Justin Baldoni and his legal team launched a website containing an updated complaint and never-before-seen messages ahead of his and Blake Lively's first court appearance. A legal expert explains to PEOPLE why he may have launched the website.

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer has launched a public website containing documents pertaining to the actor and director’s legal battle with actress Blake Lively.

Justin Baldoni has filed an amended counterclaim that consolidates Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, The New York Times and others as defendants, saying the "It Ends With Us" star and her PR reps colluded with the newspaper for months to smear the director after a protracted battle over control of the movie turned hostile.
