A leaked voice message from Justin Baldoni claims that he was ‘sent to the basement’ during the film premier with co-star, Blake Lively.

The actors starred in It Ends With Us over the summer but the release was altered by rumors that there was drama between them.The novel by Colleen Hoover was released in 2016 with the film hitting the silver screen in August. However, fans were quick to notice that the pair did little to no press together.

Lively filed a lawsuit claiming that her co-star attempted to start a smear campaign against her, claiming that his actions have caused  ‘severe emotional distress’ for herself and her family.Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, shared that the lawsuit is full of ‘categorically false accusations’. It alleged that a meeting was held with her husband, Ryan Reynolds in attendance, while things were in production to talk about the 37-year-olds demands for working on the film. Some of which included: “No more showing n*de videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘p**nography addiction,’ no more discussions about s*xual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s g**italia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”She also allegedly demanded that Baldoni did not add more  ‘s*x scenes, or*l s*x or on camera clim*xing’ to the film.Sony Pictures approved this request, according to the complaint. Lively also accused her co-star of ‘social manipulation’ and starting a campaign with the intent to ‘destroy’ her reputation. The mom-of-four alleged that Baldoni added “improvised gratuitous s*xual content and/or scenes involving nudity into the film (including for an underage character) in highly unsettling ways,” as reported.These changes were “a scene in which Lily Bloom was to org*sm on-camera”as well as a “detailed scene” of the younger version of Lively’s character losing her virginity. A scene which was not in the book but that Baldoni wanted to add.Lively “objected to these additions,” but Baldoni insisted on the scenes, claiming it was important to portray the story “through the female gaze,” per the complaint. Though the actor ultimately agreed to remove the scenes, he ended up adding another depicting a simultaneous org*sm between Lily and Ryle (Baldoni’s character) on their wedding night, saying that it was “important to him because he and his partner cli*ax simultaneously during intercourse”.Baldoni “intrusively asked” Lively if she and her husband also “cli*ax simultaneously during intercourse” – a question that the actress thought was invasive and declined to answer.Freedman shared a statement: “It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives, as yet another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film; interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the internet to generate their own views and opinions.”“Wayfarer Studios made the decision to proactively hire a crisis manager prior to the marketing campaign of the film, to work alongside their own representative with Jonesworks employed by Stephanie Jones, due to the multiple demands and threats made by Ms. Lively during production which included her threatening to not showing up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met. It was also discovered that Ms. Lively enlisted her own representative, Leslie Sloan with Vision PR, who also represents Mr. Reynolds, to plant negative and completely fabricated and false stories with media, even prior to any marketing had commenced for the film, which was another reason why Wayfarer Studios made the decision to hire a crisis professional to commence internal scenario planning in the case they needed to address.”Lively also shared a statement: “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”Baldoni has now been named as one of the 10 plaintiffs in a new $250 million lawsuit that has been filed on New Year’s Eve which accused The New York Times of libel, false light invasion of privacy, promissory fraud and breach of implied-in-fact contract relating to a headline from December, titled: “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.”In the article, Baldoni allegedly ‘repeatedly entered [Lively’s] makeup trailer uninvited while she was undressed, including when she was breastfeeding’.This claim followed a text exchange between the co-stars where Lively wrote:  “I’m just pumping in my trailer if you wanna work out our lines.” to which Baldoni said: “Copy. Eating with crew and will head that way.”The plantiffs have claimed that the publication ‘cherry-picked’ certain conversations and ‘stripped’ them of ‘necessary context’. The suit claimed: “The Times story relied almost entirely on Lively’s unverified and self-serving narrative, lifting it nearly verbatim while disregarding an abundance of evidence that contradicted her claims and exposed her true motives,”  The publication responded to the lawsuit: “The role of an independent news organization is to follow the facts where they lead. Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported. It was based on a review of thousands of pages of original documents, including the text messages and emails that we quote accurately and at length in the article.“To date, Wayfarer Studios, Mr. Baldoni, the other subjects of the article and their representatives have not pointed to a single error. We published their full statement in response to the allegations in the article as well. We plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”Now, a voicenote that allegedly details the way he claims to have been treated during the It Ends With Us premiere has been released.Shared with The Megyn Kelly Show, Baldoni can be heard saying: “On what could have been one of the most beautiful nights of my life career wise, I literally was sent to the basement with all my friends and family for over an hour because I wasn’t allowed to be seen, she didn’t want me anywhere near her or the rest of the cast.”“We start laughing because of the ridiculousness of this whole thing.“I was in the basement with the people that love me the most and we were all joyful and laughing cos none of that sh*t matters, none of it.”Neither Baldoni or Lively have commented on the voice note, as of yet.

Liam Payne’s cause of death has been confirmed as ‘polytrauma’.

Payne tragically died on October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He had been in the country to support his former bandmate Niall Horan during his worldwide tour. Five people were charged. Among those are a hotel employee and a waiter, both accused of providing Payne with cocaine. Allegations indicate that the employee supplied the drug twice, including on the day of Payne’s death, while the waiter is suspected of doing so on two occasions on October 14.A chief receptionist is facing manslaughter charges after reportedly instructing three individuals to “drag” Payne to his hotel room. Tragically, he later fell from the balcony. Similarly, a hotel manager is also charged with manslaughter, with court documents describing the balcony as a “serious threat” and claiming the manager should have ensured Payne was taken to a safe location while awaiting medical assistance.Additionally, a friend of Payne has been charged with manslaughter for allegedly failing to provide adequate care. According to accusations, the friend “abandoned him to his luck knowing that he was incapable of fending for himself and knowing that [Payne] suffered from multiple addictions.”Judge Laura Bruniard, who is overseeing the case, stated that she does not believe the individuals charged with manslaughter deliberately “planned or wanted the death of Payne.” However, she emphasized that their alleged actions had created a “risk” to his life.A toxicology report released in November revealed that Payne’s blood contained a combination of cocaine, alcohol, and antidepressants at the time of his death.The singer’s cause of death has now been confirmed as ‘polytrauma’, a medical term that describes a person who has sustained multiple traumatic injuires to their body or organs. Dr Roberto Victor Cohen has confirmed this was Payne’s cause of death. Payne’s passing garnered international attention due to his fame as a former member of One Direction. His former bandmates—Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson—issued a joint statement expressing their heartbreak.“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing… For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us,” they said. “We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”The group, along with Simon Cowell and Payne’s ex-partner Cheryl Tweedy, attended his funeral. Payne is survived by his seven-year-old son, Bear, whom he shared with Cheryl.In a heartfelt statement on Instagram, Cheryl expressed her grief, writing:“As I try to navigate this earth-shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.“Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7-year-old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.“What is troubling my spirit the most is that one day Bear will have access to the abhorrent reports and media exploitation we have seen in the past two days.“It is breaking my heart further that I cannot protect him from that in his future.”RIP.
