Blake Lively Dropped Out of Hosting ‘SNL’ Premiere Amid Costar Drama


Blake Lively claimed in her lawsuit against ‘It Ends With Us’ costar and director, Justin Baldoni, that she dropped out of hosting the ‘SNL’ season 50 premiere due to their alleged drama

In a lawsuit obtained by Us Weekly after it was reported by TMZ and The New York Times on Friday, December 20, Lively’s lawyers stated that she scored the hosting gig but decided to back out amid tension with her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni. Lively’s lawyers alleged that the actress’ professional commitments were impacted by what they believe was a “multi-tiered plan” to destroy her reputation after she called a meeting to address “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” by Baldoni, 40, and a producer on the film. In the suit, Lively, 37, sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and claimed his public relations team orchestrated the campaign against her during the promotion of It Ends With Us this summer.
