A lawyer who is not working with Justin Baldoni opened up about the website that he published about his legal battle with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. On Saturday (February 1), the 41-year-old It Ends With Us actor/director made good on his promise to reveal a website that included all of the details and evidence from his lawsuit against the A-list couple. The release came a few days before he and Blake are due in court for their first hearing. It followed him amending his $400 million lawsuit. By releasing the information when he did, a legal expert hypothesized that he might have accomplished two things.

It also revealed an alleged statement that Blake and Ryan wrote for Justin to put out, which he refused. There was even an allegation about Blake leveraging her relationship with Taylor Swift to get her way in one instance.
