Blake Lively is suing “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and campaigning to “destroy” her reputation

They starred in Ends With Us, but their legal battle has just begun.

As TMZ reports, Blake Lively has filed a bombshell lawsuit against co-star Justin Baldoni for sexually harassing her on the set of their hit film.

According to the legal documents, the actress also accused Baldoni – who also served as the film’s director – of “a coordinated effort to destroy her reputation” following the film’s release.

She says the smear campaign has damaged her business and caused her family to suffer “severe emotional distress.”

“It Ends With Us,” a domestic violence drama based on Colleen Hoover’s best-selling book, hit theaters last summer.

At the time, there were rumors of a feud between Lively and Baldoni, who refused to appear together to promote the film.

Lively also suffered a barrage of bad publicity and was called a “bad girl” after a journalist claimed an unpleasant interview with the star caused her to quit her job.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, spoke out heavily about Lively’s new lawsuit, telling TMZ that it was an attempt to “enhance her negative reputation,” adding that the claims were “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with the intent to be public.” to hurt”.

He added that she was a “nightmare” on set.

However, according to TMZ, which obtained the legal documents, Lively claims that it was Baldoni who made things untenable while filming the drama.

She claims: “Things got so bad during filming that there was an all-hands meeting to address what they felt was a hostile work environment.”

Her superstar husband Ryan Reynolds attended this meeting.

As part of the tense meeting, Lively and Reynolds demanded that “Blake no longer be shown nude videos or images of women, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged past ‘pornography addiction,’ and no more discussions about Blake’s sexual conquests.”

They also stipulated that Baldoni “was not allowed to make any inquiries about Blake’s weight” and “made no further mention of her dead father.”

Lively also requested that “no additional sex scenes, oral sex, or on-camera climaxes” be added beyond the scope of the script she approved when signing on to the project.
