It doesn’t end with Blake Lively.

The “It Ends With Us” actress claimed in an amended complaint filed in New York federal court Tuesday that she wasn’t the only person Justin Baldoni allegedly made “uncomfortable” on set.

The “Gossip Girl” alum’s complaint alleged that she “was not alone in complaining about Mr. Baldoni” while filming the August 2024 movie.

The court document referred to Lively as only “one of” multiple women Baldoni allegedly “one million percent made uncomfortable” during the project.

The amended complaint also stated that Baldoni acknowledged concerns voiced against his behavior in writing.

The women are not identified in the filing — nor are screenshots shared from their alleged text messages with Lively — due to concerns over cyberbullying and retaliation, but they are allegedly willing to “testify and produce responsive documents in the discovery process.”

The court document included a May 2023 message from Lively, 37, to a mutual friend of Baldoni, 41, and his Wayfarer Studios partner, Jamey Heath.

“It’s like HR nuts today. The both of them,” she wrote at the time. “I wasn’t expecting that turn. I mean it’s been present but today I came home and cried.”

In another text included in the amended complaint, Lively called Baldoni and Heath “creeps” before continuing, “Like keep your hormones to yourselves. This is not mine. I don’t want it. I don’t want you [sic] gaze or words or tongue or videos of your naked wife. Yeah. It’s shocking. Clowns.”

Lively shared her concerns with Sony employee Ange Gianetti two days later, according to the court documents.

Another female cast member allegedly did the same within three days of Lively.

While the woman in question was not named in the filing, Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer, notably, had major roles in the film based on Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name.

Lively also included a new claim of defamation in her amended complaint over comments made since she initially filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024.

Baldoni’s lawyer has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The “Jane the Virgin” alum sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, last month for $400 million — four times the couple’s net worth.

The “Man Enough” podcast host also took legal action against the New York Times for the outlet’s coverage of Lively’s sexual harassment complaint against him, which preceded her lawsuit by one week.

As the co-stars’ legal battle rages on — from gag order requests to mediation refusals — Baldoni has been photographed in Hawaii with his wife, Emily Baldoni, and their two kids.

Lively and Reynolds, meanwhile, made headlines for attending the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary special over the weekend, with the actor even taking part in a bit poking fun at the ongoing drama.

The outing was “not a good look,” a source told Page Six Monday, claiming the “Green Lantern” co-stars “should have sat this one out.”
