Blake Lively Sues “It Ends with Us ”Costar Justin Baldoni for Sexual Harassment, Claims He Caused Her 'Severe Emotional Distress'

Blake Lively is suing her It Ends with Us costar Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment.

Months after rumors of behind-the-scenes discord on the set of the adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel, the actress, 37, said in the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, that Baldoni's alleged behavior caused her "severe emotional distress." (Baldoni, 40, also served as It Ends with Us' director.)

Per the outlet, the lawsuit states there was a meeting held to address Lively's claims and her demands for working on the film. It was attended by various figures, including Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds.

Some of the demands that were addressed, according to the lawsuit cited by TMZ, included "no more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni's alleged previous 'pornography addiction,' no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew's genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake's weight, and no further mention of Blake's dead father."

"No more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing by BL outside the scope of the script BL approved when signing onto the project," were other demands mentioned in the lawsuit, according to TMZ.

According to TMZ, the lawsuit states that Sony Pictures, who distributed the film, approved of Lively's requests. However, Lively claims in the lawsuit that Baldoni then took part in a "social manipulation" campaign to "destroy" her reputation soon after.

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni's lawyer, told TMZ in a statement that Lively's lawsuit was to "fix her negative reputation." He also told the outlet that her allegations are "false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt."

Freedman added that Lively caused problems on set of the film, which is currently streaming, "threatening to not showing up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release."

Representatives for Lively, Baldoni and Sony did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, nor did Freedman.

It Ends with Us follows Lily, played by Lively, a woman who moves to a new city following college graduation and meets and falls in love with a man named Ryle, portrayed by Baldoni, who becomes abusive. Her newfound bliss isn't long-lived, however, as a blast from the past comes back in the form of her ex-lover who turns her world upside down.

Reports of Baldoni's alleged behavior surfaced earlier this year, when The Daily Mail published a report alleging Baldoni was "chauvinistic" and "borderline abusive" on the set of It Ends with Us. The same day, Page Six reported Baldoni created an “extremely difficult” atmosphere behind the scenes for the entire cast.

Rumors of a rift between Lively and Baldoni then sparked as the cast embarked on the official press tour for the movie.

"All is not what it seems," a set source told PEOPLE about the rift in August. "There is much more to this story."

"The principal cast and [author] Colleen Hoover will have nothing to do with him," the insider added, referencing Baldoni.
