Actress Blake Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni has gained momentum with the addition of two anonymous female accusers willing to testify. Lively claimed that they, along with other cast and crew members, experienced inappropriate behavior from Baldoni on the set of “It Ends With Us.” Legal experts believe that the testimony of these additional accusers could be crucial in supporting Lively’s claims.
The lawsuit, which also implicates film producer Jamey Heath, alleges harassment, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and more. Lively detailed the allegations against Baldoni and Heath in a complaint filed in federal court after initially reporting to the California Civil Rights department.
Baldoni has denied the accusations, claiming that Lively fabricated the charges to repair her reputation following the fallout of the movie’s press tour. His legal team has criticized the amended complaint, labeling it as “unsubstantial hearsay.” They assert that documents and witnesses will reveal a different story than the one presented by Lively.
The involvement of third-party witnesses in the case could establish the set of “It Ends With Us” as a hostile work environment, potentially strengthening Lively’s claims. As the legal battle between Lively and Baldoni continues, the role of these additional accusers and the credibility of the testimonies will be critical in determining the outcome of the case.
