INSIDE THE PLOT TO BRING DOWN BLAKE!

The off-screen drama that marred Blake Lively's 2024 release, It Ends With Us, has taken a shocking new turn.

On December 20, Blake filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, her It Ends With Us director and co-star.

She's accused him of inciting a social media smear campaign against her. Justin categorically denies the accusations.

Blake, 37, alleges Justin hired an LA-based crisis management PR firm to orchestrate a campaign to make it seem she was difficult on the movie's set and during its promotional tour in August.

"Blake is horrified," a source tells New Idea. “The experience she had filming that movie was difficult enough, but to then be targeted in such a way has devastated her.”
