Justin Baldoni allegedly asked Blake Lively an outrageously invasive question about her 𝓈ℯ𝓍 life with her husband Ryan Reynolds.
Lively, 37, had accused her It Ends With Us co-star and director of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment and trying to ‘destroy’ her reputation in a legal complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department on Friday.
Among the many allegations made in the lawsuit, Lively claims Baldoni, 40, ‘personally added graphic content, including a scene in which Ms. Lively was to orgasm on camera’ without her knowledge or consent – after she had already signed on to the production.
He eventually agreed to remove the scenes, according to the lawsuit, but ‘made a last-ditch attempt to keep one in which the couple orgasm together on their wedding night, which he said was important to him because he and his partner climax simultaneously during intercourse.’
‘Mr. Baldoni then intrusively asked Ms. Lively whether she and her husband climax simultaneously during intercourse, which Ms. Lively found invasive and refused to discuss,’ the lawsuit claims.
Lively claims she even had to assert that no one should be talking about their 𝓈ℯ𝓍 lives, their genitalia or ‘personal times that physical consent was not given in 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual acts, as either the abuser or the abused.’
She made the demand at a January 4 meeting, in which she, Baldoni, and Jamey Heath, the Chief Executive Officer of Wayfarer and producer of the film, agreed to 30 different conditions – most of which were 𝓈ℯ𝓍-related.
The first request was ‘no more showing of nude videos or images of women, including the producer’s wife’ to Lively or her employees, according to the filing released by the New York Times.
Another jaw-dropping requirement was that people on set stop discussing Baldoni and Heath’s previous ‘pornography addiction’ and Lively’s ‘lack of pornography consumption.
Lively outlined 30 requirements, mainly of Baldoni, while filming the movie to protect her ‘physical and emotional safety.’
Among the demands was that there should be no ‘improvising’ kissing.
No additional 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual scenes outside of what Lively originally signed up for would be permitted, according to the filing.
Her complaint claims that Baldoni’s refusal to adhere by these rules has affected her, her husband, and her children’s well-being.
‘The emotional impact on Ms. Lively has been extreme, not only affecting her, but her family, including her husband and four children. There are days when she has struggled to get out of bed, and she frequently chooses not to venture outside in public,’ the lawsuit states.
