Blake Lively could yet be forced into a fresh round of legal turmoil over It Ends With Us, with court filings in California indicating that the actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and director Justin Baldoni may all be required to give sworn depositions in a related case involving Baldoni's former publicist.
For starters, Blake Lively's dispute with Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, began with a December 2024 sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit tied to their work on the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestseller It Ends With Us. Lively, now 38, alleged that after she raised concerns about harassment, Baldoni orchestrated a 'mean girl' smear campaign that damaged her career and cost her tens of millions in lost opportunities. Baldoni, 42, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
