Blake Lively has sued It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment. According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ and The New York Times, Baldoni’s alleged behavior caused Lively, 37, “severe emotional distress.” The lawsuit alleges that there was a meeting conducted to address Lively’s claims that there was a “hostile […]

The poignant Instagram post came after news broke that Lively has filed a lawsuit against It Ends With Us’ director and lead actor, Justin Baldoni, 40. A link to an article about the lawsuit was attached to Hoover’s Instagram post.

In the lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, December 20, and obtained by Us Weekly after it was reported on by TMZ and The New York Times, Lively accused Baldoni of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation.

Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni on Friday, which claimed a meeting was held during production of It Ends With Us in January 2024 to address Lively’s claims against her costar.

Per the lawsuit, Lively’s demands included “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”

Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman addressed Lively’s “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” allegations in a statement to Us. He claimed Lively filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the production of the film.

He further alleged the actress made “multiple demands and threats” during filming, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

In a statement to The New York Times in December, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

The actress denied spreading negative information about Baldoni.

Rumors were rife earlier this year that there was bad blood between Lively and Baldoni when they did not do press for the film together while on the promotional trail ahead of its release in August.
