Transcript

00:00That's the kiss that Justin Baldoni claims Blake Lively repeatedly improvised

00:13in a deleted scene from their 2024 movie It Ends With Us. It's all the new court

00:19docs filed on November 10th by Team Justin, along with text messages

00:23detailing a tense meeting with Ryan Reynolds. And Page Six has the full

00:27breakdown right here. In the new legal filing by Wayfarer Studios, Baldoni's

00:32attorneys alleged Lively added this scene to the script in which her character

00:36kissed Baldoni's character in every take, although there was no kiss in the script.

00:41In the minute-long footage from May 2023, Lively's character Lily makes an unexpected

00:46stop by the hospital where her husband Ryle works. The scene shines new light on their

00:52on-set dynamic. It all goes back to December 2024. Lively sued her co-star

00:57and director, Baldoni, for alleged sexual harassment and retaliation. In her original

01:02complaint, she accused him of alleged improvised physical intimacy that had

01:07not been rehearsed, choreographed, or discussed with Ms. Lively. That lawsuit

01:11opened up a can of worms for the both of them. He denied any wrongdoing and hit back

01:15with a $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds the

01:20following month, although it was later thrown out by the judge. After a January

01:242024 meeting between Lively and Reynolds as well as producers, Wayfarer agreed to

01:29employ an intimacy coordinator and stated that there would be no more improvising

01:34of kissing. However, newly submitted text messages from that time show a

01:38different side to the story. Baldoni wrote that he was emotionally paralyzed

01:42after being ambushed by Reynolds at the couple's New York City apartment. In a text to

01:47The Office actor Rainn Wilson, he wrote,

01:49Ryan was talking to me like a five-year-old and scolding me. They essentially said that

01:53Jamie Heath and I are not who we claim to be and that for us to have a podcast is unsafe because it

01:59makes people feel like we are safe. According to People Mag, Baldoni claimed Reynolds listed

02:04allegations from a phone about creepy behavior and claiming filming the movie was the worst

02:09experience of Blake's life. Baldoni texted this to his friend,

02:12My brain was struggling because what I wanted to say and do was run and blow this whole movie up

02:17because I feel this was so unjust. And yet the only path forward was to acknowledge her and Ryan's

02:23feelings and apologize and take the wrath of an angry husband. Yeah, I couldn't even do that

02:29correctly. I prayed and prayed and prayed for the words and they didn't come. So I felt abandoned by

02:35God in that moment, even though I know that's not what happened. The latest court documents also

02:40revealed in text how the author of It Ends With Us, Colleen Hoover, felt about getting caught in the

02:46middle. She called it so upsetting and ridiculous that it made everyone look immature and that it

02:52turned into a huge mess. You can say that again.
