"According to the source, the individual worked with Baldoni on a project that wasn't It Ends with Us and, from the sounds of it, didn't go well. In the redacted document, the individual "requested that he [Baldoni] not be involved" in said unnamed project's marketing or PR. They also cite a meeting with Steve Sarowitz, the co-founder and co-chairman of Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer Studios. The individual's accusations seem similar to those being bandied about between Lively and Baldoni."
"In her 2024 lawsuit, Lively alleged that Baldoni (including his associates like Wayfarer CEO Jamey Heath) had not only acted inappropriately during the production of It Ends With Us, but also participated in the orchestration of a smear campaign against her along with publicists, Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel. He, on the other hand, claimed that Lively deliberately excluded him from the film's press cycle."
An individual reported a prior collaboration with Baldoni on a project other than It Ends With Us and requested that Baldoni not be involved in that project's marketing or PR. The individual referenced a meeting with Wayfarer Studios co-founder and co-chairman Steve Sarowitz. Lively's 2024 lawsuit alleges Baldoni and associates acted inappropriately during production and helped orchestrate a smear campaign alongside publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel. Baldoni says Lively deliberately excluded him from the film's press cycle. Lively's team seeks treble and punitive damages and invokes California's Protecting Survivors from Weaponized Defamation Lawsuits Act while pursuing sanctions against opposing counsel.
