Actress Isabela Ferrer’s testimony has drawn new attention as newly unsealed court records are linked to the ongoing case. It ends with us legal surface.
Ferrer played the younger version of Blake Lively’s character in the film. His statements include pointed allegations about director and co-star Justin Baldoni, adding another layer to a matter that has already attracted intense public scrutiny.
The documents surfaced as part of Lively’s lawsuit, which she first filed in December 2024, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and alleging that he and others were involved in a “social manipulation” campaign intended to damage her reputation.
Baldoni has denied the claims, with his legal team previously calling the accusations “serious and categorically false.” His countersuit was later dismissed.
In her deposition, Ferrer was asked how many times she witnessed behavior on set that she believed crossed professional boundaries.
She answered clearly: “three times”.
One of the moments she described involved Baldoni allegedly calling one of her intimate scenes “hot”, a comment she said made her uncomfortable.
“It didn’t feel appropriate in a work environment, and given that it wasn’t necessarily a rating of any kind related to my acting,” Ferrer said.
“It was inappropriate and strange to hear about a scene, especially one that was supposed to be a PG scene about two young teenagers having a very innocent, intimate experience.”
She added that the scene was never intended to be depicted as such, explaining: “The way it was described in the script and sort of explained with the intimacy coordinator is that it shouldn’t have been.” [like this] or any term like that.
Ferrer also recalled another scene in which a suggested change made her uncomfortable.
She described a cooking moment where her co-star’s character gave her cookie dough, saying Baldoni suggested she lick it with the spoon in a way that she didn’t think fit the context.
“It didn’t make sense to me… considering she was 16 and in high school,” Ferrer said.
One of the most disturbing claims she shared involved a conversation later relayed to her by co-star Alex Neustaedter.
According to Ferrer, Baldoni pulled Neustaedter aside and encouraged him to “get to know her,” adding a wink to the remark.
Ferrer said she interpreted the gesture as inappropriate.
The unsealed testimony arrives alongside other recently released documents related to the case, including messages and depositions from other players.
Together, they continue to shape a legal dispute that remains unresolved and closely watched.
