“Ms. Lively was forced to directly address concerns about Mr. Baldoni and Mr. Heath’s misconduct with them, and began doing so months before filming began. The concerns she raised were not just for herself, but for the other female cast and crew, some of whom had also spoken up.”

According to the documents, some of the demands included no more showing Blake nude videos or pictures of women, no mention of Baldoni’s or Heath’s past ‘pornography addiction’, no more discussion of personal experiences with sex, no more descriptions of their own genitalia, no more adding sex scenes outside of what was in the original script, no more discussions about Blake’s weight or late father, and more.

At that time, all parties agreed that the outlined behavior would cease. Despite the agreement, Lively alleges in the complaint that Baldoni executed and engaged in a “social manipulation” campaign to “destroy” her career and reputation.

In a statement given to New York Timessaid Lively, “I hope my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to hurt people who speak out about wrongdoing and help protect others who may be targeted.”
