The article discusses the evolving relationship between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, as revealed by intimacy coordinator Mia Schachter in a documentary. Initially, Lively and Baldoni shared a bond filled with trust, evident through their text exchanges. However, after Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, claiming he improvised intimate scenes, a complex back-and-forth emerged. Baldoni's countersuit, disputing Lively's claims, includes allegations of her wanting to take creative control, showcasing tensions that escalated from friendship to a legal battle.
From reading their text messages, I do get the sense that, at one point, there was genuine affection between them and what felt like a friendship. At that moment, both seemed to share trust, before the issues arose that led to the legal feud.
Lively allegedly refused to meet the film's intimacy coordinator before production, which Baldoni claims in his $400 million countersuit. This refusal points to her trusts in him during filming.
His team seemed to be accusing Blake of trying to direct that scene and undermine his creative vision. I don't see that. I see an actress trying not to kiss him.
In Lively's lawsuit, she alleged Baldoni improvised kissing scenes, while he countersued by alleging she agreed to intimate scenes without consulting the intimacy coordinator first.
