The films show a scene that Blake Lively has pointed out as one of many uncomfortable situations during filming, writes Deadline. It shows how the two actors, who have a relationship in the film, dance closely together.

According to Baldoni, the three films show that the actors treat each other with mutual respect and professionalism.

Blake Lively, however, strikes back, and announces through her lawyers that the video is evidence of what she accuses him of. The lawyers point out how Baldoni "repeatedly leans against Ms Lively, tries to kiss her, kiss her forehead, rubs his face and mouth against her neck, touches her lip with his thumb, caresses her, tells her how good she smells, and talks to her outside of her role".

Baldoni has sued his co-star and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation. Together with the production company Wayfarer Studios, he said that they actually did not want to sue, but that Lively through her accusations "did not give them any choice".

Blake Lively has in turn accused her co-star and director Justin Baldoni of having sexually harassed her during filming – and then, with the help of a PR firm, launched a smear campaign against her.
