As Blake Lively<\/a> and Justin Baldoni<\/a>\u2019s legal troubles, here\u2019s a look at their kissing scandal. As fans must already know, the actor has already mentioned in his filing that kissing his It Ends with Us co-star is \u201cthe last thing I want to do.\u201d But fans pointed out that soon after that, Leslie Sloan and Lively apparently pulled off a hilarious gig.<\/p>\n

As shared by @thebushbirds on X<\/a>, after Baldoni made that comment about Lively, Sloan and the Gossip Girl actress \u201cput a story out about Blake kissing people\u201d (check out the story on Looper<\/a>, published June 19, 2024, and this story from Looper<\/a>, published November 17, 2025).<\/p>\n

Justin Baldoni said “the last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.” So Leslie Sloan and Blake Lively put a story out about Blake kissing people. \ud83d\ude02 pic.twitter.com\/oN8RvhC0w2<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who might not know, in Exhibit 81 of his filing, Baldoni specifically mentioned a note about \u201cintimacy\u201d, in which he claimed that Lively reportedly changed the direction of yet another scene in It Ends with Us. In this, he wrote, in one line (see the full document here<\/a>):<\/p>\n

She has removed kissing \u2013 which is fine in the end, the last thing I want to do is kiss this woman.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he also went on to mention how Lively\u2019s taking hold of this scene brought him to the point where he was \u201cnot sure what to do on this scene.\u201d But while that\u2019s that, the actress is currently facing backlash from fans for this reported move of hers.<\/p>\n

Ever since news came out about her kissing scandal amidst her ongoing legal drama with Justin Baldoni, fans haven\u2019t really been stepping back from criticizing Blake Lively for reportedly pulling off such a move after ostensibly getting offended about Baldoni\u2019s comment<\/a> about kissing her.<\/p>\n

To say the least, fans are having the time of their lives as they troll the actress over this embarrassing stunt. All in all, taking to X, here\u2019s what they have to say:<\/p>\n

Ps a little bit funny they are reminding people Lively kissed her future but then married husband much like other costars? When stupid people are so busy nuh-uhing, they embarrass themselves in other more meaningful ways\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

If you felt you were sexually harassed, and retaliated against for complaining about it, would you want to issue media about yourself kissing costars and being desirable? Personally, I would not. But I also wouldn\u2019t improving kissing someone whom I believed SH\u2019d me.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s not too bright and continues to sabotage her fading \u201ccareer.\u201d SMH.<\/p>\n

How desperate is she!!! What\u2019s next? How\u2019s she planning to defend her whole \u2018naked on a hospital bed\u2019 stunt? Are they going to publish an article next about how floral she is in that region? pic.twitter.com\/UGIT3MPxsk<\/a><\/p>\n

come to think of it, Blake\u2019s love interest from the age of Adelaide has some semblance to Justin with the facial hair. methinks, insecure girlie\u2019s got a type \ud83e\udd2d ego got bruised cuz Justin didn\u2019t fall for her advances \ud83e\udd74 she\u2019s high key embarrassing!<\/p>\n

Needless to say, all these fan reactions are more than enough to emphasize that Lively pretty much dug her own grave by doing something like reportedly releasing an article about what her co-stars have to say about kissing her, even more so while she\u2019s still battling a s*xual harassment case with Baldoni!<\/p>\n

Justin Baldoni Also Explicitly Said Blake Lively Will Use Any Small Issue \u201cAgainst Him\u201d<\/p>\n

Apart from his confessing that he wasn\u2019t keen on kissing Blake Lively onscreen or offscreen, Justin Baldoni also revealed<\/a> in his filing in exhibit 81 that the actress might use any small issue \u201cagainst him.\u201d The filing stated,\u00a0<\/p>\n

The risk of something innocuous\u2026 could and would very likely be used against me (as it already has). By now we all know what she is capable of.<\/p>\n

While that implies a hostile working environment, there\u2019s more to this story. This includes Baldoni mentioning that \u201cEveryone knows how I feel\u2026 how angry I am that Blake has taken over our film and somehow rewrote a movie we spent years developing, writing and funding. So yes, I am furious,\u201d and also that \u201cCreativity is impossible in an environment shrouded in fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Needless to say, that says a lot about the environment that Baldoni and the rest of the cast and crew had to work in while bringing Colleen Hoover\u2019s It Ends with Us to life. And if all these claims are true, then Lively might not have that strong a chance of winning<\/a> her trial against Baldoni, which is currently scheduled for March 2026.<\/p>\n
