Actor Blake Lively has sued the director of the film “It Ends With Us” alleging harassment on the set and a coordinated campaign to smear her reputation.

Lively formally filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, his film studio and public relations team after previously filing a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department.

It Ends With Us is back in the news in a very unfortunate way. The film was controversial from the start, with arguments over its source material’s depiction of domestic violence (it’s based on Colleen Hoover’s novel) and whether or not star Blake Lively fit the lead role of Lily Bloom.
