A newly revealed behind-the-scenes video from It ends with us appeared showing Justin Baldoni joking about the lack of harassment training.
The footage, filed as part of a Nov. 13 court filing, shows the 41-year-old actor and director using the word “sexy” for his co-star, Lively, before turning to the camera to make the remark.
“Sorry, I missed the sexual harassment training,” he remarked when Lively seemed unwelcoming to his word selection while praising his jumpsuit.
The video is evidence in Lively’s lawsuit accusing Baldoni, 38, of sexual harassment and workplace retaliation, which he denies.
In her complaint, Lively claims Wayfarer Studios failed to provide her with basic workplace protections, including anti-harassment policies or training. Baldoni later confirmed in a deposition that he underwent anti-harassment training during production.
They also say another woman on the production later raised her own concerns about “Mr. Baldoni making comments about her in sexual terms.”
Meanwhile, Baldoni’s lawyers claim the interaction was harmless, saying Lively was completely covered in a fleece suit and that Baldoni apologized at the time. They added that Lively herself used similar language on set.
“Lively herself set the tone for personal discussions on set, including what language was acceptable,” Baldoni’s lawyers claimed, noting that Lively “had no problem using the word ‘sexy’ herself, but apparently took note of the two times Baldoni said the word in her presence.”
Lively is seeking more than $160 million in damages. A $400 million countersuit filed by Baldoni was dismissed earlier this year. The case is expected to go to trial in March 2026.
