Blake Lively hits back at Justin Baldoni in new war over leaked It Ends With Us footage
Share:
BLAKE Lively has broken her silence on the unedited footage Justin Baldoni released from It Ends With Us. Blake filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star before Christmas after a bitter feud began on set, with her accusing him of sexual harassment.
The 37-year-old star, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, has said that the newly-shared footage proves that she was uncomfortable around Justin, 40, as they danced during the closing scene of the flick. Justin's team released 10 minutes of raw unedited footage, which his team believes completely refutes Blake's sexual harassment claim, as per TMZ.

But despite the footage being released and Justin's team believing it refutes her claims, Blake's team has spoken out saying the video is "damning". Reacting to the footage, Blake's legal team said: "Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning.".
Her team went on to tell MailOnline that the video shows Justin "repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively". They added that while leaning in, he kept "attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck". They also claim that Justin was "flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character".

They added that every frame "corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint". Blake's team went on to claim how "every moment" of the footage was improvised by Justin "with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present".
