When director Justin Baldoni announced that A-List actress Blake Lively would be the star of his film adaptation of the hit book “It Ends With Us”, social media went wild with anticipation.

Baldoni denied the allegations, and soon responded with a $400 million countersuit, accusing Lively of defamation and of trying to take over creative direction of the film. HE SAID, SHE SAID: BLAKE LIVELY VS. JUSTIN BALDONI examines all of the scandalous evidence in this gripping case. Who will you believe?
