Blake Lively pleads for protections against Justin Baldoni's 'violent, profane, and threatening' messages | The Mary Sue
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have requested a stronger protective order after receiving "violent" text messages.
It seems like the legal skirmish between It Ends With Us co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is just getting started, as Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds have requested a stronger protective order after reportedly receiving a number of âÂÂviolentâ communications.

A new development in the ongoing Baldoni vs. Lively battle suggests that tensions are amping up behind the scenes as even more evidence continues to be brought to light. ThereâÂÂs been a lot of âÂÂhe said, she saidâ between the two parties in recent months, and even more internet speculation about whoâÂÂs in the right here. But with the official trial date well over a year away, I fear this is just the beginning.
For context, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, producer Jamey Heath, and members of BaldoniâÂÂs PR team back in December, in which she accused the It Ends With Us director of sexual harassment, citing incidents in which Baldoni would share explicit details about his sex life unprompted, as well as make comments about LivelyâÂÂs weight. Baldoni then hit back in a countersuit, claiming that Lively and Reynolds intended to smear his image, and wrestled for control of the film even though BaldoniâÂÂs production studio, Wayfarer, held the exclusive rights to the Colleen Hoover source material.
Now, this latest development seems to imply that the It Ends With Us drama is getting even more vile behind closed doors.
On Thursday, February 20, Lively asked for âÂÂadditional protectionsâ against Baldoni on the heels of her Amended Complaint, having submitted a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman requesting a stronger PO than the courtâÂÂs âÂÂmodelâ one, per People. Their request comes after Lively & Co. allegedly received a number of âÂÂthreateningâ text messages from âÂÂanonymous partiesâ seemingly within the pro-Baldoni camp.
The letter reads: âÂÂAs detailed in Ms. LivelyâÂÂs Amended Complaint, Ms. Lively, her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications.âÂÂ
In response, BaldoniâÂÂs legal team wrote in a statement: âÂÂâÂÂWe do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation. Anyone receiving violent messages by anonymous parties is abhorrent. When private parties were wrongfully accused by Lively and her paid team of wrongdoing, they received continuous death threats and visits to private homes where young children reside. No one should have to face that, especially private parties who do not have means for security detail.âÂÂ
Given the sheer amount of text messages and other receipts that have been made public so far, itâÂÂs not exactly surprising that Reynolds and Lively would want increased protections in the throes of this highly-publicized legal dogfight. ItâÂÂs also worth noting that the couple filed an âÂÂAttorneyâÂÂs Eyes Onlyâ document which applies to âÂÂConfidential Discovery Materialâ in the letter, signaling that all of this will (hopefully) end where it shouldâÂÂve from the start: in court. Either way, we still have a ways to go until Lively and BaldoniâÂÂs trial kicks off, and only time will tell if each party can reach a settlement agreement before this gets even more ugly.
