E! News has reached out to Ryan's rep for comment but hasn't heard back. Justin has previously denied all allegations against him.
Among the unsealed docs was a conversation Blake and Ryan had with Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso Damon, asking the couple to watch an early version of It Ends With Us.
"This movie has been one of the all time zingers on and off set," Ryan wrote on May 17, 2024, per the docs obtained by Just Jared. "One day, we’ll make a movie about the movie. And we can’t wait to tell you all about it. The stories are already finding their place in the pantheon of legendary Hollywood Insanity."
The Emmy winner hinted that he and Blake—who share kids James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 2—might be taking some time out of the spotlight, adding, "We’ re about to be off for at least a year and a half . Maybe two years. Maybe forever? Let’s play pickleball."
Blake then responded with "juicy stuff" about Justin, who she has accused of sexual harassment on the set of the Colleen Hoover book adaptation—a claim he has denied.
"This movie nearly killed me," the actress wrote. "The director/costar/producer/financier/head of the studio (yes all one person) had zero experience, but the good news is he also has no taste , and an enormous ego, but only because he’s in a cult and believes he’s our century’s prophet. I wish even one of these things was hyperbole."
After Blake and Ryan told the Damons that Justin allegedly asked about the Gossip Girl star's weight after she gave birth, Luciana responded, "Sorry but what the actual f--k?!? He’s dead."
After dozens of documents were unsealed, Justin's lawyer Bryan Freedman spoke out Jan. 21 to defend his client.
"As stated all along, and reflected in our clients' motions, as well as in messages from Sony discussing Ms. Lively's behaviors, the evidence does not support [Lively's] claims as a matter of law," he said. "A simple read of the newly released message exchanges make the truth abundantly clear. We remain confident in the legal process and clearing the names of all the Justin Baldoni parties."
