Just every single text and email that has come to light as this sh*t show continues.

Between the Brooklyn Beckham family callout and the Blake Lively lawsuit, this has been a busy week in the celebrity world.

In recent days, a slew of private texts, messages and emails have become public record — and they include pages of correspondence between Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, friend Taylor Swift, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Jenny Slate.

A whole bunch of court documents were unsealed as part of Lively's ongoing lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

Honestly, there is so much info to digest here.

For your easy-reading, we have dug through all the documents to find the biggest revelations in the released texts and emails.

Blake Lively's emails to Ben Affleck.

In a 73-page document filed on January 20 in support of a motion for summary judgment from Alexandra A.E. Shapiro, representing Baldoni and other defendants, it was stated Lively had "recruited famous friends," to support her.

To support this defence, one of the exhibits made public was an email exchange between Lively and a 'Ben A' from May 17, 2024. The last name is redacted, but it's been widely reported that the recipient is Ben Affleck.

According to unsealed court filings, Lively reached out to Affleck, asking for feedback on her revised edit of It Ends With Us.

Lively started the email chain to Affleck by joking, "Ben, It's Blake. Don't hang up."

After sharing that she hopes that "life is treating you beautifully," and saying Ryan (presumably her husband Ryan Reynolds) was "going on and on about you recently amongst all that [redacted] chaos," the actress went on to ask a favour.

Lively described her alleged experience on the set of It Ends With Us.

"I ended up rewriting and restructuring the entire script," Lively writes, claiming she "also ended up having to direct the movie via the chaotic clown 'director'/actor/producer/financier/studio head at the centre" — an apparent reference to Baldoni.

Lively went on to mention "wild HR issues" before asking Affleck to view her cut of the film and provide "any ideas or notes" he may have.

"I'm writing with a zero pressure ask. I've just come out the other side (well almost) of the most upsetting experience I've ever had on a movie. The making of doc [documentary] of this film would be more interesting than the movie could ever be. It's like if Wild Wild Country, Fyre Festival and Going Clear had a baby with The Room," the email continued.

"Anyway, now I'm in a bake off with him in the edit. He's been editing since, I kid you not, July, and they gave me 10 days to do my own pass. We have a bake off in 12 days."

She then asked Affleck to provide some feedback.

"You can literally text me a voice memo so you don't have to formally write thoughts," she emailed.

The actress then invited Affleck to watch the film with his then-wife, Jennifer Lopez, as she would be 'honoured' to hear her feedback.

"If your wife or kids are around, I'd love their opinion also (fyi it does cover domestic violence so no one is caught off guard). I'm such a fan of Jennifer's. I've told her as much every time I've met her, and it would be an honour to have her take."

The actress added in the email chain that Reynolds had asked Matt Damon to provide feedback.

"Good men showing up," she wrote, adding "Can you believe Jason Bourne is watching my movie!?!"

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' emails to Matt Damon.

On the same day as the emails to Affleck, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, sent messages to Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, on May 17, 2024.

Reynolds, who knew Damon through working together on Deadpool 2, started the messages by writing "if the offer is still open to watch the movie…" before describing the making of It Ends With Us.

"One day, we'll make a movie about the movie. And we can't wait to tell you all about it. The stories are already finding their place in the pantheon of legendary Hollywood insanity."

Reynolds included an example, telling the married couple: "Several weeks before shooting, and right after Blake had given birth to our son… this guy called our trainer, Don and asked 'how much do you think Blake will weigh in two weeks?'"

In response, Lucy wrote back: "Sorry but what the actual f**k?!? He's dead."

To this, Lively added another on-set allegation. "He also told me last year that he speaks to my father often. He hopes I don't mind. My father died three years ago."

To this message, Lucy replied "What?!? I'm fascinated by this creep. I think you should make a movie about this guy."

Reynolds then asked The Damons for their "well-earned POV" on Lively's cut of the film, adding that the couple's daughters are "obviously most welcome" to watch the movie, too.

