Justin Baldoni Found in Tears in Blake Lively’s Dressing Room, Causing Filming Delays
The unfolding drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has taken a bizarre turn. Sources reveal that Baldoni, who directed and starred in the film “It Ends With Us,” was discovered crying in Lively’s dressing room, which led to significant delays on the film set. According to reports, the emotional upheaval was triggered by online comments suggesting that Lively was “too old” for her role.
Lively claims that Baldoni’s outburst disrupted filming, forcing cast and crew to wait for hours. In her complaint, Lively details how Baldoni expressed distress over social media reactions, insisting he needed time to process the alleged negative feedback regarding her appearance based on paparazzi photos taken during filming. Lively attempted to calm him down, explaining that her character had endured trauma, and her appearance should reflect that rather than conform to traditional standards of attractiveness.
The complaint further suggests that Baldoni was overly fixated on Lively’s sexual appeal, causing the film shoot to suffer. Lively reportedly reached out to the film’s lead producer, Jamey Heath, to address Baldoni’s behavior. Heath’s arrival at Lively’s trailer was reportedly unannounced, and the situation escalated when Lively, who was in a vulnerable state, requested that Heath keep his back turned during their discussion. However, Lively alleged that he disregarded her request and stared at her instead.
In the broader context of the lawsuit, which also names Baldoni’s production company and several associates, Lively accuses the group of attempting to undermine her reputation amid these incidents. In a public statement following her legal action, Lively expressed hope that her case would shed light on the retaliatory tactics often employed against those who speak out against misconduct.
Representatives for Baldoni have dismissed Lively’s allegations as attempts to rehabilitate her public image. They characterize the claims as unfounded and sensationalized, aimed solely at generating negative attention for Baldoni.
Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, was present during meetings where she voiced her concerns, highlighting the intensity of the situation. The lawsuit outlines a pattern of behavior from Baldoni, including inappropriate comments about female cast members and instances of him making Lively uncomfortable during filming.
As this legal confrontation unfolds, it remains a significant topic within Hollywood, echoing larger discussions about accountability and the treatment of women in the industry.
