Blake Lively Claims She Missed Hosting ‘SNL’ Season 50 Opener Due to Justin Baldoni Smear Campaign


Blake Lively blames her "It Ends with Us" co-star and director Justin Baldoni for missing out on hosting the "Saturday Night Live" Season 50 opener.

In Lively’s filing against Baldoni, which accused him of smearing her name, she cited her “SNL” Season 50 hosting gig as one of the opportunities that was stripped away in the fallout of his harassment. In the meeting, Lively claimed that Baldoni griped about her weight, talked about his sex life in inappropriate ways and forced her to disclose her religious beliefs. The complaint also showed screenshots of texts and emails between Lively, Baldoni and his team, saying that if any of the problems between the “It Ends with Us” co-stars became public, they would launch a campaign to sully her name.
