00:00What Justin Baldoni really said about Blake Lively's body might have you confused.

00:04Blake Lively is not being honest in her lawsuit.

00:07This is serious stuff.

00:09There's so many different versions of events circling around the internet right now.

00:13Justin Baldoni's team launched a new website featuring an amended legal complaint.

00:17We've been talking for months about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's behind-the-scenes

00:22drama on It Ends With Us, but now there's a brand new angle that has fans scratching their heads.

00:28As for claims in Blake's lawsuit that he fat-shamed her after the birth of her fourth baby...

00:34Did Justin truly talk poorly about Blake after she had her fourth baby,

00:38or was something else going on?

00:40According to the latest text messages Justin just spilled online,

00:44he insists he only asked Blake's trainer about her size so he could safely lift her for a specific

00:49scene.

00:50Nothing malicious.

00:52He claims Ryan Reynolds blew up on him over it, and that's basically how the entire conflict

00:57ignited.

00:58Meanwhile, Blake's suit portrays it differently, alleging the health coach he recommended

01:03was actually a sneaky move to push for her to reduce her size.

01:06Baldoni also claimed to make a good-faith inquiry about Blake's weight to her personal trainer.

01:11So which version do we believe?

01:13Obviously, the words associated with this topic sets alarms off for everyone.

01:17But according to Justin, the conversation was innocent enough.

01:21He says he was dealing with bulging discs in his back and needed to train for a specific

01:26stunt lift.

01:27So he discreetly asked the trainer,

01:29How heavy is Blake?

01:30That might be no big deal in a normal situation.

01:33But in this particular powder keg, it apparently sparked a whole fiasco,

01:38with Ryan cussing him out like he'd committed a huge betrayal.

01:42The big question is whether Blake herself was genuinely offended or if Ryan was overprotective.

01:48Also, how do we explain the text messages where Justin hypes up Blake,

01:52telling her she'll look amazing and not to worry about her postpartum figure?

01:57It's messy for sure.

01:58But let's dive deeper into the timeline that Justin just unleashed on us.

02:02In these newly leaked text messages, Justin actually comes off supportive.

02:07One conversation reveals Blake worried about filming love scenes

02:11so soon after giving birth to her fourth baby, Olin,

02:14and wanting to push them to the end of the shoot.

02:16Justin responded with reassurance,

02:19I want you to know you will look amazing.

02:21You don't need to stress about your body.

02:24That doesn't exactly scream shame.

02:27He even said he'd be up for working with her to modify any scenes if she felt uncomfortable.

02:32She agreed that she was used to training for roles, like an athletic event,

02:36but felt she needed more time to lose extra baby size.

02:39Reading those lines, it appears they had a friendly rapport,

02:43like a well-meaning director and actress trying to navigate postpartum realities.

02:47Yet the suit claims Justin later improvised scenes involving gratuitous content,

02:52making her feel uneasy about her physique.

02:55If that's true, maybe we see a mismatch between the nice texts and the real on-set energy.

03:00Or perhaps the lines got crossed somewhere.

03:03The internet is left baffled by these opposing stories.

03:06Some fans say, so Justin's encouraging, while Blake's the one bringing up size issues.

03:12Others argue that kind texts can mask deeper tensions.

03:15I mean, texts never really convey tone,

03:18so it can be hard to read them how the sender intended in the first place.

03:21Right?

03:22Where things took a sharper turn in the Justin and Blake drama

03:25is apparently when Justin privately asked Blake's trainer, Don Saladino, about her size.

03:30According to the newly revealed texts,

03:33Justin wanted a precise figure so he could tailor his workouts,

03:36train his back muscles properly, and avoid injury when lifting her.

03:40He claims it was all in good faith, given he was new to such stunts and had a bad back.

03:46Yet soon after, he says he was summoned to Blake and Ryan's apartment,

03:49only to face Ryan screaming about Justin asking about his wife's size.

03:54The whole thing apparently left Justin apologizing repeatedly, feeling blindsided.

03:59From Blake's perspective, or at least from what the suit suggests,

04:03any talk of size or postpartum body was not Justin's business.

04:07And to be fair, you can see how that might feel invasive if you're a new mom dealing with changes.

04:12Still, Justin's text logs show him working closely with the same trainer

04:17for his own workout routine, which was recommended by Blake in the first place.

04:21So was he crossing lines or just trying to figure out how to do that tricky lift scene?

04:27The conflicting viewpoints might never be fully resolved outside of the ruling,

04:31but it's definitely got fans picking sides.

