Blake Lively has filed a legal complaint against 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a campaign to "destroy" her reputation.
According to the legal filing, she accuses Baldoni and his team of attacking her public image following a meeting in which she brought along her actor husband, Ryan Reynolds, to address "repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior" by Baldoni and a producer on the movie.
Baldoni's legal team said the allegations are "categorically false" and said they hired a crisis manager because Lively had threatened to derail the film, unless her demands were met.
In the romantic drama, Lively plays a woman who finds herself in a relationship with a charming but abusive boyfriend, played by Baldoni.
According to the legal filing, the meeting between Lively and Baldoni, together with others involved in the movie's production, took place on January 4 this year, and it aimed to address "the hostile work environment" on set.
