Justin Baldoni launched a website dedicated to defending himself against Blake Lively’s sexual harassment allegations.

The new site, which was first reported by TMZ, links to an amended version of the $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit he filed against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and the actress’ publicist, Leslie Sloane, on Jan. 16.

It also links to a 168-page document detailing a timeline of relevant events related to the case.

It includes never-before-seen texts, emails and other messages Baldoni allegedly exchanged with Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, throughout the filming process for “It Ends With Us.”

Among the newly released messages is one from April 2023, in which Lively — while discussing a rewrite of the rooftop scene — allegedly wrote to Baldoni: “if you knew me (in person) longer you’d have a sense of how flirty and yummy the ball busting will play. It’s my love language. Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth….”

Another text from February 2023 shows the “Deadpool” star, 48, allegedly texting Baldoni: “I’m excited for you to work together. I’m excited for Blake to crack open her creative piggy bank with someone as dynamic as you. This is gonna be INCREDIBLE. I happen to adore you, Justin.”

Reps for Lively, Reynolds and Baldoni did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

It appears Baldoni is hitting back at several of Lively’s claims on the site as he also included screenshots of alleged correspondence with the film’s intimacy coordinator.

He also shared texts showing his alleged attempts to address Lively’s claims that he made her feel “uncomfortable” while working together with sexually suggestive comments and remarks about her postpartum body.

Lively initially filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department on Dec. 20, alleging that Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of the film.

She also claimed the actor and director then launched an orchestrated smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.

The “A Simple Favor” star filed a formal lawsuit against Baldoni on Dec. 31 in New York Federal Court.

The site comes after Lively and Reynolds requested a gag order for Baldoni’s attorney, Brian Freedman, who the couple argued was likely to “taint a potential jury” with his remarks regarding the legal case.

Their case is currently set for a March 2026 trial date.

All parties are expected to attend the first hearing on Monday.
