Blake Lively is not holding back. The Hollywood actress is now demanding phone records from Justin Baldoni as she seeks evidence of what she believes is a targeted “smear” campaign against her.
The escalating controversy has left fans speculating about the nature of their dispute and what could be at stake.
According to sources close to the situation, Lively has formally requested access to Baldoni’s phone records, believing they could hold crucial information about a behind-the-scenes effort to tarnish her reputation.
While neither party has publicly confirmed the details, insiders suggest that Lively is convinced Baldoni played a role in spreading damaging claims about her.
“She’s determined to get to the bottom of this,” an anonymous source revealed. “Blake is not the type to let something slide when she knows there’s more to the story.”
The exact details of the alleged “smear” remain unclear, but speculation is rampant that it could be tied to a business deal, personal fallout, or even a deeper Hollywood rift.
Fans were caught off guard by this sudden conflict between Lively and Baldoni, as the two have had little public interaction in the past. However, some industry insiders claim tensions have been simmering for a while.
One possible factor fueling the dispute could be a professional clash. Baldoni, known for his work in directing and producing, has recently expanded his influence in Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Lively has been selective with her projects, focusing on both acting and business ventures. Could a power struggle be at play?
Others believe the feud could stem from a private dispute that has now spilled into the public eye. Whatever the case, Lively’s demand for phone records suggests she is prepared to go all the way to prove her point.
The term “smear campaign” is not one Lively throws around lightly. Those close to her say she believes there has been an orchestrated effort to damage her reputation, whether through leaked information, false narratives, or manipulation of the press.
“She feels like she’s being set up,” a source explained. “Blake has always been in control of her image, and suddenly, things are being said about her that don’t add up.”
If Baldoni’s phone records do show communication with media outlets or third parties involved in spreading negative stories, it could provide Lively with the evidence she needs to take further action.
News of Lively’s bold move has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. Some industry figures have come out in support of her, while others are staying silent, possibly waiting to see how the situation unfolds.
Social media has also been buzzing, with fans speculating about what could have triggered such a serious reaction from Lively. Many have expressed surprise, given that Baldoni is generally seen as a positive force in the industry.
“If Blake is going this far, she must have something serious,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “She wouldn’t just demand phone records unless she knew there was something to find.”
Others, however, are taking a more skeptical approach, questioning whether this is just another example of Hollywood drama being blown out of proportion.
Lively’s next move will likely depend on whether she gains access to Baldoni’s phone records. If she finds concrete proof of wrongdoing, she could escalate the situation further—potentially even pursuing legal action.
On the other hand, if nothing substantial comes from the request, the dispute may fizzle out as a case of misunderstandings and industry gossip.
As of now, neither Lively nor Baldoni has made a direct statement regarding the situation. However, given the intensity of the allegations, it’s only a matter of time before one or both of them break their silence.
One thing is certain: Blake Lively is not someone who backs down easily. Whether she’s right or wrong about the alleged smear campaign, she’s making it clear that she won’t be played—or silenced.
