Blake Lively’s legal war with Justin Baldoni over “It Ends With Us” heats up with no end in sight, Life & Style reports. Lively, 37, amended her harassment suit on Feb. 18, alleging two co-stars also flagged Baldoni’s behavior. An insider says this mess could haunt them both for years.
Lawsuit Escalates With New Claims
Lively’s latest filing claims one actress told Sony about Baldoni’s unwelcome actions, while another confided in her directly. Both women, unnamed so far, will testify in discovery, the documents promise. The “Gossip Girl” alum stands firm, unfazed by Baldoni’s countersuit, the source insists.
Baldoni, 41, hit back with a $400 million defamation claim against Lively and Ryan Reynolds, 48. His lawyers call her new accusations flimsy, lacking proof. For now, trial looms next year, with both sides digging in hard.
Bad Blood Boils Over
Rumors of trouble brewed since the movie’s August 2024 debut, but Lively went public in December with a California complaint. She accused Baldoni of a hostile set—barging in while she breastfed and pushing extra sex scenes—plus a PR smear after she fought back. He denies it all, leaking texts and footage to prove his side.
The insider says Lively fights for principle, not cash, while Baldoni battles to save his name. His team slams her as a bully; hers calls his moves desperate. Either way, this feud’s shadow grows long, they warn.
