Overview

• Blake Lively's lawsuit alleges unsafe and invasive conditions on the set of 'It Ends With Us,' including a controversial birth scene with Justin Baldoni's friend cast as the OB-GYN.
• Adam Mondschein, who played the OB-GYN in the scene, has publicly disputed Lively's claims, describing the set as professional and denying that she was 'nearly nude.'
• Mondschein stated that Lively never expressed discomfort during filming and defended his qualifications for the role, calling her insinuations offensive.
• Justin Baldoni has countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion, intensifying the legal dispute ahead of the March 2026 trial.
• The case has reignited discussions about industry standards for filming intimate scenes and the broader implications for on-set safety and actor protections.
