The meeting between Lively and Baldoni, along with others involved in the film’s production, took place on January 4 of this year and was aimed at addressing “the hostile work environment” on the set, the legal document says.
Lively’s husband, Deadpool star Mr. Reynolds, who did not appear in It Ends With Us, joined her in the confrontation, according to the legal complaint, which is a step before a lawsuit.
Baldoni, 40, attended the meeting in his capacity as co-president and co-founder of the company that produced the film, Wayfarer Studios. He was also the director of the film.
In the legal complaint, Lively’s lawyers allege that both Baldoni and Wayfarer CEO Jamey Heath engaged in “inappropriate and unwanted behavior toward Lively and others on the set of It Ends With Us.”
Filing with the California Department of Civil Rights, the meeting presented a list of 30 demands related to the couple’s alleged misconduct to ensure they could continue producing the film.
Among them, Lively, 37, asked that Baldoni and Heath’s previous “porn addiction” be no longer mentioned to Lively or other crew members, that no further descriptions of her own genitals be made to Lively and that “no more adding sex scenes, oral sex or on-camera climaxes by BL (Blake Lively) outside the scope of the script that BL approved when signing the project,” the complaint says.
Lively also demanded that Baldoni stop saying he could talk to his dead father.
