feb 21, 2023 - Communication Between Baldoni and Shared Personal Trainer Don

Description:

"47. Baldoni had been introduced to trainer “Don”—who became Baldoni’s personal
trainer—by Lively. Don directed Baldoni’s preparation for the Film role, including his nutrition and exercise, making special accommodations for Baldoni’s back injury; Baldoni even paid to receive Don’s meal delivery service.

48. Privately, Baldoni reached out to Don, as his personal trainer, to ask what Lively
weighed so that he could train his back muscles in preparation for a lift scene. This was important to avoid injury not only to Baldoni, who suffered from lifelong back injuries, multiple bulging disks, and chronic pain but also to Lively if the lift could not be completed successfully and safely. Notwithstanding Lively’s recent attempts to deny the existence of any such scene, it was only nixed at her insistence after having been planned and rehearsed."
