Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni reunited on the recent set of It Ends With Us, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hit romance. At the time of the release of the feature film this August, the two actors of the film never appeared together to promote the film internationally. This Saturday, December 21, the magazine “TMZ” revealed that the actress has filed a complaint against her co-star for sexual harassment. The American media reveals that the actress had made several requests to the production in order to have a more respectful work environment. Blake Lively asked that her co-star Justin Baldoni no longer show her “videos or images of naked women”, to stop talking about his “addiction to pornography” or even to stop talking about the private life of the actress. The Gossip Girl star is also said to have asked to stop adding “scenes of sex, oral sex, or orgasm on camera by Blake Lively outside of the framework of the script that the actress approved.
A Social Manipulation
During the promotion of the film and shortly after the theatrical release of the feature film It Ends With Us, the actress suffered cyberbullying that caused her popularity to drop. Regarding this complaint, she also targets Justin Baldoni for “social manipulation.” Indeed, Blake Lively claims that the actor and his company have launched a campaign to tarnish her reputation. A war between the actors that started months ago but has recently taken a completely different turn. In a statement to “TMZ”, relayed by the media, Blake Lively said: “I hope that my legal action will help draw the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who talk about misconduct and to help protect others who may be targeted.”
