Blake Lively Rips Justin Baldoni for ‘It Ends With Us’ Video, ‘Damning’ Clip Proves Me Right

Blake Lively is thrilled Justin Baldoni determined to launch unedited footage from “It Ends With Us,” as a result of she says it solely proves her level … that she was visibly uncomfortable with Baldoni’s advances through the scene.

Blake’s authorized group tells TMZ, “Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning. Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint.”

They proceed, “The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.”

Whereas it’d appear to be they have been merely actors performing out a scene that is presupposed to depict them falling love … Blake’s group factors out not one of the intimacy was mentioned or choreographed. As they put it, “Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s co-star, but the director, the head of studio and Ms. Lively’s boss.”

Blake leaning away from Justin within the scene was not performing, in response to her legal professionals. They are saying, “The video shows Ms. Lively leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk. Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort. They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.”

As we reported, Justin’s group launched almost 10 minutes of uncooked footage, however they believed it proved he did NOT sexually harass Blake through the scene.

This newest improvement within the high-profile authorized conflict comes on the heels of Blake Lively’s authorized group responding final Thursday to Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit with a scathing assertion, saying … “This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim. This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender.”

Lively’s group says Justin and his manufacturing firm are pulling out all of the stops to attempt to “overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against sexual harassment allegations.”

Taylor Swift notably popped up in Justin’s lawsuit — the place he included a textual content he says reveals Blake Lively evaluating herself to Daenerys Targaryen, a significant character on “Game of Thrones” and TS and husband Ryan Reynolds are her “dragons.”

He is suing Lively, Reynolds and Blake’s publicist, Leslie Sloane for defamation, civil extortion, interference with contractual relations and a slew of different allegations — and is in search of a minimum of $400 million in damages.

On the opposite aspect … Blake accused Baldoni of exhibiting her bare pictures and movies of girls, speaking about an alleged “pornography addiction,” discussing his sexual conquests and commenting on her weight. After submitting her preliminary criticism, she sued Baldoni for psychological anguish and emotional misery.
