Justin Baldoni reportedly 'cried' over Blake Lively's appearance early into production on It Ends With Us, the actress alleged in her sexual harassment complaint against the film's director and costar. In papers obtained by The New York Times, Lively, 37, accused the former Jane The Virgin star, 40, of entering her trailer while she was nude, and letting his 'friends' watch her film sex scenes, along with other activities, creating a 'hostile work environment.'.

Lively — who is married to actor Ryan Reynolds — had given birth to her fourth child a few months before filming began in May 2023, and she alleged that Baldoni treated her as a 'sex object' while being overly concerned with her weight. 'On the second day of filming, for example, Mr. Baldoni made the rest of the cast and crew wait for hours while he cried in Ms. Lively's dressing room, claiming social media commentators were saying that Ms. Lively looked old and unattractive based on paparazzi photos from the set,' the filing alleges.

Lively claimed she tried to reassure the director 'that she should look authentic in the scenes depicted in the photos, which were just after her character had been abused by her fictional husband, rather than "hot."'. The leading lady claimed Baldoni continually focused on her physical appearance and 'routinely degraded' her by finding 'back channel ways of criticizing her body and weight.'.
