On October 22, Blake made legal waves when her team filed explosive court documents accusing Justin Baldoni’s camp of deliberately destroying evidence tied to an alleged smear campaign. According to Red94, her attorneys claim Baldoni’s team used apps with auto-deleting features in an effort to hide messaging they say was meant to damage Lively’s reputation ahead of the It Ends With Us premiere.
