New Accusations Unfold: Justin Baldoni Faces Additional Harassment Claims in Blake Lively Trial

SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: Justin Baldoni's Reputation Takes a Beating as Another Accuser Comes Forward with Shocking Claims

The drama surrounding Justin Baldoni just got even juicier, folks! As if his reputation wasn't already tarnished enough by the bombshell allegations of harassment and retaliation against him, another individual has come forward with even more disturbing claims. According to court documents obtained exclusively by The Scholarly Note, this brave soul (who wishes to remain anonymous) alleges that they were subjected to "repeated, negative interactions" with Baldoni and his associates, including the actor himself!

In a sworn declaration filed by Blake Lively's lawyer, the accuser claims that they endured verbal abuse from none other than Justin Baldoni. The documents, filed on September 4, 2025, under penalty of perjury, detail how this individual was allegedly forced to deal with "negative interactions" on multiple occasions. But it gets even worse! The accuser claims that Baldoni's behavior was so unbearable that they were banned from the set for most of the production period!

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'

But wait, there's more! The accuser also alleges that they requested Justin not be involved in marketing or public relations efforts due to his alleged toxic behavior. Ouch! And if you thought that was the worst of it, think again! Sources close to the situation have revealed that this individual is "likely to testify against Justin" in Lively's upcoming trial.

Now, before we dive deeper into the drama, let's give a quick recap: Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni for allegedly harassing her on set last December. He responded with a defamation suit against Lively, her publicist Leslie Sloane, and husband Ryan Reynolds. But in a major blow to Justin's case, a judge dismissed his lawsuit in June, stating that all Lively's allegations were made within privileged court papers.

But back to the latest scandal... The accuser claims they previously collaborated with Baldoni on a project connected to Wayfarer Studios, his production company. And get this - they even received a call from Steve Sarowitz's assistant to arrange a meeting! Talk about awkward!

The filing also references Wayfarer co-founder Steve Sarowitz, who allegedly vowed to spend $100 million to ruin the lives of Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds. In a chilling statement obtained by The Scholarly Note, Sarowitz allegedly declared: "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."

Now, we know what you're thinking: "Is this just another case of Hollywood drama?" But sources close to the situation confirm that these allegations are all too real and extremely disturbing.

The accuser's claims have been backed up by Blake Lively's team, who argue in their latest motion that Wayfarer Studios' defamation lawsuit against her was nothing but a retaliatory attack after she reported harassment and retaliation. In a scathing 30-page filing, Lively's lawyers claim that the company attempted to "damage her credibility and conceal their own unlawful acts" by flooding the public docket with redacted exhibits and character attacks.

The motion also accuses Wayfarer of attempting to silence Lively by suing her for defamation after she came forward with harassment allegations. This is where things get juicy - according to California Civil Code Section 47.1, retaliatory lawsuits against those who come forward with harassment complaints are strictly forbidden! The accuser's claims fit squarely into this category, making it clear that Wayfarer was trying to silence Lively and ruin her reputation.

In the motion, Lively's lawyers argue that she is entitled to recover legal fees as the "prevailing defendant" in this case. They're also seeking treble damages and punitive damages against Wayfarer Studios and its executives.

It looks like Justin Baldoni's got some serious explaining to do...
