Blake Lively’s driver claims Justin Baldoni made ‘disturbing’ confession to actress

A driver for Blake Lively allegedly overheard a disturbing conversation between the actress and Justin Baldoni, her co-star in the film “It Ends With Us.” The driver, Kevin Alexander, claimed in a deposition that Baldoni discussed his “sexual relations with women,” including instances where he said he “was forced on and he forced himself on women.”

A Driver’s Discomfort

According to Alexander’s account, the conversation took place during a drive with Lively, Baldoni, and another individual. He stated that Baldoni “kept talking about his sexual relations,” and would “revert back” to the topic even when challenged. Alexander found the discussion highly unusual and unsettling, noting it distracted him from his driving duties.

So concerned was Alexander by the conversation, that he told Lively he felt “uncomfortable” and suggested she conduct a background check on Baldoni. At the time, he was unaware that Baldoni was also the producer and director of the film.

Escalating Legal Conflict

The alleged conversation occurred before the release of “It Ends With Us” in August 2025, which was quickly followed by rumors of a feud between Lively and Baldoni, as they did not participate in joint promotional activities. In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni alleging sexual harassment.

Baldoni has denied the allegations. The legal battle has since expanded, involving a dismissed countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as well as complaints from other members of the film’s cast. Unsealed texts and emails have brought other celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Ben Affleck, into the public discourse.

Taylor Swift, 36, reportedly expressed frustration at being drawn into the legal conflict, and has reportedly had no contact with Lively since.

What’s Next?

A trial between Lively and Baldoni is currently scheduled for May 18, 2026. It is possible that further details from the case, including additional testimony and evidence, may become public before the trial begins. Depending on the outcome of the trial, appeals could be filed, potentially prolonging the legal proceedings. The situation could also lead to further scrutiny of power dynamics and workplace conduct within the entertainment industry.
