More details emerge from Blake Lively’s 80-page complaint filed against Justin Baldoni
The lawsuit filed Friday contains numerous instances of alleged sexual misconduct on the It Ends with Us set and plans of a smear campaign against Lively, orchestrated by a PR team enlisted by Baldoni. In the legal filing, Lively also accuses the director of "intrusively asking" her a question about her sex life, speaking about his experiences with pornography, and claiming he could speak to the dead, telling the actress on several occasions that he had spoken to her dead father.
Lawyers for the actress also state due the smear campaign tarnishing Lively’s reputation she was forced to cancel a critical Target corporate event for her haircare company, and backed out of her scheduled role to host the premier episode of the 50th anniversary season of Saturday Night Live in September 2024. Amid the backlash, Baldoni was dropped by his talent agency WME.
Actor Art Evans, best known for A Soldier's Story and Die Hard 2, dies at 82
Evans died on Saturday due to complications from diabetes, his agents LyNea Bell and Charleen McGuire confirmed yesterday. The Berkeley, California-born actor's career spanned almost 40 years. His first credited on-screen role came in a 1976 episode of Chico and the Man. Meanwhile, his first credited film role came in the 1976 biopic Leadbelly, where he used his talent as a multi-instrumentalist to portray 'Blind Lemon' Jefferson.

'Festivus' contrasts the holiday cheer of Christmas and allows you to air your grievances about friends, family, work, and the season.
