Blake Lively Adds Claims From 2 Other Women to Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

The actress Blake Lively filed an amended complaint on Tuesday in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, claiming that her co-star in the film “It Ends With Us” made two other actresses on the set “uncomfortable,” and that they were prepared to testify about their experiences.

The two women were not named in the complaint, which expands on a lawsuit filed by Ms. Lively in December where she accused Mr. Baldoni, who also directed the 2024 film, of sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign. The complaint has also been updated to include a new defamation claim against Mr. Baldoni and his associates.

Mr. Baldoni, who is also a founder of the studio that produced the film, Wayfarer, has denied the claims of misconduct. He said in a countersuit filed in January that he was the victim of an effort to harm his reputation and wrest creative control of the film by Ms. Lively and her husband, the actor Ryan Reynolds.

In May 2023, Ms. Lively reported her concerns about inappropriate behavior by Mr. Baldoni and Jamey Heath, the film’s lead producer, to a representative for Sony Pictures Entertainment, the film’s distributor, according to the amended complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Over the next three days, another actress on the set reported her concerns about Mr. Baldoni to a Sony Pictures Entertainment representative and one of the film’s producers, the complaint said.

“Notwithstanding that female cast member’s considerable reservations with coming forward, she nonetheless spoke up and conveyed her feelings that the work on the film was suffering as a result of Mr. Baldoni’s behavior,” the complaint said.
