Intimacy coordinators say Blake Lively’s legal dispute shows need for their role Actor has accused Justin Baldoni, co-star and director of It Ends With Us, of sexual harassment in civil action.
The film footage at the centre of Blake Lively’s high-profile legal row proves that intimacy coordination should be considered as necessary on set as organising stunts, leading consultants have said.
Lively filed a civil complaint against co-star and director Justin Baldoni just before Christmas, accusing him of sexual harassment during the filming of It Ends with Us – a romantic drama released last year.
His legal team retaliated by releasing a video of the pair going through three takes of one scene in which the pair slow dance in a bar, which is alleged by Lively in her lawsuit to be an example of his inappropriate behaviour.
But while his lawyers claim the video exonerates him, Lively’s team said it further proved she felt uncomfortable in scenes that she said had not been choreographed.
