  • Plenty:

    On Saturday, more than four months after the film’s release, the New York Times published an 80-page complaint filed in California that made a range of allegations against Baldoni – including sexual harassment on set and a co-ordinated PR campaign to damage Lively’s reputation afterwards.

    At one point during production, the complaint alleges, things were so bad that a meeting was held to address the actress’s claims of a hostile work environment, which Reynolds also attended. One demand was that there be “no more showing nude videos or images of women to Lively, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction’, and no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Lively”.

    Other allegations made in the complaint include Baldoni and the film’s lead producer, Jamey Heath, repeatedly violating physical boundaries and making sexual or inappropriate comments to Lively; Baldoni improvising unwanted kissing during acting scenes; Heath showing Lively a video of his wife naked; and both men entering her trailer uninvited while she was in a state of undress.
