Blake Lively has leveled serious allegations against her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni, claiming he engaged in sexual harassment and orchestrated a coordinated smear campaign against her.
According to the New York Times, Lively’s complaint names several other individuals and entities, including Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, Melissa Nathan, Jennifer Abel, RWA Communications, Street Relations Inc., and Jed Wallace.
In a statement to the New York Times, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”
