He dazzled them with celebrity endorsements. Then came the lawsuits, bankruptcy and voodoo Won-G Bruny sold himself as the rich, powerful force behind Tyga, Sean Kingston and Lil Mosey. But Mosey's mother, and many others, paint a darker picture.

All of these text messages are from Jones' lawsuit, which was filed in New York County Supreme Court today.

Abel also allegedly said that Baldoni could not get magazine covers because he was "not a star."

Abel also allegedly said that Baldoni was "so unlikable and unrealistic as a leading man" that her PR efforts on his behalf might prove ineffective.

According to text messages included in Jonesworks' head Stephanie Jones' lawsuit, Justin Baldoni's publicist Jennifer Abel privately expressed that she couldn't "stand" him and found him "so pompous."

This is correct: Lively's allegations were filed in a legal complaint. Earlier, I incorrectly called it a lawsuit.

Baldoni's crisis PR rep allegedly suggested bringing up Lively's "issues" with Leighton Meester, Anna Kendrick or Ben Affleck to distract from the situation with Baldoni.

Lively apparently backed out of hosting the season premiere of "SNL" in September due to negative press.

Baldoni's crisis PR team suggested an effective strategy to combat negative less could be the idea that Lively used Reynolds to create a power imbalance.

Baldoni allegedly told his publicist that he was considering discussing how his apparent on-set behavior was due to his "neuro divergence," "social awkwardness" and "impulsive speech."

Baldoni allegedly cried to Lovely that people online thought she looked "old and unattractive" in paparazzi set pictures.

Another actress on the film besides Lively also filed a sexual harassment complaint about Baldoni.

Baldoni allegedly told Lively he was once in a relationship where he did not always ask for consent or "listen when they said no."

A producer on the film allegedly showed Lively a naked video of his wife giving birth and said it was OK for him to share because "she isn't weird about that stuff."

Baldoni allegedly urged Lively to be naked in a birth scene in the film because "women give birth naked" and said his wife "ripped her clothes off" during the experience.

Baldoni allegedly urged Lively to keep a scene in the script where their characters orgasm together because he said he and his wife did IRL. He then apparently asked if Lively and Ryan Reynolds "climax simultaneously."

Baldoni allegedly told Lively "I'm not even attracted to you" after she objected to how he behaved in an intimate scene.

Baldoni's crisis PR rep allegedly suggested planting negative opinions about Lively through "ordinary" people who were actually from a "particular company or political group."

Baldoni's financial backer allegedly said he would spend up to $100 million to "ruin" Lively's life.

Lively alleges Baldoni pressed her to "sage" her employees.

Lively alleges that Baldoni told her he spoke to her dead father.

👀 moments from the Blake Lively lawsuit:

I have SO many thoughts about the Blake/Justin lawsuit, but also: Why are the lawyers both referring to the movie as a failure? It grossed $350m worldwide and apparently cost $25m to make?

I am absolutely demolishing "Pop Culture Jeopardy," but I'm not proud, mostly just concerned.

Water chestnuts are EXTREMELY underrated, and that's on that.

Nothing as democratizing as a Hollywood premiere, where John Hawkes, Giovanni Ribisi and D.B. Weiss are all forced to wait in the same line at a mall with hundreds of others to get into the Bob Dylan movie.
