Lively alleges that Baldoni and his friend, producer Jamey Heath, insisted that she do the scene nude.<\/p>\n
Baldoni allegedly explained that his wife \u201cripped her clothes off\u201d when she gave birth to their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has really been a disturbing shoot, and I\u2019m one of many who feel this way, and Blake and I have both complained directly to Ange [production executive Andrea Giannetti] at Sony (and they agree w us btw),\u201d she wrote at one point, adding:<\/p>\n
\u201cJustin is truly a false ally and I\u2019m unwilling to do anything that promotes the image that he\u2019s crafting as a \u2018male feminist\u2019 \u2026 like \u2026 honestly I have no words to describe what a fraud he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI honestly have never ever encountered anything like this dude. He\u2019s the biggest clown and the most intense narcissist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Slate is also quoted as saying, \u201cJustin and Jamey freak me out.\u201d<\/p>\nJenny Slate attends the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on January 14, 2024 in Santa Monica, California.

No, things are beyond uncomfortable at this point.\u201d Hoover wrote back<\/p>\n
Commenting on today\u2019s revelations, Lively\u2019s attorney, Sigrid McCawley, had this to say:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn his TedTalk to promote his brand as an advocate for women, Justin Baldoni said we must \u2018listen to the women\u2019\u2026even if what they are saying is against you.\u2019 <\/p>\n
\u201cSee how he actually reacts in the bombshell new evidence released for the first time, which includes sworn testimony and contemporaneous messages from numerous women who actually worked with him,\u201d she remarked, adding:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe newly unsealed evidence shows the concerns of Ms. Lively and others were documented in real-time as early as Spring 2023, and Wayfarer understood them as \u2018sexual harassment\u2019 concerns. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe evidence also documents how Wayfarer refused to investigate, but instead attempted to \u2018bury\u2019 Ms. Lively and others who spoke up through retaliation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neither Lively nor Baldoni has publicly commented on today\u2019s revelations. She is suing Baldoni andhis associates for alleged sexual harassment and retaliation, seeking $161 million in damages<\/p>\n
