Some alleged excerpts from a transcript of a recording submitted in court by Blake Lively's
legal team have gotten into the public domain. The recording allegedly took place in August 2024
during a meeting where Steve Sarawitz, you've heard this name a bunch of times,
Steve Sarawitz, the co-founder and financier of Wayfarer Studios, right? A partner with
claimed to have made threatening remarks about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The recording
was reportedly made secretly by an unnamed individual working with Wayfarer. The identity
of the person who made the recording remains sealed, but is Blake behind this? Team Baldoni
is pretty sure of it. How did she acquire it? How did this tape get made? On the tape,
Sarawitz allegedly said things like, if Ms. Lively or Mr. Reynolds ever cross the line,
ever, then I will go after them. I think Blake is trying to think that that means,
oh yeah, he was ready to launch a campaign against us. No, I don't think so. He's saying,
if they pull these shenanigans, I will go after them. He said, there will be two dead bodies
when I'm done, minimum. And then he said, not dead, of course, but you're dead to me.
So that kind of dead, but dead to a lot of people. Now he clarified that, you know,
had this gotten out there, I think if certain people had had their way, they would have said,
then they're dead. Not as in, you know, they try to use it in the literal sense,
which is absolutely not the case. The guy's outraged that he sees, you know, what's unfolding
in front of him. The glaring outrageous issue here is, you know, Blake filed the declaration,
but wants to keep most of the audio sealed, allegedly to protect, you know, the secret
recorder, whoever the person is that recorded this thing. But Blake had the audacity to attempt
to unseal just the relevant parts, i.e. Steve Sarawitz, you know, her violent threats against
her. Okay, Blake, you know what, we're gonna take your word for it? No chance. Team Baldoni's
totally fine with keeping the identity of the person who recorded this conversation private,
but they're saying, okay, you started all this, you know, Steve was recorded unbeknownst to him,
but let's unseal the whole thing for context's sake. So they're not hiding anything. They're
saying, don't just put out, you know, a little bit of a transcript here of some things that he said,
give the whole context so you can see exactly why he said it. And as far as Baldoni goes,
this, you know, reeks of innocence to me. I'll say that.
