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 yes she is represented by BL and RR management.

Candace Owens has done a lot of investigating on this whole situation. She’s on YouTube

She has! Among lots of others. What a tangled web they have weaved!

AngryBird6122 · 07/02/2025 14:24

BTW BL NEVER signed her contract. She could have walked off set immediately with no repercussions or liability whatsoever!

1:35 Baldoni is pressed with lips and nose against her face, Lively pulls back and looks uncomfortable at 1:39, leans away, and when he tries to do it again moves her head down so that he can't.

He then kisses her forehead.

1:54 they 'almost kiss' but she pulls away from him as he goes in for it. Same at 2:08. He then goes in with the mouth on her face again. 2:18 she says 'I think we should be talking...it's more romantic if we're like dancing and talking...the moment you kiss you give the audience what they want to see'.

So she has repeatedly pulled back from him kissing and nuzzling and is now telling him that it shouldn't happen.

3:49 he goes in again, Lively repeats 'talking is more romantic', Baldoni says 'no I know, I just got lost'.

I don't think I can be bothered to do the whole 10 minutes.

All this reports is online squawking from JB fans.

Vespanest · 07/02/2025 14:43

thats not the intimacy co ordinator and another area where the litigation does not equal so will be interesting in court and discovery. The talking in the scene was initiated by Blake the direction of the scene was on the interaction. Similar to the sex scene involved in love actually where the porn stars are having sex but chatting about anything other than the fact they are having sex and it doesn't matter because that is not what the scene is about. But if lines in the sand about guilt have already been made then nothing said on here is going to change your mind whoever's side your on.

AngryBird6122 · 07/02/2025 14:45

@Mirabai the article is showing inconsistencies and things taken out of context though e.g. I have yet to get answer about things like this as BL fans are just blinded and the 'plantation princess' can't seem to do any wrong

What caught Miss Schachter’s bias, in particular, was their inability to acknowledge Baldoni’s remark, “It smells good,” referring to Lively’s spray tan and not her personally. The former suggested the remark could feel inappropriate given what she described as “mounting discomfort and line crossings.”

I suspect there are numerous conflicts when a director also takes on an acting role
in the movie he's directing, especially when it's the male
romantic lead in the movie.

AngryBird6122 · 07/02/2025 14:47

@noblegiraffe ill have a look at those moments you have pointed out to see the abuse

I would say though they were silent where she says I think we should be talking. Not kissing and her saying actuallu we should talk instead of kissing

Technically that's not true, if a person continues to work and adhere to the contract then the contract can still be viewed as if it was signed and protection that a contract gives is still covered. In Blake lawsuit she even refers to parts of her contract that she believes were not adhered to implicating that although not signed she accepts is valid. The problem was that the threats of non promoting would have resulted in litigation which at that point would be the last thing Sony would have wanted and would have tanked the film and investment.

She definitely means talk instead of kissing, she said kissing is giving the audience what they want, talking and dancing is more romantic.

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.

I will forever find these thread posts funny because it’s a simple example of bias.

I’m enjoying the downfall of BL, the Weinstein sympathiser.
