Here's the amended document (different from the link above): https://dam.tmz.com/document/22/o/2025/02/01/2239f45c1ecb4e1680f278ba9c5c6092.pdf

Justin addresses Blake's claim that he had sex without consent. "In her Complaint, she intentionally misrepresents the story to suggest that Baldoni had engaged in sexual conduct without consent. In fact, it was the other way around. Baldoni was referencing an intimate relationship in which he was the one who did not give consent, not the other way around."

Listen to the Molly McPherson podcast a PP posted. She's a PR guru who breaks down what she believes happened with all of this. Main point she has been saying since last August is RR's hands are all over this.

I just find it weird that no one thinks Blake has her own agency. People either think she is the victim of Baldoni or Reynolds. Maybe, just maybe, she was the main instigator.

Could be. At this stage, if you're team Molly or whatever the "Baldoni victim " is completely out the window as meritless and Blake is either pumped up on her own agency and a villain or RR is behind the scenes pushing this hard. So, perceiving her as lacking agency is kind of a benefit of the doubt kindness that she may be in a shitty marriage to a control freak and not have much say over this. Or maybe she's a terrible person flexing. Could be either.

Some things the amended complaint includes:

—call sheet with the set marked as “closed” for the birthing scene.
—texts from JB to the wellness coach where he reaches out to her regarding probiotics on behalf of BL, who was on antibiotics.
—texts from JB to Nathan where he says why he wanted to do this film: he lost his virginity to his abusive girlfriend in a nonconsensual way. His memories were fuzzy, and at times he blamed himself for the abuse, which is why he depicted the abuse scenes as initially fuzzy in the film but then becoming more clear later on. (He says this is the conversation that BL was referring to when she claimed he “admitted” to assaulting other women.)
—texts from RR to JB where RR is really trying to sell JB on the idea of BL having lots of creative input (texts were initiated by JB—in a “let’s be friends” introduction).

Complaint also alleges that RR told multiple people (JB’s agent, execs, etc.) that JB was a “sexual predator.”

She lied about -everything- and her husband made it worse.

Thanks PP! I'm curious now to go through her complaint and see if anything stands. And I supported her at first.

It’s legit shocking to me. His attorney got the associates on round the clock Red Bull and have now provided an exhibit-dense annotated updated timeline with substantiated point by point refutations of every claim. Maybe more crucially, it is now the more evidenced and more rational conclusion that Lively wanted writing and additional credits and that Baldoni was open and listening the entire time. Accommodating work-life issues. Available for feedback. Running a set not only compliant with EEO concerns but with additional protections.

Blake Lively is a pure liar and so is her husband. There was a post for a series of them trying to get conversation shut down here and now I see why.

So I was neutral in the beginning but have been suspicious of BL for a while. The evidence seems overwhelming that BL is lying about most things in her complaint. Is there any chance legally that JB’s attorney would be allowing this info to come out if it’s not legit?

Fabricated? very unlikely. But of course it’s all organized to be persuasive for Baldoni’s side and they could have left unfavorable details out. That said … the narrative really casts doubt on BL.

This crash and burn is glorious. Couldn’t happen to two more obnoxious and deserving narcissists. Ryan will probably divorce the middle aged mean girl like the ruthless social climber he is.

I wrote the above post with the summary of how I read the amended complaint. I think it’s pretty safe to say that JB was trying to help her get probiotics (not fat shame her). But, in the light most favorable to her,

(1) maybe BL misinterpreted that incident based on how the lady represents herself online;
(2) maybe others were allowed onto the closed set;
(3) maybe RR is BL’s biggest cheerleader and totally believe BL’s recollection of events and thinks he’s a sexual predator and that he’s helping other women by warning others;
(4) maybe JB made up the story about the nonconsensual abuse after the fact. (I wonder if he’s talked about this anywhere else, given his podcast and book.)

Just trying to be fair about what the complaint actual “proves.” I have my own opinions, like everyone, but a wise person once told me: no matter how flat you make a pancake, it still has two sides.

Personally of the belief that Blake told Ryan same stuff that is in the complaint, and I don’t think any of it is true. He’s finding out with the rest of us. For the sake of their children, hope their marriage is salvagable.

Thank you for the doc!

Question for the litigators. I'm a lawyer but it's been a minute since I've been in law school or interned for a judge..

Is it common today to have all of these annotations, embedded images, and so on in these filings? Back in the day, this stuff might be described in the pleadings, but ultimately be produced in discovery and may need to be verified with an affidavit that it is a true and correct copy of a business record, etc. I don't doubt that any of these documents are real, but it just seems unusual to have all this stuff upfront without it actually being verified, and often including emphasis added (highlighting, red circles). Again, not casting doubt, just wondering how common this is. It feels more like this is targeted to making it easy for the press rather than the court, which is totally understandable.

I guess the technology isn't there yet to embed audio and video clips in the filings, otherwise Baldoni probably would have done that with the video of the dance scene. That seems like it's begging for the judge to make findings of fact rather than addressing the law. No matter how good the proof is that Baldoni attaches (and it is very compelling), the judge isn't really supposed to be looking at that but rather making a legal determination of whether Lively's claims, if true, survive a motion to dismiss.

JB has texts where he discussed the non consensual sex real time

He has talked about the nonconsensual sex, it’s a chapter in his book.
