00:00The Worst Things Justin Baldoni Did to Blake Lively

00:03Adding Scenes According to Blake Lively's lawsuit,

00:06concerns about Justin Baldoni's creative decisions arose even before filming for It Ends With Us

00:11began. Blake strongly opposed his proposed addition of scenes, describing them as unnecessary.

00:17The legal documents included a specific request to halt further attempts to add elements to the film.

00:23This included a stipulation that no new scenes, depictions of certain acts, or on-camera

00:28completions involving Blake would be introduced beyond what had been approved when she initially

00:33signed on to the project. Blake also alleged that Justin initiated unwanted physical contact

00:39during their scenes. This included discussions of his own life and instances where consent

00:43may not have been respected. The lawsuit describes how Justin introduced physical

00:47aspects that had not been rehearsed, choreographed, or discussed with her in advance.

00:52For example, during one scene, Justin reportedly bit and sucked on Blake's lower lip and improvised

00:58multiple smooches during each take. And that just gives me shivers all over thinking about it.

01:03Furthermore, he allegedly insisted on repeating the scene far more times than what would be

01:08typically required on a professional set, doing so without prior notice or her consent.

01:13Another incident involved Justin pressuring Blake to remove portions of her costume for a

01:18childbirth scene. He allegedly told her it was unrealistic for her character to remain

01:22that dressed up during labor, citing personal anecdotes about his wife doing the same during

01:27childbirth. Although Blake disagreed, she claims she ultimately felt forced to compromise by

01:32appearing that way for the scene. This dude needs serious help and probably a cell somewhere.

01:37His Habits and Other Behavior

01:39Blake Lively's lawsuit also highlights instances of Justin's remarks and behaviors on set.

01:44A meeting was reportedly held in January 2024 to address her mounting concerns about the production.

01:50Her husband, Ryan Reynolds, attended alongside her to ensure her demands were addressed.

01:54Among the conditions discussed were requests to stop showing Blake

01:58weird videos or weird images of women to avoid mentioning Justin's alleged habits,

02:04and to cease conversations about conquests in front of Blake and the casting crew.

02:08Additional boundaries included avoiding comments about Blake's size and refraining from bringing

02:13up personal topics such as her father. Blake claims that the film's producer,

02:17Jamie Heath, also engaged in weirdo conduct. According to her, Heath once entered her

02:22trailer and watched her while her body makeup was being removed, despite her clear request

02:27for privacy. Both Justin and Heath allegedly entered her makeup trailer at other times

02:32while she was feeding her baby or not ready to be looked at, further adding to her woes.

02:37In response to Blake's complaints, the production company Wayfarer

02:40agreed to implement new safety measures. They issued a statement affirming their commitment

02:44to maintaining a secure work environment, even while noting differences in their perspectives

02:48during the incidents. Blake later acknowledged that the implementation of these changes had led

02:53to some improvement in on-set behavior by the spring. Breaking Character During Filming

02:57Another claim in the lawsuit involves an incident during a rooftop dance scene.

03:02While filming, Justin allegedly broke character to engage in behavior that Blake found strange.

03:06According to the lawsuit, he leaned forward and dragged his lips from her ear to her neck,

03:11commenting on how she smelled. This interaction was reportedly unscripted and had no connection

03:16to the scene or dialogue being filmed. The legal documents describe it as a personal gesture,

03:21rather than an in-character action. When Blake objected to this behavior later,

03:25Justin reportedly dismissed her concerns, claiming he wasn't even attracted to her.

03:29Yeah, that'll do it, man. The Remarks He Made When She Was Postpartum

03:33Blake Lively also accuses Justin of making remarks about her size shortly after she had

03:38given birth to her fourth child. The lawsuit states that just weeks before filming, Justin

03:43contacted Blake's personal trainer without her knowledge. During this conversation,

03:47he allegedly implied that Blake needed to move a few sizes down the chart within two weeks,

03:52using a scene where he would need to lift her as justification. However, there was no such scene

03:57ever planned for the film. The situation worsened when Blake later contracted strep throat.

04:03According to her lawsuit, Justin suggested a health expert to help her recover,

04:06presenting it as a kind gesture. However, when Blake reviewed the privacy forms,

04:11she discovered that the expert was actually a size-loss specialist, leading her to believe

04:16the suggestion was motivated by his ongoing focus on her appearance.

