Blake Lively accuses "It Ends with Us" co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment, smear campaign

Actress Blake Lively is suing her "It Ends with Us" co-star Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment.

For months, rumors swirled of an onset of discord between the two actors that appears to have culminated with a lawsuit by Lively in which she alleges Baldoni – who was also the film's director – caused her "severe emotional distress."

The complaint, which was obtained by CBS News, names Baldoni, the studio behind "It Ends With Us" and Baldoni's publicists among the defendants. The New York Times first reported the complaint, which was filed Friday with the California Civil Rights Department.
