"Sometimes I can get lost in the same way that everybody gets lost," said Baldoni on the 'Gent's Talk Podcast' in November 2024

A few weeks later, Baldoni filed another lawsuit, this time for $400 million, naming Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. He alleged that the Hollywood couple attempted to take control of *It Ends With Us* and reshape its narrative to fit their own agenda.

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have attacked each other in court—and in the press—since filing competing lawsuits over treatment on the set of "It Ends With Us."

Baldoni, who also directed and starred in “It Ends With Us,” denied Lively’s allegations. In January, he filed a $400 million countersuit against the “Gossip Girl” star and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for alleged defamation and extortion.
