Overview
- In a Dec. 30, 2023 text to former WME agent Danny Greenberg, Baldoni wrote that Lively had refused to use a body double for her sex scenes and pressed for one to replace him.
- He also said she rejected his storyboards and pushed to keep both actors clothed, prompting involvement by Sony executives and producer Todd Black.
- The exchange surfaced in a WME filing asking the court to keep portions of summary‑judgment exhibits sealed as private internal communications.
- A source close to Lively contends the texts came after she detailed a hostile set environment and argues they show retaliatory intent.
- The civil case continues with Lively’s December 2024 lawsuit proceeding after Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed; a hearing is set for Jan. 22 and a trial for May 18.
