Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Legal Battle Escalates With New Lawsuits and Allegations

The feud between the 'It Ends With Us' stars intensifies, with accusations of harassment, defamation, and retaliatory PR campaigns dominating the narrative.

Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign, while Baldoni has countersued for defamation and extortion, seeking $400 million in damages.
The legal dispute includes allegations of Baldoni’s inappropriate on-set behavior and Lively’s alleged attempts to seize creative control of the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel.
Both parties have released extensive legal filings, leaked communications, and behind-the-scenes footage in an effort to sway public opinion and defend their reputations.
The conflict has drawn in high-profile figures, including Ryan Reynolds, Lively’s husband, and multiple PR firms, with lawsuits expanding to include publicists and media organizations.
A federal judge has set a trial date for March 2026, urging both sides to refrain from public statements that could prejudice the proceedings.
