Blake Lively accuses co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment, smear campaign

Hollywood actress Blake Lively has sued her co-star and director of the romance film It Ends With Us (2024), Justin Baldoni. She is accusing him and the film's producer, Jamey Heath, of sexual harassment and waging what she called a "social manipulation" campaign to "destroy" her reputation.

The American actor has been dropped by his talent agency WME in the wake of the accusations.

According to a legal complaint Lively filed on Dec 20, which is a precursor to a lawsuit, a meeting was held to address Baldoni's actions and what the American actress felt was a hostile work environment during the production of the movie. The meeting was attended by various figures, including Lively's husband, Canadian-American actor Ryan Reynolds.

During the meeting, Lively, 37, demanded safeguards, including a full-time intimacy coordinator for sexual scenes on the film, which is an adaptation of a best-selling romance novel of the same name by Colleen Hoover.

According to a report by The New York Times, Lively claimed that Baldoni, 40, had improvised unwanted kissing scenes and discussed his sex life, while Heath showed her a video of his wife in the nude. She added that both men entered her make-up trailer without her consent while she was undressed, including instances when she was breastfeeding.
