Blake Lively sues Justin Baldoni for harassment and defamation. While the accusations shake Hollywood, Emily Baldoni, the actor's wife, has for the moment preferred to remain silent. Find out who she is.
In recent days, Hollywood has been shaken by a scandal involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, co-stars of the film Jamais plus (It Ends With Us)adapted from the best-selling book by Colleen Hoover. The tensions, initially perceived as artistic disagreements, took a legal turn. According to information from TMZ, Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment and defamation lawsuit, accusing Justin Baldoni of orchestrating a campaign to tarnish her reputation and causing a “severe emotional distress” during and after filming.
According to court documents, Ryan Reynolds' wife claims that Justin Baldoni allegedly behaved inappropriately on set, including inappropriate discussions of a sexual nature and comments about her weightwhich would have particularly affected her after the birth of her fourth child. SMS exchanges between the 40-year-old actor and his crisis management team reveal, according to her, attempts to manipulate public opinion by describing her as a difficult colleague. For his part, Justin Baldoni categorically denies the accusations and claims that Blake Lively is trying to save her own reputation after tensions over the promotion of the film. The two camps are passing the blame, which threatens not only their collaboration, but also the planned sequel of the film Jamais plus (It Starts With Us).
