The Origins of the Conflict: A Film Set Turned Battleground

The legal feud between Blake Lively, 37, and Justin Baldoni, 41, began in December 2024, when Lively filed a federal lawsuit in New York against Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios, and others involved in the making of It Ends with Us. The film, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, was a commercial success but became a lightning rod for controversy behind the scenes. Lively, who starred as Lily Bloom and also served as a producer, alleged that Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath engaged in “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” on set. According to her lawsuit, the behavior included inappropriate discussions about their personal sexual experiences and attempts to pressure Lively into sharing details about her own intimate life.
