Blake Lively Says Two Other Women Are Willing to Testify Against Justin Baldoni

by

In a recent turn of events in the Lively vs. Baldoni legal dispute, two new figures have entered the scene. On February 18, Blake Lively submitted an updated complaint, which includes allegations that two other actresses on the set of ‘It Ends With Us’ were discomforted by director Justin Baldoni and are prepared to testify about it. The filing states, “Notably, and in contrast to the entire storyline Defendants have concocted, Mr. Baldoni admitted to these complaints in writing at the time. He was aware that women besides Ms. Lively also felt uneasy and had voiced their concerns about his conduct.

According to Lively’s account, one of the actors informed Sony executive Ange Giannetti that Baldoni’s behavior was affecting the movie production. This led Giannetti to communicate these concerns to Baldoni’s production company, Wayfarer. The lawsuit states that Baldoni then wrote a statement acknowledging these concerns and promising changes. Later, the same actress told Lively that her worries about the set conditions persisted. Another actress, as per the lawsuit, shared with Lively that she also felt uneasy on the set.

The legal drama surrounding the movie “It Ends With Us” kicked off when Lively initiated a lawsuit against Baldoni, Wayfarer, and his crisis management team in December 2024, accusing them of sexual harassment, retaliation, and defamation (as stated in her newly amended complaint). Notably, individuals such as the original writer of “It Ends With Us”, Colleen Hoover, and cast member Jenny Slate have previously supported Lively. However, this is the first time other parties related to the case have been involved in the legal dispute. Unfortunately, it seems this conflict may drag on for some time.
