Blake Lively Accuses “It Ends With Us” Director of Sexual Harassment and Retaliation

Blake Lively has filed a legal complaint against “It Ends With Us” director Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her after she raised concerns about his behavior on set. The complaint, obtained by E! News, alleges Baldoni and his team sought to discredit Lively by spreading rumors about her and even suggesting planting stories about her “weaponizing feminism,” referencing other female celebrities like Taylor Swift.

Lively claims Baldoni “intrusively” questioned her about her sex life with husband Ryan Reynolds during filming and that he and his team engaged in “retaliation tactics” after she reported a hostile work environment. Baldoni’s lawyer denies the allegations, calling them a “desperate attempt” to repair Lively’s own damaged reputation.

The complaint also details alleged attempts by Baldoni’s team to manipulate media narratives and discredit other celebrities who might support Lively, including Leighton Meester, Anna Kendrick, and Ben Affleck.
