Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Legal Battle Intensifies Over 'It Ends With Us'

The ongoing lawsuits include allegations of sexual harassment, defamation, and claims involving Taylor Swift's alleged involvement in the film's production.

Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment during the production of 'It Ends With Us,' while Baldoni denies the claims and has countersued for defamation.
Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit also names Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane, alleging a coordinated smear campaign against him.
Taylor Swift, a close friend of Lively, has been indirectly implicated in the legal dispute, though sources emphasize she had no creative involvement in the film or the lawsuits.
Lively's publicist has filed a motion to dismiss the claims against her, arguing that statements attributed to her were either opinions or substantially true.
The legal conflict has reportedly strained relationships between Lively, Baldoni, and others involved, with a trial date set for March 2026.
