In a dramatic turn of events, Blake Lively has initiated a lawsuit against her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and causing “severe emotional distress.” This legal battle unfolds just months after whispers of friction on the set of the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, It Ends with Us.
Lively, 37, outlines a series of disturbing claims in her lawsuit, detailing Baldoni’s conduct throughout the production. Among the allegations are inappropriate comments regarding weight, discussions of sexual topics, and disturbing references to Baldoni’s purported “pornography addiction” made in the presence of Lively and fellow cast members. The actress also accuses Baldoni of showing her explicit images and making lewd remarks about the cast and crew.
The lawsuit reveals that Lively sought to establish clear boundaries during a meeting that included significant figures, such as her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Her requests were explicit: no more sharing nude videos or images, no alterations to the approved script involving sexual content, and no further comments about her late father.
As the situation unfolds, representatives for Lively, Baldoni, and Sony Pictures have yet to provide any comment.
It Ends with Us features Lively as Lily, a woman who falls for Ryle (played by Baldoni), only to grapple with the harsh reality of his abusive nature, setting the stage for an emotionally charged narrative.
