As a film enthusiast, I’ve been following the ongoing legal dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. The drama started when Lively alleged that Baldoni, her co-star in “It Ends with Us,” harassed her sexually on set and waged a defamatory campaign against her. Since then, both parties have taken each other to court. Recently, there’s been some heated exchanges, with Lively’s team criticizing an image used in a recent article about the case. However, within the article itself, some of Baldoni’s past collaborators spoke up about their experiences working with him.
The story that I’m referring to was originally published in The Hollywood Reporter, featuring a unique artwork showcasing Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, Ryan Reynolds, and other cast members from the upcoming film “It Ends with Us.” The written article contains purported details about the set environment of the movie. One of the claims suggests that Baldoni’s religious beliefs, specifically his adherence to Baha’i faith, may have influenced his interactions with others on set. Regarding the ongoing disagreement, an insider from “IEWU” commented on the dynamic between Baldoni and Lively as follows:
The Justin I’m familiar with doesn’t seem to be the type who could perform the actions he’s been accused of, given his strong identity as a feminist. However, it appears that Blake found the situation uncomfortable. To me, it seems like an unfortunate collision of two starkly different characters.

In December 2024, Blake Lively submitted a complaint, following which Justin Baldoni refuted the accusations and was dismissed from WME talent agency. After Lively eventually filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, his Wayfarer Studios company, and others for similar reasons mentioned in the initial complaint, Baldoni counter-sued Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and others as part of a $400 million lawsuit alleging extortion, defamation, and other offenses. Earlier, Baldoni also sued The New York Times due to libel and more. More recently, the actress from “Rhythm Section” stated that two additional women encountered problems with Baldoni during their time on the set of “IEWU.
THR’s account continued to reveal additional aspects of the Baha’i faith, such as the absence of a central authority within its structure. Instead, it is emphasized that the religious community functions collectively. People who collaborated with Justin Baldoni during his 2019 project, “Five Feet Apart”, were among the sources that discussed how these principles influenced Baldoni’s creative process. One individual asserted there was a sense of openness and emotionality in Baldoni’s approach, while another elaborated on his philosophical outlook.
Every individual, regardless of their position within the organization, holds value. It’s essential for everyone to feel empowered to voice any issues or concerns they may have about our shared community. He often preferred using the term ‘community’.
Several significant figures have expressed their opinions on the Lively/Baldoni predicament lately. Among them is Ari Emmanuel, head of WME, who dismissed the actress from “Jane the Virgin” in light of the scandal. In a recent interview, he declared his unwavering loyalty towards Lively and Ryan Reynolds, while also labeling Baldoni as “nonsense.” It appears that this issue has sparked the interest of “SNL” producer Lorne Michaels, who reportedly couldn’t help but discuss it with Dana Carvey following the show’s recent 50th anniversary special.
Gregory Doll, a partner at law firm Doll Amir & Eley, expressed his view that the ongoing dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively might escalate further as they both invest more resources into it. A potential trial is slated for March 9, 2026. For now, we can only observe whether additional individuals who’ve collaborated with Baldoni – along with Lively – will share their experiences related to this situation, similar to the recent sources that have come forward.
