Actor Justin Baldoni has filed a countersuit against Blake Lively, alleging she attempted to control the marketing and premiere of their film 'It Ends with Us' and undermined his role as director and executive producer.
Justin Baldoni made counter accusations against Blake Lively , who filed a legal complaint and a lawsuit in December, 2024. The actor claimed his co-star tried to “undermine” his role as director and executive producer of 'It Ends with Us.' He claimed she “systematically sidelined from the marketing of his own film” and “reluctantly” agreed to let him attend the film’s premiere. Further undermining Baldoni’s role, Lively initially refused to permit his attendance at the Film’s premiere.
Only after significant pressure did she reluctantly agree to allow Baldoni and the Wayfarer team to attend, but under humiliating conditions. The Wayfarer team and their families, including Baldoni and Heath, were segregated from the main cast, barred from the exclusive after-party, and forced to organize their own event at additional cost. Baldoni and Lively were never seen together in photographs during marketing events, and they also watched the film in separate movie theatres on August 6. In addition to controlling his red carpet participation, the actor also claimed Lively had “stolen” the film from them. Baldoni’s participation on the red carpet was cut short, and his family and friends were confined to a makeshift holding area in the basement before being escorted into a separate theater after Lively’s departure. Not only had Lively stolen the Film, but she also robbed Baldoni and his team of any genuine opportunity to celebrate their hard work.The lawsuit also included mentions of Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, who allegedly tried to “exile” Baldoni from the project and “berated” him during a meeting at the couple’s New York penthouse
