Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and hate campaigns

Blake Lively has declared legal war on her former “It Ends with Us” co-star and director Justin Baldonioutlining her allegations of sexual harassment and claiming it was a coordinated attempt to destroy her reputation, but Baldoni’s team has pushed back, calling the allegations a false attempt to restore her reputation.

According to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ, things got so bad during filming that a meeting was held by everyone involved to address what they said was a hostile work environment. Ryan ReynoldsBlake’s husband was among those in attendance.

The lawsuit lists the claims that were addressed… it says because of Baldni’s conduct. These demands include no more showing Blake nude videos or images of women, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged former “pornography addiction,” no more discussions of sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mention of the cast and crew’s genitals, none more questions about Blake’s weight and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.

There’s also a requirement that BL “shall not add any additional sex scenes, oral sex, or on-camera climaxes that go beyond the scope of the script that BL approved when signing the project.”

The lawsuit alleges that the demands were accepted and approved by the studio, but in the end the film failed, in part due to a major conflict over how it should be marketed. Blake wanted to portray her character’s resilience in a more optimistic way, while Baldoni wanted to focus on domestic violence.

Lively claims Baldoni and the company then engaged in a “social manipulation campaign” to “destroy” Lively’s reputation. The lawsuit includes texts from Baldoni’s publicist to the studio publicist that say Baldoni “wants to feel like (Ms. Lively) can be buried and ‘We can’t write, we’ll destroy her.’

The lawsuit alleges that Lively’s campaign harmed her business and caused her family “severe emotional distress.”

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedmancriticized the lawsuit, saying it was intended to “enhance their negative reputation,” adding that the claims were “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with the intent to publicly offend.”

Freedman goes on to say that Lively was a nightmare on set: “The threat of not showing up on set, the threat of not promoting the film ultimately led to its downfall during release.”
