Baldoni’s $400M Lawsuit: Allegations Rock Lively and Reynolds
Allegations of a Smear Campaign
Baldoni’s lawsuit stems from allegations made by Lively during the production of the film It Ends With Us. In 2024, Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, claims he vehemently denies. According to the lawsuit, Baldoni alleges that Lively manipulated media narratives and used her public platform to spread false information about him. He further accuses Reynolds of “aggressive and hostile” behavior during a meeting where creative tensions were addressed.
The lawsuit claims that Lively’s allegations have caused irreparable harm to Baldoni’s career and reputation, describing the situation as a “hysterical media circus” orchestrated to destroy him.
Did Blake Lively Even Read the Book?
One of the most shocking revelations in Baldoni’s filing is the assertion that Blake Lively had not read Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel It Ends With Us before signing onto the film. Baldoni claims this lack of familiarity led to misguided creative decisions that impacted the production. “Her lack of preparation was deeply concerning to everyone involved,” the filing alleges.
Ryan Reynolds Dragged into the Controversy
The lawsuit also implicates Ryan Reynolds, accusing him of berating Baldoni during a meeting and accusing the director of “fat-shaming” Lively. Baldoni’s team has dismissed these claims as baseless and part of a broader effort to defame him.
“Reynolds’ involvement escalated tensions on set,” Baldoni’s lawyer stated. “This lawsuit aims to set the record straight and hold everyone accountable for their actions.”
The Legal Battle Heats Up
Baldoni’s lawsuit is the latest chapter in a series of legal battles surrounding It Ends With Us. The controversy has already led to defamation claims against major publications that reported on Lively’s allegations. Baldoni’s legal team has vowed to fight back aggressively, with the director seeking not only financial damages but also a public acknowledgment of the harm caused to his reputation.
Meanwhile, Lively and Reynolds have not publicly commented on the lawsuit, but sources close to the couple describe the accusations as “outlandish” and “a desperate attempt to salvage Baldoni’s career.”
