Has anyone been keeping up with this drama involving Blake Lively?

Last summer she took a lot of heat for some controversial statements she made during the press tour of the film "It Ends with Us." She later sued the film's director and fellow co-star Justin Baldoni, for sexual harassment, blaming the trauma from Baldoni's on-set antics for her behavior during the film's publicity tour. She took out a full article in the New York Times, dropping text messages and other pieces of evidence to prove that she had been a victim of unwanted sexual advances.

But then Baldoni counter-sued for defamation and released those same text messages with context behind them. When you read the conversations in full, it not only appears totally harmless but also very much consensual. Now the rumor mill is claiming that Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, is behind the smear campaign against Baldoni. The drama began when Reynolds and Lively attempted to wrest creative control of the film from him during production and post-production. Now it appears that Blake Lively is about to become the Amber Heard of 2025.
