Summary
Blake Lively filed a complaint against Justin Baldoni, his studio Wayfarer, and others, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The Complaint was filed with the California Civil Rights Department, which is a necessary step before a lawsuit can be filed in the superior court.
Blake Lively alleges that Baldoni and his associates hired a crisis PR team to embark on a reputationally damaging social media campaign to protect Bladoni’s reputation from allegations of harassment on set during the filming of ‘It Ends With Us.’
Through his legal team, Baldoni gave a statement to the New York Times stating, “[t]hese claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”
Is this about reputation, is it about retaliation, or is there more to come?

| 0:28.7 | which came out in August of 2024 between Blake lively and lots of others. You may have heard |
| 0:35.3 | about this movie. You may have heard about drama surrounding |
| 0:38.6 | the release and premieres of this movie and was the director and lead actor not in photos with |
| 0:44.3 | Blake lively and other cast members and were there two separate press tours and why and |
| 0:48.7 | who was following who on social media. We're going to get into the lawsuit that has a lot to do with all of that. |
