Blake Lively Sues Justin Baldoni Over 'It Ends With Us' Sexual Harassment and Smear Campaign

Dec 22, 2024, 09:10 PM

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated smear campaign against her. Lively claims that Baldoni engaged in inappropriate behavior on set, including showing her explicit videos and images of other women, discussing his porn addiction, and making inappropriate remarks about her appearance. She also alleges that after she raised concerns about his conduct, Baldoni retaliated by hiring a crisis communications specialist to damage her reputation. Baldoni's lawyer has denied these allegations, describing them as 'categorically false' and an attempt to fix Lively's negative reputation. The lawsuit also mentions that Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, was involved in addressing the hostile work environment during production. Additionally, Lively's 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' co-stars, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, have publicly supported her, condemning the alleged smear campaign as 'vindictive' and highlighting the hypocrisy given the film's theme of domestic violence.
