Blake Lively’s Sex Scene Control Sparks Edits & Lawsuits
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, newly unsealed texts reveal editor Robb Sullivan 'SMH' at Blake Lively's final say over "It Ends With Us" sex scenes, including those of her teenage flashback self. Lively’s lawsuit against co-star/director Justin Baldoni alleges sexual harassment and a social media smear campaign, with Baldoni slamming back with a $400M countersuit now dismissed. The judge even had to authorize taping a subpoena to the editor’s door after five failed visits—even though lights and TV were on. As Sullivan says, 'Honestly, it’s all about control.'
