Blake Lively Accuses ‘It Ends With Us’ Co-Star Justin Baldoni of Sexual Harassment; His Lawyer Slams ‘Shameful’ Complaint Full of ‘False Accusations’


Justin Baldoni's lawyer slams Lively's complaint as "shameful" and says it is full of "categorically false accusations."

In a bombshell filing, the actress alleges that Baldoni attempted to mount a smear campaign against her and claims his behavior caused her and her family “severe emotional distress” (per a legal complaint obtained by the New York Times). “Wayfarer Studios made the decision to proactively hire a crisis manager prior to the marketing campaign of the film, to work alongside their own representative with Jonesworks employed by Stephanie Jones, due to the multiple demands and threats made by Ms. Lively during production which included her threatening to not showing up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met. The statement concludes: “The representatives of Wayfarer Studios still did nothing proactive nor retaliated, and only responded to incoming media inquiries to ensure balanced and factual reporting and monitored social activity.
