Blake Lively says Justin Baldoni Made 2 Other Cast Members Feel “Uncomfortable”

Blake Lively says Justin Baldoni not only sexually harassed her, but he also made two other women feel “uncomfortable” on the set of “It Ends With Us,” and both are willing to testify against him at trial, according to a new court filing.
Last night, Blake filed an amended complaint to her original lawsuit against Baldoni, which lays out new allegations that paint Justin in a negative light.
In the 141-page document, Blake says she was “not alone” in complaining about Baldoni and raising concerns about his behavior during their work together on the movie produced by Sony and Wayfarer starting in 2023.
She says Baldoni “acknowledged the complaints in writing at the time,” which runs contrary to his current narrative that he has “invented.” Blake says Baldoni “knew that women other than Ms. Lively also were uncomfortable and had complained about his behavior.”

Blake also claims the women — who are unnamed in the amended complaint — gave Blake “permission to share the substance of their communications” and “they will testify and produce responsive documents in the discovery process.”
In addition, Blake claims a female cast member reported her concerns to Sony’s Ange Giannetti and a producer on the film after Lively had already aired her grievances to film executives.
Blake says the female cast member had strong reservations about coming forward, but she did anyway because she felt the movie was “suffering as a result of Mr. Baldoni’s behavior.” Giannetti, Blake says, “shared those concerns with Wayfarer.”
Blake says Baldoni wrote in an email to the female cast member that “he was aware of her concerns, and that adjustments would be made,” but Wayfarer “took no actions to investigate this reported conduct, nor did it implement any protections at that time.”
Blake says the same cast member even expressed concerns to her about the conditions on set, saying it was “really hard” to speak with Baldoni.
Blake goes on to say that another female cast member confided to her that she felt uneasy on set and her concerns were also documented in writing nearly a year before editing on the film had started.
What’s more, Blake’s attorneys Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, have added a defamation claim to the amended complaint, accusing Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, of making “inflammatory content to media outlets,” while “saying anything, whether true or false that will harm Ms. Lively’s credibility and intimidate others from speaking up on her behalf.”
In her original lawsuit, Blake accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and waging a campaign to destroy her reputation, as well as mental pain and anguish, severe emotional distress and lost wages.
Baldoni has filed his own lawsuits against Blake and others, claiming, among other things, that he was defamed and smeared in the press.
We’ve reached out to Baldoni for comment on Blake’s amended complaint … so far no word back.
Sydney Sweeney
Delaying Wedding With Jonathan Davino …
We’re Just Too Busy!!!
Published
Sydney Sweeney‘s not hearing wedding bells in her near future … ’cause she’s pushing back her nuptials, TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the actress was supposed to get married in May, but the wedding’s now on hiatus — and, it’s not totally clear why.
We reached out to people in the know … and, they confirmed to us the wedding was being pushed back because of the couple’s busy schedule.
As you may know … Sydney got engaged back in 2022 to the restaurateur after the two sparked dating rumors back in 2018.
They’ve been together ever since … surviving rumors that Glen Powell and Sydney were head over heels for one another on the set of “Anyone But You” — claims SS vehemently denied. Davino and Sydney were last spotted out together last month.
Worth noting … Sydney consistently seems too busy to plan this wedding — ’cause she told Entertainment Tonight back in December 2023 that she’s “so busy working! I’m a workaholic and I love it, I love it.”
APRIL 2024

Unclear what exactly is making Sydney push back the wedding … but, we do know she’s got a couple movies coming up including a Kim Novak/Sammy Davis Jr. biopic — so she could be shooting something soon.
In any case … Sydney and Jonathan aren’t rushing into anything — and their friends and family are just gonna have to wait for the big event.
Aeronautics CEO
Here’s How My Flying Car Works …
But, It’ll Take A Lot of $$$ to Pilot!!!

Jim Dukhovny makes his company’s flying car sound really simple, laying out exactly how it goes full “Back to the Future” mode during an interview on “TMZ Live” … but, interested parties are going to have to throw down serious cash to get one.
The founder of Alef Aeronautics — a tech company making a flying car — stopped by the show to talk about the startup’s new invention … and, he says the car has a pretty simple design despite doing something groundbreaking.
Dukhovny says all ya gotta do is take the engine out of the hood and put four smaller ones by the wheels … and, then put in a bunch of fancy tech like a motor, propellers, speed controller, and a whole lot more.
From there, it’s about putting the right kind of mesh on the vehicle to allow the wind to pass through … before adding a special material of the side to basically make wings — all contributing to getting those wheels up in the air.
Jim says the car has three modes … regular car, hovercraft mode — where the car goes into the air but doesn’t go much further — and, it has the biplane mode where it flies forward.
As for brass tacks … it sounds like this car won’t be in many people’s price ranges — but, it could be in the not so distant future. Watch the clip until the end to hear all about how much it’s gonna set people back.
Bottom line … “The Jetsons” were flying around in 2062 on the show — but, it sounds like Alef’s cars are coming much sooner than that!
J Lo
I’m Kinda Cowgirl Now!!!
Snags Compound With Barn, Corral
Published
Jennifer Lopez has gone country … well, L.A. country, because TMZ has learned she just closed on an amazing compound which has all the necessities to ride into the sunset!!!
Informed sources tell TMZ … J Lo bought a 2 1/2-acre compound in the Hidden Hills area of L.A. The main house is 10,046 square feet, and it comes with a barn, stables and a riding arena, and the obligatory guest house and pool. BTW … Hidden Hills is famous for horses, so cowgirl boots may be in order.
It also has city-slicker amenities, such as a theater, chef’s kitchen and a gym.
The asking price was $21 million, and although we don’t know exactly what she paid, we’re told she got a “great deal.”
The house has lots of celebrity history. Remember when Sly Stallone sold his Beverly Hills home to Adele and moved to Palm Beach? Well, Sly decided to come back to L.A. for a hot minute and bought the property J Lo now owns. He changed his mind and sold it to John Fogerty, who just sold it to Jen.
There’s still some unfinished business here. J Lo and now ex-hubby Ben Affleck have not yet sold their $61 million Bev Hills marital home.
