Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal battle examined in new documentary – where to watch
All will be revealed in the documentary special, which starts streaming tomorrow on Discovery+
The ongoing legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has dominated headlines and sparked waves of online sleuthing from fans. Now, the case is being unpacked in Lively vs Baldoni: The Hollywood Feud, a new Discovery+ documentary premiering tomorrow (17 July).
Originally slated to release in June, the documentary was quietly delayed following the dismissal of Baldoni’s $400m defamation countersuit, filed in January. Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled that Lively’s harassment allegations were protected from defamation claims. Baldoni did not refile.
Lively’s original lawsuit, lodged in December 2024, remains active, with a trial scheduled for March 2026. The documentary promises a forensic breakdown of the It Ends with Us fallout, from on-set tensions and leaked texts to gag orders and countersuits. Here’s what to expect from Lively vs Baldoni: The Hollywood Feud, and how to watch it in the UK.

According to Discovery+, the first half of the documentary outlines Baldoni’s claims of reputational damage, alleging that Lively and those around her tried to wrest creative control of It Ends with Us, while the second half presents Lively’s account of an alleged retaliatory smear campaign and online harassment after filing her lawsuit.
