Blake Lively has made shocking allegations against the executive producer of “It Ends With Us,” involving Justin Baldoni and his team in what she claims to be a deliberate attempt to tarnish her reputation. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Lively accused Steve Sarowitz, the co-founder of Wayfarer, Baldoni’s production company, of expressing intentions to spend $100 million to ruin her and her family’s lives.
In the same vein, Sarowitz allegedly threatened Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, insinuating that he would go after them if they crossed a certain line, even after the film’s commercial success. Lively further reported that Sarowitz compared his protection of the studio to Israel’s defense against Hamas, referencing a high number of casualties and hinting at severe consequences for those involved.
In response to Lively’s claims, Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, challenged the allegations and emphasized the evidence present in real-time documents and videos that contradict the narrative portrayed by Lively. Freedman criticized the lack of substantial proof and the reliance on unnamed sources in Lively’s amended complaint, indicating upcoming depositions that could shed light on the situation.
Lively’s legal team, consisting of Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, released a statement asserting the inclusion of additional evidence and previously undisclosed communications in the updated complaint. They plan to dismiss the lawsuits against Lively and Reynolds, moving forward with discovery to reveal more details about the defendants’ alleged efforts to sabotage Lively and her family.
The ongoing legal battle between Lively, Baldoni, and Sarowitz continues to unfold, with both parties adamantly defending their positions. As the case progresses, further revelations are expected to emerge, shedding light on the complex dynamics surrounding the dispute. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
