In the film, Lively portrays Lily, a woman whose life becomes complicated when she starts a relationship with Baldoni\u2019s Ryle, only for her former partner to reappear. The movie, which competed with Ryan Reynolds\u2019 Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em> during its theatrical release, garnered significant attention and recently performed well on Netflix during its streaming debut.<\/p>\n Tensions between Lively and Baldoni had reportedly been brewing for some time, with earlier reports accusing Baldoni of being \u201cdifficult to work with\u201d and fostering a hostile atmosphere on set. Sources close to the production hinted at deeper conflicts, and during the press tour in August, it became evident that relations between the two stars were strained.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to Lively\u2019s legal filing, Baldoni is accused of orchestrating a campaign to damage her professional reputation. TMZ reports that Lively has outlined a series of incidents, including Baldoni allegedly sharing inappropriate content and making unwelcome comments about her weight and personal life during production.<\/p>\n The suit also references a meeting in which Lively demanded changes to Baldoni\u2019s on-set behavior, which included a ban on showing explicit images, discussing his sexual experiences, and altering any intimate scenes outside the scope of the script. Although the studio complied with these requests, tensions reportedly continued to escalate.<\/p>\n In response, Baldoni\u2019s legal team has dismissed the claims, accusing Lively of using the lawsuit to rehabilitate her image and labeling her behavior on set as unprofessional. They allege that her actions, including threatening to boycott filming and promotional events, contributed to the film\u2019s challenges during its release.<\/p>\n While It Ends With Us<\/em> achieved notable success, the behind-the-scenes discord now threatens to overshadow the film itself. As the legal battle unfolds, it seems this chapter of turmoil in Hollywood is far from over.<\/p>\nWhat Does the Lawsuit Claim?<\/h3>\n
