Trigger warning: This article contains references to sexual assault
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s old video from the set of It End’s With Us has surfaced on the internet amid the ongoing legal battle between the co-stars. The actress filed a suit against the film’s director-actor on the grounds of sexual harassment and running a defamation campaign against her.
A few weeks later, Baldoni also filed a countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for allegedly defaming him and trying to ban him from the film’s premiere.
Meanwhile, the video that is going viral shows a strange conversation between the co-stars. It appears the actors are discussing the shape of Baldoni’s nose. The Age of Adaline actress adds, “It’s just like a nose.” The Jane the Virgin actor responds, “I know, and I have a huge nose,” and laughs.
The actress continued, “Yes, I was hoping we could take care of it. It’s not too late yet. Just have to stop. Will have to call an insurance month and just deal with it. Just kidding.” Agreeing with his co-star, Baldoni says, “No, it’s true.”

The conversation between Lively and Baldoni has been documented in a court case filed by the actor. The statement reads, “Lively again took him out of character and began to joke about Baldoni’s nose, which he laughed off and joked about in return, even as Lively Joked that she should get plastic surgery.”
It further states that Lively falsely alleged that the scene was filmed without sound. Baldoni was wearing a microphone and the entire conversation was captured on camera.
As for the lawsuits filed, Colleen Hoover, author of the novel on which the film was based, came out in support of the actress who played Lily Bloom in the film.
It End’s With Us is available to stream on Netflix.
