Blake Lively's sexual harassment accusations are disputed by Justin Baldoni, who presents unedited footage from 'It Ends With Us'.

The unedited footage from the set of "It Ends With Us" released by Justin Baldoni's team contradicts Blake Lively's claims of sexual harassment.

Baldoni's video, obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital and shared by his attorney, Bryan Freedman, addresses the actress' claims about a slow-dance scene in the lawsuit filed against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

According to Lively's Dec. 20 sexual harassment filing obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital, Baldoni allegedly leaned forward and slowly dragged his lips from her ear and down her neck while filming a slow dance montage scene, saying, "it smells so good." When Lively objected to this behavior, Baldoni's response was, "I'm not even attracted to you."

Lively's admission about her spray tan was the subject of Baldoni's comment.

Unedited footage of 'It Ends with Us' featuring Blake Lively has been released by Justin Baldoni.

In the video, Baldoni directs the scene while Lively talks to him, stating that it's more romantic to engage in conversation rather than just staring at each other.

As Lively cuddled with Baldoni, the actor joked, "Do you think I'm giving you a beard today?" She chuckled and replied, "I think I'm giving you a spray tan."

Lively replied, "It's not about the smell, it's my body makeup," after Baldoni said, "It smells good."

"The videos recorded on May 23, 2023, contradict Ms. Lively's portrayal of his behavior, as stated in the beginning of the video. The scene depicted the two characters developing feelings for each other and yearning to be near one another. Both actors acted appropriately within the context of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism."

"These are all three takes filmed of the sequence."

Lively did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's immediate request for comment.

"The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism." — Justin Baldoni's team

Baldoni and film producer Jamey Heath made detailed allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, intentional affliction of emotional distress, negligence and more in a complaint filed with the California Civil Rights department and later in federal court.

The "all-hands" meeting before filming began addressed issues such as no more showing nude videos or images of women to Lively, no more mention of Baldoni's previous "pornography addiction," no more discussions about personal experiences with sex, no more descriptions of their own genitalia, no more adding sex scenes outside what was in the original script, no more discussions about Lively's weight or deceased father, and more.

Lively falsely accused Baldoni in an attempt to repair her reputation after the fallout around the movie's press tour.

Lively's legal team denied any deliberate smear campaign and instead accused Baldoni and others of sexual harassment to repair her reputation.

The lawsuit stated that the defendant could not bear the thought of her tarnished image being exposed to the public for even a second, and she refused to accept responsibility for her own mistakes. Instead, she chose to blame the plaintiffs in a vindictive and unforgiving manner.

"She waited for months to publicly attack Baldoni by falsely accusing him of sexual harassment, after she and Reynolds failed to force Baldoni and Wayfarer to read a statement they prepared, extorting them to take accountability for Lively's actions."

Lively's team slammed Baldoni's lawsuit in a statement.

"The latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its associates is another example of the abuser's playbook, according to Lively's legal team. This is a familiar pattern: A woman comes forward with evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation, and the abuser tries to shift the blame onto the victim. This is known as DARVO, which stands for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim Offender."

The abuser's response to sexual harassment allegations is to blame the victim and focus on what she was wearing. This strategy is desperate and does not refute the evidence in Ms. Lively's complaint, and it will ultimately fail.
