Shockwaves in Hollywood: Justin Baldoni Hit with Fresh Harassment Claims as Blake Lively Case Heats Up!

Justin Baldoni is facing new harassment claims amid his legal battle with Blake Lively.

According to court docs obtained by Page Six, a person — whose name has been redacted — filed legal documents Monday claiming they had “repeated, negative interactions with Mr. Baldoni and his associates, including verbal abuse by Mr. Baldoni.”

The accuser claimed Baldoni, 41, was not “permitted on set during the majority of production as a result of those experiences” and that they requested the director “not be involved in marketing or public relations efforts.”

A source told TMZ, which was first to report the news, that the accuser will likely testify against Lively’s sexual harassment trial against Baldoni, which is slated to begin in March 2026 in New York.

Page Six has reached out to reps for both Lively and Baldoni for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Last December, the “Gossip Girl” alum, 38, filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexually harassing her on the set of “It Ends With Us.” The dad of two has denied the claims.

In January, Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, alleging defamation, extortion and more.

In the docs, the “Jane the Virgin” alum shared texts from Lively, showing a discussion they had about her then-best friend Taylor Swift.

“I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better,” the “A Simple Favor” actress’ alleged text read.

“Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. [Smiley-face emoji] you will too, I can promise you.”

In May, the “Bad Blood” singer was issued a subpoena to appear in court as a witness in the actors’ ongoing legal feud.

Due to Swift being dragged into the drama, a source close to the pop star told People that her and Lively’s friendship “halted,” adding, “Taylor wants no part in this drama.”

In May, Baldoni dropped the “Cruel Summer” singer’s subpoena.

The following month, a judge dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, the “Deadpool” star and their publicist.

Baldoni also faced harassment claims from “It Ends With Us” actress Isabela Ferrer, who claimed the “Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity” author had been “harassing” her for information after she was subpoenaed in the Lively battle.
The “Clouds” director’s legal team hit back at Ferrer’s claims, saying they reached out to the 24-year-old actress’s attorneys “twice” to communicate regarding the subpoena but were allegedly “ignored.”
