Actress Blake Lively has taken legal action against her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, for allegedly creating a toxic work environment on the set of their film "It Ends With Us. " Lively's lawsuit claims that Baldoni harassed her and tried to damage her reputation. Baldoni and his team have strongly denied these claims, calling them false and an attempt to salvage Lively's reputation. The lawsuit follows months of rumors about tension between the two stars.

The lawsuit details Lively's accusations of harassment, including Baldoni showing nude videos of women, discussing his past "pornography addiction, " and making inappropriate comments about cast members' bodies. Lively also alleges that Baldoni tried to change the script to include more sex scenes without her consent. The lawsuit states that the studio agreed to Lively's demands to stop the harassment but still faced marketing conflicts. Lively wanted a positive promotional campaign, while Baldoni favored a serious tone due to the film's domestic violence theme.

Texts between Baldoni's publicist and the studio's publicist seem to show a plot to "bury" Lively's reputation. However, Baldoni's lawyer has refuted these claims, saying they are false and part of Lively's attempt to fix her negative reputation. The lawyer also mentions that Lively's demands during production led to a crisis management team being hired.

The ongoing dispute could affect plans for a sequel to the film. While a sequel is usually expected, the rift between Lively and Baldoni might complicate things. Baldoni's studio has the rights to the sequel, which means they would have to work together in some capacity, even if Baldoni doesn't direct and the role is recast.
