Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Locked in Escalating Legal Battle Over Harassment Allegations

The 'It Ends With Us' stars have filed lawsuits against each other, with co-star Brandon Sklenar opting to remain neutral in the ongoing controversy.

Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation, which he denies, countersuing her for defamation and extortion.
Baldoni also filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times, alleging manipulation of text messages to tarnish his reputation.
Brandon Sklenar, their co-star in 'It Ends With Us,' has avoided publicly taking sides, emphasizing the film's message of love and support instead.
Lively's legal team claims two female co-stars are prepared to testify in her favor, while Baldoni's lawyer disputes the credibility of their claims.
Baldoni's feminist reputation has come under scrutiny, leading to the revocation of a recent award recognizing his advocacy for women.
