Meanwhile, the documents retrieved by the media portals show that the Age of Adeline star added several stipulations to her complaint. The actress mentioned, "No more personal, physical touching of, or sexual comments by Mr. Baldoni or Mr. Heath to be tolerated by [Blake Lively] and/or any of her employees, as well as any female cast or crew without their express consent."
Moreover, it stated that "she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety" due to her co-star's behavior while shooting for the film.
It Ends With Us has been making headlines for the feud between the co-stars. Often, at the premiere and promotional events, Lively and Baldoni posed separately. The duo was not even seen sharing the same frame off-screen.
The movie is available to stream on Netflix.
