Blake Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, accusing actor and director Justin Baldoni of sexually harassing her and behaving inappropriately during the filming of "It Ends With Us." The New York Times reviewed the complaint, which details Baldoni’s and producer Jamey Heath’s disturbing behavior.
Addressing Inappropriate Conduct on Set
The actress, represented by her husband Ryan Reynolds, described how Baldoni showed her explicit material and made inappropriate comments about pornography addictions and genitalia.
Accusations of a Smear Campaign
Lively also accused Baldoni's public relations team of orchestrating a smear campaign to retaliate against her for speaking out about workplace misconduct.
Despite the film grossing over $350 million at the box office, reports revealed creative tensions and on-set conflicts between the co-stars.
Lively, who also worked as a producer on the film, stated that she aims to expose the retaliatory tactics she experienced and prevent others from facing similar treatment.
Attorney Denies Allegations and Makes Counterclaims
Bryan Freedman, attorney for Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer Studios, denied the allegations, labeling them as "false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious." Freedman also accused Lively’s team of planting fabricated stories in the media to harm Baldoni’s reputation.
