Truth about Blake’s sex scenes with Justin Baldoni: Handwritten notes from an intimacy co-ordinator meeting – and a damning claim that Lively couldn’t separate acting from real life

The list of Blake Lively’s grievances against Justin Baldoni is a long one, but the most damning of all is her claim that he sexually harassed her while filming It Ends With Us with unwanted kissing, talking about his sex life and trying to insert gratuitous raunchy scenes into the script.

After Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in January, he quickly filed a $400million countersuit against Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist Leslie Sloane over claims of civil extortion, defamation and invasion of privacy and has launched a website, thelawsuitinfo.com, outlining his version of events.

Amongst the pages of documents, emails and text messages is an intriguing set of handwritten notes made by Baldoni during his meeting with the film’s intimacy co-ordinator which may well prove to be the key to the whole case.

Lively has painted a picture whereby there was no intimacy co-ordinator involved in the production until she demanded one; Baldoni introduced unwanted kissing in intimate scenes, and he spoke to her about his own sex life.

However, his timeline appears to show that there was in fact an intimacy co-ordinator engaged from the outset, who Lively declined to meet until filming began. This ultimately resulted in Baldoni, who was also the director, having to convey the intimacy co-ordinator’s notes to Lively himself.

Her depiction of his adding graphic scenes to the film, Baldoni insists, was simply him filling her in on what had been discussed, such as her character ‘orgasming’ – and, damningly, he claims that Lively seemed unable to discern between a professional conversation about acting out sex scenes and being sexually harassed.
