An « It Ends With Us » crew member claims Blake Lively did try to « take power » over Justin Baldoni’s film, contradicting the actress’ version of what went down on the movie set.
Lively and Baldoni have taken their filming feud to the next level by filing lawsuits against each other. Lively accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming. Meanwhile, Baldoni insisted in his lawsuit that Lively « falsely » accused him in an attempt to repair her reputation following the fallout around the movie’s press tour after she took control of the film. Now, a crew member has seemingly backed up some of Baldoni’s claims.
« I feel, like, maybe Blake [Lively] smelled his kindness — mistook it for weakness — and tried to take advantage and take power », Talia Spencer, a storyboard artist for « It Ends With Us », said during an interview with « 60 minutes Australia. »
Spencer claimed Lively « tried to » gain control of the film, telling the interviewer, « I think there was a massive compromise in terms of Justin’s original vision for the film. » She added: « To see it be overtaken by this was definitely a little bit sad. »
While the crew member didn’t share any specific details from filming, Baldoni claimed Lively took control of « It Ends With Us » in his defamation lawsuit against the actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. According to Baldoni’s lawsuit, Lively « began inserting herself into the production process in intrusive ways well beyond the scope of her contractual entitlements » almost immediately.
Baldoni painted a picture of Lively’s campaign to take over control of the film, starting with the claim that the « Gossip Girl » star insisted on creative control of her wardrobe.
