The lengthy video showed three takes of the pair filming a dance scene for the romantic drama. Baldoni and Lively played characters Ryle Kincaid and Lily Bloom in the 2024 film based on Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name. The letter sent to Judge Lewis J. Liman, refers to the raw clips and accuses Baldoni’s primary lawyer Bryan Freeman of ‘improper conduct’.

Lively’s team also responded to the release, labelling it as further evidence of her allegations. ‘Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning,’ they told Page Six.
‘The video shows Mr Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.’.

Sources close to Baldoni believe it’s grossly unfair to impose a gag order after the New York Times article detailing what they say has cost him three jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars. The publication’s feature ‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine included the allegations that Baldoni and his team set out to try to create a negative portrayal of Lively.
