Blake Lively 'uncomfortable' in Justin Baldoni clip, claims body language expert

A body language expert has analysed the behind-the-scenes footage from the film 'It Ends With Us', which was released by director Justin Baldoni’s legal team following sexual harassment allegations made by his co-star Blake Lively. Lively starred as Lily Bloom in Colleen Hoover's adaptation, while Baldoni directed the romantic movie and played the role of her abusive partner, Ryle Kincaid. Just four months after the film's release, Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and claimed he acted inappropriately during the filming of 'It Ends With Us'.
A 10-minute behind-the-scenes video was then released, showing the pair filming a slow dance scene for the movie and engaging in small talk, but Lively claims it shows her looking "uncomfortable". Her lawyer told TMZ: "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. Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her complaint.".
Lively's team also alleges the footage "shows Baldoni repeatedly leaning in towards Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.".
On the other hand, Baldoni accused Lively of suggesting he get cosmetic surgery to fix his nose while they filmed a "romance montage." He has since filed a lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation and extortion related to the film 'It Ends With Us'. The lawsuit claims that Lively and her team spread false information to damage Baldoni's reputation and take control of the film.
