It was announced last week that Blake Lively was taking legal action against It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni, suing him for sexual harassment and for coordinating an alleged smear campaign against her to damage her reputation.
Lively's legal action comes after months of controversy, with the Colleen Hoover adaptation surrounded by reports of a rift between the two creative leads. And following the film's divisive release and reports of a "fracture" on-set, Lively in particular received a wave of negative attention.
