Justin Baldoni Is Now Accusing Blake Lively Of Adding An Improvised Kiss To It Ends With Us

by

Despite the movie It Ends With Us being released months ago, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are still in a legal dispute over their work on the film. Recently, Baldoni’s team claimed that Lively unexpectedly kissed him during a scene without it being part of the script. Here’s a closer look at what’s being alleged.

Justin Baldoni Accuses Blake Lively Of An Unscripted It Ends With Us Kiss

According to a recent report, the lawyers for Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us director, Justin Baldoni, are now discussing an unplanned kiss during filming. A new legal filing submitted on November 13th includes previously unseen footage of Baldoni and actress Blake Lively, playing their characters Lily and Ryle, sharing a brief kiss during a hospital scene that didn’t make it into the final movie. You can view the footage on People’s website.

Baldoni’s lawyers argue that Lively, who also produced the film, directed the kissing scene between their characters ‘take after take,’ despite the kiss not being originally written into the script.

What Does This Mean For Their Legal Battle?

These recent claims are relevant to the disagreements between Lively and Baldoni because reports show Lively met with Baldoni and the show’s producers in early 2024, while filming resumed after the strikes. She reportedly had requirements for returning, including a request to stop improvising kissing scenes.

Baldoni’s lawyers recently brought up a newly discovered scene filmed in May 2023, before the actors’ strike halted production. This predates the meeting where Lively allegedly raised concerns. While the clip doesn’t definitively prove the kisses weren’t scripted or improvised, it does strengthen Baldoni’s argument against Lively’s claims. Baldoni’s legal team likely sees this as important evidence supporting their case, even though it may seem like a minor detail.

A trial involving the creators of It Ends With Us is scheduled for March, and both sides plan to present evidence in court. However, the defendants recently asked the judge to rule in their favor without a trial, hoping to resolve the case quickly. The judge hasn’t made a decision on this request yet.

Blake Lively has won previous legal battles, and a judge dismissed a countersuit filed by Baldoni. However, Baldoni’s legal team says they will continue to represent him in the lawsuit brought by Lively. Lively’s team reports she has already suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in losses due to these legal issues. We will provide updates as the situation develops.
