Audio tapes obtained by the Daily Mail reveal Justin Baldoni's discussions with Blake Lively were he insists she's perfect for the role of Lily Bloom... and why he didn't cast the fan favorite actres…
Baldoni lavished praise on his 'beautiful' costar Lively and told her he 'legit got the chills' upon seeing images of the actress from her costume fittings.
The unearthed recording, obtained by the Daily Mail from court filings in New York, captures Lively speaking candidly to Baldoni in February 2023, months before cameras started rolling.
Newly unsealed text messages, Jameela Jamil's 'suicide bomber' remark, and fan backlash over Ryan Reynolds's 'cringe' email have kept the case in the spotlight.
It's been revealed that Blake Lively made rare remarks about her and husband Ryan Reynolds's controversial 2012 plantation wedding during her It Ends With Us deposition.
Reynolds's email was among the newly unsealed exhibits in his wife Blake Lively's bitter legal battle against her director and co-star Justin Baldoni who helmed the film based on Hoover's novel.
Justin Baldoni urged a judge to dismiss Blake Lively's lawsuit, arguing her harassment claims can't be true because the film was meant to depict a 'steamy' romance.
