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.

Oh he didn't. He was trying to protect himself. See this is where you need to have ALL the info

To stop him kissing her. Which he is ignoring. Which is bad.

Yes but they are in character! And he is an abuser. Sorry, but I cannot take this as blatant SH/SA.

I am v open to different views, debating is always good IMO

Oh maybe. I’m not asking you to defend her merely observing how much you’re attacking her. There is a middle way.

There is. Agreed.

Him attacking her is not him defending himself.

Personally as I have no real information at present there are no facts just allegations, I treat all with a pinch of salt or I have to treat all claims on both sides as truth. Both have amended their lawsuits. Nothing has been proven. Once your stance is sealed so early on, especially on people you don't even know, it just becomes entrenched and no nuance can be found.

I get you, but I am ready for this new info tomorrow and if there is something concrete, then fine.

Where is the attack?

I don't follow celeb gossip but he sounds like a right fucking creep to me from what I've read lately.

Although, he has posted a LOT of texts, emails etc, so that is evidence as far as I am concerned rather than allegatuons

When he told his PR team to ruin her reputation that was an attack, not defence.

Stating allegations as absolute fact doesn't help with these cases. But both parties could be telling the truth, both parties could be lying, or on some sort of spectrum. the evidence so far may not even be accepted as admissible. I remember all of Amber Heards photographs prior to trial and once it came to court the metadata was completely screwed and she barely had any and those shown had to have a disclaimer. At present this is lawyers speak and originally Jed Wallace was named for the PR vendetta and a few weeks later his name is dropped, because allegations are just that

That scene is clearly not meant to be a sexual abuser forcing himself on an unwilling woman, but two people who are really into each other.

That you are now defending how it looks by saying 'oh but he is playing a sexual abuser, he's in character' isn't a great defence, is it?

You should read more. Preferably something other than tabloid nonsense.

I'm curious have you read the book, Ryle before they even spoke was angry. The red flags present from the start. He's abusive and manipulating even when lily was trying to set boundaries. This isn't a rom com and his character is an abuser

Where have you seen proof of that?

Read more ‘tabloid nonsense’ and get the full picture before solidifying your opinion on someone.

Why would I read the book? In the scene that was put out by Baldoni, he is clearly trying to do things physically to her and she is saying not to do it, not in character but as Lively. And Baldoni doesn't stop. If you are suggesting that because he is playing an abuser that gives him licence to act like an abuser to a real person because he is 'in character' then I disagree.

So when they say action they are not in character? So when it's call for scenes that involve anger or violence is that Justin or Ryle. I'm very much still open and I have many questions and that includes the script and direction of that scene because the book is very important and the adaptation.

So when they say action they are not in character?

The dialogue in that scene is very much Lively and Baldoni talking as themselves and not in character because the dialogue was not supposed to be recorded. So no, they were not in character when Lively was pushing back on Baldoni kissing her.

@noblegiraffe I have just watched it through yet again

Could you help me out cause it's ten minutes, and pin point for me with the timing where the abuse/harassment etc is that I'm not seeing. I want to get your point of view

If you post the link again.

But the comments from the intimacy coordinator above probably cover it:
When asked what stood out to her about the scene, she said: 'The first thing is that he is trying to kiss her, and they clearly haven’t discussed that ahead of time, and she keeps pulling away and clearly doesn’t want to do that.'
Adding there was 'no kissing written into the scene' (a script excerpt reads 'EXT BAR – NIGHT. Lily and Ryle slow dance in the bar. Patrons around them drinking and watching sports. Completely in their own world'),
Schacter said if an intimacy coordinator had been present, they would have stopped any kissing.
She says it was Baldoni's responsibility to ask Lively what she thought of kissing in scene - but claims 'he just went for it. She pulled away, and then he did it again.'

she wasn't the intimacy coordinator. she's just one who gave her view and wasn't it rumoured she was paid for this? anyway, they don't kiss in the scene do they? there was no kissing. he says about almost kissing and she agrees to it. how are you supposed to film almost kissing without almost kissing? Unless she says no Im not comfortable stop trying to kiss me, how would he know she didn't want to do this?