"It's not a bad movie," added Lively. "So who knows, you just may enjoy some of it. Be warned it covers domestic violence in key places, so just want to be sure you know."

In more excerpted texts, Lively described her experience working with Baldoni.

"This movie nearly killed me," she wrote. "The director/costar/producer/financier/head of the studio (yes all one person) had zero experience, but the good news is he also has no taste, and an enormous ego, but only because he's in a cult and believes he's our century's prophet. I wish even one of these things was hyperbole," she alleged.

"I rewrote the entire script," she claimed. "I directed every actor… Then after all this Justin wouldn't bring me into the edit. He had no idea what he had because he didn't author any of it. They gave me 10 days to scrap together an edit to compete with an edit he's been making since July."

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's texts about Justin Baldoni.

On December 5, 2024, Taylor Swift sent Blake Lively a link to a news story on Justin Baldoni making allegations about an ex-girlfriend.

The texts were sent a few weeks before Lively publicly accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us.

"I think this b**ch knows something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny violin," wrote Swift.

Lively wrote in the text chain: "It's rings different when he doesn't end the story by saying 'Did I always listen when they said no? No.' Like he did with me," she alleged, then adding "He's being honoured at the Vital Voices for Women event on Monday."

Swift expressed her 'disgust' at this decision. "This is so disgusting and I hate that he's clever about this s**t."

In another part of the conversation, Swift said, "He needs to be beaten by his OWN words."

Lively then alluded to the alleged 'smear campaign' she faced during the IEWU press campaign.

"No one talks to him, no one will say his name, no one follows him, yet they all are close with each other… maybe it was him? Nahh it was the women because they wore flowers."

Swift then asked Lively, "Is everything still on track?", presumably referring to the New York Times exposé on her allegations.

"Oh yes. A week later tho. But worth the wait," Lively replied.

"Ok that's perfect. His own words, that's gonna be powerful," Swift said, later adding "It's the only way to beat liars and hypocrites."

Lively then writes she can't "imagine feeling as confident as these predators," before comparing Baldoni to Scooter, which could be a reference to Scooter Braun.

"It's like a horror film no one knows is taking place," Swift said. In reply, Lively again addressed some of the criticism she faced during the film's press tour.

"Meanwhile I walk around feeling death sentence guilty and apologetic for being sarcastic and liking a theme party," she said.

They texted again on December 21, 2024 — the day Lively's claims against Baldoni were published.

"You won. You did it," Swift congratulated Lively. "You helped so many f**king people who won't have to go through this ever again."

She went on to tell Lively that "Never has a cancellation been reversed so fast. You guys don't understand how rare this is. To have proof and to take perfect steps to bring that truth into the light."

More text messages between the women on April 12, 2023 gave context to an encounter between Lively, Swift and Baldoni that is referenced in Baldoni's January 2025 lawsuit against Lively.

Lively texted Swift about a scene rewrite: "If you get here w[hile] this doofus director of my movie is still here (I'll be ushering him out, but hope he's still here) can you do me a huge favour. I need help with him," Lively said.

"Can you tell him you're excited for the movie. That you read the book but what you're freaking out over is the pages I sent you. What a magnetic scene that is. Or whatever descriptives you're comfortable w[ith]. I'll send you the scene. You don't have to read of course. It's a quick read."

Lively went on to encourage Swift to praise the scene. "So having the greatest living story telling [storyteller] unknowingly echo to him how much you love what we're doing, (giving him credit as if he wrote them with me) will go such a long way," she said.

Swift agreed, replying, "I'll do anything for you !!"

An older text exchange from April 12, 2023 gave further context to Swift licensing the use of her song, 'My Tears Ricochet', in a trailer for the film.

Swift wrote that she was surprised Baldoni agreed to include her song.

"If Justin was strategic he would be like no Taylor Swift in the trailer because that gives you more power over the film," she texted.

"That's your ally not his."

