Early text messages exchanged between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni revealed that they exchanged cutesy messages before tensions flared up on the It Ends With Us set. The texts included in their legal filings showed them sending affectionate messages and showering each other with praise,

Baldoni’s lawsuit also alleged that he felt “obliged” to accept and praise a revised version of the rooftop scene allegedly written by Lively (who later claimed it was written by her husband Ryan Reynolds) for fear of incurring the wrath of Reynolds and Lively’s best friend, Taylor Swift.
