Jenny Slate allegedly filed HR complaint while filming ‘It Ends With Us’ due to ‘uncomfortable’ interaction: report

Jenny Slate reportedly filed an HR complaint while filming “It Ends With Us” following an allegedly “uncomfortable” interaction with Wayfarer Studios President Jamey Heath.

Just days after Blake Lively claimed in an amended lawsuit that multiple women felt uncomfortable on the set, including herself, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Friday that Slate was allegedly one of them.

According to the outlet, Slate filed a complaint to the film’s distributor, Sony, following a conversation with Heath about the apartment she had rented in New York City while filming “It Ends With Us.” Per THR, Slate’s complaint was referenced in previous court documents but with her name redacted.

The stand-up comedian — who shares daughter Ida, 4, with husband Ben Shattuck — allegedly told Heath she wasn’t happy with the pad she had rented. However, she said moving wasn’t an option due to the hefty $15,000 security deposit she had just dropped.

Although Heath allegedly told Slate that Wayfarer would reimburse her so she could find a better place, he allegedly did so using language that made her uncomfortable.

According to the outlet’s sources, the lead producer of the movie focused intensely on her role as a mom and the sanctity of motherhood.

Reps for Slate, Heath and Sony did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Earlier this week, Lively filed an amended lawsuit where she claimed she “was not alone in complaining” about her co-star and the film’s director, Justin Baldoni, while filming the August 2024 movie. She alleged that other women were willing to testify.

The court document included a May 2023 message from Lively, 37, to a mutual friend of Baldoni, 41, and Heath. There is no indication whether Slate was one of the people on the receiving end of Lively’s texts.

“It’s like HR nuts today. The both of them,” Lively wrote in one of her texts at the time, per screenshots. “I wasn’t expecting that turn. I mean it’s been present but today I came home and cried.”

In another text, Lively called Baldoni and Heath “creeps” before adding, “Like keep your hormones to yourselves. This is not mine. I don’t want it. I don’t want you [sic] gaze or words or tongue or videos of your naked wife. Yeah. It’s shocking. Clowns.”

Another female cast member, whose name was not identified in the docs, allegedly filed the complaint within three days of Lively.

At the time, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said Lively’s amended lawsuit “is filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims.”

“Since documents do not lie and people do, the upcoming depositions of those who initially supported Ms. Lively’s false claims and those who are witnesses to her own behavior will be enlightening,” he said in a statement to Page Six.

“What is truly uncomfortable here is Ms. Lively’s lack of actual evidence.”

Lively’s initial lawsuit against Baldoni came in December 2024 amid rumors that the two co-stars were feuding over the movie’s direction.

In her official complaint, the “Gossip Girl” alum claimed Baldoni made her uncomfortable and sexually harassed her while they were filming — allegations which he has vehemently denied.

The “Jane the Virgin” alum then sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion. He also took legal action against the New York Times for their coverage of Lively’s sexual harassment complaint.

Amid the legal drama, Slate was one of Lively’s co-stars who publicly supported her.

“As Blake Lively’s castmate and friend, I voice my support as she takes action against those reported to have planned and carried out an attack on her reputation,” she told Today in December 2024. “Blake is a leader, loyal friend and a trusted source of emotional support for me and so many who know and love her.”

Slate referred to “the attack on Blake” as “terribly dark, disturbing and wholly threatening,” adding, “I commend my friend, I admire her bravery and I stand by her side.”

Lively and Baldoni are set to go to trial in March 2026.
