This post contains discussion of sexual harassment.
The suit claims that Justin’s alleged behavior caused Blake “severe emotional distress,” and that the claims were previously addressed in a meeting during filming in which multiple people were in attendance — including Blake’s husband Ryan Reynolds.
During the meeting, Blake allegedly requested that Justin stop showing nude photos and videos of women to her, and that he stop telling her about his previous alleged “pornography addiction.”
Blake also allegedly asked for Justin to stop discussing “sexual conquests” on set, to not discuss her body or weight, to not mention her deceased father, and for “no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing by BL outside the scope of the script BL approved when signing onto the project.”
In the suit, Blake also reportedly references a “conflict” over the marketing angle behind It Ends With Us, and she alleges that Justin waged a “social manipulation” campaign to “destroy” her reputation.
In a statement to TMZ, Justin’s lawyer Bryan Freeman said Blake’s lawsuit was filed to “fix her negative reputation,” and that the allegations contained within are “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt.”
He also claims that Blake was “threatening to not showing up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release.”
BuzzFeed has reached out to Blake and Justin’s publicists for further comment — we’ll let you know if we hear anything back.
