Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are engaged in a legal battle that has escalated into a public dispute. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film ' It Ends With Us ,' in late December, alleging sexual harassment and reputational damage. The lawsuit stems from claims that sexual harassment occurred during the production of the movie.
Baldoni's legal team counters that Lively's accusations have caused significant financial harm to Baldoni and his production company.Lawyers representing both sides appeared in a Manhattan federal court hearing on Monday, where they reiterated their accusations of unfair play. Lively's attorney, Michael Gottlieb, argued that Baldoni's lawyer had made inflammatory public statements that were damaging to Lively's reputation. In response, Bryan Freedman, representing Baldoni and his production company, stated that Lively's decision to take her complaints about Baldoni to the media was the catalyst for the current situation. He asserted that Baldoni and his company had suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in damages as a result of Lively's claims.The legal conflict surrounding 'It Ends With Us' has cast a shadow over the film's success. Despite exceeding box office expectations with a $50 million debut in August, the movie's release was marred by speculation about the alleged discord between Lively and Baldoni. Lively rose to prominence with her role in the 2005 film 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' and solidified her stardom on the TV series 'Gossip Girl.' Baldoni gained recognition for his role in the TV comedy 'Jane the Virgin,' his direction of the 2019 film 'Five Feet Apart,' and his book 'Man Enough,' which challenges traditional masculinity.
