Blake Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni claims he admitted to not “always” asking for consent before engaging in sex with past partners.

The lawsuit, which was obtained by Us Weekly on Saturday, December 21, alleges that both Baldoni, who also directed the film, and producer Jamey Heath had “discussed their personal sexual experiences and previous porn addiction” with her “and tried to pressure [Lively] to reveal details about her intimate life.”

The documents describe a “car ride with [Lively], her assistant and driver” during production wherein Baldoni allegedly claimed to Lively “that he had been sexually abused by a former girlfriend” which “caused him to reexamine his past.” (Baldoni, 40, spoke about experiencing sexual trauma in a previous relationship on an episode of Elizabeth Day’s “How to Fail” podcast earlier this month.)

According to the documents, Baldoni then claimed, “Did I always ask for consent? No. Did I always listen when they said no? No,” adding, “This was an example of how we all have things from which we can learn and grow.”

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

Lively claimed that when Baldoni “exited the car, [her] driver immediately remarked that he did not want Ms. Lively to be alone with Mr. Baldoni going forward.”

Lively filed her sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni on Friday, December 20, alleging that he had created a “hostile work environment” on the set of It Ends With Us, causing the actress “severe emotional distress.” She also accused Baldoni and his team of orchestrating a smear campaign against her to damage her reputation.

The legal filing states that a meeting was held during production in January to address Lively’s claims against Baldoni. Her demands for the meeting included “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”

Court documents also claim that unwanted kissing had been improvised by Baldoni in scenes between his and Lively’s respective characters.

Blake Lively's Infamous 'It Ends With Us' Costumes Play a Part in Lawsuit

“Mr. Baldoni improvised physical intimacy that had not been rehearsed, choreographed, or discussed with Ms. Lively, with no intimacy coordinator involved,” the docs state. “For instance, Mr. Baldoni discreetly bit and sucked on Ms. Lively’s lower lip during a scene in which he improvised numerous kisses on each take. Mr. Baldoni insisted on shooting the full scene over and over again, well beyond what would have been required on an ordinary set, and without advance notice or consent.”

The suit also claims that Lively was not the only cast member to complain about Baldoni’s behavior, noting the “concerns she raised were not only for herself, but for the other female cast and crew, some of whom had also spoken up.”

The lawsuit reads: “As result of Mr. Baldoni’s behavior, on May 29, 2023, another cast member lodged a sexual harassment complaint about Mr. Baldoni’s ‘gross’ and ‘unwanted comment[s]’ towards her and others.” In the docs, Lively alleged that “another actress made a complaint about Mr. Baldoni’s comments on her appearance.”

“Mr. Baldoni expressly acknowledged her concerns in writing, stating he would ‘adjust accordingly,’” the docs continue. “Yet on June 8, 2023, that actress informed Ms. Lively that ‘outside of anything in a scene, I actually cannot talk to Justin at all.’ Mr. Baldoni later expressed suspicion regarding Ms. Lively’s friendship with this actress, as if they were colluding against him.”

Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni Texted About Ruining Her Reputation

In a statement to Us, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman addressed Lively’s “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” allegations, claiming she filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production.

Lively, for her part, has received support from several people involved with the movie since her complaint was filed, including It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover, who voiced her support for the actress in a lengthy statement on social media, praising Lively for her “ability to refuse to sit down and ‘be buried.’” (Lively starred in the film adaptation of Hoover’s book as Lily Bloom opposite Baldoni’s Ryle, Lily’s abusive husband.)

“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” she said in a statement to The New York Times on Saturday. The actress also denied spreading negative information about Baldoni.

Clinique High Impact Lash Line-Up 3-Piece Makeup Gift Set is a must-have trio that works together to give you your best lashes yet — and right now, it’s 30% off at Nordstrom.

Shoppers praise the trio’s lengthening and volumizing effects, specifically shouting out the primer.

“Eyelashes on steroids,” one Nordstrom reviewer wrote. “This has been a staple item in my makeup collection for the last 2 years. It adds volume but more so is the length, wow! Don’t be heavy-handed with the product; you only need a light swipe just to coat the lashes. If you get too much, it will turn into a clumpy mess, at least for me. It will look like you are applying white mascara but don’t worry. As soon as you apply your mascara over the top, it disappears, and you are left with long, voluminous lashes.”

“This mascara is AMAZING,” another person said. “I just recently stopped wearing lash extensions after 8 years to give my lashes a break. I tried a couple of waterproof and volume mascaras until I landed on this one. My lashes look great! I may never go back to extensions. I have very deep hooded eyes and struggle with finding mascara that won’t rub off during the day. Not only does it stay put, but it adds length and volume without clumping.”

“It’s the best for big lashes,” one shopper advised. “Been using this for about two years now. I absolutely love this; I always get compliments on my lashes, and people always ask me what mascara I use. I always tell them about this primer.”

So, what are you waiting for? Head to Nordstrom now to snag the three-piece set while it’s 30% off!

Blake Lively’s A Simple Favor 2 costar Michele Morrone said she seemed in “pain” after her experience on the set of It Ends With Us.

The Italian actor and model, 34, shared a video via his Instagram Stories on Monday, December 23, expressing his support for Lively, 37, amid her sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni.

“It’s usually not my thing to make those kinds of videos, but I think it’s time to stand up for a person I really love and this person is Blake Lively,” Morrone said.

The 365 Days star continued, “I personally met Blake during A Simple Favor 2. We shot this incredible film together and I felt something was wrong, and I felt the pain … We had the opportunity to talk, me and her, [and] Blake was in pain.” (A Simple Favor 2 was filmed this past spring, per Deadline, while It Ends With Us began filming in May 2023 and resumed in January following the SAG-AFTRA strike.)

Everything Justin Baldoni Has Said About Working With Blake Lively

Morrone said he was “really tired” of seeing “cruel and bad comments” about Lively “without knowing the situation.” He linked to a New York Times article published Saturday, December 21, detailing Lively’s catalog of complaints against Baldoni, 40, on the set of It Ends With Us, which he asked fans to read “to make you understand, before commenting, what happened.”

“Blake, I love you so much. Keep it up and we’re going to see each other very soon. Love you,” the actor concluded.

Lively, 37, filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Complaints Department on Friday, December 20, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of their recent Colleen Hoover adaptation. She also claimed Baldoni was behind a digital smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.

The lawsuit, obtained by Us Weekly after it first reported by TMZ and The New York Times, stated that a meeting was held during the film’s production in January to address Lively’s claims against her costar that included, “No more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”

Baldoni has vehemently denied the allegations against him. In a statement to Us, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman called Lively’s claims “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious,” alleging she filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production. He claimed Lively made “multiple demands and threats,” which included “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

Lively reprises her role in A Simple Favor 2, a sequel to her hit 2018 crime thriller costarring Anna Kendrick, which is due for release next year.

Celebs Who Have Spoken Out About Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

On Sunday, December 22, the film’s director, Paul Feig, also expressed his support for Lively.

“I’ve now made two movies with Blake and all I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” Feig shared via X.

Feig added, “She truly did not deserve any of this smear campaign against her. I think it’s awful she was put through this.”

Lively has also received support from Hoover, the author of the novel It Ends With Us is based on, and Sony Pictures, the studio that released the film.
