Justin Baldoni hit with new harassment claims as SECOND accuser
Share this @internewscast.com

Justin Baldoni is under additional scrutiny as another individual has brought forward allegations of harassment, according to court documents acquired by The Daily Mail.

An individual, whose identity has been withheld, made a sworn statement through Blake Lively’s attorney. They claimed to have experienced ‘repeated, negative encounters with Mr. Baldoni and his team, including verbal attacks from Mr. Baldoni.’

The unnamed person further claimed that Baldoni was ‘not permitted on set during the majority of production as a result of those experiences.’

The individual also said they requested that Baldoni ‘not be involved in marketing or public relations efforts.’

A source told TMZ that the individual is ‘likely to testify against Justin in Lively’s trial.’

While this declaration does not relate to It Ends with Us, the individual mentioned they had previously worked with Baldoni on a separate project affiliated with his company, Wayfarer Studios.

The documents also mention Baldoni’s business partner, Wayfarer co-founder Steve Sarowitz, noting that Sarowitz’s assistant reached out to the accuser to schedule a meeting, although the purpose of the meeting was unspecified.

The documents, filed September 4, 2025, were submitted under penalty of perjury.

The Daily Mail has reached out for comment from Baldoni’s representatives, but have not heard back at this time. 

These new allegations emerged simultaneously with Lively’s filing of an extensive motion aiming to recover attorney’s fees, treble damages, and punitive damages from Baldoni’s company, Wayfarer Studios, and its leadership.

In the 30-page filing in federal court, Lively’s lawyers argue that Wayfarer’s defamation lawsuit against her was ‘baseless from the start’ and amounted to a retaliatory attack after she reported harassment and retaliation.

The motion accuses the company of attempting to ‘damage her credibility and conceal their own unlawful acts’ by flooding the public docket with redacted exhibits and character attacks.

Lively’s team argues the conduct fits squarely into what California Civil Code Section 47.1 was designed to prevent — retaliatory lawsuits against those who come forward with harassment complaints.

Under that statute, Lively is asking the court to impose severe penalties, including treble damages and punitive damages, and to recognize her as the ‘prevailing defendant’ entitled to recover legal fees.

According to newly filed court documents obtained by TMZ, the individual, whose name has been redacted, alleges they experienced 'repeated, negative interactions with Mr. Baldoni'

The motion also cites alleged threats made by Sarowitz, who was described as vowing to spend $100 million to ruin the lives of Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

According to the filing, Sarowitz allegedly declared at one point: ‘I will protect the studio like Israel protected itself from Hamas. There were 39,000 dead bodies. There will be two dead bodies when I’m done. Minimum. Not dead, but “you’re dead to me.” So that kind of dead. But dead to a lot of people’

Baldoni and Lively has been embroiled in a legal battle for months.

In December 2024, the actress sued Justin for allegedly sexually harassing her on set — claims he denied – before he and Wayfarer Studios fired back with a defamation suit against Blake, her publicist Leslie Sloane and husband Ryan Reynolds.

Justin also waged war with The New York Times, filing a $250million lawsuit against the publication over its bombshell tell-all on Lively’s sexual harassment claims against her former co-star on December 31, 2024.

The New York Times denied the allegations. 

On June 9, however, it was learned that a judge dismissed Baldoni’s lawsuit in a major setback for the actor’s hopes for a blockbuster win over the millionaire actress.

Judge Lewis J Liman dismissed Baldoni’s suit alleging defamation and extortion on the basis that all Lively’s allegations were made within privileged court papers.

The judge said in the order obtained by DailyMail.com: ‘The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her CRD complaint, which are privileged.

‘The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.

‘But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.

‘The Wayfarer Parties’ additional claims also fail. Accordingly, the Amended Complaint must be dismissed in its entirety.’

The judge ruled: ‘The Times reviewed the available evidence and reported, perhaps in a dramatized manner, what it believed to have happened. The Times had no obvious motive to favor Lively’s version of events.’

He dismissed the lawsuit against The New York Times as well.
