Overview

• Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment, emotional distress, and a smear campaign during the production of 'It Ends With Us.'
• Baldoni has countersued Lively and Ryan Reynolds for $400 million, claiming defamation and extortion, and alleges that Lively leveraged her relationship with Taylor Swift to influence the film's production.
• Taylor Swift, who contributed music to the film, is accused of pressuring Baldoni during a meeting with Lively and Reynolds, though sources close to Swift deny any strain in her friendship with Lively.
• Legal documents reveal conflicting accounts, including text messages, voice memos, and raw footage, with both sides claiming these materials support their narratives.
• The trial is set for March 2026, with both parties remaining entrenched in one of Hollywood's most contentious disputes in recent years.
