It doesn’t end.
Justin Baldoni’s team teased the launch of a new website meant to “directly quash” Blake Lively’s sexual harassment claims.
“Justin and team have the right to defend themselves with the truth,” the actor’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told Us Weekly in a statement Tuesday after releasing a behind-the-scenes video of the co-stars filming an “It Ends With Us” scene.
“This is what we will be continuing to show with the upcoming website containing all correspondence as well as relevant videos,” the attorney added.
Lively’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
However, on Tuesday, her legal team notably blasted Baldoni, 40, for releasing the 10 minutes of raw footage.
“Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning,” the actress’ attorneys wrote, claiming it “corroborates” her claims.

“The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character,” they continued.
The statement pointed out Lively, 37, “leaning away and repeatedly asking” for her and Baldoni’s respective characters, Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid, to “talk” rather than get intimate.
“Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort,” her team alleged. “They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching.”
The “Gossip Girl” alum referenced the moment in her December 2024 sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni.
She also accused him of engaging in a social media smear campaign, with her lawyers claiming that Tuesday’s video release was a “continuation” of his alleged “manufactured media stunts.”
Lively doubled down on her claims when she officially sued Baldoni in New York federal court last month.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum made headlines for suing Lively for $400 million last week, which her team called “another chapter in the abuser playbook.”
Baldoni’s team clapped back at that notion, labeling it “preposterous.”
The Wayfarer Studios co-creator also took legal action against the New York Times for their coverage of Lively’s complaint — although the outlet is standing by their “meticulous” reporting.
The “Man Enough” podcast co-host is currently vacationing with his wife, Emily Baldoni, and their two kids — daughter Maiya, 9, and son Maxwell, 7.
Baldoni broke his silence on his and Lively’s legal drama while flying out of Los Angeles International Airport Friday, telling TMZ he is leaning on “friends and family and faith.”
His and Lively’s movie, based on Colleen Hoover’s “It Ends With Us” novel, came out in August 2024.
The project’s premiere immediately sparked feud rumors when Baldoni did not pose on the red carpet with his fellow cast members, with him later claiming to have been “held” in a basement after an attempt to ban him.
