Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, who also served as the film’s director. The blockbuster film, which is based on the Colleen Hoover book of the same name, was released in August and was quickly surrounded with controversy with A-list actress Lively, 36, at the centre of it.

At the time, there were claims she and Baldoni, 40, were embroiled in a bitter feud, but the reason why was never clear. While Baldoni has tiptoed around the rumours, claiming in a ‘movie like this’ there is ‘always friction’, Lively largely stayed silent on the matter and chose not to address insider claims that Baldoni made her feel ‘uncomfortable’ about her postpartum body.

Now, it seems she has made her feelings very clear, with TMZ reporting that she has filed a lawsuit against the star, claiming he coordinated an effort to destroy her reputation. According to the news outlet, the lawsuit further claims that during filming, the atmosphere on set became so uncomfortable that an all-staff meeting was called to try and work through the problems creating what Lively claimed was a hostile set.
The actress’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, who co-wrote some scenes, was in attendance at the meeting, the lawsuit claims. In the meeting, the filing claims the resolution was that Baldoni obliges by alleged cast and crew demands that he stop showing Lively nude videos and images of women and no longer talk about sexual interactions in front of the actress, no discussion of her weight, her deceased father, and no discussion of the cast and crew’s genitalia.
