Blake Lively is dedicated to making Christmas «extra special» for her four children, despite the ongoing legal action against Justin Baldoni (Exclusive Source).
As the holiday season approaches, Blake Lively is prioritizing time with her family.
Following the public revelation of her legal filing against Justin Baldoni, the 37-year-old actress is focusing on making Christmas memorable for her four children, a source shares.
«She’s concentrating on creating a special holiday for her kids,» the insider says, referring to Lively’s children—daughters James, Inez, and Betty, and son Olin—whom she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds.
In her legal complaint, Lively accuses Baldoni, who directed and starred with her in *It Ends with Us*, of sexual harassment during the film’s production.
Alleged misconduct includes showing explicit images and videos, probing into her personal sex life, and attempting to add intimate scenes to the movie that she had not agreed to.
The complaint also names lead producer Jamey Heath as involved in the misconduct.
The filing reveals that Lively, alongside Reynolds, met with the film’s producers to request changes in Baldoni’s behavior.
While Lively stated that Baldoni had agreed to implement protective measures, her complaint claims that the actor later enlisted crisis publicists to launch a retaliatory smear campaign against her, targeting her on social media and in the media.
Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, responded to the allegations, calling them “false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious with the goal of causing public harm.”
He further suggested that the complaint was an attempt by Lively to “repair her negative reputation.”
In her complaint, which precedes a potential discrimination lawsuit in California, Lively states that she has endured «grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety» as a result of Baldoni’s actions.
The document further outlines the profound emotional toll on Lively, noting that the impact has not only affected her, but also her family, including her husband and four children.
