What the Hell Is Going On With the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Saga?

A comprehensive breakdown of everything that has happened between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in the 'It Ends With Us' legal saga.

The demands Lively made, and which Baldoni and Heath agreed to, implied the men had talked about sex or shown pornography to her, described their genitals to her, improvised kissing scenes, entered her trailer when she was undressed, and secretly spoken with her personal trainer in order to get her to lose weight for the picture. He also said that Baldoni hadn’t shown Lively had made any defamatory claims other than what she had filed with the California Civil Rights Department (which are privileged), or that Reynolds, the couple’s publicist, or the New York Times “would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.” There are many corners of the internet where Baldoni is now framed as the real victim, but others still support Lively and have compared her treatment in the press to that of Amber Heard, shaming the public for seemingly needing a “perfect victim.” This is because, in a bigger sense, the battle for our hearts and minds is still being waged — only now it’s through legal filings.
