Justin Baldoni<\/a> has shared more text messages he says are from his\u00a0It Ends With Us<\/em><\/a> co-star Blake Lively<\/a> and her husband, Ryan Reynolds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The text messages were released on a website, titled The Lawsuit Info,<\/a> created to help defend himself against Lively\u2019s sexual harassment allegations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the new website, published on Sunday, Baldoni, 41, also shared an amended complaint in his case against Lively, Reynolds, Lively\u2019s PR firm and the New York Times, as well as a 168-page document entitled \u201cTimeline of relevant events\u201d related to the case and the production of the film.<\/p>\n

Baldoni sued his co-star<\/a> Lively, 37, and her husband, Reynolds, 48, for defamation earlier this month. Baldoni\u2019s suit seeks at least US$400 million in damages that include lost future income. That lawsuit came the same day<\/a>\u00a0that Baldoni sued the New York Times for libel, alleging the paper worked with Lively to smear him.<\/p>\n

The timeline includes emails and text messages that were allegedly sent leading up to and during the filming of the movie. Many of the text messages have been previously shared in court documents, but some of them are new.<\/p>\n

In one of the newly released text messages, sent on April 8, 2023, about the It Ends With Us <\/em>rooftop scene mentioned in Baldoni\u2019s seven-minute-long voice message<\/a>, Lively allegedly wrote to Baldoni, \u201cI can send you my pass at the roof or just read w[ith] you when we get together next week.\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cLemme know what you prefer \ud83d\ude42 if you knew me (in person) longer you\u2019d have a sense of how flirty and yummy the ball busting would play. It\u2019s my love language. Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth,\u201d the text continued. \u201cAnd him serving it back to her is just as important. You don\u2019t usually see both the man AND the woman with such agency and humor. Anyway, I can act it out for you next week to make sure it comes through. Or I can send now. Lemme know what you prefer. Xx.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baldoni\u2019s team also uploaded screenshots of text messages that they allege are between the\u00a0Jane The Virgin\u00a0<\/em>actor and Reynolds.<\/p>\n

The texts are dated February 2023 and show Baldoni introducing himself to Reynolds. The Deadpool\u00a0<\/em>star responds with a message about his excitement for\u00a0It Ends With Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited for you to work together,\u201d Reynolds allegedly wrote. \u201cI\u2019m excited for Blake to crack open her creative piggy bank with someone as dynamic as you. This is gonna be INCREDIBLE\u2026 I happen to adore you, Justin.\u201d<\/p>\n