04:34If you believe Justin Baldoni's version, he recommended a health coach to Blake

04:38because she was battling strep throat and had multiple rounds of antibiotics,

04:43messing up her gut health.

04:44She responded enthusiastically, basically saying,

04:48yes, hook me up, but in Blake's complaint, that same incident appears as

04:52Justin connecting me with a specialist, implying it was a subtle hint for her to drop some of her size.

04:58The text records from March 2023 show Blake cheerfully thanking him,

05:03praising the coach, and talking about how helpful it was.

05:07So if there was any sinister motive, it's not obvious from the messages.

05:11Critics of Blake's stance argue that maybe she's rewriting the story to bolster her other claims.

05:16But other people think a woman can be polite in texts, yet still feel pressured behind the scenes.

05:22We all know not every complaint about workplace mistreatment is spelled out in iMessage.

05:27Sometimes you play nice outwardly but resent it deep down.

05:30That said, the actual texts do not explicitly reference size loss.

05:35They revolve around gut health and postpartum well-being, which many new moms are sensitive

05:40about. Either way, it's another instance where the vibe is he said, she said,

05:45with the public forced to guess which framing is correct.

05:48Blake's suit mentions Justin inserted intimate scenes not in the original script,

05:53including ones with her character hitting an O-face on camera.

05:56She claims she discovered these changes late and felt blindsided, especially postpartum.

06:02Justin's timeline disputes that, claiming any notes came from an intimacy coordinator

06:07and were standard suggestions for a realistic portrayal.

06:10He says that since Blake refused an early meeting with the coordinator,

06:14he had to convey those notes to her personally.

06:16So was he pushing for gratuitous content or just stuck acting as the messenger?

06:21The suit also references a birthing scene that Blake says was filmed in a poorly protected

06:25environment. Justin counters by saying she wore black briefs and a pregnancy suit. No big exposure.

06:32Again, the messages and official docs show he took steps to ensure her comfort,

06:37telling her that he'll make sure she's not worried.

06:39Blake, though, insists it was a boundary-crossing environment.

06:43In truth, she might have felt fine initially, then changed her mind.

06:47Or maybe the set got more tense as shooting went on.

06:50Each side spins the same events in dramatically different ways, leaving fans repeatedly saying,

06:55Huh? In the middle of all these claims, accusations,

06:59and new text leaks sits a massive $400 million defamation suit.

07:11Justin roped in Ryan Reynolds and Blake's publicist, Leslie Sloan,

07:15alleging they planned a campaign to paint him in a bad light.

07:19The reason for that steep figure, according to Justin,

07:22is that their rumor spree cost him job opportunities and tarnished his name.

07:27Meanwhile, Blake's crew calls the suit another chapter in the playbook,

07:31claiming he's flipping the script on her legitimate concerns about on-set misconduct.

07:36Despite the swirling negativity, both individuals once texted each other sweet birthday wishes and

07:42notes about how great the other was doing. The breakdown of this, it seems, came out of nowhere,

07:48escalated by miscommunications over postpartum size or intimacy scenes.

07:53Possibly once tensions started, they never found a middle ground, and fans suspect the

07:57confrontation at Blake's penthouse, where Ryan allegedly cussed out Justin, was the tipping point.

08:03Now, the PR versus is in full effect. Justin created a website for transparency,

08:09while Blake's team demands a gag order, accusing him of swaying public opinion.

08:14If you're shaking your head, you're not alone. At this point, many fans are left confused about

08:20Blake and Justin. On one hand, Blake's side says she felt ridiculed by a director obsessed with

08:26her size. On the other, Justin's text trove reveals a man coaxing her with lines like,

08:32you'll look amazing. Is it possible both versions contain some truth?

08:36Maybe Justin did ask the trainer about her size in a naive but well-intended manner,

08:41and maybe Blake found it invasive in hindsight. People's emotions can change drastically when

08:46under stress, especially postpartum. There's also the possibility that Ryan's protective

08:52instincts magnified the conflict, turning a minor inquiry into a major moral affront.

08:57What's certain is that tabloids are devouring each new detail, while neither star looks unscathed.

09:03Blake's brand as Hollywood's charming fashionista is under scrutiny,

09:07with critics saying her allegations feel inflated. Justin, meanwhile,

09:11is facing the uphill battle of proving he's not the creep she's painted him as.

09:16So, was it really what they say it was? The actual text logs suggest he never ridiculed her body.

09:22He genuinely tried to reassure her. But does that exonerate him from any other claims?

09:28Not necessarily. What do you guys think? Did Justin mess up with all of this?

09:32Let me know in the comments and I hope you guys have a great day!
