According to TMZ Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment on the set of ‘It Ends With Us’.

According to the lawsuit, a meeting was held in regards to the hostile work environment. Blake demanded that Baldoni stop showing nude videos or images of women to her, 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 and no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing by Blake outside of the script Blake approved when signing onto the project.

Baldoni’s representative have denied the allegations and state this is an effort for Blake to rehabilitate her recent poor image.

US firms are officially commentating on these lawsuits? Law firms? In what capacity?

Mirabai · 05/01/2025 09:26

One firm cannot “confirm” anything about another firm’s lawsuit.

How do you explain the letter seeking safeguards?

noblegiraffe · 05/01/2025 09:40

If she has been sexually harassed and assaulted then does it matter what her ‘motive’ is?

myrtleWilson · 05/01/2025 09:42

Maybe I’ve misinterpreted @Postpartumproblemo and it wasn’t law firms commenting, perhaps retail? Have Target released a statement?

Enough4me · 05/01/2025 22:20

I've read a few reports that his PR were also Depp's and Pitt's. I've tried to see if this is true but, if it is, the parallel seems to be slate the woman she deserves it!

MrsTerryPratchett · 05/01/2025 22:39

Yes, seriously. Enough US firms confirmed this is a PR law suit. She may have been sexually harassed, I can’t deny that. I don’t believe that’s the reason behind her doing this though.

OK let's pick this gem apart.

First, 'US firms'. PR firms, law firms, vague corporations? Who was said it's a PR lawsuit.

Second, 'confirmed' is doing some heavy lifting. Surely a lawsuit requires COURTS to confirm things. Not random 'firms'.

Third, if it is a PR lawsuit. Who cares? These people are famous. PR is their currency. Which is exactly why he hired people to shit all over her image. You could argue that he was manipulating PR first. In fact I will assert that.

Fourth, you 'can't deny' she was sexually harassed. You must know, as does she, that women in Hollywood lose their status and jobs when they are sexually harassed. Men who do the harassing and assaulting, raping, groping and child abuse are feted, given awards and awesome jobs into their dotage. She needs to save her image, he certainly will.

And lastly you don't believe the sexual harassment is the reason she's doing this. That 'PR' is instead. Who, and I cannot stress this enough, gives a fuck? She says she has been sexually harassed. If she wants to punish him in Court, save her image, get some PR, if she wants to wear cute shoes to Court while yodelling, I couldn't care less. He's the one who has done the shit to her. She can be as petty as she likes at this point. I hope she teaches him a very important lesson.

Men in Hollywood have not learned. They didn't learn from Me Too and they haven't learned from years, decades, of this. If Blake Lively manages to score a hit, for whatever reason, I'm happy.

Yup.
Also closely involved with Weinstein.

@MrsTerryPratchett Brilliant response

Firstly, on @katter response, Lively is the one closely affiliated with Weinstein.

Her lawsuit did not include Sexual Harassment, it was simply the PR. She changed it at the eleventh hour.

Watch the videos from the tour, the things she says taking credit for everything, saying how intimacy coordinators are a waste of time. I don’t believe she was sexually harassed for a second and I think it’s horrific for those who have.

I was a Lively super fan until recently. I see Ryan at the centre of all of this.

kirinm · 14/01/2025 08:04

@buttonousmaximous yes I'm sure you were a 'super fan'.

This you? 'She’s an embarrassment- trying to save face as fans really went against her'

This is for @Postpartumproblemo

Sorry @buttonousmaximous for incorrectly tagging you.

Mirabai · 14/01/2025 10:47

@Postpartumproblemo

How do you explain the list before any of this kicked off?

Don’t know whether the “superfan” claim is true or not. If it were - such a hysterical reaction to someone you don’t know is liable to swing the other way on the merest whisper as it’s based on thin air.

MrsTerryPratchett · 14/01/2025 14:42

She may have been sexually harassed, I can’t deny that.

I don’t believe she was sexually harassed for a second

You've not even internally logical.

Enough4me · 14/01/2025 23:34

Not sure if all posters here are all genuine or just never liked BL and happy to see her suffer.

She doesn't have to be 'an angel', for his poor behaviour at the time and after to be investigated. Perhaps it will make other men think again before assuming they can get away with it through having a strong PR team.

Applecharm25 · 19/01/2025 10:25

Anyone following this recently?

Justin Baldoni has countersued now.

noblegiraffe · 19/01/2025 10:34

My Twitter feed has started to be full of posts slating Blake Lively again so that makes sense.

kirinm · 19/01/2025 13:18

His lawyer sounds unhinged. So aggressively unpleasant and threatening. Is this an American thing or is it just him?

I've not heard her lawyer speak like that.

Applecharm25 · 19/01/2025 13:27

It's definitely become a "legal action" culture.

I just told by one of my family members that they were considering doing legal action on me, as I had posted something negative about this family member on a family group chat.

What I said was true and she did do it. She said she was going to do legal action for slander.

I don't think it's slander if she actually did do it to me. She did do it

But I wouldn't put it past her to try sue me for slander.

I took the post down.

Be careful what you post online

ChuggerMugger · 21/01/2025 10:05

www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-lawsuit-complaint-ryan-reynolds-b2681262.html he's counter suing her and RR and it is in minute detail

Applecharm25 · 21/01/2025 10:30

ChuggerMugger · 21/01/2025 10:05

I think it's a bit silly to sue anyone in this day and age.

Obviously they are going to counter sue

And then you get into a battle for years

Like Depp and heard

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/01/2025 14:25

ChuggerMugger · 21/01/2025 10:05

Of course he is. Sometimes the process is the punishment.

I assume you’ve now seen the video footage proving JB is telling the truth.

I was a super fan from GG days, a complete Swiftie first and foremost. Lying about sexual harassment is gross.

I spent 10 hours reading JB’s latest court files. Did you? She is a liar.

noblegiraffe · 21/01/2025 18:56

Can you post this video footage?

@Postpartumproblemo do you have a link to the course documents? Please share if so.
