It comes as the actress claimed in documents obtained by TMZ that Justin created a toxic work environment, showed her nude images and videos of women, and talked to her about his alleged previous porn addiction. Baldoni's legal team have since denied the allegations - and claimed the lawsuit was an attempt to salvage her reputation which suffered during press for their movie It Ends With Us.

The two stars both took on leading roles on the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel, but rumors of a rift between the pair ignited when they were not pictured on the red carpet and also didn't do any interviews together. The height of the drama took place in August shortly before the film was released in theaters.

He was also unfollowed by the actress on social media, as well as other cast members and Hoover. Lively was also wary of Baldoni even prior to filming according to her legal complaint and claims they clashed over him trying to add 'gratuitous' nudity and sex scenes to the movie.
