Blake Lively has allegedly leaked explosive Sony HR complaints detailing “toxic” behavior by the It Ends With Us director, sending shockwaves through Hollywood and beyond. The 37-year-old actress, locked in a bruising lawsuit against Baldoni, 41, dropped the purported documents on X at 10:45 p.m. PST tonight, igniting a firestorm that’s left the industry reeling and Baldoni’s camp scrambling.
“Read it and weep—here’s the truth Justin tried to bury!” Lively captioned the leak, linking a PDF allegedly snatched from Sony’s HR vaults. The files, stamped with the studio’s logo, claim Baldoni “berated” crew members, “intimidated” female staff, and “ignored” safety protocols during the 2023 shoot—accusations that turbocharge Lively’s harassment and retaliation suit filed in December. One bombshell entry: a May 2023 complaint from an unnamed grip alleging Baldoni “screamed at me for 10 minutes over a lighting delay—unhinged.”
X erupted as the leak hit. “Blake just dropped Sony’s HR dirt on Justin—GAME OVER!” one user posted, with the PDF racking up 8 million views in 25 minutes. “Toxic set? Berating crew? She’s got receipts!” another wrote. #LivelyLeaks trended, with memes of Lively as a whistleblower captioned, “Serena’s spilling ALL the tea!”
Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, fired back at 11 p.m.: “This is a forgery—desperate lies from a failing case! We’re suing for defamation AGAIN!” Sources say Baldoni, in LA, “lost it,” pacing his office and yelling, “She’s framing me—Sony’s clean!” But Lively’s team doubled down, tweeting, “These are real—Sony knew, and they covered it up. More to come.”
The leak’s timing—days after Lively’s amended complaint (February 18) claimed two actresses backed her harassment allegations—feels like a kill shot. “She’s fed up with Justin’s denials,” an insider spilled. “Blake got these from a Sony whistleblower—HR sat on them to protect him.” The docs allege Baldoni “mocked” an intimacy coordinator and “ranted” about “weak” staff, painting a set “on edge.”
Sony’s mum—“No comment,” a rep snapped at 11:05 p.m.—but X users aren’t waiting: “Blake’s a hero—exposing Justin AND Sony!” one cheered. MAGA foes, led by Trump’s “Blake’s a LOSER!” tweet, raged, “She’s faking it!” Baldoni’s camp insists the files are “doctored,” but Lively’s pal Taylor Swift fueled the fire, liking the leak post—silent support that’s deafening.
With Lively “all in”—insiders say she’s “ready to burn it down”—and Baldoni reeling, this HR leak’s a seismic blow. “She’s got Sony by the throat,” a legal expert said. “If these hold, Justin’s career’s toast.” X’s ablaze—“Blake’s playing 4D chess!”—and Hollywood’s holding its breath. The war’s nuclear now—stay tuned!
