In a shocking twist that is sending ripples through Hollywood, the ongoing legal feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over their film It Ends with Us has gone from bad to worse, revealing shocking details, explosive accusations, and a deep dive into Hollywood’s darker side. What initially seemed like a professional working relationship between the two stars has now spiraled into a full-blown legal battle, with allegations of sexual harassment, defamation, and celebrity manipulation taking center stage.

What began as a promising collaboration in adapting the bestselling novel into a film has now been overshadowed by legal claims, public disputes, and some jaw-dropping text messages. From the allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni to the accusations that Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, hijacked the narrative of the production, this saga is far from over.

The Explosive Legal Drama Begins

Justin Baldoni, who both directed and starred in It Ends with Us, recently launched a website in support of his defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The website includes an amended $400 million lawsuit, alongside a timeline of events and a slew of communications that shed light on the disturbing turn their professional relationship took. Included in the leaked materials were emails and text messages exchanged between Baldoni, Lively, producers, and intimacy coordinators, all of which allegedly dispute Lively’s claims of sexual harassment during the filming process.

Baldoni’s legal team contends that Lively and Reynolds manipulated the situation and used their celebrity power to tarnish his reputation. According to their legal documents, Lively and Reynolds hijacked the narrative of the film’s production, stealing control from Baldoni and the studio, leading to massive public damage to Baldoni’s career.

From Friendly to Feud: The Breakdown of Their Relationship

Initially, Blake and Justin seemed to share a friendly dynamic. Their communications were reportedly full of jokes, support, and shared personal stories, which made their professional chemistry seem real. But things took a drastic turn as production on the film progressed. Baldoni’s legal documents claim that, while their relationship started off amicably, tensions began to mount as the film’s production got underway.

One of the key moments that caught the attention of the public and the courts was a casual joke by Lively about breast pumping during a scene in the film. What seemed like a lighthearted moment on set now serves as evidence of a strange dynamic between the two. This casual exchange stands in stark contrast to the serious allegations of sexual harassment made by Lively, creating confusion among fans and legal experts alike.

Baldoni’s team is also adamant that Lively was the one who resisted working with the film’s intimacy coordinator, forcing Baldoni to handle sensitive meetings alone. The legal documents assert that Baldoni remained professional throughout the filming process, despite the challenges that arose behind the scenes.

A Fight for Control: Lively and Reynolds Accused of Manipulation

As media scrutiny surrounding the film intensified, Lively and Reynolds were accused of pressuring Baldoni to take the blame for the issues that arose during filming. All the while, Lively continued to focus on promoting the film, leaving Baldoni to handle the fallout alone. This situation has led to even more severe allegations against the power couple, who are accused of manipulating the situation for their benefit.

Baldoni’s legal team claims that Lively and Reynolds were not only using their power as Hollywood heavyweights but were actively sabotaging Baldoni’s reputation. According to the lawsuit, the couple’s actions directly led to damage to Baldoni’s career, with their influence distorting the narrative in the media.

A Shocking Lawsuit from Lively: Allegations of a Toxic Work Environment

Things escalated further when Blake Lively filed her own lawsuit in December 2024, accusing Justin Baldoni of creating a toxic work environment during the filming of It Ends with Us. This lawsuit marked the beginning of an even deeper legal war between the two stars. In response, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against The New York Times for publishing what he claims were false and defamatory videos about him.

This back-and-forth legal battle shows no signs of slowing down, with both sides fiercely defending their positions and accusing the other of serious wrongdoing. As the legal drama unfolds, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this isn’t just a typical Hollywood spat. The involvement of powerful figures like Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift has only fueled the fire.

The “Dragons” of Hollywood: Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift’s Alleged Influence

One of the most shocking elements to come out of this legal battle is the claim that Blake Lively enlisted the help of her “dragons”—Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift—to help pressure Baldoni into agreeing to a dramatic rewrite of the film’s script. According to text messages, Blake referred to Ryan and Taylor as her “dragons,” hinting at the immense power she believed they held in Hollywood.

These messages have stirred up even more controversy, as Blake compared herself to Khaleesi from Game of Thrones, saying she too had “dragons” who would protect her at all costs. Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift are widely seen as two of the most influential figures in the entertainment world, and their involvement in the film’s drama has left fans questioning just how much power they truly wield behind the scenes.

This Hollywood power play has been compared to the power struggles seen in blockbuster franchises like Game of Thrones, and many fans are left wondering just how much of this is about Hollywood politics and how much is about personal grudges.

A Heated Showdown: Legal Drama Continues

As the lawsuits continue, the public’s interest in this battle grows ever more intense. With both sides digging in their heels, and the stakes rising higher every day, it’s clear that the drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is far from over. Both stars have made it clear they want the truth to come out, but with so many secrets, lies, and shocking revelations already exposed, it’s impossible to predict where this legal war will end.

The relationship between these two Hollywood stars is unlikely to be repaired anytime soon, with both their personal and professional reputations hanging in the balance. As fans continue to follow every twist and turn of the legal drama, one thing is certain: Hollywood’s biggest battle is far from over.
