Blake Lively accused of using journalist 'as a pawn' in Justin Baldoni sexual harassment lawsuit

Blake Lively was accused of using a journalist "as a pawn" in her legal back-and-forth with her co-star Justin Baldoni. The "It Ends With Us" star accused Baldoni of sexual harassment.

During the "It Ends With Us" press tour in August, Flaa uploaded a video interviewing Lively in 2016 titled, "The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job." Flaa seemingly experienced an uncomfortable moment with Lively after she congratulated the "Gossip Girl" star on her pregnancy.

"My name is just printed in the lawsuit, and there’s not really any context around it – just a headline from a news outlet [that covered Flaa’s video] .... But they haven’t mentioned more about my video in the lawsuit because they know that it had nothing to do with [Baldoni’s] campaign, so they could not put that in any legal papers. Instead, they fed it to the New York Times," the journalist told The Ankler. "They saw that they could insinuate that I had something to do with it."
