Lights, Camera, Lawsuit: The Clash Between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (Pt. 1)

Host Michele Locke — a seasoned divorce attorney and former family court judge — dives into the explosive drama behind the film adaptation of It Ends with Us, Colleen Hoover’s hit novel. What started as a highly anticipated film quickly turned into a public legal battle with allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, and on-set misconduct, sparking a fierce feud between stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Tensions boiled over as Blake filed a formal complaint, revealing shocking boundary violations and improvised intimate scenes. Justin and the producers hired a crisis team to control the fallout, showing just how high the stakes were. Joined by executive producer and victim advocate Jake Deptula, they unpack the harassment claims, smear campaigns, and power struggles behind the scenes. From Hollywood PR wars to courthouse drama, this series exposes the messy reality of making It Ends with Us — with more to come in Part 2.
