What’s happening with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni lawsuit ahead of ‘explosive’ series?

The controversy surrounding It Ends With Us continues as Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit is set to be examined in a Discovery+ series.

Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud is set to come to screens in the coming months and will examine the explosive fallout between the former co-stars.

Their feud began in August 2024 when Lively, 37, faced intense criticism in after claims the two leading stars were embroiled in a bitter feud.

While doing press for the film, the pair stayed largely silent with Baldoni, 40, saying in a ‘movie like this’, there is ‘always friction’.

Lively then launched legal proceedings against the director in December 2024, with claims of sexual harassment stemming from the production of the film.

Baldoni then sued the New York Times for $250million (£185m) for their story about Lively’s harassment claims.

He then sued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds in January for $400m (£235m), citing defamation, extortion and more – which was tossed by a judge on June 9.

Now, Taylor Swift is involved and is set to hand over her text messages.

Here’s what you need to know about the complicated fallout and what’s been happening for the past few months.

Lively is suing Justin Baldoni, the director of It Ends With Us, who also starred in the movie as the abusive love interest, Ryle Kincaid.
