Blake Lively Labels Justin Baldoni ‘Doofus’ and ‘Clown’ in Unsealed Texts to Taylor Swift

Unsealed court documents expose private text messages from Blake Lively to Taylor Swift that contain harsh criticism of Justin Baldoni. The exchanges occurred amid tensions on the set of ‘It Ends With Us’, where Baldoni served as director and co-star. Lively’s words paint a picture of deep frustration with Baldoni’s conduct and creative input.

Lively described Baldoni as ‘this doofus director of my movie’ who ‘thinks he’s a writer now’. She accused him of ‘making s— up about me and lenses’. In another message, Lively referenced Baldoni ‘referring to yourself as my doll’.

She called him a ‘clown’ who was ‘falling for all of it’ while ‘also resisting it’. Lively shared these recollections with Swift, adding details she kept remembering. The texts highlight specific grievances Lively held against Baldoni during production.

Swift responded to Lively’s messages with strong support. She told Lively, ‘I’ll do anything for you !!’ Lively praised Swift as ‘the worlds absolute greatest friend ever’.

After a key meeting, Lively described her actions as ‘so epically heroic’. She informed Swift that she ‘recapped every moment’ to her husband Ryan Reynolds. These details underscore the personal nature of Lively’s outreach during the project’s challenges.

The revealed texts surface within a protracted legal conflict between Lively and Baldoni. Lively filed complaints accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on set. She also alleged he led a coordinated smear campaign against her.

Baldoni responded with a countersuit against Lively and Reynolds. The suit claimed civil extortion, defamation, breach of contract, and invasion of privacy. A judge dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit.

Baldoni’s legal team sought to subpoena Swift as part of the case. The request was denied. Swift maintains no direct involvement in the film or the litigation.

The unsealed messages offer a glimpse into the interpersonal dynamics that fueled the dispute. Lively’s direct language toward Baldoni contrasts with public narratives from the project’s release. The documents add layers to the ongoing fallout from ‘It Ends With Us’.
