Justin Baldoni Alleges Blake Lively Didn't Read 'It Ends With Us' Book


Justin Baldoni is accusing his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively of not putting in the work when it came to starring in the book-to-movie adaptation. Baldoni, 40, and his production company Wayfarer Studios filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, 37, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, on Thursday, January…

“Not only did Lively’s power play cost numerous people their jobs, but at every turn, her wrongheaded creative decisions reflected her fundamental lack of understanding of the book the Film was based on,” Baldoni’s filing, obtained by Us Weekly, reads. Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC ImagesPublicists affected by Lively also told Us in a statement: “It is devastating that we are forced to answer this viciously selfish ongoing litigation littered with documented and provable lies in the midst of the tragedy impacting California where we reside. This malicious attack on private individuals by Ms. Lively and her team in which they chose to spoon feed The New York Times with doctored, out of context and edited text messages in an effort to paint herself as a victim set off a chain of events that has been harmful beyond measure.
