Overview
- Court filings on November 13 include a previously unseen one‑minute hospital scene from May 2023 that shows a brief kiss, which Baldoni’s team says was unscripted and initiated by Blake Lively.
- The submission also contains texts Baldoni sent to Rainn Wilson describing a tense January 2024 meeting in New York with Ryan Reynolds, which he says left him emotionally paralyzed.
- Reynolds’ attorney acknowledges Reynolds was upset but disputes that the encounter was an aggressive reprimand, while Lively’s lawyers say the meeting addressed alleged on‑set conduct and that Reynolds attended as her representative.
- Baldoni and Wayfarer have asked Judge Lewis J. Liman for summary judgment, and the court has not ruled on the request.
- Lively continues to pursue claims of sexual harassment and retaliation, denies improvising a kiss, cites evidence of retaliatory efforts in media, and the main trial is scheduled for March 2026 after Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed.
