Blake Lively Allegedly Told ‘It Ends With Us’ Costar Justin Baldoni to Get a Nose Job

Justin Baldoni alleged in a new lawsuit that his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively suggested he get a nose job.

News broke on Thursday, January 16, that Baldoni, 40, his studio and other plaintiffs sued Lively, 37, Reynolds, 48, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane, for $400 million in damages.

In one portion of the 120-page lawsuit, which was obtained by Us Weekly, Baldoni alleged that Lively “continued to break character” in a montage scene and “speak as herself rather than as Lily, which was extremely confusing for Baldoni.”

“Lively apologized for the smell of her spray tan and body makeup. Baldoni responded, ‘It smells good,’ and continued acting, slow dancing as he believed his character would with his partner, which requires some amount of physical touching,” the filing read. (In Lively’s December 2024 lawsuit against Baldoni, she claimed of the same scene, “At one point, he leaned forward and slowly dragged his lips from her ear and down her neck as he said, ‘It smells so good.’ None of this was remotely in character, or based on any dialogue in the script, and nothing needed to be said because, again, there was no sound — Mr. Baldoni was caressing Mr. Lively with his mouth in a way that had nothing to do with their roles. When Ms. Lively later objected to this behavior, Ms. Baldoni’s response was, ‘I’m not even attracted to you.’”)

According to Baldoni, “Lively took them out of character again and began to joke about Baldoni’s nose, which he laughed off and joked in turn, even as Lively joked that he should get plastic surgery,” his lawsuit stated.

The lawsuit included a footnote, which read, “Lively alleges Baldoni inappropriately commented on her physical appearance. It was the other way around.” (The footnote was referring to Lively’s December 2024 lawsuit, where she sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and alleged he body-shamed her on set. Baldoni denied all allegations.)

Baldoni’s Thursday filing claims that despite Lively alleging the scene was filmed without sound, he was wearing a microphone during the scene — and that the exchange between him and Lively is captured on camera.

“Any suggestion that this scene was filmed in any manner other than pure professionalism by Baldoni is unequivocally countered with actual evidence,” the filing read. “Her allegation of sexual harassment is a documented and knowingly fabricated lie.”

Baldoni referenced Lively’s alleged “derogatory comments” about his appearance later in the lawsuit, claiming that he “has publicly expressed insecurities about and has discussed on an episode of his podcast, ‘Man Enough,’ exploring the topic of body dysmorphia.”

“Lively’s comment about Baldoni’s nose is also captured on camera,” the lawsuit read. “Baldoni, rather than write down a list of grievances against Lively, brushed it off and moved on with the scene.”

After the lawsuit, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, shared in a statement to Us, “This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”

The statement continued, “It is clear based on our own all out willingness to provide all complete text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence that was shared between the parties in real time, that this is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret. Blake Lively was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and knowingly misrepresented the truth.”

“Ms. Lively will never again be allowed to continue to exploit actual victims of real harassment solely for her personal reputation gain at the expense of those without power,” the statement read. “Let’s not forget, Ms. Lively and her team attempted to bulldoze reputations and livelihoods for heinously selfish reasons through their own dangerous manipulation of the media before even taking any actual legal action. We know the truth, and now the public does too. Justin and his team have nothing to hide, documents do not lie.”

Us reached out to Lively’s rep, defendant Sloane, for comment.

After rumors began swirling of a rift between Baldoni and Lively on the set of It Ends With Us, The New York Times broke the news that Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment. Baldoni denied all accusations against him made in the December 2024 lawsuit.

Baldoni, among 10 plaintiffs, fired back in a lawsuit days later and sued The New York Times $250 million for its coverage of Lively’s accusations. (A spokesperson for the The New York Times told Us at the time that the outlet is planning to “vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”)

Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni the same day in a New York federal court which mirrored her earlier claims that had been filed with the California Civil Rights Department.
