The Lawsuit: Allegations of Harassment and Toxic Behavior
Blake filed a lawsuit against Baldoni last week, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment during the production of their filmIt Ends With Us.
According to the complaint, Baldoni allegedly made inappropriate comments, introduced unsolicited sexual content into the script, and fostered a hostile workplace culture.
Baldoni, who directed and starred alongside Blake in the film, has denied all allegations.
The lawsuit further alleges shocking details, such as Baldoni showing Blake explicit material, improvising intimate physical acts during scenes without consent, and making intrusive comments about her personal life.
Additionally, the film’s producer,Jamey Heath, is accused of exacerbating the toxic environment by pressuring Blake into simulating nudity and invading her privacy.
A Tarnished Work Environment
The complaint outlines troubling incidents, including Baldoni allegedly biting and sucking Blake’s lip during a scene and entering her trailer unannounced while she was breastfeeding or undressed.
There’s also mention of an intimacy coordinator being brought onto the set after Blake raised concerns during a January meeting with studio representatives.
Blake’s team has also claimed that Baldoni and his crisis management group, led by Melissa Nathan and publicist Jennifer Abel, initiated a smear campaign against her.
Textmessagesincluded in the lawsuit reportedly reveal a deliberate strategy to discredit her, with Nathan allegedly boasting about her ability to “bury anyone.”

A “Chilling” Retaliation
One of the most shocking revelations involves messages discussing how to manipulate the narrative surrounding Blake.
Alleged plans include portraying her as difficult to work with and leaking fabricated stories to the media.
These texts also suggest efforts to use Blake’shusband, Ryan Reynolds, as part of their strategy.
Baldoni reportedly considered flipping the narrative by suggesting that Ryan “saved the movie” from Blake’s supposed creative control.
This calculated retaliation paints a grim picture of the lengths Baldoni and his team allegedly went to in order to protect his reputation.
Frosty Red Carpets and a Blocked Connection
Speculation about the tension between Blake and Baldoni began during the film’s press run.
Fans noted their lack of interaction on red carpets, attributing the frostiness to creative differences. The lawsuit, however, reveals these issues ran much deeper.
In May, Ryan Reynolds reportedly blocked Baldoni onInstagram, a move that, according to text messages, left Baldoni feeling uneasy.
While Blake hasn’t blocked Baldoni, she does not follow him back on the platform.
Ryan Reynolds: Blake’s “Rock”
Throughout this ordeal, Ryan has remained a pillar of strength for Blake.
A source revealed that he’s been “very proud of her in so many ways.”
The Deadpool star recently hinted at the tough times they’re facing while promoting a charity campaign for Sick Kids Hospital.
Donning his iconicDeadpoolsuit, Ryan admitted it wasn’t easy to step into the role during such an emotional time, but he and Blake are committed to matching donations up to $500,000.
Their close bond is evident, with Ryan’s actions speaking volumes about his unwavering support for Blake.
“They’ve built a life together that’s based on mutual respect and love,” the source added.
