“Every frame of the released footage confirms, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in paragraph 48 of her complaint.”
“The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, running his thumb over her lip, caressing her and telling her how good she smells. and talk to her without character.’
Her team also added that none of the intimacy shown in the video was choreographed.

“Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni, without prior discussion or consent, and without an intimacy coordinator present.”
‘Sir. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s co-star, but also Ms. Lively’s director, studio head and boss.’
According to her lawyers, Blake, who leaned away from Justin in the scene, was not acting. They say,
Lively’s legal team claims she “deviates” from Baldoni during the scene and that the clips show her “repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk.”
“Any woman who has been touched inappropriately in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort.”
