Overview
- Hundreds of 2024 texts and emails were unsealed, drawing in Taylor Swift, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Anna Wintour, and revealing how Lively sought support and described her experience on the film.
- Baldoni’s lawyers urged dismissal by casting Lively’s claims as petty slights, and the judge took the motion under advisement after noting that smaller incidents can still support a harassment claim.
- Depositions and messages from co‑stars and crew surfaced, including Jenny Slate calling the shoot disturbing and Isabela Ferrer objecting to a “hot” comment, while Sony executive Ange Giannetti acknowledged calling Lively a “f---ing terrorist” and said she did not view the cited incidents as HR matters.
- New filings outline alleged on‑set issues Lively cites as part of a pattern, including disputed contact with her trainer about weight, alleged trailer access while she was undressed, and claims of non‑consensual touching during a scene that Baldoni’s side frames as performance.
- Jameela Jamil addressed her unsealed private texts criticizing Lively, saying she was venting in messages that should have remained private and arguing her name was unredacted to cause trouble.
