Although filming for the movie «It Ends With Us» has long been completed, the legal battle between Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni is far from over. In August 2024, when the drama about domestic violence began its promotional events, fans noticed that the on-screen duo was not being photographed together or participating in joint interviews. Rumors of discord began to circulate, and ultimately, on December 21, 2024, Blake filed a lawsuit against her filming partner, accusing him of sexual harassment and organizing an allegedly defamatory campaign against her, according to TMZ. Baldoni’s lawyer, Brian Friedman, vehemently denied the accusations against his client in a sharp statement to The Hollywood Reporter, calling them «categorically false».
According to Variety, on December 31, Baldoni filed a $ 250 million lawsuit against The New York Times for their coverage of this story, which, in Baldoni’s opinion, favored Lively’s version. He then filed a lawsuit against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds on January 16, 2025, accusing them of «intercepting» his film and making false accusations against him.
As disagreements escalate in one of Hollywood’s most prominent legal battles, find out how to watch the movie that started all of this.
Part of the dispute surrounding «It Ends With Us» is the film’s theme — domestic violence. The film tells the story of Lily Bloom (Lively), a flower shop owner, trying to overcome a problematic romantic relationship with the charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni). Lily’s dark secret is that her recently deceased father was cruel to her mother. Therefore, when she encounters violence in her new romance, she finds herself at a loss. During storms, she reunites with her first love, Atlas Corrigan, and must decide whether to break the cycle in her family.
In addition to the two struggling main characters, the film also stars Jenny Slate from Saturday Night Live as Allysa, Ryle’s sister and Lily’s friend, comedian Hasan Minhaj as Ryle’s son-in-law, and Brandon Sklenar as Atlas.
