The famous Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been sued for $400 million by "It Ends With Us" director Justin Baldoni. Baldoni alleged that Lively was trying to ruin his career with false sexual harassment accusations. According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the incident began with Lively accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment just before Christmas. The famous actress claimed that she was harassed on set and that a toxic work environment was created. In a countersuit, Baldoni alleged that Lively and her husband Reynolds were trying to take control of the film by using their star power. It was claimed that Lively hadn't even read the book that the screenplay was based on before starting to shoot the film. HELD IN THE BUILDING'S BASEMENTThe most shocking part of the incident occurred at the film premiere on August 6, 2024. Baldoni's lawyers claimed that the director and his family were held in the building's basement on the night of the premiere at Lively's request. Lively's legal team stated in their announcement, "This lawsuit is a classic abuser tactic. When a woman comes forward with concrete evidence of harassment, the abuser tries to turn the situation around." In a statement from the film crew, it was noted that some employees received death threats and were subjected to antisemitic slurs following Lively's accusations. Industry experts indicate that both parties' careers could be seriously affected by this process. The outcome of the case is eagerly awaited in Hollywood.
