Why Is Blake Lively Suing Justin Baldoni? Her ‘It Ends With Us’ Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Just months after rumors spread about tension between Blake and Justin on the set of their movie, she sued him for sexual harassment.

It all started when TikTok users noticed that film star Blake Lively and her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, didn’t pose for pictures together at the August 6, 2024, New York City premiere. Justin reportedly has a history of back issues, and after he allegedly asked an on-set trainer how much Blake weighed, she felt that he was fat-shaming her, according to the outlet. In response to her lawsuit, Justin’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, calling Blake’s lawsuit “shameful” that she and her representatives “would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives, as yet another desperate attempt to ‘fix’ her negative reputation which was garnered from her own remarks and actions during the campaign for the film; interviews and press activities that were observed publicly, in real time and unedited, which allowed for the internet to generate their own views and opinions.”
