Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni are currently embattled in a bitter legal battle. The actress filed a sexual harassment suit against the actor and director in December. However, Baldoni’s lawyer claimed that the suit was a tactic for Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds to fix her negative reputation. Days later, Baldoni filed his own suit. Now, fans are speculating that the drama may have been caused by an affair that went wrong.
During the release and press for It Ends With Us, fans were certain there was some behind-the-scenes drama going on. Of course, they were right. Blake Lively is now accusing Justin Baldoni of adding in “gratuitous sexual content and/or scenes” and “improvised physical intimacy,” per People Magazine.
Meanwhile, Baldoni responded with his own lawsuit. He even shared alleged text messages from Lively to back up his claims. He even argued that the actress invited him to her trailer while she was breastfeeding.
According to Times of India, fans are now wondering if the legal drama between Baldoni and Lively may have something to do with a romance that went sour.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Affair Rumors Run Wild
“This Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni situation is getting crazier and crazier. I watched ‘It Ends With Us’ and it wasn’t all that bad — I kind of started to wonder if all of this was the aftermath [of] an affair gone wrong,” one person tweeted.
“Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni affair is on my 2025 bingo card,” said another.
“Were Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni having an affair or something?” a third person asked.
Meanwhile, fans aren’t the only ones speculation about what really happened between Blake and Justin. Comedian Zack Peter recently spoke out about the situation (via Sports Keeda). In his opinion, he believes that Lively may have developed “feelings” for Baldoni during their time working together. He also referenced the rumors that both Blake and her husband Ryan have allegedly cheated in the past.
“Did Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni catch feelings for each other? Hear me out. This whole thing is just so deep and so messy that there has to be a piece of it that we’re not getting. Because there are all the rumors about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds secretly having an affair while he was married to Scarlett Johansson and she was dating Penn Badgley,” the comedian stated.
Peter went on to reveal that if Blake and Justin were having some sort of inappropriate relationship, Ryan may have picked up on it. He alleged that Reynolds could have inserted himself into the movie’s production and even caused issues because of possible jealousy issues.
“They do have really intense chemistry. Maybe Ryan Reynolds saw something, maybe he was picking up on something. Maybe that’s why he wanted to be so involved to the point where he was re-writing some of their intimate scenes,” he added.
While Blake Lively has spoken out about her lawsuit, Justin Baldoni is staying quiet for now. The battle between the pair certainly seems to be heating up. It seems that the stars will have a lot of controversy on their plates heading into 2025. Of course, fans are eager to know the real story. As more details begin to emerge, the internet seems to be drawing its own conclusions. It appears that things may get even messier as the legal drama unfolds.
Unfortunately, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s bitter feud doesn’t bode well for an It Ends With Us sequel. Since their character’s stories continue in It Starts With Us, fans wondered if another movie may be on the way. However, that seems to be a no-go at this time.
