Justin Baldoni shares It Ends With Us footage to deny Blake Lively’s sexual harassment allegations

Justin Baldoni has released new footage from It Ends With Us as he continues to deny sexual harassment allegations.

The actor has been accused by co-star Blake Lively of acting inappropriately. Lively’s legal action last month against her It Ends with Us co-star and director alleged not only sexual harassment but a concerted effort by shadowy PRs to smear the actress after she complained.

Court documents also claim that the “emotional impact on Ms. Lively has been extreme” with her husband Ryan Reynolds and four children all affected.

However, Baldoni hit back with his own lawsuit against Lively and her actor husband Ryan Reynolds – claiming they are smearing him. The documents also claimed Lively’s PR “escalated the false narrative by telling…[a] reporter that Blake was ‘sexually assaulted’—an unsubstantiated accusation that not even Lively had gone so far as to claim, designed to destroy Baldoni and his reputation. ”

And now, Baldoni’s legal team has shared a 10 minute video in a bid to further refute sexual harassment claims. They believe the footage now shows there was no wrongdoing from Baldoni and think the words back up their claims. They have previously said the star has ‘nothing to hide’ and feel the footage backs this up.

The footage, obtained by Page Six, opens with a statement from his team. They state that Lively claimed in her suit that he was “behaving inappropriately” during a slow dancing scene.

However, the footage, which was filmed in May 2023, has been shown to try to deny her claims. Lively had previously insisted the footage had no audio.

The statement read: “The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism. These are all three takes filmed in sequence. ”

The clip showed the pair filming a slow dance scene for the movie. It also shared audio of the duo engaging in small talk. As the actress told her co-star she felt it was “more romantic” to talk while they danced, the actors later embraced and put their heads together. Lively then joked that she felt “so nosey,” referring to their noses touching. Baldoni joked back: “I know. And my nose is so big. ”

Other comments heard in the footage had Baldoni joking he was probably “getting beard” on Lively. She responded that she was probably getting spray tan on him before he told her: “It smells good. “

Lively then tells him: ‘Well it’s not that, it’s my body makeup. ’
