Justin Baldoni has made shocking new allegations against his co-star Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times.
On Friday, January 31, TMZ reported that the director of Five Feet Apart had gathered solid proof to clarify how the trio conspired against him for several months before filing the lawsuit in December.
The American actor and director also mentioned that he is going to update his lawsuit against them for defamation.
In the new documents obtained by the outlet, Baldoni has accused Lively and Reynolds, along with The New York Times (whom Baldoni has sued for publishing a defamatory article against him), of planning to defame him as early as October 31, 2024.
According to Justin Baldoni’s team, those who reviewed the article found “viewing the HTML source code for the article revealed references to a ‘message-embed-generator’ that referred to a date of ‘2024-10-31.'”
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, stated, “The decision to amend our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming amount of new proof that has come to light.”
He added, “This fresh evidence corroborates what we knew all along, that due to purely egotistical reasons Ms. Lively and her entire team colluded for months to destroy reputations through a complex web of lies, false accusations, and the manipulation of illicitly received communications.”
It is worth noting that Justin Baldoni has sued The New York Times for $250 million, and has filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for tarnishing his image and reputation.
