The clips, which surfaced online, featured multiple takes of Lively and Baldoni performing a dance scene for the romantic drama, where they played Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid, respectively.
The legal letter, addressed to Judge Lewis J. Liman, accuses Baldoniâs lawyer Bryan Freedman of âimproper conductâ in releasing the footage. Livelyâs legal team has responded fiercely, calling the leak further proof of their allegations against Baldoni.
âJustin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning,â they told Page Six.
âThe video shows Mr Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.â
The Standard has contacted Justin Baldoniâs legal reps for comment.

This controversy follows a New York Times exposé titled We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine, which alleges Baldoni and his team orchestrated a campaign to discredit Lively.
According to the piece, this fallout has already cost Baldoni three roles and hundreds of millions in potential earnings.
Sources close to Baldoni, however, insist the gag order following the NYT piece is âgrossly unfair.â One insider claimed the Hollywood star wants âto do is release videos and text messages to prove the allegations are false.â
They also labelled Livelyâs actions as âunbelievable,â accusing her of leading a takedown campaign while simultaneously seeking to silence Baldoniâs defence.
The coupleâs lawyers, however, have hit back hard, accusing Baldoniâs legal team of conducting a âharassing and retaliatory media campaignâ since Livelyâs initial legal complaint in late December as per TMZ.
After Baldoni released the behind-the-scenes footage, Livelyâs representatives highlighted that the scenes in question were entirely improvised and filmed without an intimacy coordinatorâa key detail that underscores their case.
Her legal team claimed none of the intimacy shown in the video was choreographed and that it constituted âunwanted touchingâ without Livelyâs âconsent.â
âJustin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning,â her lawyers said in statement to DailyMail.com.
They claimed that âevery frameâ of the footage corroborates what Lively described in her sexual harassment lawsuit filed last month.

âEvery moment of this was improvised by Mr Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present.
Livelyâs legal team claims her âleaning awayâ from Baldoni during the takes was not acting.
âAny woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Livelyâs discomfort,â they said.
âThey will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.â
Her team added that Baldoni releasing the video to the media is an âunethical attempt to manipulate the publicâ and a âcontinuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign.â
In Livelyâs lawsuit filed last month, Lively claimed Baldoni sexually harassed her during a dance scene by dragging his lips down her neck and telling her âit smells so good.â
The video Baldoni shared shows him nuzzling her neck. At a later point, he asks, âif Iâm getting beard on you.â
Lively laughs and says, âIâm probably getting spray tan on you,â to which he replies âit smells good.â
Lively then says: âWell itâs not that, itâs my body makeup.â
Baldoni shared the footage with DailyMail.com from his production company Wayfarer and his lawyer Bryan Freedman, who has previously said the actor has ânothing to hide.â
After Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment, the New York Times published an article based on her filing that accused him of orchestrating a âsmear campaignâ against her in the media.
