, laying out her allegations of sexual harassment and what she claims is a coordinated effort to destroy her reputation, but Baldoni's team has fired back calling the allegations a false attempt to rehab her reputation.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, things got so bad during filming, there was an all-hands-on-deck meeting to address what she claims was a hostile work environment. The lawsuit lists the demands that were addressed ... she says because of Baldni's conduct. Among those demands -- no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni's alleged previous"pornography addiction," no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew's genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake's weight, and no further mention of Blake's dead father.
The suit claims the demands were embraced and approved by the studio, but in the end the film flopped, in part because of a huge conflict over how it would be marketed. Blake wanted a more upbeat pitch about her character's resilience, whereas Baldoni wanted the focus to be on domestic violence. Lively claims Baldoni and company then engaged in a"social manipulation" campaign to"destroy" Lively's reputation. The suit includes texts from Baldoni's publicist to the studio publicist which says Baldoni"wants to feel like can be buried, and"We can't write we will destroy her.
