Blake Lively Accuses Co-Star Justin Baldoni of Se*ual Harassment During ‘It Ends with Us’ Shoot
Blake Lively, the American actress known for her roles in *Gossip Girl* and *A Simple Favor*, has recently filed a lawsuit against her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, accusing him of se*ual harassment during the filming of *It Ends with Us*.
In her legal claim, Lively alleges that Baldoni created an unsafe environment on set, which included showing her explicit photos and videos of women, as well as making inappropriate comments about her supposed past with porn addiction.
TMZ reports that Baldoni’s legal team has strongly denied the allegations, calling them unfounded and baseless.
The controversy intensified when old interviews of Lively, in which she appeared to be 'rude' to reporters, began to resurface and went viral on social media.
As the legal battle unfolded, photos from August emerged showing Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her close friend, Taylor Swift, standing by her side during this challenging time. In the pictures, Lively is seen keeping a low profile while hugging Reynolds outside their home.
Swift, who has often shared glimpses of the couple’s home on social media, especially during her Fourth of July celebrations, was also spotted arriving at Lively’s mansion in late August. This came shortly after Lively faced backlash for promoting her alcohol brand, Betty Booze, during the release of *It Ends with Us*, a film focused on domestic violence.
Despite the ongoing drama surrounding the lawsuit, *It Ends with Us* became a major box-office hit, grossing approximately $351 million against a $25 million budget.