04:20Social Media Campaign to Ruin Her Reputation Blake's lawsuit also accuses Justin of

04:25orchestrating a deliberate campaign to harm her reputation through social media manipulation.

04:30The documents include thousands of text messages and emails obtained via subpoena,

04:34which allegedly reveal Justin's team collaborating with a management expert.

04:38One particularly alarming message involves a publicist discussing strategies to

04:43bury Blake's public image. Another aspect of this campaign allegedly involved astroturfing,

04:48a tactic where fake opinions are posted online to appear as though they came from real users.

04:53Justin also reportedly referred to online posts targeting other celebrities as inspiration for

04:58his campaign. In one instance, he referenced a thread accusing Hailey Bieber of being mean,

05:03describing it as the kind of narrative he wanted to achieve. Additionally, his team

05:07allegedly discussed using feminism as a tool, citing Taylor Swift as an example in their

05:11strategy. Amid this fallout, Justin is said to have altered his social media approach after the

05:16firm's premiere, shifting focus towards survivor advocacy and other themes relating to the movie

05:21content to rehabilitate his image. His team reportedly advised against such an abrupt

05:26change in strategy, but Justin insisted on continuing with the new narrative.

05:30Claiming Contact With Blake's Late Father This one is wild. Blake Lively alleges that

05:35Justin Baldoni engaged in behavior she couldn't even believe, including claims that he could

05:41communicate with her late father. Justin allegedly told her on multiple occasions that he had spoken

05:47with her father, Ernie Blake, who passed away in June 2021. According to the complaint, Blake found

05:52these statements deeply invasive, particularly given the personal nature of the loss.

05:57Excessive Physical Contact On Set The lawsuit states that both Justin

06:01and producer Jamie Heath frequently hugged or touched cast or crew members. Blake claims that

06:07when she or others avoided these interactions, the two men would respond with irritation or

06:12hostility. The result was described as an unpredictable and unwelcoming environment

06:16that made collaboration difficult for Blake and her team.

06:19Comments On Women's Appearance Blake alleges that Justin regularly referred

06:24to women in the workplace by certain adjectives, brushing off their discomfort with dismissive

06:28remarks. In one instance, he complimented a female cast member's leather pants as looking

06:33beyond nice. And when she objected, he excused the behavior by saying, I can say that because

06:38my wife is here. Is Justin Sane? Blake herself experienced similar comments. While wearing a

06:44low-cut dress under a coat for easily being able to feed her child, Justin allegedly pressured her

06:50to remove the coat on set, saying he wanted to see her outfit. According to Blake, when she refused,

06:55Justin described her appearance as good looking and later sarcastically remarked,

06:59I guess I missed the HR meeting. Other female cast members reportedly shared similar experiences of

07:04unwanted remarks from Justin. Another Complaint

07:07The lawsuit cites additional complaints against Justin from other cast members. On May 29,

07:122023, one actress reportedly filed a formal complaint about Justin's gross and unwanted

07:18comments. Earlier in the production, another actress raised concerns about his remarks on

07:22her appearance. While Justin initially acknowledged her concerns, Blake claims that

07:26the actress later confided in her, saying that she could no longer engage with him outside of scenes.

07:31Impact on Blake's Family

07:33Blake's legal documents describe the toll Justin's alleged behavior has taken on her,

07:37her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their children. Blake reportedly had plenty of feelings that

07:42affected her ability to function in her personal and professional life. Her family,

07:46including her children, allegedly experienced significant upheaval due to the surrounding

07:50situation. Professional and Financial Damages

07:53Blake claims that the whole thing led to substantial professional setbacks.

07:58She withdrew from hosting the highly anticipated Saturday Night Live season 50 premiere and

08:03canceled key events, including a corporate engagement for her hair care line, Blake Brown

08:07Beauty. The lawsuit also alleges significant financial losses for her businesses. Initially,

08:12Blake Brown was reportedly Target's most successful hair care launch, but the social

08:16manipulation campaign allegedly caused sales to plummet by 56% to 78%. Additionally, Blake's other

08:23brands, Betty Buzz and Betty Booz, faced online trolling, forcing them to pause social media

08:28activity, which negatively impacted their business operations, as you can imagine.

08:32What do you guys think about all of this? I think Justin is literally irredeemable now.

08:37This is all just so wild, guys. Let me know your thoughts in the comments,

08:41and I hope you have a great day. Peace out.
