The latest lawsuit follows Lively and her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director Justin Baldoni suing one another following a troubled production on the film.

A few weeks later, Baldoni filed another lawsuit, this time for $400 million, naming Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. He alleged that the Hollywood couple attempted to take control of *It Ends With Us* and reshape its narrative to fit their own agenda.

The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni situation gets ickier by the day, but this new wrinkle is kind of funny. A PR crisis management firm just sued Blake Lively for defamation—yes, the very thing other wealthy clients would normally hire it to handle.

A New York court has also set a March 2026 trial date and intends to consolidate the crisscrossing lawsuits between Lively and her director and co-star, who is suing both Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds.

It Ends With Us' stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have been embroiled in legal back-and-frth since December 2024 when Lively filed a complaint against the actor. Here's a complete timeline of the legal drama.

A source tells Page Six that reports that Swift is trying to distance herself from Lively given the scandal are “not true.”

When Blake Lively, who rose to fame in the 2000s in Gossip Girl, was cast as the main character, fans became even more excited, describing her as the perfect choice to play Lily Bloom, a young woman who grew up witnessing domestic abuse and winds up in the same position years later.

Justin Baldoni said he wasn't in "the best place" lately and was "having some anxiety" following "It Ends With Us" drama with his co-star Blake Lively.
