But now, that counterattack has collapsed — leaving Baldoni to face Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit as the only case still standing. The Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Baldoni, Lively and Reynolds for further comment on the story. The storyline of the film centered around a toxic relationship between Lily Bloom (played by Lively) and Ryle Kincaid (Baldoni). In December last year, Lively named Baldoni in a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment, retaliatory conduct, and intentional infliction of emotional stress. In the suit, Baldoni named Lively, her spouse Ryan Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane, citing the aforementioned report in legal documents.
