Blake Lively appeared nervous in a resurfaced interview clip where she was asked about her chemistry with Justin Baldoni on the set of “It Ends With Us,” and how she was “sometimes the intimacy coordinator” in certain scenes they shared together.

It comes after a judge dismissed most of the actress’s claims against her former co-star, including the sexual harassment charges she leveled against him.

Sources say Blake Lively plans to fight till the end, but there are concerns that the aftermath of the case may negatively impact her Hollywood career.

Blake Lively Was Asked To Weigh In On How She Acted As An Intimacy Coordinator

An unearthed interview clip has seemingly revealed the awkward moment Blake Lively got visibly nervous and uncomfortable when she was asked about her on-screen bond with Justin Baldoni.

The former co-stars have been at loggerheads since 2024, when the 38-year-old actress filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him and also accused him of launching a smear campaign to tarnish her image.

In the clip, Lively sat down beside “It Ends With Us” creator Colleen Hoover and co-star Brandon Sklenar, and was asked to weigh in on her chemistry with Baldoni and how she seemed to have been the coordinator of some of their intimate scenes.

“Talk to me about how sometimes you were even the intimacy coordinator in some of those sexier scenes,” an Access Hollywood journalist asked.

“That shouldn’t be happening, by the way, I just want to be clear,” Lively replied, per the Daily Mail. “You should not be the intimacy coordinator, and you should definitely hire intimacy coordinators, which we did have, thank goodness.”

The Actress Looked ‘Flustered’ In The Resurfaced Clip Discussing Intimate Scenes With Justin Baldoni

After Lively’s response about hiring intimacy coordinators, the interviewer doubled down on her question, telling the actress she was teaching Justin “how to pull” her in.

However, the “Gossip Girl” star became “flustered” and asked the interviewer where she had seen such a scene play out, putting up an awkward laugh while toying with a strand of her hair.

The book author, Hoover, then added, “I actually saw that too, that was on Instagram yesterday.”

“Yeah, I mean, I think romance is really important,” Lively replied before going on a short rant about how, as actors, they’re supposed to tell the story well and make people “feel,” but they’re supposed to do it in a way that’s “safe and respectful for all.”

A Judge Dismissed Most Of Blake Lively’s Claims

Four months after the awkward interview, Lively accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her on the set of the film, which he denied and countersued her.

However, her case suffered a blow recently after Judge Lewis Liman dismissed 10 of the 13 charges she filed against him, including the sexual harassment charge.

The judge ruled that she could not pursue certain sexual harassment claims under federal law because she was technically an independent contractor rather than an employee during the production.

He also explained that the claims didn’t hold water under California laws because the filming where the actor allegedly sexually harassed her was carried out in New Jersey.

“None of these acts or occurrences provides the ‘substantial connection’ to California needed to sustain Lively’s sexual harassment claims,” Judge Liman wrote in his 152-page opinion.

That leaves the actress with three charges to pursue, namely breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation, which will all proceed to a civil trial in New York on 18 May.

The Actress Is Not Backing Down Despite Legal Setback

Meanwhile, sources close to the “A Simple Favor” actress have shared that she’s not backing down and plans to fight till the end.

A member of her legal team, Sigrid McCawley, recently stated that the case “has always been and will remain focused on the devastating retaliation and the extraordinary steps the defendants took to destroy” Lively’s reputation.

Explaining that Lively plans to testify during the trial and would continue “to shine a light on this vicious form of online retaliation,” McCawley noted that the reason the sexual harassment charge was dropped was “not because the defendants did nothing wrong,” but because of some technicality in the case.

Lively herself also spoke out on the loss, stating, “The last thing I wanted in my life was a lawsuit, but I brought this case because of the pervasive RETALIATION I faced, and continue to, for privately and professionally asking for a safe working environment for myself and others.”

She continued in her statement, “I hope the Court’s decision shows others that, as unfathomably painful as it is, you can speak up.”

“I will never stop doing my part in fighting to expose the systems and people who seek to harm, shame, silence, and retaliate against victims,” the actress added.

Justin Baldoni’s Lawyers Revealed They Are ‘Very Pleased’ With The Recent Development Amid Their Legal Battle With Blake Lively

Baldoni’s lawyers have also expressed their satisfaction with the recent development while restating their commitment to seeing the case through in court.

“We’re very pleased the court dismissed all sexual harassment claims and every claim brought against the individual defendants: Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, Melissa Nathan, and Jennifer Abel,” lawyers Alexandra Shapiro and Jonathan Bach told the Daily Mail.

“These were very serious allegations, and we are grateful to the court for its careful review of the facts, law, and voluminous evidence that was provided,” they continued.

The lawyers added, “What’s left is a significantly narrowed case, and we look forward to presenting our defense to the remaining claims in court.”
