FROM conversations about sex and porn addiction to fat shaming, Blake Lively’s claims during filming It Ends With Us have lifted the lid on the dark side of Hollywood. The actress is suing her co-star and the movie’s director — Justin Baldoni — for sexual harassment.

She claims she was the victim of an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation after complaining about “toxic” behaviour on set. The film is based on Colleen Hoover’s novel about Lily and her abusive boyfriend Ryle, played by Blake and Justin.

It got publicity for all the wrong reasons on its release in August. Blake, 37, was branded a diva and mocked for promoting her haircare line during interviews while avoiding talking about domestic violence. She was called “tone deaf” and then trolled after resurfaced social media posts showed her being “rude” to reporters.

But the release this week of a shocking list of 30 demands she made to Justin and others before she would agree to return to filming has shed light on what was allegedly going on behind the scenes. The talent agency that represents both actors has cut ties with Justin, 40, since the legal complaint was filed against him on Saturday.

It shows WME bosses are choosing to stand with Blake. Legal documents reveal there was a meeting attended by Blake, her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, Justin, bosses of Wayfarer Studios and lawyers, to address her complaints on set. Among her demands were that Justin’s previous “pornography addiction” and her lack of porn “consumption” should no longer be up for discussion.
