Justin Baldoni’s legal team has released footage from the set of It Ends With Us to counter allegations of sexual harassment made by co-star Blake Lively. The video, which shows a slow-dance sequence between the two, is part of Baldoni’s defense after Lively sued him for inappropriate conduct during filming.
In her lawsuit, Lively accused Baldoni of harassment, particularly during the filming of a romantic scene where he allegedly made an inappropriate comment and caressed her neck. Baldoni’s team released three takes from the sequence, arguing that the footage demonstrates mutual respect and professionalism between the actors.
Lively’s legal team, however, maintains that the video supports her account, highlighting her discomfort as Baldoni leaned in to kiss her and made unwanted physical contact. They further claimed that the footage reveals Baldoni’s actions were not part of the scene’s choreography and that there was no intimacy coordinator present.
This legal battle continues to unfold as both sides prepare for further proceedings. Baldoni has also filed his own suit against Lively, accusing her of failing to follow direction on set.
