Blake Lively has sued her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni for “severe emotional distress,” as per a new lawsuit.
TMZ has reportedly seen the documents that allege that a workplace meeting was held to address claims made by the actress that Justin – her costar and director in the adaptation of the Colleen Hoover book – was making inappropriate remarks during production.
The meeting was also attended by Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds, and the demands in the meetings included “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father”.
Other requests included: “No more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing by BL outside the scope of the script BL approved when signing onto the project.”
Sony PIctures, the production company, agreed to the demands but the lawsuit goes on to claim that in retaliation, Justin engaged in a “social manipulation” campaign to “destroy” the actress’ reputation.
Brian Freedman, a lawyer for Justin, has slammed the allegations, calling them “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt”.
He also alleged to TMZ that Blake was a “nightmare” on set, “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release”.
