Justin Baldoni alleged that Blake Lively attempted to "trap" him during the production of their film "It Ends With U," according to newly unsealed text messages revealed in an ongoing lawsuit related to the film. As reported by the Daily Mail, legal documents filed by Justin's management agency, WME, in court on Monday revealed a series of messages expressing his exhaustion with making the film alongside Blake.
On December 30, 2023, the 41-year-old actor told his former WME agent, Danny Greenberg, that he had experienced a "really, really bad week" while directing the film due to creative conflicts with Blake. Justin informed his former agent that the "Gossip Girl" actress had contacted him to try to schedule a private meeting at her home in New York City. The "Not Today" star mentioned that the discussion would likely revolve around the filming of several sex scenes in the movie because Blake had 'refused' to use a body double for the intimate exchanges on camera.
In June 2025, Thomas Canestraro, who served as Justin's body double, told the publication that he felt "discomfort from everybody" while working on "It Ends With Us."
For those unaware, Blake filed a lawsuit against Justin and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, in December 2024, citing claims of sexual harassment, retaliation, and a purported smear campaign aimed at ruining her career.
