“Keep This Between Us”: Leaked 4-Minute Audio Bombshell Puts Blake Lively In A Bad Spot With Fans

In the aftermath of several court documents from the ongoing Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni lawsuit being unsealed last week, a bombshell audio clip from the actress to Baldoni has reignited controversy.
According to the newly released court filings, obtained as part of the discovery process, Blake allegedly sent a voice note lasting over four minutes to her It Ends With Us co-star and director, referring to him as “a friend at this point more than anything.”
The unsealed audio has sharply divided the internet, with many now questioning the Gossip Girl alum’s scathing allegations against Justin.
“I was so on Blake’s side at first with all of this, but now it’s going from victim to revenge, and that always to me shares another side to a story,” one netizen reacted.
Private audio recordings involving both Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were recently unsealed and released as part of their high-profile legal battle over the 2024 film It Ends With Us, just months ahead of their scheduled trial set to begin in May.
As part of the unsealed court documents, multiple media outlets also obtained a voice message sent by Blake to Justin in February 2023, reportedly three months before official production on the film began.
Lively explained that her husband had “encouraged” her to open up, saying, “But [Ryan] was like, you guys have such a great trust. You know, fill him in.”
Blake then expressed intense anxiety about returning to work so soon after giving birth to her and Ryan’s fourth child, son Olin, while also juggling another project she said she had already committed to.
She explained, “The only reason that I’m doing [that movie] before is because I gave them my word and I wouldn’t go back on that. But having a week off in between, it’s just a lot.”
Ryan Reynolds Breaks Silence After His Texts From Justin Baldoni Legal Battle Blow Lid Off Case

Just days after Ryan Reynolds’ private messages, containing scathing language about Justin Baldoni, exploded into a full-blown public spectacle, the actor has addressed the controversy and defended his remarks.
The 49-year-old star allegedly referred to Justin as a “thoroughbred, predatory fraudster” and an “inexplicably toxic mess” in the text exchange, which dates back to July 2024.
The messages were unsealed last week, on January 20, in newly released court documents as part of the discovery process in Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively’s, ongoing lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director and co-star Baldoni.
“[Ryan’s] image is triggering for me now. I can’t even describe the disgust I have for him. He makes my skin crawl,” reacted one social media user to the actor’s latest remarks.
The lawsuit between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has been ongoing since December 2024, when the 38-year-old actress sued Baldoni for s*xual harassment and retaliation on the set of their film It Ends With Us.
She also claimed in her legal filing that the Jane the Virgin star orchestrated an alleged smear campaign against her earlier that year, particularly during the press tours and premiere of the film.
Baldoni fired back at the allegations with a $400 million defamation and extortion countersuit, claiming that Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, had allegedly threatened to “ruin” his reputation in the industry and attempted to “hijack” his creative vision for the project.
His countersuit against Lively and Reynolds was dismissed in June last year, but the trial for Lively’s lawsuit against Baldoni is currently scheduled to begin in May this year.
Ahead of the highly anticipated trial, a tranche of hundreds of court exhibits, reportedly consisting of 181 pages of unsealed documents, was released last week.
As part of the document dump, the Deadpool star’s text messages to agents and executives at his talent agency, WME (William Morris Endeavor), were unsealed.
Allegedly, in one of the texts, believed to have been written around the time of the film’s release, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, Reynolds addressed the movie’s success, writing, “I’m super frustrated because this is a moment in which Blake should be celebrating. She made this unbelievable win happen.”
“Baldoni and these other buckets of dumb-dumb-juice should be acknowledging the speculation and gossip themselves. They should be jumping in front of it in the most full-throated, unqualified way. Now.”
Blake Lively’s bombshell lawsuit against Justin Baldoni has unexpectedly pulled Taylor Swift into an escalating court drama
The trouble began on January 22, when newly unsealed filings from Lively’s s*xual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni were made public.
The documents included personal text messages exchanged between Lively and Swift in December 2024, disclosing candid conversations in which the singer allegedly referred to Baldoni as a “b***h” with a “tiny violin.”
While Swift is not named as a plaintiff or defendant, legal analysts told TMZ that she could be called as a hostile witness if the case goes to trial, which is currently expected to begin in May 2026.
Crucially, the timing of the trial clashes with Swift and Kelce’s wedding, which was tentatively planned for mid-June in Rhode Island.
Following Taylor Swift’s involvement in Lively’s lawsuit, Travis Kelce is “scared” that the trial could derail their wedding plans
According to The Sun, the NFL star has grown increasingly anxious about the possibility of Swift being forced to testify, especially with wedding preparations already underway.
An insider alleged that Kelce is “scared” the trial could conflict directly with their wedding timeline .
“The possibility of having to cancel or reschedule plans because of a court appearance would be a massive disappointment in his eyes,” the source said, adding that the situation feels “unfair — to Taylor and to himself.”
Kelce’s stress is further compounded by his own ongoing circumstances. Following a disappointing season and growing speculation about retirement, the tight end is reportedly overwhelmed.
“Between a difficult season, the reality of preparing for retirement, and the looming possibility of Taylor being called to court, it’s been emotionally exhausting,” the insider explained.
However, Kelce’s concern did not emerge overnight. The 36-year-old had been uneasy about Swift’s involvement in the Lively drama long before the documents were unsealed.
Travis Kelce had allegedly urged Taylor Swift to distance herself from Blake Lively before the bombshell text revelation
Insiders further noted that Kelce quietly encouraged the Bad Blood singer to set firmer boundaries with Lively months before the lawsuit spilled into public view.
According to The U.S. Sun, a source revealed that Kelce believed Swift was being pulled into a situation she never asked to be part of.
“He was very much in her ear, as he believed Blake’s behavior toward Taylor felt off, and that she should take a closer look at the dynamic, saying it wasn’t how a real friend should act,” the insider shared.
“She was encouraged by Travis to address the situation head-on and be honest about how she was feeling.”
Swift and Lively were close friends for nearly a decade, but the two have not been seen together publicly since late 2024.
While several reports suggested that the two no longer speak, the recently discovered private messages appear to confirm the speculation.
The private text messages between Swift and Lively exposed in court filings confirmed their friendship has fractured
In one exchange, Swift admitted she felt distanced by Lively’s tone, telling her the messages felt more like “a mass corporate email sent to 200 employees” than texts between close friends.
“I just kinda miss my funny, dark, normal-speaking friend,” Swift allegedly wrote, asking Blake to “come back.”
Another exchange raised eyebrows when Lively reportedly referred to herself as “Khaleesi”, with Swift and Ryan Reynolds implied to be her “dragons.”
While Swift and Lively’s friendship has been a hot topic for fans for a while now, online chatter has now shifted to the wedding updates.
The wedding delay has sparked an online frenzy as several social media sleuths speculated a breakup
As soon as the wedding postponement news went viral, social media sleuths quickly began to interpret the move as a precursor to a breakup rather than a scheduling issue.
“I feel like they’ve already called it quits, and their PR teams are easing into it,” one commenter claimed
“Yes. I believe they are pre-broadcasting the break-up,” another added.
Others were more cynical about the relationship itself.
“The engagement was almost entirely for media exposure,” one user alleged, while another wrote, “I’m looking forward to the breakup album .”
Despite the noise, insiders stressed that the couple is trying to “take things one step at a time”.
“Run a book on how long the wedding would last,” wrote one netizen
