Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni on Tuesday, accusing her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director of sexual harassment, an “unconscionable” smear campaign against the actress and breach of contract following a Jan. 4 meeting where the actor and co-plaintiffs agreed to cease “harassing behavior and other disturbing conduct.”
The suit details the meeting at length, which saw Lively’s husband and “Deadpool & Wolverine” star Ryan Reynolds attending as her representative, calling it an “all hands” initiative “convened in New York to address the hostile work environment that had nearly derailed production of the film.”
The suit further claims causes of retaliation, aiding and abetting harassment and retaliation, intentional and negligence infliction of emotional distress and false light invasion of privacy.
