Justin Baldoni is facing a storm of allegations, but are they true? An insider from the set of It Ends With Us claims that ‘obvious lies’ have been spread about the director. The accusations reportedly come from none other than Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
The insider speaks out
A source who worked closely on the $350 million film says Baldoni was always ‘caring,’ ‘sensitive,’ and ‘thoughtful’—especially during intimate scenes with Lively. They claim to have text messages proving his professionalism and respect. The insider insists Baldoni went out of his way to ensure Lively was comfortable, always checking in before filming difficult scenes. He allegedly followed all proper protocols and even adjusted choreography to accommodate her preferences.
The source also refuted claims that Baldoni acted inappropriately, stating that every interaction was “strictly professional.” They believe Lively and Reynolds are using their celebrity status to manipulate the narrative and ruin Baldoni’s reputation.
SNL joke sparks backlash
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds reignited controversy during SNL’s 50th Anniversary Special. When Reynolds joked, “Great—why, what have you heard?” viewers accused the couple of gaslighting Baldoni. Critics slammed Reynolds for making light of serious allegations.
Blake Lively’s explosive claims
Lively accused Baldoni of ‘improvised physical intimacy’ in a sex scene, biting her lower lip without consent, and making inappropriate comments about her body. She also alleged he showed her explicit content and discussed his pornography struggles.
Baldoni denies all allegations. He is suing Lively and Reynolds for defamation and civil extortion in a massive $400 million countersuit. His legal team claims Lively and Reynolds are using their wealth to prolong the case, making it financially devastating for him.
Experts weigh in
Psychologists and legal experts have condemned Reynolds’ SNL joke. They argue it trivializes sexual harassment and could discourage victims from coming forward. Critics say making light of such allegations reinforces toxic Hollywood culture.
Bombshell lawsuit details
Lively’s lawsuit, filed in December, contains shocking claims. She alleges Baldoni entered her trailer while she was nude, forced multiple reshoots of intimate scenes, and let others watch her during filming. Baldoni, however, calls these claims baseless and says he has evidence proving his innocence.
Both sides are fighting in court and in the media. Baldoni’s legal team launched a website sharing text messages and videos that challenge Lively’s allegations. Meanwhile, Reynolds and Lively are accused of trying to destroy Baldoni’s career.
Hollywood remains divided. Some stars side with Lively, while others remain skeptical. Kevin Costner’s viral grimace during Reynolds’ SNL joke suggests not everyone found it funny. The entertainment world is watching closely as this legal battle unfolds.
