Lively had accused Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath of misconduct, including entering her trailer uninvited during private moments, such as breastfeeding. Additionally, she claimed that intimate scenes were “unscripted and unplanned.”

Baldoni’s Defence and Counterclaims

Baldoni denies the allegations, insisting that Lively was “comfortable and collaborative” during the filming process. His defence includes:

  • Text exchanges indicating Lively’s request for specific wardrobe choices.
  • Clarifications that incidents in the trailer were misrepresented and involved consensual interactions.
  • Evidence showing an intimacy coordinator was present during scenes in question.

Escalating Legal Battle

Both parties have filed lawsuits, accusing each other of retaliation and misrepresentation. While Lively maintains her stance on workplace harassment and safety concerns, Baldoni accuses the media of bias in reporting and emphasises his adherence to professional boundaries.

The courtroom drama continues to unfold as both sides prepare for the next phase of legal proceedings.
