Blake Lively, 37, has amended her complaint alleging that an executive producer on the film “It Ends With Us” made threats against her and her family. Steve Sarowitz, co-founder of Wayfarer Productions and an executive producer on the 2024 film, allegedly compared his battle against Lively to the war between Israel and Hamas.
Sarowitz supposedly stated that if Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds “ever cross the line,” he would go after them, protecting the studio like Israel protected itself from Hamas. He claimed to be prepared to spend $100 million to ruin their lives.
Lively’s amended complaint also reveals new evidence, including previously undisclosed communications with Sony, Wayfarer Studios, and other witnesses. Her lawyers claim that this new information corroborates her original claims of sexual harassment and retaliation.
Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman has responded by stating that the defendants have provided receipts, real-time documents, and video that contradict Lively’s allegations. He believes that upcoming depositions will reveal the truth behind Lively’s claims.
The case is set to go to trial in March 2026, with both sides opting out of mediation.
