SUMMARY
  • Blake Lively’s lawsuit has stirred up drama in Hollywood.
  • Justin Baldoni's personal and professional reputation are both on the line.
  • This legal fight could affect both their Hollywood careers.

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit alleging sexual assault harassment against her It Ends With Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. She claimed he created a toxic work environment while filming the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel.

Baldoni, through his lawyer, has denied the accusations, calling them “completely false.” The lawsuit doesn’t mention how much money Lively is suing for, but it’s clear that this fight could cost Baldoni big—not just in legal fees but in his reputation and future work opportunities.

This drama comes as both stars were already making headlines for their roles in It Ends With Us. Now, their legal battle adds an even bigger twist. But here’s a question: how does their net worth stack up, and could this lawsuit change it? Let’s break it down.

Justin Baldoni’s Hollywood story began in 2004 with The Young and the Restless. From there, he guest-starred in Charmed and JAG before hitting his stride as Reid Bardem on Everwood. Then came his breakout role: Rafael Solano in the CW hit Jane the Virgin.

But Baldoni isn’t just about acting. He directed Five Feet Apart, produced his own music videos, and co-created the docu-series My Last Days, a massive YouTube hit that later aired on the CW. In 2019, the actor took his talents to a new level and co-founded Wayfarer Studios, a production company focused on meaningful stories.

For his role in It Ends With Us, reports say he made $320,000, but it’s unclear if that includes his paycheck for directing. Compared to Lively’s rumored $3 million payday for the same movie (per The Tab), Baldoni’s earnings look small in comparison. His overall net worth is estimated at $1 million (via Parade ).

Blake Lively has been a Hollywood powerhouse for years, starting with her iconic role as Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl. For that show alone, she made $60,000 per episode. Multiply that by 121 episodes over six years, and you get a cool $7.2 million.

Lively didn’t stop there. She’s starred in hit movies like A Simple Favor (for which she earned $800,000) and The Shallows. But her acting roles are just one part of her income. She’s also a top-tier brand ambassador.

The actress reportedly earned $4 million for a two-year Gucci campaign and rakes in even more as the face of L’Oréal Paris. On top of that, her entrepreneurial spirit shines through. She runs Betty Buzz, a successful drinks company, and recently launched a haircare line called Blake Brown Beauty.

Her businesses are still new, but they’re expected to bring in big bucks. According to Cosmopolitan, the Hollywood beauty’s current fortune is a whopping $30 million. That’s a massive leap from the $16 million she had just four years ago.

As Lively put it to Vogue when she landed on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, “I hope to never ever be complacent, because that’s one of the most tragic things I could ever be.” Translation? She’s just getting started.

What’s the amount Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni for?

Blake Lively’s wealth is a whopping $29 million ahead of Justin Baldoni. The difference is huge with a whole lot of cash separating them. Lively’s lawsuit doesn’t mention a dollar amount yet, but it’s already causing a stir.

She claimed the filmmaker created a “hostile work environment” on set. Allegations include showing inappropriate content, making awkward comments, and overstepping professional boundaries.

TMZ reported that Lively demanded several changes during filming, including no more discussions about cast members’ personal lives, no comments about her weight, and no further mention of her late father. Baldoni’s team has firmly denied the allegations.

The lawsuit’s financial stakes are unclear, but the fallout for Baldoni could be big. Legal fees, a tarnished reputation, and lost opportunities are all on the line.
