Blake Lively Suing Justin Baldoni for Sexual Harassment in High-Profile Hollywood Feud

The Hollywood feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, co-stars of the film It Ends With Us, has escalated into a high-profile legal battle with accusations of sexual harassment and career sabotage from both sides. Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation, while Baldoni countered by accusing Lively of shutting him out of the project and attempting to damage his career. A Discovery+ documentary explores the conflict in depth, presenting both perspectives and featuring insights from legal experts, Hollywood insiders, and PR specialists. The controversy intensified after an incident at Lively's New York home involving her, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor Swift, which Baldoni perceived as intimidation. Lively's deposition was postponed to late July, and her lawsuit against a PR expert allegedly involved in a smear campaign was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds but may be refiled. The dispute highlights broader issues such as misogyny, toxic masculinity, and the manipulation of social media and legal systems in Hollywood disputes.
