The drama between It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has gone beyond public disagreements, as Lively recently filed a lawsuit against Baldoni alleging sexual harassment. This shocking turn of events reveals troubling incidents that occurred behind the scenes during the film’s production.
Blake Lively Sues Justin Baldoni
According to Blake Lively, the work environment during the filming was hostile and upsetting. She raised concerns over inappropriate behaviors from Baldoni, which included remarks about her weight, her late father, and discussions about pornography and other inappropriate topics. In her lawsuit, Lively also mentioned Baldoni showing explicit videos and photos, which made her deeply uncomfortable.
To address these issues, Lively made several demands, including having an intimacy coordinator present during her scenes with Baldoni and banning inappropriate comments on set. A meeting involving Lively, Baldoni, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others was held to address the situation, but the problems persisted.

Lively’s legal filing accused Baldoni and his company Wayfarer Studios of trying to ruin her reputation through social media campaigns and false narratives. Her legal representative referred to this as “social manipulation” aimed at discrediting her. Baldoni’s legal team has denied all allegations, claiming the lawsuit is an attempt by Lively to repair her public image.
Blake Lively explained her reasons for filing the lawsuit in a statement. She said, “I hope this legal action exposes the harmful tactics used against those who speak out about misconduct. I want this to help protect others who may face similar targeting.”
So far, Justin Baldoni has not commented on the lawsuit. His legal team continues to deny all allegations, maintaining that the claims are untrue.
This case highlights the ongoing fight for respectful and safe work environments in the entertainment industry. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but Blake Lively’s decision to speak out might pave the way for change.
