Blake Lively Sues Justin Baldoni Over 'It Ends With Us' for Sexual Harassment, Alleges Smear Campaign
Dec 23, 2024, 02:00 AM
Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film 'It Ends With Us,' alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated smear campaign against her. Lively claims that Baldoni's actions on set caused her severe emotional distress. The lawsuit also names producer Jamey Heath and Wayfarer Studios as defendants. Lively's allegations include Baldoni improvising unwanted kisses and discussing his sexual life, as well as Heath showing her a video of his nude wife and entering her dressing room uninvited while she was undressed or breastfeeding. Following a meeting attended by Lively, Baldoni, Heath, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and representatives from Sony Pictures, several demands were made to address the hostile work environment. These demands included no more showing of nude videos or images to Lively, no further discussions about Baldoni's alleged pornography addiction, and no additional sex scenes outside the approved script. Baldoni's legal team has denied the allegations, describing them as false and an attempt to repair Lively's reputation. Lively hopes her legal action will expose retaliatory tactics against those who speak out about misconduct.
