Blake Lively has unleashed a new salvo in her ongoing legal back-and-forth with Justin Baldoni by claiming that she was not the only woman he made uncomfortable on the set of It Ends With Us.
An amended version of her complaint filed late on Tuesday in New York federal court alleges that she has corroboration of her original claims, and a spokesperson for the 37-year old actress claims that ‘other women confided in Blake about their discomfort,’ according to People.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Baldoni and Lively for comment.
Lively previously filed a sexual harassment lawsuit in December against Baldoni, who costarred in and directed her hit romantic drama It Ends With Us.
Baldoni followed up by launching a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, her publicist and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
He also filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for its reporting on Lively’s allegations.

A recently filed amended version of her complaint alleges that she has corroboration of her original claims, and a spokesperson for the actress claims ‘other women confided in Blake about their discomfort,’ according to People; Baldoni is pictured December 4 in LA
According to Lively’s attorneys Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, the amended complaint ‘provides significant additional evidence and corroboration of her original claims.’
They add that it ‘includes previously undisclosed communications’ Lively had with Sony Pictures, Baldoni’s production company Wayfarer Studios and ‘numerous other witnesses.’
The new version of the complaint reportedly includes an added defamation claim against Baldoni that was not part of the initial document, which was filed on New Year’s Eve.
According to Hudson and Gottlieb, Lively is suing for defamation ‘based on the repeated false statements the defendants have made about Ms. Lively since she filed her original complaint…’
She has also expanded her complaint to add Jed Wallace and his Texas-based crisis PR firm Street Relations, Inc., as a defendant.
Wallace, who has denied playing any part in a smear campaign against the Gossip Girl star, previously filed a $7 million lawsuit against her in response to Lively’s allegation in her initial complaint that his firm ‘weaponized a digital army’ against her on behalf of Baldoni.
She had requested Wallace be deposed in her initial complaint, though he revealed in his subsequent lawsuit earlier this month that the request had been rescinded.
Lively’s new filing appears to claim that others on the set of It Ends With Us can corroborate her claims.

Lively’s revised complaint adds a defamation claim against Baldoni for ‘repeated false statements … about Ms. Lively since she filed her original complaint…’ according to her attorneys; Baldoni and Lively seen on It Ends With Us set in New Jersey in January 2024
It claims Baldoni’s ‘false narrative crumbles’ because Lively ‘was not alone in complaining about Mr. Baldoni…’ and that she ‘raised her concerns contemporaneously as they arose,’ instead of waiting until shortly before the film was released; still from It Ends With Us
It claims that Baldoni and his co-defendants’ ‘false narrative crumbles under the indisputable truth’ that the actress ‘was not alone in complaining about Mr. Baldoni…’
The filing also tries to establish that she ‘raised her concerns contemporaneously as they arose in 2023, not in connection with some imagined power play for control of the film in 2024.’
According to a spokesperson for Lively, the amended filing ‘details the corroboration that backs up Blake’s original sexual harassment and retaliation concerns.’
They allege that the document proves that ‘other women confided in Blake about their discomfort and fear of coming forward, and their concern about the current public vitriol.’
Despite the escalating legal battle between the two parties, there’s no end in sight for Lively or Baldoni.
Last month, a judge scheduled a trial date for their lawsuits in March of 2026, and both parties have already decided to skip any attempt at mediation.
Lively and Reynolds recently made light of the situation when they returned to the spotlight at the SNL50 anniversary special on Sunday.
In one segment featuring questions from the star-studded audience, Reynolds alluded to the dueling lawsuits.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler set off the exchange by calling on it and asking, ‘How’s it going?’
‘Great. Why, what have you heard?’ the Deadpool star responded nervously while clasping his hands together.
Blake then looked up at him with a painfully over-the-top expression of concern, before relaxing into her normal smile
