The “It Ends With Us” cast drama ventured into workplace safety and workers compensation territory this week when celebrity news site TMZ reported that actor Justin Baldoni inquired of an on-the-set fitness trainer Blake Lively’s weight, as he was supposed to lift her to film a romantic scene.
Ms. Lively, who allegedly quarreled with the actor over issues with kissing scenes and the script, saw the episode mentioning her weight as being “fat-shamed,” as she had just given birth months before filming began, according to the report.
But Mr. Baldoni, who has not responded to the allegations, was just being mindful of preventing a workplace injury: “he has a history of back issues and wanted to know how to properly train to avoid hurting himself,” TMZ reported.
