Blake Lively Sues Justin Baldoni for Harassment

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign against her. Support for Lively has poured in from fellow cast members, notably Jenny Slate, who called the attack on Lively 'dark and disturbing', praising her bravery. The lawsuit claims Baldoni's behavior caused Lively and her family severe emotional harm and involved inappropriate discussions about her weight and personal beliefs. In addition to Baldoni, the complaint names several others, including producer Jamey Heath and public relations executives, accusing them of orchestrating a campaign to tarnish Lively's reputation during the film's promotional cycle. Lively's allegations come after a period of social media speculation regarding tensions on set, with co-stars reportedly unfollowing Baldoni amid concerns over the film's promotion. The case underscores ongoing issues of harassment and accountability within Hollywood.
