Blake Lively's reason for bringing Ryan Reynolds to her supposed sexual harassment meeting with Justin Baldoni has been disclosed, in her bombshell new lawsuit. She first sued on December 20, accusing Baldoni of sexually harassing her and fostering a toxic work environment on the set of their film It Ends With Us, in which he both directed her and acted with her. He has staunchly denied the allegations.

Lively then launched more formal complaint on New Year's Eve, doubling down on her claims from the previous legal action. In the first filing, Lively alleged a meeting was held last January 4 'to address the hostile work environment that had nearly derailed production of the Film.'.

The 'all hands' meeting is said to have included both Baldoni and Jamey Heath, the CEO of Baldoni's production company Wayfarer Studios and a producer on It Ends With Us. Lively accused both men of engaging in 'inappropriate conduct' on set. According to her lawsuits, Lively brought Reynolds to the supposed meeting - and in this week's new filing, she shed light on why.
