Justin Baldoni Here’s Proof Blake & NYT Plotted For Months!!! Amends Suit Against Her
Published
Justin Baldoni says he now has cold hard proof Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had it out for him several months before she dropped her Christmas surprise lawsuit against him … so, now he’s updating his lawsuit against them.
According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, Justin alleges the “malicious and recklesss” defamation of his character started at least as early as October 31 — it’s got nothing to do with Halloween, and everything to do with the metadata embed in the New York Times article about Blake’s lawsuit against Justin.
Here’s their evidence … Justin’s team claims observers of the article found “viewing the HTML source code for the article revealed references to a ‘message-embed-generator’ that referred to a date of ‘2024-10-31.'”
So, in layman’s terms, and in Justin’s lawsuit … he says that shows the NYT started building the allegedly defamatory article no later than October 31 — the date the outlet developed a tool to display the text messages which were such a prominent part of Blake’s lawsuit and the Times article about it.

Team Baldoni says that’s significant because the elements behind the now infamous article “strip away the legal shields that Lively, the Times, and other Lively Parties were likely relying on to protect their malicious acts of defamation.”
As we’ve reported, Justin is suing the NYT for $400 million — separate from his suit against Blake and Ryan — alleging the outlet cherry-picked and doctored text messages in its article, and colluded with Blake to support her attack on his character.
Justin’s attorney Bryan Freedman tells TMZ … “The decision to amend our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming amount of new proof that has come to light. This fresh evidence corroborates what we knew all along, that due to purely egotistical reasons Ms. Lively and her entire team colluded for months to destroy reputations through a complex web of lies, false accusations and the manipulation of illicitly received communications.”

Freedman adds, “The ongoing public interest in this case online has ironically shed light on the undeniable facts pertaining to The New York Times and how heavily Ms. Lively and her representatives were not only deeply involved in the attempted take down and smear campaign of Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and their teams but that they themselves initiated it.”
The amended suit also includes a more than 150-page timeline that lays out, in meticulous detail, the sequence of Blake’s alleged campaign to destroy Justin. How detailed is it? It goes all the way back to January 1, 2019, when Justin emailed Colleen Hoover, the author of the “It Ends With Us” novel … and follows, step-by-step, through this saga to January 29, 2025.
We’ve reached out to Blake’s camp … so far, no word back — but you know they’ll have something to say. That’s just how this battle goes.
Order in the court! Reese Witherspoon may be “Legally Blonde” in these two gorgeous photos, but some things are NOT by the books … Can you scope out the scene and put the minor changes behind bars?
Reese hit up “Good Morning America” earlier this week to dish on her newest movie, “You’re Cordially Invited” … and looked dapper rockin’ a light blue suit and a brown leather handbag. It’s giving, Elle Woods vibes but all grown up 💁♀️!
Can you see through our sneaky photo-edits? You’ve got this!

A$AP Rocky Trial My Knuckles Are Like Trump’s Ear … Don’t Minimize My Alleged Bullet Wounds!!!

Updated
A$AP Relli is trying to shut down incredulity that the cuts on his right hand didn’t actually come from a bullet … claiming people should look at what happened to Donald Trump during the attempt on his life, before clearing A$AP Rocky.
The former friend of Rocky took the stand for a fourth straight day Friday … and, Rocky’s attorney Joe Tacopina asked him if he’s really claiming the extent of his injuries from the alleged shooting are just a few scrapes on his knuckles.
Relli says yes … and, after Tacopina asks a related question — seemingly trying to get the jury to doubt his story — Relli replies that Joe’s not a ballistics expert, but he need only look at the current prez to know it’s possible.

A$AP Relli points to the attempt on Trump’s life at a Pennsylvania campaign rally last summer … when he walked away with just a scrape — and was totally fine after a week or so of wearing a Band-Aid.
The judge cuts him off here — a pretty common occurrence in this court case as Relli has tried to add more information than the question calls for.
Day 5 of the trial has gotten contentious … with Tacopina and the prosecution firing off at each other — and eyewitnesses telling TMZ A$AP Rocky actually had to hold his lawyer back during a heated moment with one of the prosecutors.

Rihanna was in court too … wearing a chic coat and pants to the trial — the third day she’s been this week. Rocky planted a kiss on his better half before the court went to break at around noon.
As you know …Relli’s testimony yesterday also included some heated moments — including raised voices between Relli and Tacopina, and a whole lot of “I don’t recall” responses from Relli.
He also admitted to deleting a few text messages, which almost certainly raised some eyebrows in court … including one exchange, where he seemed ready to throw down with Rocky.
Rocky’s accused of assault with a semiautomatic weapon in a 2021 incident with Relli … Tacopina claims Rocky’s gun was a prop.
The trial will pick up in just a little bit … and, we’ll have to wait and see if Relli compares himself to any other world leaders!
525lb Bear From Cave to Crawlspace Speakeasy Yogi Likely Looking for Booze, Expert Says!!!
Published |
Updated
An enormous bear discovered underneath an Altadena house after the L.A. wildfires probably ended up there in search of a sugar rush and a stiff drink … an animal expert tells TMZ.
Animal Planet’s Forrest Galante — wildlife expert, biologist, and TV host known for a series of “Shark Week” specials on Discovery —tells us he’s confident the 525-pound Yogi making headlines Friday was looking for sweets, booze and a place to crash after being displaced by the massive blazes — the Eaton Fire specifically, in this instance.

If you’ve ever gone camping in SoCal, you’ve probably seen bears raiding dumpsters and campsites … and, Galante says this results in many acquiring a sweet tooth and a drinking problem — and, just because their normal supply is eliminated doesn’t mean the cravings end.
In this particular case, the huge bear – dubbed “Barry” by the locals — was likely looking for an area similar to his usual habitat … hence being found in a cool, dark, damp crawlspace, much like a cave.
TMZ.com
When experts from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife arrived, they took one look at the big ol’ behemoth and decided it wouldn’t be smart to tranquilize him while he was under the house … so, instead they filled a trap full of delicious goods to lure him out.
He came out of the crawlspace within minutes, according to the Fish and Wildlife team — not surprising, since Galante’s sure all he wanted was some sweet treats.
The team trapped the mischievous creature … and, they took him to Angeles National Forest — 86ing him from his new hunting ground — where they collared him for future tracking, and ultimately released him.
Although the wildlife population overall is extremely resilient … it takes the largest predators, like bears and mountain lions, the most time to bounce back fully after a wildfire, Galante says.
And if the fires keep occurring regularly in the same area … it’s likely species would be permanently driven from the area — so, the L.A. area could lose the beautiful creatures unless serious changes are made.
No word on if Barry ended up enjoying a scotch and soda — but, after the ordeal he went through he probably could use one!
