The full list of 30 shocking demands Blake Lively gave Justin Baldoni to resume filming
She refused to continue until they were implemented
Blake Lively has accused her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni of “sexual harassment” and alleged that he started a campaign to “destroy” her reputation, the BBC reports.
She has outlined a series of allegations in a new lawsuit filed on Friday (December 20) alleging that Baldoni and the Wayfarer Studios CEO, Jamey Heath engaged in “inappropriate and unwelcome behavior towards Ms Lively and others on the set of It Ends With Us”.
Baldoni’s lawyer has denied the “shameful” allegations and claimed they are “categorically false”.
The legal document, which has been shared in full by the New York Times, claims that a meeting was held on January 4 to discuss the “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” on the film’s set.
During the meeting, Lively claims she set out a list of 30 demands relating to the pair’s alleged misconduct which were to be implemented before they could continue shooting the film – and they are all extremely shocking.
These were all her demands:
1. No more showing nude videos or images of women, including producer’s wife, to Blake Lively and/or her employees.
2. No more mention of Justin Baldoni or James Heath’s “pornography addiction” or Blake Lively’s lack of pornography consumption to Blake Lively or to other crew members.
3. No more discussions to Blake Lively and/or her employees about personal experiences with sex, including as it relates to spouses or others.
4. No more mention to Blake Lively or her employees of personal times that physical consent was not given in sexual acts, as either the abuser or the abused.
5. No more descriptions of their own genitalia to Blake Lively.

Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman has denied all the allegations set out in the lawsuit, saying: “It is shameful that Ms Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its representatives.”
He said her claims are “intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media” and accused Lively of making many threats, including “threatening to not show up” and “threatening to not promote the film” which would end up “ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met”.
