Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Legal Battle Gains Spotlight with New Documentary

The ongoing legal dispute between the 'It Ends With Us' co-stars, involving allegations of harassment, defamation, and media influence, is now the subject of a documentary airing internationally.

  • Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment during the filming of 'It Ends With Us,' leading to her December 2024 lawsuit.
  • Justin Baldoni denies the claims and has countersued for $400 million, alleging defamation, and filed a separate $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times for publishing Lively's complaint.
  • Ryan Reynolds, named in Baldoni’s countersuit, has filed a motion to dismiss, arguing his statements about Baldoni are protected under the First Amendment.
  • A modified protective order was granted to Lively, restricting access to sensitive case materials to attorneys only, as both parties prepare for the March 2026 trial.
  • The documentary 'He Said, She Said' examines the legal dispute, its social media impact, and broader cultural themes, with a shorter version set to stream in the U.S. later this month.
