Director Justin Baldoni has launched a website to counter Blake Lively's claims against him. On February 1, the website thelawsuitinfo.com went live, featuring two important documents.

The website (at the time of writing) includes two PDFs:
'Amended Complaint' (224 pages): Details Baldoni and his production company’s grievances against Lively.
'Timeline of Relevant Events' (168 pages): Tracks events from January 2019, when Baldoni first approached author Colleen Hoover about adapting It Ends With Us into a film.
Baldoni's legal team had previously mentioned the website, stating that he and his team have the right to defend themselves by presenting the truth. They promised the website would include all relevant correspondence and videos that directly challenge Blake Lively's claims.
TMZ reported that Lively and Reynolds tried to get a court order to stop the website from launching, claiming it was harassment and retaliation. However, their attempt was unsuccessful, and the site is still live.
Lively's legal team previously dismissed the website, calling it an attempt to silence and intimidate her. They compared Baldoni's actions to DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), a tactic often used by those accused of misconduct.
Lively’s lawyers stated that this is a familiar scenario where a woman presents evidence, and the accused tries to change the narrative. They also accused Baldoni of using the resources of his production company to launch a media campaign against her.
On January 16, Baldoni and his production company filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her publicist Leslie Sloan, and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. He claims they conspired with the media to damage his reputation and cites metadata from a New York Times article indicating months of coordination between Lively, Reynolds, and the publication.