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively's texts about their friendship.

Months after Blake and Swift spoke about the 'smear campaign' and lawsuit, they experienced a friendship rift. And yes, we have their whole back-and-forth in text.

On December 4, 2024, Lively attempted to address a shift in their friendship.

"Hey, just checking in," Lively wrote. "I have no reason to ask, but I donno, I've been feeling like I should … is everything OK? I felt like a bad friend lately because I was such a sad sack who only talked about my own shit for months. You were generous to not only be the key person there for me during all of it," she texted.

"I always want the opportunity to be a better friend if there's something I unintentionally did."

Swift confirmed that there was a change in their dynamic. "No you're not wrong," Swift wrote back.

"I think I'm just exhausted in every avenue of my life and in recent months had been feeling a little bit of a shift in the way you talk to me."

Swift went on to say she believed her friend was not speaking to her in a 'normal' way.

"I feel really bad saying anything about this because your texts have been so nice in their intent but your last few… it's felt like I was reading a mass corporate email sent to 200 employees," Swift said.

"You said the word 'we' like 18 times. And it feels awful to be in any way critical of any way you process what you've been going through but I just kinda miss my funny, dark, normal-speaking friend who talks to me as herself, not like. A plural unit."

Swift went on to tell Lively that she missed her old friend.

"I feel distanced from you even more than we are geographically. And I know you feel attacked from all sides for ridiculous reasons, so you're feeling like you have to overly explain things or be overly nice or whatever but. It's me! That's just caused a little distance. And you don't need to apologise. Just come back please."

Hours later, Lively responded with an odd joke. "Dear valued customer, thank you for your feedback. We at headquarters are reviewing your concerns and will get back to you in a timely manner," she wrote.

Lively went on to explain her side, telling her friend she's "become digitally paranoid."

"I've been texting like I'm writing. Not like me talking. I didn't realise that until you pointed it out, but I see it," Lively wrote. "On top of that, I'm over packaging simple things bc I've felt so deeply misunderstood that I don't trust my judgement of myself anymore... This f**king guy and what he did to me gave me an identity crisis. Legitimately."

Lively went on to say she felt 'alone' during this time. "The thing that spooked me most in all this though, wasn't the bad guys being bad guys. It was the good guys, my lifelong friends — allies to women — who quietly dipped. And so I'm probably being over the top with my friends who stayed because I've never felt more alone," she wrote.

The message exchange ended with Lively apologising to Swift, thanking her for her honesty and saying "F**k that guy and f**k his whole gaggle of supervillains."

The conversation ended on positive terms with Swift saying that she loved Lively and the initial joke in response had "taken her out".

Jenny Slate's text messages about Justin Baldoni.

As part of the new evidence and documents being unsealed, It Ends With Us actress Jenny Slate had her text messages to her team from June 2023 published.

She expressed a refusal to do any press with the director and co-star, Baldoni, and James Heath from Wayfarer Studios.

"I don't want to do anything with Justin, I don't want to talk about him, like ... nothing. And the same goes for Jamey [Heath], who is truly unprofessional."

Slate said filming It Ends With Us "has been a really gross and disturbing shoot, and I'm one of many who feel [this] way", adding that she and Lively had "both complained directly" to the studio.

She went on to say some scathing thoughts about Baldoni.

"Justin is truly a false ally and I'm unwilling to do anything that promotes the image that he's crafting as a 'male feminist'… honestly I have no words to describe what a fraud he is," Slate continued.

"I honestly have never ever encountered anything like this dude," she said. "He's the biggest clown and the most intense narcissist."

These unsealed messages and texts are now part of the public record in Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni. The lawsuit began in December 2024 when Lively sued the director, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation.

Baldoni denied the allegations, filed a $400 million countersuit, but it was dismissed in June 2025 by Judge Lewis J. Liman.

This lawsuit is ongoing, and we will keep updating this story before the trial commences on May 18, 2026.
