The recent controversy involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has brought a lot of attention to the dynamics on the set of their film "It Ends With Us." The situation escalated when a clip resurfaced, labeling Blake Lively as a 'nightmare to work with.' This clip appears to be from a 2016 interview where a journalist described a difficult interaction with Lively, which has now gained renewed attention amid the ongoing legal and public disputes.

The current controversy began when Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior on the set of the film. Lively claimed that Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath engaged in sexually charged conversations, made inappropriate comments about her appearance, and showed her a video she believed to be pornographic, which Heath later claimed was a recording of his wife giving birth. Lively also alleged that Baldoni orchestrated a smear campaign against her, hiring a crisis PR team to damage her reputation.

In response, Justin Baldoni and Jamey Heath have filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing the publication of publishing a one-sided story that misrepresented their actions. They argue that the video shown to Lively was part of a creative discussion for a birthing scene in the film and that the claims of sexual harassment are false and defamatory.The resurfaced clip from 2016 has added another layer of complexity to the situation. The journalist in the clip described Lively as difficult to work with, which has been interpreted by some as a smear tactic to undermine Lively's credibility. However, many of Lively's friends and colleagues, including America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, Whitney Cummings, and others, have publicly supported her, stating that the allegations against Baldoni are credible and that they stand with Lively in her fight against the smear campaign.In summary, the resurfacing of the 'nightmare to work with' clip has been part of a broader narrative of public and legal conflict between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. The clip, from an older interview, has been used in the context of the current controversy to question Lively's character, but it is also being defended by her supporters as part of a larger smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni.
