Actress Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her former “It Ends with Us” costar and director Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated smear campaign to destroy her reputation.
According to the lawsuit, a hostile work environment was created during filming, prompting an all-hands-on-deck meeting. Ryan Reynolds, Blake’s husband, attended the meeting.
The demands listed in the lawsuit include no more explicit content or discussions of sex conquests, as well as no further inquiries about Blake’s weight or body image. The suit claims these changes were approved by the studio but led to a conflict over marketing strategy.
Blake Lively is seeking damages for emotional distress and harm to her business, while Justin Baldoni’s lawyer claims the allegations are false and intended to damage Lively’s reputation.
