Justin Baldoni, 41, is reportedly facing serious threats amidst his ongoing legal dispute with Blake Lively, 37. The conflict, which began after filming their movie "It Ends With Us," has escalated beyond the courtroom. A source from Baldoni's PR team told Daily Mail that he and some team members have received death threats.
The PR representative stated, "I had to tell my child's school that we have received death threats. We even had to build a gate for security because private information from the court files essentially leaked." Apparently, private addresses included in court documents were leaked, causing safety concerns for Baldoni and his team.
Baldoni's representatives allege that Lively's side is partially responsible for the leak. "Private home addresses were leaked from the court files, which was driven by Lively's side. This was shared on social media, and there are people threatening to harm anyone who works for the company." Many of the threats reportedly contain antisemitic content and are deeply offensive.
The feud between Lively and Baldoni started after the completion of "It Ends With Us." Lively initially accused Baldoni of degrading and personally insulting her on set, including through body shaming. She later expanded the accusations to include harassment, which Baldoni denies. Critics have also emerged, accusing Lively of abusing her power as a producer and series star during filming.
One crew member told "60 Minutes," "I feel like Blake smelled his kindness, mistook it for weakness, and tried to take advantage and seize power." The legal battle continues as both sides present their cases.
