As reported by foreign media, actor Isabela Ferrer, 24, who played the younger version of Blake Lively’s Lily Bloom, in last year’s rom-com ‘It Ends With Us’, has accused the movie’s actor-director Justin Baldoni, of harassment and ‘inappropriate’ behaviour, after she received a subpoena from the ‘Gossip Girl’ alum’s counsel as part of their legal war.
In the court documents, filed on August 12, Ferrer’s attorneys alleged that the actor reached to the movie’s production banner, Wayfarer Studios, co-owned by Baldoni, to have her legal fees covered, in accordance to the project’s contract.
However, she reportedly received a response from the company asking her to ‘relinquish control of her response to the Lively subpoena to Wayfarer’ before being granted the compensation.
“From that point forward, Baldoni has tried to manipulate, threaten, control and otherwise act inappropriately towards Ms. Ferrer,” her lawyers alleged in court documents and accused Baldoni of filing a recent motion against the actor, to ‘harass’ her after she refused to agree with his team’s terms.
Per the legal team, the motion by Baldoni is ‘yet another attempt to manipulate the press, to create havoc on a young, up-and-coming and talented actress and to violate this Court’s policies on the publishing of non-party personally identifying information’.
“Ms. Ferrer has already had to resist Baldoni’s inappropriate conduct in connection with her response to the Lively Subpoena,” the filing stated, adding that Ferrer has received ‘personal threats and hateful statements’ from social media users since the filing of Baldoni’s motion against her.
“Unfortunately, the Motion is just the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms. Ferrer. While Ms. Ferrer will faithfully comply with her legal obligations under any subpoena, summons or court order, she obviously will not be intimidated or extorted by any party to otherwise participate in the proceedings,” her lawyers maintained.
However, in response, Baldoni’s legal team slammed the filing in a separate letter to court. “We write in response to Isabela Ferrer’s opposition to the Wayfarer Parties’ motion to serve her by alternative means,” they noted. “The opposition is primarily an inappropriate attack upon Mr. Baldoni and his counsel … and irrelevant to whether Ms. Ferrer should be served via alternative means.”
For the unversed, the drama between ‘It Ends With Us’ co-stars started last December, when Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against her co-star and the film’s director, followed by a lawsuit.
Baldoni denied the allegations and countersued Lively, but his $400 million lawsuit was dismissed this June.
A trial for their lawsuit has been set for next March.
