Blake Lively has escalated her legal battle with Justin Baldoni as she claims two other actresses are about to come forward and provide evidence in support of her allegations.
The Gossip Girl actress, 37, filed an amended complaint late Tuesday night, claiming the two actresses on set also had uncomfortable experiences with her It Ends With Us director and co-star.
According to a spokesperson for Blake, the complaint does not name the alleged victim-witnesses or include their texts or screenshots in order to protect their privacy.
‘Importantly, however, these victim-witnesses have given Ms. Lively permission to share their communications in the Amended Complaint as they are laid out, and they will testify and produce documents in the discovery process,’ the spokesperson said.
The complaint is said to contain ‘significant contemporaneous evidence’ that Blake was not alone in raising allegations of on-set misconduct, along with ‘corroboration of her original claims.’
It also reportedly claims ‘evidence detailing the threats, harassment, and intimidation’ of not just Blake, but ‘numerous innocent bystanders.’

The Gossip Girl actress filed an amended complaint claiming the two actresses on set also had uncomfortable experiences with her It Ends With Us director and co-star
Blake previously filed a sexual harassment lawsuit in December against Justin, who co-starred in and directed her hit romantic drama It Ends With Us.
Justin followed up by launching a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake, her publicist and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
He also filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for its reporting on Blake’s allegations.
But despite the high-stakes legal battle, it seems neither side plans to back down any time soon.
Last month, a judge scheduled a trial date for their lawsuits in March of 2026, and both parties have already decided to skip any attempt at mediation.
Meanwhile, Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has claimed the allegations have cost his client ‘a substantial amount of work.’
Appearing on Monday’s episode of the Hot Mics With Billy Bush podcast, Bryan discussed the ongoing case and even revealed what the ideal outcome would be for his 41-year-old client.
When asked if he had initially been open to ‘mediating’ with Blake’s legal team, the lawyer explained: ‘The question was asked about whether he would be willing to go to mediation and whether we were open to that, and our answer to that was, ‘no.’

‘We are not willing to do anything until Justin is cleared of being called a predator, a sexual harasser. Until that is determined to have not happened, we will be doing this,’ Bryan stated.
Former Today host Billy, 53, probed further and asked: ‘What is most important to Justin? The $400 million or some kind of financial settlement to make up for…has he lost work? Have people backed away from him for a future project?’
Bryan replied: ‘A substantial amount of work,’ but didn’t elaborate on any specific projects.
When the host asked if Justin is looking for a ‘full-blown apology from Blake,’ the lawyer – who has represented the likes of Robert Downey Jr and Mariah Carey in the past – replied: ‘I think he wants a determination, I know he wants a determination…
‘That he did not engage in the behaviour that has been alleged, and that he did not engage in sexual harassment or create a smear campaign.’
It comes as Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds appeared to make light of the situation when they returned to the spotlight at the SNL50 anniversary special on Sunday.
In one segment featuring questions from the star-studded audience Ryan, 48, alluded to the duelling lawsuits.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler set off the exchange by asking: ‘How’s it going?’
‘Great. Why, what have you heard?’ the Deadpool star responded nervously, while clasping his hands together.
Insiders later told DailyMail.com that some attendees of the SNL anniversary special were ‘apprehensive’ about chatting with the A-list couple.
