It Ends With Us’ Isabela Ferrer Breaks Silence with First Appearance Since Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively Legal Drama!

Isabela Ferrer—who played a younger version of Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us character—made her first public appearance since accusing director Justin Baldoni of bullying.

Isabela Ferrer isn’t going to let legal drama put an end to the good times.

Nearly one month after accusing her It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni of bullying her amid his legal battle against costar Blake Lively, the 24-year-old stepped out to the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Spring 2026 runway show on Sept. 24.

For the New York Fashion Week event, Ferrer wore a black corduroy jumpsuit from the brand, which she paired with dark square-toe boots and a matching handbag.

The outing was Ferrer’s first public appearance since submitting her own legal filing against Baldoni, alleging that the actor and his associates acted “inappropriately” toward her after she received a subpoena from Lively’s lawyers as part of the legal dispute.

In court documents obtained by E! News in August, Ferrer’s attorneys said the actress reached out to Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios production company to have her legal fees covered in accordance with her movie contract. However, she was allegedly hit back with a response from the company asking her to “relinquish control of her response to the Lively subpoena to Wayfarer” before being granted compensation.

“From that point forward, Baldoni has tried to manipulate, threaten, control and otherwise act inappropriately towards Ms. Ferrer,” her lawyers alleged in court documents, accusing Baldoni of filing a motion against Ferrer to “bully” her after she refused to agree with his team’s terms.

“While Ms. Ferrer will faithfully comply with her legal obligations under any subpoena, summons or court order,” her filing read, “she obviously will not be intimidated or extorted by any party to otherwise participate in the proceedings.”

In response, Baldoni’s team submitted their own filing to the court, accusing Ferrer of making an “inappropriate attack” on the 41-year-old and his counsel.

Baldoni’s lawyers requested that “given the circumstances,” they are “willing to stipulate that none of the parties will use any communication to, from or concerning Ms. Ferrer, or any testimony from her, in any manner.”

Lively, who is suing Baldoni for sexual harassment, has not publicly commented on Ferrer’s allegations against the filmmaker. However, the Gossip Girl alum did forge a close bond with Ferrer during the making of It Ends With Us, even lending out some of her personal wardrobe pieces for the Colleen Hoover adaptation’s red carpet premiere.

“She did style me, this is all her doing,” Ferrer told E! News in August 2024. “I have an Oscar De La Renta dress on in classic Blake fashion. I’m wearing her shoes, these are her Louboutin shoes.”

Calling Lively her “mentor” and an “absolute angel,” she added at the time, “I don’t know where I’d be without her.”

Dec. 20, 2024: Blake Lively Files CRD Complaint Against Justin Baldoni and His Wayfarer Associates

Four months after the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover‘s book It Ends With Us debuted in theaters, Blake Lively filed a California Civil Rights Department (CRD) complaint against her costar Justin Baldoni and his associates on Dec. 20, according to The New York Times.

In the complaint obtained by E! News, Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios (Wayfarer), its CEO Jamey Heath, its cofounder Steve Sarowitz, Baldoni’s publicist Jennifer Abel, her company RWA Communications, crisis communications specialist Melissa Nathan, her company The Agency Group PR LLC (TAG), contractor Jed Wallace and his company Street Relations Inc. were listed as defendants.

Lively alleged in her complaint that Baldoni and his Wayfarer associates “embarked on a sophisticated press and digital plan in retaliation” for her voicing her concerns about purported misconduct on set—with her saying she and other cast and crew members “experienced invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional and sexually inappropriate behavior” by Baldoni and Heath.

The actress added the alleged campaign against her caused “substantial harm” to her personally and professionally.

The accusations listed in the complaint include sexual harassment; retaliation; failure to investigate, prevent and/or remedy harassment; aiding and abetting harassment and retaliation; breach of contract; intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligence; false light invasion of privacy and interference with prospective economic advantage.
