Blake Lively is ready for her legal battle with Justin Baldoni to end!
As Perezcious readers know, the It Ends With Us co-stars have been embroiled in a nasty public feud for months. Things escalated when Blake accused the filmmaker of sexually harassing her on set and launching a smear campaign in retaliation to destroy her reputation when she spoke up. Meanwhile, Justin shut down the claims and accused Blake of being the one to orchestrate a smear campaign against him. He then sued the actress, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane, for civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy, and more.
It’s a huge mess! The constant back and forth is also a lot to handle, even for a power couple like Blake and Ryan. Now we have some insight into how they are coping amid the massive dispute! When it comes to Blake? She seems to be struggling the most through this! A source told Us Weekly on Monday:
“Blake is very stressed, upset, and just wants all of this to be done.”

Ummm. Does it sound like the Gossip Girl alum is beginning to regret going through all this? Can you blame her if so? Before the lawsuits, her rep had already taken a hit over the summer after all her past interviews showed her displaying some pretty rude behavior. She basically earned the title of a mean girl in Hollywood by that point! And the opinions from the public about her haven’t changed much as the feud drags on! In fact, as more and more receipts drop, many are sticking with Team Justin — or even changing sides! Yikes! It’s just not looking good for Lively right now!
The litigation and public criticism are already stressful enough, but add on that Blake is also most likely worrying about what her career may look like after all this we see why she’s ready for the fight “to be done!” Perhaps she even wishes she never opened up this can of worms…
Ryan, on the other hand, is staying strong. The insider noted that the Deadpool star is “more confident that the truth will prevail in court.” While Blake has been worrying about this whole ordeal, the source added that he “has been consoling” her. And just like Justin, the pair took their four children, James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, on a “family beach vacation” to take a break from their ongoing legal drama.
They may not have had as much of a relaxing trip due to everything that’s gone down with the bombshell website that went live, the judge’s denial of their gag order request, and more over the past few days! Reactions? Let us know in the comments below!
