New Doc Accuses Lively of Smear Campaign Against Baldoni

A new documentary titled "It Ends With Justice" questions Blake Lively's narrative surrounding the "It Ends With Us" film production. The documentary presents interviews with crew members who reportedly did not witness the toxic conditions Lively described in her lawsuit against co-star Justin Baldoni. Filmmaker Andy Signore alleges that the controversy was an effort to damage Baldoni's reputation.

Signore's film includes testimony from set medic John and editor Jacqueline, who purportedly had personal experience with domestic violence. These individuals allegedly found differences in working styles rather than widespread misconduct. Despite Lively's claims of retaliation after raising concerns, the actors settled their legal dispute in May 2026, shortly before their trial was scheduled to begin.

Lively had accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation in December 2024. Baldoni denied these allegations and filed a $400 million countersuit, which was later dismissed by a federal judge. The judge also dismissed 10 of Lively's 13 claims before the settlement. Lively later sought over $8 million in attorneys' fees.
