Blake Lively's amended lawsuit against Justin Baldoni says he knew other women on 'It Ends With Us' set complained about him

• Blake Lively has filed an amended lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" costar Justin Baldoni.
• The amended complaint alleges Lively was not the only woman to complain about Baldoni's on-set behavior.
• "Mr. Baldoni acknowledged the complaints in writing at the time," the newly filed court papers say.

Blake Lively alleges in an amended lawsuit against Justin Baldoni that she was not the only woman on the "It Ends With Us" set to complain about his behavior.

The amended 163-page complaint — which is 52 pages longer than the original sexual harassment complaint that Lively filed in December — says that Baldoni made other women "uncomfortable" on the set of the summer box-office hit.

It also says Baldoni — Lively's costar and director in "It Ends With Us" — and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, knew about it.

"Ms. Lively brought this lawsuit because she was one of the 'women or two' that Mr. Baldoni 'one million percent' made 'made uncomfortable' on the set of the Film," the amended complaint, filed late Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, says.

The amended complaint says that the "false narrative" by Baldoni and the other defendants, which includes Wayfarer Studios, his fellow producers, and his publicists, "crumbles under the indisputable truth that Ms. Lively was not alone in complaining about Mr. Baldoni and raised her concerns contemporaneously as they arose in 2023."

Those complaints by Lively and other cast members were documented at the time they began in May 2023, the amended suit alleges.

"Importantly, and contrary to the entire narrative Defendants have invented, Mr. Baldoni acknowledged the complaints in writing at the time," the court papers say. "He knew that women other than Ms. Lively also were uncomfortable and had complained about his behavior."

The additional women that the amended lawsuit refers to are not named in the court documents. However, the newly-filed complaint says that those "witnesses" have given Lively "permission to share the substance of their communications" and it says they will "testify and produce responsive documents in the discovery process."

Attorneys for Baldoni and his film studio did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Business Insider on Lively's amended complaint.

Lively's attorneys Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb told BI in a statement on Wednesday that their client's amended lawsuit "provides significant additional evidence and corroboration of her original claims."

"The complaint includes significant contemporaneous evidence that Ms. Lively was not alone in raising allegations of on-set misconduct more than a year before the Film was edited; as well as evidence detailing the threats, harassment, and intimidation of not just Ms. Lively, but numerous innocent bystanders that have followed defendants' retaliatory campaign," Hudson and Gottlieb said.

Lively's amended complaint adds Texas crisis consultant Jed Wallace and his PR firm Street Relations as defendants. Wallace sued Lively earlier this month for defamation. Attorneys for Wallace did not immediately respond to a request for comment by BI.

Lively initially sued Baldoni in December, accusing him of sexual harassment on the "It Ends With Us" set and of engaging in a retaliatory online smear campaign against her after she made the accusations.

Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, then countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in a defamation complaint seeking $400 million in damages. The two cases have since been consolidated into one.

Lively's attorneys, Hudson and Gottlieb, told BI on Wednesday that over the next several weeks the legal team will move to dismiss the "utterly meritless lawsuits brought against Ms. Lively and Mr. Reynolds."

The lawyers said they will "move full speed ahead with discovery that we expect will reveal shocking details about the depth to which the Defendants have sunk in their unending efforts to 'bury,' 'ruin,' and 'destroy' Ms. Lively and her family."
