In the complaint put forth by the actress against Baldoni, a number of stipulations were added, which included "no more improvising of kissing." It added, "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."
According to the reports, Baldoni had allegedly accepted the conditions stated by the actress. However, in a statement to People Magazine, the actor-director's attorney claimed that the allegations by the Gossip Girl alum are "false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt."
Further in her complaints, Lively mentioned that "she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety" due to her co-star's behavior while shooting for the film.
The allegations against Justin Baldoni surfaced on the internet months after the Blake Lively-Jusin Baldoni feud, which went on to be the talk of the town. The co-actors posed separately on the red carpet of the premiere of their movie, nor were they seen sharing the frames together off camera.
It Ends With Us is available to stream on Netflix.
