Blake Lively has made a rather strong statement about ”INTIMACY SAFETY’ issues with Justin Baldoni in It Ends With Us

Blake Lively made a rather barbed statement about having ‘intimacy safety’ on set of It Ends With Us.

The actress, 36, seemingly threw shade at her co-star and director Justin Baldoni amid claims that he made her feel ‘uneasy’ and there was tension on the movie set.

In an interview with Digital Spy published on Saturday, Lively dished about working with intimacy coordinators for passionate, physical contact scenes in the new romantic drama.

Talking to the outlet, she called attention to the importance of having intimacy coordinators working with the cast on set to choreograph those on-screen actions ‘safely.’

Her seemingly veiled comments come after claims emerged that Baldoni made her feel ‘uneasy’ during filming.

When asked about intimacy safety specifically on their movie set, Lively answered: ‘Oh, that’s a nice question. I think it’s critical to have an intimacy coordinator.’

She pointed out that any other movement sequences are carefully choreographed on the set of a movie before adding that intimacy scenes require the same level of care and guidance.

‘I think that, like, you coordinate stunts, you coordinate dancing. It is, it’s choreography,’ she said.

‘So, to be able to say, you know, so this was what happens here, here and here in a stunt; and this is what happens here, here and here in a dance. But, like, now you guys just go…put your bodies together and your mouths and whatever. And just like, action and cut…that’s sort of ridiculous,’ she explained.

‘So I think that that being choreographed is critical for everyone’s safety,’ she concluded.

Her answer seemed especially pointed after claims emerged that Baldoni made her feel ‘uneasy’ during filming.

Allegedly, Lively ‘felt fat-shamed’ by Baldoni and felt ‘uneasy’ over one of their kissing scenes.

She reportedly felt uncomfortable when they were preparing to film a scene, in which Baldoni would lift Lively into the air, insiders told TMZ on Wednesday.

Sources told the site that the actor suffers from back problems and sought assistance from a trainer prior to the lifting scene.

Then, Baldoni reportedly asked the trainer how much Lively weighed and asked for help preparing his back to avoid incurring an injury.

When Lively learned about his exchange, however, she allegedly felt fat-shamed by him.

Because Lively welcomed her fourth child with husband Ryan Reynolds in February 2023, sources claimed that the remark really got to the actress.

TMZ’s sources also cited another alleged instance that bothered Lively on the set — a kissing scene that allegedly ‘lingered’ for longer than necessary.

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Baldoni and Lively for comment.

And trying not to fan the flames of a rumored feud, Baldoni also addressed the ‘friction’ on the set and hired a crisis manager amid the drama.

While he avoided the topic of a feud, he said that having ‘friction’ during production can lead to creating ‘beautiful art.’

In his interview with Elle UK, he explained that there are challenges when juggling multiple roles on set.

‘It’s very challenging to act and direct, and especially with a project like this,’ he said. ‘There was a lot of pressure playing such a complex role like Ryle and, of course, as a filmmaker, you’re always navigating personalities.

‘There are all these things that happen every day on set, there’s always friction that happens when you make a movie like this. Then at the end of the day, it’s that friction, I believe, that creates the beautiful art.

‘Everything in life needs friction to grow. And look, we created something so beautiful and so magical, and it was hard, and it was worth it at the same time. And I grew so much as both a filmmaker, an actor and as a person throughout this experience.’

Baldoni did speak positively about Lively, calling her a ‘creative powerhouse’ and comparing her acting prowess to elite sports car Ferrari.

‘It’s like the difference between driving a Toyota Camry or like a Ferrari. You’re like acting with somebody who’s like a Ferrari of an actor,’ Baldoni said. ‘You move a little bit and then they respond, and it really was incredible just in terms of helping me craft the performance.
