Actor and film director Justin Baldoni has leaked an alleged script page from his 2024 film “It Ends With Us” to defend himself against actress Blake Lively’s accusations of sexual harassment on set. The allegations, made in a federal lawsuit filed by Blake, claim that Justin “routinely degraded” her “by finding back-channel ways of criticizing her body and weight.”
However, the leaked script page appears to contradict Blake’s claims. According to the alleged script, Justin was preparing for a scene where his character would lift Blake’s character, and he reached out to his personal trainer to train his back muscles. He claimed this was necessary to avoid injury, both for himself and for Blake.
The script also shows that Justin offered Blake help with her strep throat, connecting her with an expert who provided probiotic recommendations. In the alleged text conversation, there is no mention of weight loss or fat-shaming.
Justin’s lawyer has defended his actions, stating that he was simply trying to prepare for a scene and maintain his physical health. The director hopes that this evidence will prove his case in court and clear his name of the harassment allegations.
The lawsuits are ongoing, with both sides presenting their cases.
