In 2024, the film “It Ends With Us” proved to be a substantial box office triumph, a level of success often associated with franchises and reboots within the Hollywood industry. This success even sparked discussions about potential sequels. However, the main narrative surrounding the movie has shifted away from its accomplishments, focusing instead on the legal disputes between co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. These disagreements have escalated to a point where both parties have filed lawsuits against each other.
In the middle of December, Blake Lively lodged a grievance against the production company of It Ends With Us, alleging instances of sexual harassment during filming and a supposed defamation campaign orchestrated by Justin Baldoni, his associates in production, and their hired publicists. The New York Times reported on Lively’s complaint, which later prompted Baldoni to file a lawsuit against the newspaper. In reaction to the new lawsuit, Lively’s legal team has issued a statement through People, addressing the situation…
In contrast to being a dispute stemming from artistic disagreements or a he-said-she-say scenario, as suggested by Ms. Lively’s complaint and evidence we will present in court, Wayfarer Studios and their associates have been accused of illegally retaliating through astroturfing against Ms. Lively, for her effort to safeguard herself and others on a film set. Moreover, their reaction to the lawsuit has been to escalate further attacks against Ms. Lively since she filed it.
In simpler terms, Baldoni argues that The New York Times selectively used information against him in their publication of his texts with publicists, and when all details are disclosed and context is considered, the narrative will change significantly. Meanwhile, Lively’s team asserts that her claims are supported by solid facts.
On a movie set, conflicts among stars are not unusual, but Lively’s team asserts that this situation is more than just a typical feud. If the allegations are valid, they indeed suggest a deeper issue. Even before the release of It Ends With Us, there were rumors of disagreements between Baldoni and the cast.
While early accounts suggested a few creative differences between producer Lively and director Baldoni over aspects like the film’s soundtrack, Lively’s lawsuit, however, delves deeper, outlining more substantial concerns.
Lively asserts that Baldoni frequently barged into her trailer without permission during times when she was both dressing privately and nursing, and alleges that the director would unexpectedly alter scripted scenes to incorporate more intimate moments that hadn’t been prior discussed or rehearsed beforehand.
At first glance, Lively seemed to be portrayed in a more understanding manner due to initial reports about the conflict. However, some began to accuse Lively as the root of the issues. Now, the actress alleges this was an organized attempt to tarnish her reputation, so that her subsequent complaints would not receive proper attention.
With two ongoing lawsuits, it’s anticipated that a third lawsuit could be filed soon, as sources suggest a countersuit from Baldoni against Lively may be imminent. If that occurs, we can expect to hear more details about this situation.
