilt for his actions.
Hoover also shared a text message she sent to Lively, where she criticized Baldoni for wanting to credit himself multiple times on the movie poster. She suggested that Lively should be the sole focus on the poster, highlighting her contributions to the film.
In July 2024, Hoover wrote a letter to Sony addressing the issues on the set of It Ends With Us. She expressed discomfort with the situation and emphasized that her priority was not her own comfort but resolving the ongoing conflicts.
The unfolding legal drama between Lively, Baldoni, and Hoover sheds light on the challenges and tensions that can arise behind the scenes of a film production. As the situation continues to develop, it remains to be seen how the parties involved will navigate the complexities of their professional relationships.
