- Blake Lively Allegedly ‘Refused to Permit’ Justin Baldoni’s Attendance at ‘It Ends With Us’ Premiere (newsbreak.com)
Film director Justin Baldoni has filed a lawsuit against Blake Lively, accusing her of trying to remove him from the filmmaking process for their upcoming drama “It Ends With Us.”
According to the lawsuit, Lively allegedly attempted to take over creative control of the film and ban Baldoni from its premiere. Baldoni claims that Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, used bullying tactics to pressure him and exile him from his own project.
The lawsuit also alleges that Lively tried to ostracize Baldoni and his family at the film’s premiere, segregating them from the main cast and barring them from the after-party.
Lively’s attorney denies the allegations, stating that her actions were necessary to protect her rights and the rights of others involved in the film.
