Blake Lively alleges Justin Baldoni pressured her to appear nearly nude during a birth scene in "It Ends With Us", calling it humiliating and violating.

Blake Lively has alleged in newly unsealed deposition testimony that Justin Baldoni pressured her to appear nearly nude during a birth scene in "It Ends With Us," describing the experience as "violative and humiliating." She claims she was forced to lie on her back in stirrups for hours, covered only by a thin fabric, and repeatedly asked for a blanket for privacy, which was not always provided. Lively also expressed discomfort with Baldoni’s close friends, including the actor playing the OB/GYN and film financier Steve Sarowitz, being present during the scene. Other cast and crew members, including Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer, reported similar concerns about Baldoni’s conduct, with Slate calling him a "false ally" and "narcissist." Author Colleen Hoover said she felt uneasy attending the premiere. Lively’s legal team cited early warnings about Baldoni’s behavior that were reportedly ignored. A court hearing is scheduled for January 22, 2026.
