Overview
- A December 30, 2023 text to former WME agent Danny Greenberg shows Baldoni complaining Lively refused a body double, rejected his storyboards, and wanted both actors clothed for a key love scene.
- The exchange appeared in a WME motion seeking to keep portions of summary‑judgment exhibits sealed, though details from the messages have been reported publicly.
- Five days later, on January 4, 2024, Baldoni, Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and studio representatives held an all‑hands meeting to review 17 on‑set protections Lively requested after they were agreed in writing in mid‑November.
- A source close to Lively characterizes the texts as evidence of retaliatory intent after she outlined a hostile work environment, while Baldoni rejects her allegations.
- Lively sued in December 2024 seeking $160 million; Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed in June, with the case now set for a January 22 hearing and a May 18 trial.
