Blake Lively outlined missed work opportunities in her explosive lawsuit against It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni.
The 37-year-old actress starred opposite the 40-year-old actor in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name.
And days ago she alleged in legal paperwork that Baldoni sexually harassed her throughout the making of the movie and engineered a smear campaign against her.
One of the missed work gigs listed was hosting the season 50 premiere of Saturday Night Live in September, which came the month after the feature was released.
‘The effects on Ms. Lively’s professional life were immediate and substantial,’ says the suit, according to the lawsuit, via Just Jared.
‘Given the ongoing nature of the campaign and the associated negative public sentiment, Ms. Lively did not believe she could proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set,’ the filing states.
Furthermore, the lawsuit claims the smear campaign damaged Blake‘s business and inflicted ‘severe emotional distress’ upon her family.
Lively also alleges that Baldoni showed her explicit videos and photos of other women, openly discussed his struggles with pornography, and made inappropriate remarks about her appearance.
It Ends With Us tells the story of Lily Bloom (Lively), a woman confronting the trauma of domestic abuse inflicted by her husband, Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni).
The book was inspired by Hoover’s experience with domestic violence during her marriage to the author’s father.
Earlier reports included allegations that Baldoni showed Lively nude videos and images of other women, discussed his porn addiction and made inappropriate remarks about her weight, her late father, and other members of the cast and crew.
Recently revealed details allege even more outrageous behavior, with court documents obtained by People claiming Baldoni ‘improvised physical intimacy’ during a scene without prior discussion or choreography.
