Blake Lively worked with Justin Baldoni on It Ends with Us (2024). He directed and costarred in the romantic drama. Several months after the film was released, she accused him of sexual harassment. Lively said he had made inappropriate comments, entered her trailer while she was partially undressed, and failed to respect her physical boundaries, among other allegations. She sued him in December 2024, and he filed his own lawsuit against Lively in January 2025. A judge dismissed Baldoni’s lawsuit in June. (See our timeline of the legal battle.)
