Justin Baldoni Demands Blake Lively’s Texts With ‘It Ends With Us’ Costar

Justin Baldoni is struggling to track down It Ends With Us costar Isabela Ferrer as part of his effort to obtain their text messages in his legal battle with Blake Lively, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

On Tuesday, August 12, Baldoni’s team filed court documents regarding Ferrer, 24, explaining that Ferrer was on set and is a material witness to Lively’s lawsuit against Baldoni, 41. (Ferrer played the young version of Lively’s Lily in the movie, which Baldoni also directed.)

Baldoni’s lawyer served a subpoena demanding Ferrer turn over “all documents relating to any discriminatory, harassing, retaliatory, inappropriate or unwelcome action, conduct or statement” made during production or post.

He asked her to produce any documents related to any complaint of harassment or workplace misconduct on the set of the 2024 film.

In addition, he demanded all communications between Ferrer and Lively about the lawsuit at hand. Baldoni requested that she also turn over all of her communications with him and his business partner.

In his motion, Baldoni explained that Ferrer’s lawyer failed to respond to the subpoena.

He explained that a process server went out on several occasions in early August, and at various times of day, to attempt to serve Ferrer at an address in Brooklyn, which his team believed to be her home address.

However, his team noted, “it appears that none of the persons present at the Brooklyn location were familiar with Isabela Ferrer.” Baldoni said his process server went out to another address in Sag Harbor but was unable to track down Ferrer.

In his since-dismissed lawsuit against Lively, Baldoni accused her of telling Ferrer to shun him. Ferrer and Lively were inseparable during the It Ends With Us international press tour, often photographed together on the red carpet at various premieres. Ferrer told People that Lively was an “angel” and said, “to be able to connect with the person that you’re sharing a role with is huge, and she’s just a really good person.”

As Us previously reported, Lively was deposed as part of the legal battle on July 31 in New York City.

Her team accused Baldoni’s team of leaking information about the deposition to the press. Baldoni and his lawyers denied the accusations.

Baldoni’s lawyer said Lively’s team had no evidence to back up their claims, The director’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, argued, “[Lively] also fails to explain why any such ‘leak’ could not have originated from [Lively], her husband [Ryan Reynolds], her multiple attorneys, legal or administrative staff from the law firm representing her (whose office she demanded host the deposition), or the catering staff employed thereby who served lunch.”

“Putting aside the identity of the culprit, the identities of those in attendance for her deposition are not newsworthy because all parties are entitled to attend all depositions,” Freedman added.

As Us first reported, Lively called out Freedman while being grilled for hours during her deposition.

In her lawsuit, Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of the film. She said he hired a PR team to smear her in the press after she spoke up about his behavior. Baldoni denied the claims of sexual harassment. He accused Lively of seizing control of his film after production wrapped and ruining his name in the press.
