Amid the ongoing drama surrounding Blake Lively’s lawsuit against her co-star and director Justin Baldoni, one question continues to linger: What kind of relationship did they have? Lively, who is suing Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment during the filming of It Ends With Us, sent what many would consider flirty texts late at night.

So, why did she text him at 2 am, and what does this reveal about their relationship?

Flirty Messages and Confusing Context

Take one of Lively’s messages to Baldoni on May 11, 2023, when production was in full swing.

She texted him at 2:46 am: “It’s such a good feeling to get work done that we’re proud of.

And to do it together,” she wrote, followed by, “It just clicks when we find it.

And that’s just as rewarding as filming it. I’m really proud of what we’re doing.” The message ended with a big red love-heart emoji.

This text sounds more like a teenage girl gushing about her crush than a professional colleague communicating with a co-worker.

Baldoni’s reply? “I like sentimental Blake.” Lively quickly responded with, “Never met her,” followed by, “I also like asshole Blake, OK goodnight.” And then there was this: “I’ve met her.

So have my suppositories. Good night!” with a laughing emoji.

These lighthearted exchanges certainly don’t seem to match the serious accusations Lively has made.

Of course, we don’t know the full details of what happened on set, and her allegations should be taken seriously.

But the tone of these texts makes you wonder: what exactly was going on between them?

Did Lively Have Feelings for Baldoni?

In another text from April 4, 2023, Lively said, “You’re absolutely the best,” followed by, “And what you did inspired me.

I love what we’re gonna do.” Then, she shared more personal details, writing, “If you knew me [in person] longer, you’d have a sense of how flirty and yummy and ball-busting [the sex scenes] would play. It’s my love language.

Spicy and playfully bold, never with teeth.”

Those messages raise eyebrows. Are these the kinds of texts you’d expect from a professional co-worker? Baldoni, who is married to actress Emily, surely wouldn’t have been thrilled with the late-night messages from Lively.

But, on the other hand, would any husband feel comfortable knowing his wife was exchanging such personal messages with a co-star? The situation seems awkward, to say the least.

Jealousy or Protectiveness: What’s Really Behind the Fallout?

Could it be that old-fashioned jealousy played a role in this drama? Reports suggest that Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, reacted explosively after an incident in their New York penthouse.

Allegedly, Reynolds confronted Baldoni over accusations of fat-shaming Lively on set.

However, it seems those claims were later disproven, as Baldoni reportedly told Lively to “not stress about her body” and reassured her that she’d “look amazing.”

Could Reynolds have been upset about the on-screen chemistry between his wife and Baldoni? In It Ends With Us, Lively’s character Lily Bloom falls deeply in love with Baldoni’s character, neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, only to later uncover his dark side.

The film portrays an undeniable sexual tension between the two, particularly in a dance floor kiss scene that Lively now claims involved “unwanted touching” in her lawsuit.

According to her, Baldoni went too far when he kissed her neck and gently took her lip between his teeth without her consent.

Unanswered Questions: From Besties to Enemies

It’s a strange situation because, according to reports, Lively and Baldoni were once close friends, exchanging intimate messages and openly discussing their spouses.

So, how did they go from being friendly to sworn enemies? Lively has even accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, and now he’s counter-suing the couple for damages in a $400 million lawsuit.

Sadly, the public reaction has been overwhelmingly negative toward Lively and Reynolds.

Online comments have criticized Lively’s talent, calling her a narcissist and a liar.

Meanwhile, many have rallied behind Baldoni, expressing support for him.

The public opinion surrounding this scandal has left Lively and Reynolds in a tough spot, and some wonder if Reynolds’ “nice guy” image may be forever tarnished.

The End of the Road for This Hollywood Drama?

At the end of the day, it’s hard to say who is truly at fault here.

Was Baldoni guilty of sexual harassment? Or is Lively telling the truth about her experience? Whatever the outcome, it’s clear that no one will come out of this situation looking like a hero.

All that’s left is the drama, the lawsuits, and a lot of questions with no easy answers.
