In the court filing, the Hollywood actress alleged that Justin Baldoni attempted to tarnish her image after she called up a meeting in which she brought along her actor husband, Ryan Reynolds, to address “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviour” by her director and a producer on the set of ‘It Ends With Us.’
As per Blake Lively, her team forwarded a list of demands allegedly accepted by the studio.
The demands included, “no more personal, physical touching of, or sexual comments by, Mr. Baldoni or Mr. Heath to be tolerated by [Blake Lively] and/or any of her employees, as well as any female cast or crew without their express consent.”
Meanwhile, Justin Baldoni’s legal team denied the allegations, terming them “categorically false.”
In a statement to BBC, the ‘It Ends With Us’ director’s team said they hired a crisis manager because Blake Lively had threatened to derail the film unless her demands were met.
