A timeline of the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni sexual harassment case
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s hard relationship has been publicly speculated on since last summer, when the pair notably embarked on very different promotional campaigns for their film, It Ends With Us – which stars both actors, while being produced by Lively and directed by Baldoni.
The film received mixed reviews, with some praising its portrayal of domestic maltreatment and others critiquing it for seemingly ‘glamourising’ a devastating issue (arguments also levelled at the Colleen Hoover novel from which it is adapted). Ultimately though, the movie itself has been overshadowed by the fallout between Lively and Baldoni, which since December 2024 has descended into both parties taking legal action against one another and Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, being pulled into the discourse.
Most recently (as of 16 January 2024), Baldoni and the film’s production corporation Wayfarer Studios have launched a countersuit against Lively and Reynolds for defamation and extortion, demanding a minimum of $400m (£326m) for damages, citing missing future income in the case.

Blake Lively is breaking her silence amid her legal battle against Justin Baldoni after never-before-seen video showed what it was love on the "It Ends With Us" set.
A legal team representing the actress — who is suing her co-star for sexual harassment in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act and the California Civil Code — said on Jan. 21 that the 10-minute footage "corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described" in her lawsuit.
"Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning," her attorneys told E! News in a Jan. 21 statement. "The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to touch her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how nice she smells, and talking with her out of character."
They alleged that "every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present."

There Are So Many Weird Things About Justin Baldoni's Marriage
Before their marriage even got started, Justin Baldoni made things weird. In what Justin has since described as a "big joke" while being interviewed on "Live with Kelly and Mark," he also credited the short film documenting his engagement as organism his directorial debut. "It was my first show, actually," he said. For its part, the over-26-minute-long proposal video is more an ode to Justin's talents than it is a genuine proposal to his now-wife Emily Baldoni. The movie starts with Emily arriving at a restaurant where Justin has installed several hidden cameras to catch her reactions. Then, she sits alone in the establishment while the video Justin has presented plays for her.
The movie-within-a-movie that Justin made for Emily shows him proposing to her in different viral scenarios, but something always goes wrong. The whole thing feels heavy-handed and ultimately leaves the viewer with a sad meaning of isolation for Emily, who has had to sit alone while creature secretly recorded as she watches it.
