Justin Baldoni accused Blake Lively of "setting [him] up for a trap" during the making of It Ends With Us.
The pair locked in a bitter legal battle over conduct during the making of the romantic drama, and newly-unsealed private messages between the actor-and-director and his former agent Danny Greenberg of William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME) revealed a dispute over the filming of intimate scenes.
According to documents obtained by People magazine, Justin texted the agent on 30 December, 2023, complaining of a "really, really bad week" dealing with Blake, and told how she had contacted him directly to suggest a private meeting at the home she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds and their children.
The 41-year-old actor then claimed his co-star had "refused" to use a body double for sex scenes but insisted one took his place, prompting Sony executives and producer Todd Black to step in.
He wrote: “That’s just setting me up for a trap."
Justin also alleged the 38-year-old actress had rejected his storyboards for the scenes and wanted to keep both actors fully clothed during what he saw as a key moment in the film.
He wrote: “If you know the book, it’s just ridiculous."
