Leaked clip sheds new light on Blake Lively’s claims against Justin Baldoni

In a case full of allegations and counterclaims, this was one of the most shocking allegations Blake LivelyThat’s what we claim Justin Baldoni sexually harassed her on the set of “It Ends with Us.”

According to Lively’s civil rights complaint, Baldoni allegedly dragged his lips down her neck during a romantic dance scene and told her, “It smells so good.” The 37-year-old claimed that no one overheard the comment because of the silence of the scene and the microphones be switched off.

However, a new, unedited clip has emerged whose audio contradicts Blake Lively’s claims and paints a very different picture of the It Ends with Us interaction.

The raw material, provided to Daily Mail by Baldoni’s production company Wayfarer and his attorney Bryan Freedman, captures several shots of the dance scene. Not only does the video contain audio, but it also shows an open, friendly dynamic between Baldoni and Lively during filming.

The conversation in question occurs around the seven-minute mark and provides context that calls Lively’s claims into question.

In the footage, Baldoni asks, “Can I get a beard from you?” to which Lively jokingly replies, “I’ll probably give you a spray tan.”

Baldoni replies, “It smells good,” causing both actors to laugh. Lively clarifies that the scent comes from her body makeup while maintaining the lighthearted tone.

While the montage shows Baldoni nuzzling Lively’s neck as part of the scripted scene, their conversation turns to professional details like lighting, choreography and light banter about their spouses.

The video shows Lively and Baldoni joking about various topics, including the size of Baldoni’s nose and how they spend time with their significant others.

In one exchange, Baldoni mentions that he and his wife Emily enjoy staring at each other in silence, to which Lively jokes, “I think you’d find it terrifying.” They also discuss whether it’s more romantic to talk during the scene or not to kiss, with Lively opting for dialogue rather than physical affection.

Ironically, during a conversation, Lively remarks, “You’ll never find out what we’re really talking about,” referring to their off-script discussions during filming.

As the extras erupt in applause, Baldoni shouts “Cut!” and informs Lively that they have captured enough footage for a 17-minute role. In the final shot, highlighting her feet, Baldoni is heard telling Lively, “I’ll let you direct this movie,” after which she humorously insists that her heels stay in the frame “for the sparkle.”

This newly surfaced footage comes just days after Baldoni filed his lawsuit and just weeks after allegations surfaced that Lively served legal documents on him and his team during the evacuation Wildfires in Los Angeles.

Baldoni’s lawsuit alleges that Lively delayed reading the novel that inspired the film well into production and accuses her of launching a calculated negative publicity campaign with the help of her publicist Leslie Sloane and the author New York Times.

One particularly striking claim in the lawsuit describes that Lively allegedly tried to intimidate Baldoni by referring to her husband. Ryan Reynoldsand close friend Taylor Swift. According to the filing, Lively compared herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi and stated, “I have a lot of dragons.”

The actress and her team are also accused Alteration of text messages between Baldoni’s publicists to make her appear incriminating, suggesting that they would stage a smear campaign against her. This reportedly led to both publicists facing significant backlash on social media after publishing the manipulated news.

The release of the footage is the latest chapter in a heated legal battle.

In response, Baldoni has filed lawsuits against both Just for defamation and Lively along with her husband Ryan Reynolds for $400 million, accusing them of using their celebrity influence to undermine his career.

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s attorney, emphasized his client’s transparency, stating, “Justin has nothing to hide.” Freedman argues that the footage discredits Lively’s claims and demonstrates a professional relationship between the actors.

The It Ends with Us controversy has garnered widespread attention as fans and legal experts closely analyze the evolving case. While Lively insists that the footage was missing audio, the newly surfaced video reveals otherwise, offering a full record of their interactions during filming.
