What has Blake Lively accused Justin Baldoni of doing during It Ends With Us?

Transcript

00:00Blake Lively has alleged Justin Baldoni sexually harassed her during the filming of his movie

00:04It Ends With Us. She has also come out saying Baldoni developed a sophisticated press and

00:09digital plan in retaliation against the actress when his behaviour threatened to come to light.

00:14Baldoni's alleged actions during filming and his subsequent PR campaign against Lively have been

00:19laid out in court documents. His legal representatives have denied the allegations.

00:24So what has Blake Lively actually accused Justin Baldoni of? Lively alleges that Baldoni

00:29subjected her along with the cast and crew to invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional and

00:34sexually inappropriate behaviour. Baldoni allegedly improvised physical intimacy without

00:38Lively's consent and apparently told her he could speak to dead people including her late father.

00:44Lively alleges that Baldoni told her he had engaged in sexual conduct without consent with

00:48a previous partner. She also says he made her film almost fully nude despite no mention of

00:54and added in invasive sex scenes. Baldoni's co-producer Jamie Heath also apparently behaved

01:00inappropriately with both men entering Lively's trailer when she was breastfeeding without her

01:04consent. And what are the smear campaign allegations? Lively alleges that Baldoni hired

01:10crisis communications specialist Melissa Nathan to manage his reputation whilst smearing her own.

01:15She was used by Johnny Depp. The filing includes screenshots of emails and texts between Baldoni,

01:20Nathan and her team where they discuss how to plant stories that make Lively look

01:24unreasonable. One text reads, we can't write we will destroy her. Imagine if a document saying

01:29all the things that he wants ends up in the wrong hands. Lively said that she hopes taking legal

01:34action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people

01:39who speak up about misconduct and help protect others who may be targeted.
