The feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, her co-star and director in It Ends With Us, involved allegations of violation and retaliation. Lively claimed Baldoni created a hostile work environment and attempted to damage her reputation after she raised concerns. Baldoni denied the accusations and filed lawsuits against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times, alleging defamation and career sabotage. The legal battle reignited debates about accountability in Hollywood, with tensions overshadowing the film’s production.

New court documents reveal shocking details about Blake Lively’s efforts to hold Justin Baldoni accountable—and she is not alone in her claims.

Blake Lively’s amended complaint alleges that she was not the only one with concerns about Justin Baldoni’s behavior on the set of It Ends With Us. The filing claims Baldoni was aware of other women who felt “uncomfortable” and had reportedly complained about him. Text messages cited in the lawsuit show Lively describing Baldoni and producer Jamie Heath as “creeps” and confiding in a friend about feeling distressed after filming.

The documents reveal Lively escalated her concerns to Sony employee Ange Gianetti, the film’s representative, and that another female cast member raised similar issues with Gianetti and a producer. Lively also negotiated protections with Sony and Wayfarer Studios to ensure a safer set post-strikes, including mandatory meetings to address misconduct. Despite these measures, she expressed dread about returning.

While Lively fights for accountability in court, her personal life collided with the controversy in a viral Saturday Night Live moment.

The couple recently attended the Saturday Night Live 50th-anniversary special and Ryan Reynolds made a quip that inadvertently dragged his wife’s legal battle into the spotlight. When asked by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler how he was doing, Reynolds replied, “Great! Why, what have you heard?” The joke drew laughs but earned a sharp side-eye from Blake Lively, who has been vocal about the emotional toll of her lawsuit against Baldoni.

Social media erupted over the exchange, with critics accusing the couple of downplaying serious allegations amid Lively’s ongoing harassment claims. Many condemned the timing as insensitive, arguing it undermined her distress. While Reynolds remained silent, the backlash highlighted the precarious balance between personal struggles and public personas in Hollywood, where private controversies often collide with career demands under relentless scrutiny. The incident reignited debates about accountability and the ethical responsibilities of celebrities when addressing sensitive issues in the public eye.
