“Not only had Lively stolen the Film, but she also robbed Baldoni and his team of any genuine opportunity to celebrate their hard work.”
The lawsuit also included mentions of Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, who allegedly tried to “exile” Baldoni from the project and “berated” him during a meeting at the couple’s New York penthouse. Reynolds accused the director of “fat-shaming” his wife and the mother of his four children, as per the filing.
“Baldoni and [Wayfarer Studios] grew increasingly fearful of what Lively and Reynolds were capable of, as their actions seemed aimed at destroying Baldoni’s career and personal life,” the filing said.

Rumors of a feud between the two Hollywood stars had been swirling for months before the matter escalated and took a legal turn in December, 2024.
On the same day Baldoni filed the lawsuit against the New York Times, the actress filed a lawsuit in New York against her co-star for causing “severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment, belittlement, frustration, and mental anguish.”
Prior to filing the lawsuit, Lively filed a legal complaint—a precursor to a lawsuit—with the California Civil Rights Commission. She alleged in the complaint that Baldoni subjected her to sexual harassment, created a hostile work environment, and orchestrated a social media campaign to destroy her reputation.
