Justin Baldoni Accuses Blake Lively of Setting Trap in Unsealed Texts
Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively worked together on a movie called 'It Ends With Us'.
They are now in a big legal fight.
Some private messages were recently made public.
In these messages, Justin says Blake tried to set a trap for him.
They had arguments about how to film intimate scenes and about working conditions.
Blake's team says Justin was angry because she wanted safety measures.
There was also a fight where Ryan Reynolds cried because he thought Justin was being mean to Blake.
The next court hearing is in January, and the trial is in May.
It seems like this fight isn't going to end soon.
Justin Baldoni accused Blake Lively of 'setting a trap' in unsealed texts during their legal battle.
Disputes over intimate scenes and on-set boundaries escalated tensions on the set of 'It Ends With Us'.
Baldoni claimed Lively refused to use a body double and rejected his storyboards for key scenes.
Lively's team argues that the texts show Baldoni's retaliatory intent over agreed-upon safety measures.
The legal battle includes allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, and a hostile work environment.
