Story behind Blake Lively's bombshell bullying claims: The extraordinary accusations including sex scenes, fat shaming, talking to the dead, the 30 'rules' laid down to save troubled film... and how accused co-star is fighting back, revealed by FRED KELLY
How on earth did a film intended to highlight the issue of domestic abuse - starring two seemingly squeaky-clean Hollywood stars - become Tinseltown's biggest scandal of the year?
At the weekend, that was brought to the fore again following bombshell reports that Lively – who found fame on TV soap opera Gossip Girl – had filed an 80-page legal complaint against Baldoni. The story starts on January 4 this year, shortly before filming on the project resumed following industry strikes in 2023, when 37-year-old Lively demanded an ‘all hands’ meeting to address what her legal complaint describes as the ‘hostile environment’ on set. Lively claims that on July 31, a week before the premiere, Baldoni hired a crisis communications specialist named Melissa Nathan, who had previously helped revive the image of beleaguered actor Johnny Depp as well as the controversial rappers Drake and Travis Scott.
