Blake Lively Accuses Justin Baldoni of Inappropriate Questioning About Her Sex Life with Ryan Reynolds

In a surprising twist in the ongoing legal drama, actress Blake Lively has amended her lawsuit against director and actor Justin Baldoni, alleging that he asked her a very inappropriate question regarding her sex life with husband Ryan Reynolds. The 37-year-old actress claims that Baldoni, 41, made a “disturbing” inquiry while they were filming the controversial movie It Ends With Us.

According to court documents, Lively alleges that Baldoni attempted to persuade her to “orgasm” on camera during a particular scene. The two actors reportedly discussed the possibility of cutting that scene but had “agreed” to keep it, only for Baldoni to make a last-ditch effort to retain the moment where the couple would climax together.

The legal filing states that Baldoni allegedly told Lively that it was “important to him” to keep that specific scene because “he and his partner climaxed simultaneously during intercourse.” The legal text further details that Baldoni rudely asked Lively whether she and her husband achieved simultaneous orgasms during sex, which she found to be an invasion of privacy and refused to discuss.

Baldoni’s Legal Team Responds

Meanwhile, Baldoni’s attorney has pushed back against Lively’s amended complaint. Among the new claims made by the actress is that two other actresses from It Ends With Us are set to speak out and provide evidence supporting her allegations. However, Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, has publicly dismissed the amended filing as “unimpressive” in this ugly legal battle.

Freedman asserts that there appears to be no real new evidence in the record and believes that nothing added could be considered detrimental to his client. He stated, “This lawsuit is filled with baseless rumors from anonymous sources who clearly do not want to come forward or publicly support her claims.

Freedman also mentioned that his clients, including Baldoni, the public relations team, and Wayfarer Studios, have been transparent in providing receipts, real-time documents, and videos that tell a completely different story than what has been manipulated and selectively presented to the media.

The Allegations Continue

The incident comes as Lively filed her amended complaint on Tuesday, claiming that two other actresses on set also had uncomfortable experiences with the director and co-star during the filming of It Ends With Us. A source has countered these claims, stating, “Blake is really grasping at straws. People are saying she has clear evidence, and she really has nothing. Her amended complaint is baseless.”

The insider continued, “The bottom line is, Justin did not harass any other women on set. There have been no HR complaints from any women—including Blake. If he did, wouldn’t HR be the first place they’d go?”

The source went on to name the two actresses involved in the drama, including Isabela Ferrer and Jenny Slate. They stated, “In fact, Isabella praised Justin. She wrote about how wonderful he was to work with. And Jenny Slate wants nothing to do with this. She’s made that clear to several people.”

“It seems Blake doesn’t have any women willing to step forward and corroborate her claims. In the amended complaint, there are no text messages, emails, signals, WhatsApp messages, or anything from these alleged women. Justin has receipts. He has tangible evidence to defend himself, and it appears Blake has nothing to back up her claims.”

Privacy Concerns and Witnesses

Meanwhile, according to a spokesperson for Blake, the amended complaint does not name the alleged victims or witnesses or include their messages or screenshots to protect their privacy. However, the spokesperson stated, “It’s important to note that these alleged victims have allowed Ms. Lively to share their contact information in the amended complaint, and they will testify and present documents during the discovery process.”

The complaint is said to contain “significant evidence at the time” showing that Blake is not the only one making allegations of misconduct on set, along with “confirmation of her initial claims.” Reports also indicate that there is “detailed evidence of threats, harassment, and intimidation” not only against Blake but also against “many innocent bystanders.”

Baldoni’s Legal Strategy

Appearing on the podcast Hot Mics With Billy Bush this past Monday, Bryan discussed the ongoing case and even revealed the ideal outcome for his client, Baldoni. When asked if he would initially be willing to “mediate” with Blake’s legal team, the lawyer explained, “The question is whether he would be willing to mediate or not, and our answer is ‘no.’”

“We don’t want to do anything until Justin is cleared of being a predator or a sexual harasser. Until that is determined not to be the case, we will proceed with this,” Bryan stated firmly. This declaration underscores the seriousness with which Baldoni’s team is approaching the allegations, emphasizing their commitment to clearing his name.

The Stakes of the Case

As the legal battle unfolds, the stakes are high for both parties involved. For Blake Lively, the allegations could impact her career and public image, while for Justin Baldoni, the accusations could tarnish his reputation and future projects. The entertainment industry is notoriously unforgiving, and both actors are aware that public perception can shift rapidly based on the outcome of this case.

In the same podcast episode, Billy Bush probed deeper, asking, “What’s most important to Justin? Is it the $400 million or some kind of financial settlement to make up for… has he lost work? Have people turned their backs on him because of a future project?”

Bryan responded, “A significant amount of work,” but he did not specify any particular projects. This ambiguity leaves fans and industry insiders wondering about the potential fallout for Baldoni if the allegations are proven true or if they lead to a prolonged legal battle.

A Tense Atmosphere at SNL50

The situation has also created a tense atmosphere for Blake and Ryan Reynolds, who recently returned to the spotlight during the special SNL50 celebration. In a segment featuring audience questions, Ryan, 48, appeared to allude to the ongoing legal troubles.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off the exchange by asking, “How’s everything going?”

“Great. So, what have you heard?” the Deadpool star replied nervously, clasping his hands together. This moment of levity amidst the tension highlights the couple’s ability to maintain a sense of humor, even in the face of adversity.

Sources close to the situation have indicated that some attendees at the SNL special were “nervous” when interacting with the famous couple. The ongoing legal drama has cast a shadow over their public appearances, making it difficult for them to fully enjoy the spotlight without the weight of the allegations hanging over them.

“Blake is really trying to navigate this situation while also maintaining her career,” one insider revealed. “It’s a delicate balance, and the pressure is immense.”

The Impact on Their Careers

As both Blake and Justin continue to navigate the complexities of their respective careers amidst this legal battle, the impact of the allegations will likely be felt for some time. For Blake, the need to maintain her public image while addressing serious accusations is a challenging task. For Justin, the fight to clear his name and protect his career is equally daunting.

The entertainment industry is watching closely, and the outcome of this case could set a precedent for how similar allegations are handled in the future. As more details emerge, both actors will need to be strategic in their responses and actions.
