The blast radius from It Ends With Us has gone nuclear with Blake Lively denouncing director and co-star Justin Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios and others on the domestic violence film for sexually harassing her and subsequently enacting “a coordinated effort to destroy her reputation.”
“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively said today in a statement provided to Deadline. Baldoni, through his lawyer Bryan Freedman, calls the allegations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”
