The lawsuit alleges severe emotional distress caused by Baldoni's behavior.
Blake Lively, 37, has filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, 40, over claims of sexual harassment. The actress accuses Baldoni of inappropriate behavior, including describing his sex life, showing explicit videos of women, and making comments about her weight.
Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior on Set
Blake claims Baldoni repeatedly crossed professional boundaries.
According to court documents, Lively alleges Baldoni discussed his previous porn addiction, showed her naked images of women, and commented on cast members' private parts. She also demanded that no additional intimate scenes be added beyond the approved script.
Blake Lively Demands Action from Sony Pictures
Executives held meetings to address her concerns.
Sony Pictures reportedly approved Lively's requests and arranged a meeting involving Blake’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, to discuss the situation. However, Lively claims Baldoni retaliated with a smear campaign to harm her reputation.
Baldoni Denies Allegations
His lawyer calls the lawsuit "shameful and false."
Justin Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has denied the accusations, calling them “outrageous” and accusing Lively of filing the lawsuit to improve her reputation after being labeled “diva-like” on set.

On-Set Tensions Lead to No Sequel Plans
The co-stars are unlikely to work together again.
Tensions between Lively and Baldoni reportedly affected their promotional efforts, with neither participating in joint interviews. Despite the drama, It Ends with Us grossed $350 million globally, although insiders say a sequel is unlikely.
