Details about the feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni
The controversy began on December 20, 2024, when Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Department of Civil Rights. The actress accused him of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment during the production of It Ends With Us.
In a statement, Lively’s attorneys said she was subjected to “further retaliation and attacks” after she went public with misconduct allegations against Baldoni and his public relations team in a New York Times report. “Wayfarer and its associates have violated federal and California state law by retaliating against her for reporting sexual harassment and workplace safety concerns,” she added. “Now, the defendants will answer for their conduct in federal court. Ms Lively has brought this litigation in New York, where much of the relevant activity described in the complaint took place, but we reserve the right to pursue further action in other venues and jurisdictions as appropriate under the law.”
In response, director and actor Baldoni sued Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for defamation; however, that case was later dismissed. Most recently, on November 12, Baldoni filed a motion seeking dismissal of Lively’s harassment claims outright. The case is scheduled to go to trial in March 2026.
