Blake Lively is suing her former It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment, according to reports.
The Gossip Girl star has claimed Baldoni tried to destroy her reputation and created a toxic work environment by showing her nude videos and images of other women as well as discussing his previous alleged porn addiction, TMZ reports.
In response, Baldoni's team has fired back calling the allegations a false attempt to boost her reputation.
According to the lawsuit, which TMZ obtained, things became so difficult during filming that an “all-hands-on-deck” meeting was called, with Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds among the attendees.
A list of demands in the lawsuit, which Lively said was because of Baldni’s conduct, included no more nude videos or images of women being shown to the actress, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged porn addiction, and no more discussions about sexual conquests.
The demands also called for no more mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Lively’s weight and no further mention of her dead father.
There was also a demand that there be "no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing by BL outside the scope of the script BL approved when signing onto the project."
Lively’s demands were reportedly embraced and approved by the studio.
But, Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, lashed out at the lawsuit, saying it was designed to "fix her negative reputation," adding the claims are "false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt."
Mr Freedman reportedly described Lively as a nightmare, "threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release."
Earlier this year Lively came under fire from fans for not addressing domestic violence enough during her press tour for the film.
Her husband Reynolds was also criticised and called “ignorant” this week after claiming he and Lively had working-class upbringings.
