Blake Lively sues It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment as stunning claims are revealed
Blake Lively is suing her former ‘It Ends With Us’ co-star and director Justin Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment.
The Gossip Girl star claims Baldoni fostered a toxic workplace environment, which included the director showing her nude videos and images of other women and discussing his alleged previous porn addiction, TMZ reports.
The duo appeared together in the hotly-anticipated adaptation of the popular Coleen Hoover novel by the same name earlier this year.
However, its release was mired by a series of scandals after fans picked up on tensions between Lively, 36, and Baldoni, 40.
In her lawsuit, the actress accuses Baldoni of a smear campaign to ‘destroy’ her reputation amid the fallout.

Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman hit back at the lawsuit as, ‘false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt’.
He insisted the legal action is an attempt by Lively to ‘fix her negative reputation’ after rumors emerged of diva-like behavior on set.
This included, ‘threatening to not showing up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release,’ according to Freedman.
