Blake Lively alleges Justin Baldoni 'cried' over her not looking 'hot' enough on set

Justin Baldoni allegedly "cried" over Blake Lively's appearance early in the production of It Ends With Us, according to the actress’s sexual harassment complaint against her co-star and director.

In documents obtained by The New York Times, Lively, 37, accused Baldoni, 40, of entering her trailer while she was nude and allowing his "friends" to watch her film intimate scenes. She alleged these actions, along with others, created a "hostile work environment."

Lively claimed Baldoni treated her as a "sex object" and fixated on her weight.

"On the second day of filming, for example, Mr. Baldoni made the rest of the cast and crew wait for hours while he cried in Ms. Lively's dressing room, claiming social media commentators were saying that Ms. Lively looked old and unattractive based on paparazzi photos from the set," the filing alleges.

Lively said she tried to reassure Baldoni, telling him "that she should look authentic in the scenes depicted in the photos, which were just after her character had been abused by her fictional husband, rather than 'hot.'"

The actress also alleged that Baldoni repeatedly focused on her appearance and "routinely degraded" her by finding "back channel ways of criticizing her body and weight."

The filing claimed Baldoni secretly contacted Lively's fitness trainer, suggesting she "lose weight in two weeks" and expressing concerns about lifting her for an upcoming scene, though no such scene was included in the script.

However, while completing privacy forms, Lively discovered that the "expert" was actually a "weight loss specialist."

In another incident, Lively, who was nursing her son at the time, wore a low-cut dress to facilitate breastfeeding. 

She alleged Baldoni "commented about how much he liked her outfit" and later asked her to remove her coat in front of "the crew and multiple background actors in a packed bar."

According to Lively, Baldoni justified the request by saying he wanted to "see her 'onesie' under the coat because it was zipped low to reveal her lace bra."

She further claimed Baldoni allegedly told her, "I think you look sexy," which made her feel "ogled and exposed."

Another woman who witnessed the incident reportedly comforted Lively and shared her own experiences of Baldoni making inappropriate sexual comments toward her.
