Blake Lively's 'It Ends With Us' Conduct Sparks Extortion Claims

Blake Lively's actions on the set of 'It Ends With Us' have sparked controversy. Justin Baldoni's former agent, Danny Greenberg, compared her behavior to extortion. Lively's spokesperson has since slammed Greenberg's comments.

Greenberg testified that Lively's actions felt like an 'effort to gain control of the film'. He believed she made threats regarding the August 2024 premiere. Later, Warren Zavala, Lively's talent agent, claimed she reported issues during post-production about her interaction with Baldoni. However, Greenberg clarified that he did not mean Lively was committing literal criminal extortion.

Legal issues between Lively and Baldoni began in December 2024 when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. Baldoni denied the allegations and countersued, but his lawsuit was dismissed earlier this year. Lively's case remains ongoing and is scheduled for March 2026.

The dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continues. While Lively's spokesperson has criticized Greenberg's comments, the actress's case against Baldoni proceeds towards its March 2026 court date.
