Blake Lively's alleged feud with director and costar Justin Baldoni on the set of It Ends With Us exploded into multiple lawsuits in 2025. The former Gossip Girl star kicked off the legal battle by filing a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department and subsequently sued Baldoni over sexual harassment allegations. Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman fired back by calling Lively's allegations "completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious," before countersuing the actress for $400 million on the filmmaker's behalf in January 2025.
