According to documents obtained by TMZ, a meeting was held during the film’s production to address Lively’s grievances. Reportedly, the meeting included her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.
The lawsuit outlines specific demands, including prohibitions against showing nude images or videos of women to Lively, discussing Baldoni’s alleged past pornography addiction, making remarks about sexual exploits, referencing cast and crew members’ genitalia, commenting on Lively’s weight, or mentioning her deceased father.
The allegations came months after it was reported that Blake and Justin were in a feud during the promotions of the film. They did not pose for photos together on the red carpet and were not even seen sharing the space together at the premiere.
