In December 2024, Blake Lively lodged a complaint against Justin Baldoni accusing her It Ends With Us co-star and director of sexual harassment and retaliation. She claimed that he exhibited disturbing and unprofessional behaviour during the filming of the movie. In retaliation, Baldoni has filed a $250-million libel lawsuit against The New York Times as well as a $400-million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
