Actor Blake Lively was revealed to have likened her New York The Penthouse to Buckingham Palace.
On the 14th (local time) People reported that Justin Baldoni revealed that Blake Lively called her New York The Penthouse "Buckingham Palace."
According to reports, Justin Baldoni said Lively asked to hold meetings there during filming of the movie "It Ends With Us." He reportedly said this in testimony recorded in Los Angeles in October of last year.
According to reports, Baldoni said, "She said many celebrities came and went there and used to call it Buckingham Palace. In my view it was an office inside her The Penthouse apartment, and Lively asked that all our meetings be held there," he said.
Lively's The Penthouse became a central topic in the ongoing legal dispute between the two after Baldoni alleged she insisted on holding business meetings there.
According to text messages released earlier this month, Baldoni met her at Lively's home to discuss script revisions. He also alleged that she was "setting him up" by refusing to use a body double for the sex scene in "It Ends With Us."
Court filings show Baldoni wrote in a text message that he was "emotionally numb" after being ambushed by Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, at a New York APT. in January 2024. He wrote, "Reynolds spoke to me and scolded me as if speaking to a 5-year-old child."
Blake Lively filed an official lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, director and actor of "It Ends With Us," alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, and lost wages. At the time, Baldoni also filed a $400 million counterclaim against Lively and Reynolds, but that suit was dismissed.
The trial in the case is scheduled for May 18.
