Blake Lively was offended when Justin Baldoni allegedly asked her an “intrusive” question about her and husband Ryan Reynold’s sex life while filming “It Ends With Us.”
The actress resurfaced a sexual harassment claim in an amended complaint filed Tuesday in which she alleges that actor-director tried to compel her to “orgasm” on camera during a scene.
Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 41, discussed taking out the scene and the latter “agreed,” per the complaint, but then allegedly made “a last-ditch attempt to keep one in which the couple orgasm together.”
The “Shadow of Fear” star allegedly told his co-star that it was “important to him” to keep that scene because “he and his partner climax simultaneously during intercourse.”
“Mr. Baldoni then intrusively asked Ms. Lively whether she and her husband climax simultaneously during intercourse, which Ms. Lively found invasive and refused to discuss,” the complaint further alleges.
Lively’s suit includes several other examples of alleged sexual harassment while making the movie.
She claims that a scene she and Baldoni filmed together, in which they were meant to be “dancing without dialogue, incorporated kissing that had not been previously approved by her or an intimacy coordinator.”
Baldoni has released the raw footage of the scene and denied that any inappropriate behavior took place.
Lively also alleges in her suit that she was asked to film a birth scene partially nude but the set was “chaotic, crowded, and utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scene.”
She claims Baldoni and his co-producer Jamey Heath “failed to close the set, allowing non-essential crew to pass through while Ms. Lively was partially nude from below the chest down with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia.”
The “Gossip Girl” alum alleges she was “not provided with anything with which to cover herself between takes until after she had made multiple requests.”
She also claims Heath showed her a video of his wife giving birth naked, which Lively “thought” was porn.
Baldoni has said in his $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, that this particular claim is “patently absurd.”
“The video in question was a (non-pornographic) recording of Heath’s wife and baby during a home birth—a deeply personal one with no sexual overtone,” his complaint states.
Lively further claims in her amended complaint, however, that she “was not alone” in being made to feel uncomfortable on set, noting that “multiple” unnamed women had also expressed concerns.
Although the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star does not name the other parties, she resurfaces the claim in her complaint that Baldoni had an inappropriate conversation with Isabela Ferrer, who played Young Lily, and her love interest, played by Alex Neustaedter, after they filmed a loss of virginity scene.
“Ms. Lively was informed that when this scene was shot, after Mr. Baldoni called ‘cut,’ he walked over to the actors and said, ‘I know I’m not supposed to say this, but that was hot,’ and, ‘did you two practice this before?’” the complaint alleges.
Reps for Ferrer and Neustaedter could not immediately be reached for comment. The actors have not publicly commented on their co-star’s ongoing legal feud.
However, Brandon Sklenar, who played Lively’s other love interest in the film, has publicly supported her before. Last December, he implored fans to read her initial California Civil Rights Department complaint.
Aside from the sexual harassment claims, Lively has also accused the “Jane the Virgin” alum of launching a smear campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation.
Baldoni denies all the claims. His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, tells Page Six in response to the amended complaint, “Our clients have been transparent in providing receipts, real time documents and video showing a completely different story than what has been manipulated and cherry picked to the media.
“Our clients have taken this matter and these issues very seriously notwithstanding the jokes made publicly by the plaintiff and her husband. Her underwhelming amended complaint is filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims.”
He concludes, “Since documents do not lie and people do, the upcoming depositions of those who initially supported Ms. Lively’s false claims and those who are witnesses to her own behavior will be enlightening. What is truly uncomfortable here is Ms. Lively’s lack of actual evidence.”
Freedman also spoke out earlier this week to slam Lively and Reynold’s appearance on “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special,” in which the “Deadpool” star, 48, seemingly made light of his wife’s situation.
The attorney said on “Hot Mics with Billy Bush” Monday, “I’m unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation.”
Lively and Baldoni are headed for trial with a start date of March 9, 2026, after turning down mediation.
