On December 21, The New York Times reported that Blake Lively filed a legal complaint against her It Ends With us costar and director, Justin Baldoni. She accused the Man Enough host of creating a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, and taking part in a smear campaign to ruin her reputation.

Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has since denied the allegations and called them “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt” in a statement to People. Meanwhile, Blake shared her own statement with The New York Times, writing: “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”

Blake’s complaint details how Justin and his team of PR experts organized the alleged smear campaign against her. (In August, he hired crisis PR manager Melissa Nathan, who also represented Johnny Depp during the Amber Heard trial.) Several celebrities, including Blake’s BFF, Taylor Swift, were reportedly involved in their strategy to take down Blake on the internet.

Here are all the celebrities involved in Blake Lively’s complaint about Justin Baldoni.

Celebs Involved In Blake Lively’s Complaint About Justin Baldoni

How Is Taylor Swift Involved In Blake Lively’s Complaint About Justin Baldoni?

Justin’s crisis management expert wrote in an August email: “We have seen the most innocuous issues turn giant due to socials or the hugest crises have no effect on social whatsoever. You just cannot tell at this stage. But, BL [Blake Lively] does have some of the same TS fanbase so we will be taking it extremely seriously.”

In another document seen in the complaint, Justin’s team writes that they “can also explore planting stories about the weaponization of feminism and how people like Taylor Swift, have been accused of utilizing these tactics to ‘bully’ into getting what they want.”

How Is Hailey Bieber Involved In Blake Lively’s Complaint About Justin Baldoni?

Justin sent a mean Twitter thread about Hailey to his publicist as an example of how he allegedly wanted to ruin Blake’s reputation on social media. The tweet reads, “Hailey Bieber’s history of bullying many women (not just Selena gomez) throughout the years: thread ~.” Justin wrote in his text: “This is what we would need.”

How Are Leighton Meester, Anna Kendrick, And Ben Affleck Involved in Blake Lively’s Complaint Against Justin Baldoni?

The crisis management team also discussed using Blake’s past rumored costar feuds against her. Per the complaint, they proposed that if Blake at all alluded to a negative experience working with Justin, they would aim to turn “speculation” to “another one of the many people she’s had issues working with” previously. Leighton, Anna, and Ben are all listed as examples. (Blake worked with Leighton on Gossip Girl, with Anna on A Simple Favor, and with Ben on The Town.)

How Is Scooter Braun Connected To Blake Lively’s Complaint About Justin Baldoni?

Of course the music industry villain is somehow involved in this. As you probably know, Scooter is the former manager of A-list pop stars like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, and he has very famous beef with Taylor Swift.

The crisis management company Justin hired, The Agency Group, is owned by Hybe America, which is part-owned by Scooter.
