Justin Baldoni claimed in a new lawsuit that Blake Lively made jokes about his physical appearance while they were filming “It Ends With Us.”
According to the $400 million suit obtained by Page Six Thursday, the “Jane the Virgin” alum alleged that Lively “continued to break character” during a scene and started to “speak as herself rather than as Lily, which was extremely confusing for Baldoni.”
“Lively apologized for the smell of her spray tan and body makeup. Baldoni responded, ‘It smells good,’ and continued acting, slow dancing as he believed his character would with his partner, which requires some amount of physical touching,” the docs read.
“Lively took them out of character again and began to joke about Baldoni’s nose, which he laughed off and joked in turn, even as Lively joked that he should get plastic surgery.”
The lawsuit also included a footnote that stated that the “Gossip Girl” actress “alleges Baldoni inappropriately commented on her physical appearance. It was the other way around,” referring to Lively’s December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni.
In the lawsuit, Baldoni claimed he’s “publicly expressed insecurities about and has discussed on an episode of his podcast, ‘Man Enough,’ exploring the topic of body dysmorphia.”
The suit also alleges that Lively’s comments about Baldoni’s nose were “captured on camera.”
Page Six has reached out to Lively’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
On Thursday, Baldoni filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane.
The “Five Feet Apart” director, 40, accused Lively of using her BFF Taylor Swift to assert control over the production of “It Ends With Us,” which was released in August 2024.
Baldoni also shot down the sexual harassment claims Lively made in her respective suit.
The mom of four, 37, alleged in her lawsuit that there had to be an “all-hands” meeting — which included the presence of Reynolds, 48 — about Baldoni’s alleged inappropriate behavior.
The director was allegedly warned to no longer show “nude videos or images of women” to Lively and to stop mentioning his past “porn addiction” and sexual conquests.
Lively also accused Baldoni of engaging in “social manipulation” to “destroy” her reputation.
Last month, Baldoni filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times, claiming the newspaper “cherry-picked and altered communications” without providing “necessary context” in their article about Lively’s sexual harassment allegations.
