Baldoni Battles Lively: Explosive Lawsuit Over Unscripted Kiss

In a developing legal dispute, 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni is fighting back against Blake Lively's lawsuit. According to court filings, Baldoni alleges that Lively improvised a kiss during filming a now-deleted scene, contrary to her claims.

Lively's lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accused Baldoni of kissing her in scenes where no such intimacy was scripted. However, Baldoni has now submitted video evidence that he says shows Lively briefly kissing him, despite the moment not appearing in the final script.

Baldoni argues that the newly submitted footage and the extent of Lively's creative control on the production undermine the claims at the heart of her case. He is now asking the judge to dismiss Lively's lawsuit before the trial, scheduled for next year.

The legal battle between the two co-stars continues to unfold, with both sides presenting their versions of events. The court has not yet ruled on Baldoni's request to dismiss the lawsuit.
