Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her former ‘It Ends with Us’ co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and a coordinated effort to destroy her reputation. 

The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, claims that Baldoni’s behavior created a hostile work environment during the film’s production. Lively alleges the situation became so severe that an all-hands-on-deck meeting was called to address the issues, with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, among the attendees.

Lively’s legal team outlines a series of demands she made in response to Baldoni’s alleged conduct, including requests for no more showing of nude videos or images of women, cessation of discussions about Baldoni’s alleged ****ography addiction, and no further comments about her weight or deceased father. She also requested that no additional explicit scenes, including sex or oral sex, be added to the script without her approval. According to the lawsuit, these demands were approved by the studio.

Despite these actions, the lawsuit claims the film’s marketing became a point of conflict. Lively wanted the film to focus on her character’s resilience, while Baldoni favored emphasizing the theme of domestic violence. Lively alleges that Baldoni and his team then orchestrated a "social manipulation" campaign to damage her reputation, causing both personal and professional harm. The suit includes texts from Baldoni’s publicist discussing how to "bury" Lively’s image.  source source

So she's trying to save face after being called out for being a horrible person.

I would like to see who the cast and crew overall get behind.

It Ends With A Lawsuit

[CyanDante 5,970]

But didnt most of the reactions come from her own interviews or how she behaved in them? What did Baldoni have to do with that?

She was busy promoting her hair brand during a promotion of her movie about domestic violence.

Blake Lively woke up that day and chose to retire, to not have a career anymore

Nobody will go against Blake and her husband... It already happened when they were promoting the movie...

Tbh, everybody knows she's a mean girl... For years. 

I wouldn't mind if her and Ryan go down after this. Off topic but every time I think about Ryan, I remember what Martha Stewart said and how he basically confirmed it lol

Wow, this person won’t just listen, learn, and take an L. 
 

She needs to grow up and take accountability for her actions and the way SHE RUINED HER OWN CAREER. I feel sorry for her kids, look at the parents that they have to look up to. 
 

Edit: There seems to be evidence that they’re both horrible people. I stand with non of them. 
 

Edit: Before anyone with no life quotes me, this was my opinion before even more evidence came out. I hope that Blake gets justice.

I don’t trust her or her husband. She’s proven to be difficult already and this lawsuit screams “I want to ruin you” and that is gross to me. 

[Bronco 8,281]

Honestly I don't remember the last time anyone even talked about her or this film or the drama around it.

The world had moved on. And now she's like "wait actually talk about how much of a bad person I am again".

Like I am on the side that she is in the wrong, but with her allegations I would like to see where everyone stands lol bc some people say most of the cast unfollowed Balboni on IG during the controversy but idk the truth of that.

I don't like her and she will 100% use her incredible wealth to destroy Baldoni's career rightly or wrongly...

But just because she's incredibly unlikeable and seemingly a terrible person doesn't mean she can't also be a victim

[Elohim 1,618]

She’s kind of unbearable tbh

[Wet Fire 6,991]

She misleadingly promotes a romcom and her haircare line during the campaign of a movie about SA and domestic violence. And got rightly called out for that. She talked about no resilience that she's claiming she did. She's the one to blame for her tarnished reputation.

Has Justin ever spoken ill about Blake? Because from what I remember, people have specifically pointed out that despite there obviously being tension between him and Blake during the movie's promo tour (them doing it separately and all), he hasn't spoken ill of her once, and even complimented her saying she was ready to direct the next movie...
