Justin Baldoni just dropped a bomb in his legal fight with Blake Lively, and the internet is eating it up. He says Blake suddenly planted a kiss on him during a hospital scene that never made it into the final version of their movie, and fans are now spinning theories at the speed of light.
According to new filings, Justin argues that while Blake is accusing him of kissing her outside the script, she actually did the very same thing to him. He even attached the scene as an exhibit and claims the footage proves she leaned in first. This deleted moment has quickly turned into the center of the online frenzy.
The Deleted Scene That Sent Fans Into a Spiral
Justin says the kiss happened during a scene that Blake herself helped rewrite, and he points out that her script changes did not include anything close to that quick lip touch. Fans on social media have already started analyzing frame by frame, convinced the moment looks a little too natural.
He also points out that this scene was filmed shortly after a January 2024 meeting where both sides agreed there would be no more improvising. In other words, he says Blake broke the agreement.
Control on Set and a Heated Clash Behind the Scenes
In the new docs, Justin argues Blake had major influence during filming. He claims she guided choices from filming spots to scheduling to script edits, and that she steered more decisions than the average lead actor. Because of this, he says she should not be treated as someone with less authority on set.
His legal team believes all of this supports their request for the judge to drop her lawsuit entirely.
Fans Think the Kiss Looked a Little Too Smooth
As soon as the filing hit the internet, viewers began spreading clips and screenshots of the deleted moment. Some are joking that the chemistry looked suspiciously effortless. Others are convinced it hints at tension the public never saw. Nothing has been confirmed, of course, but that has not slowed the wildfire of commentary.
Blake’s side has not commented on the filing. The internet, however, is adding its own narrative at high speed.
