Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novelIt Ends with Usled to a highly anticipated movie adaptation starring Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. However, it made headlines for more than just its story, and for all the wrong reasons.
The film was expected to be a major success, but the off-screen drama overshadowed its release, and now both the co-stars have gone against each other. Their massive legal battle is the talk of the town with new details emerging almost every other day. But it seems to be draining Baldoni in more ways than one!
Justin Baldoni’sIt Ends with Uspay and legal battle
Justin Baldonidirected and starred inIt Ends with Us,but reportedly earned a modest salary of $320,000 for playing Ryle Kincaid. On the contrary, Blake Lively received $3 million, and other cast members made close to Baldoni’s compensation. However, he might have had a cut in the film’s profits like most actors do these days, but there’s no confirmation about the same (viaShowbiz Galore).
But what has truly taken a toll on Baldoni’s finances is his legal feud with two different parties. He has filed a $400 million lawsuit againstBlake Livelyand Ryan Reynolds, alleging that their public accusations have caused damage to his reputation. Moreover, he also sued The New York Times with a $250 million defamation case and claimed that the publication collaborated with the couple to ruin his reputation (viaHello! Magazine).

So far, Lively has accused Baldoni of multiple things, fromse*xual harassment, to misconduct on the set, and running a smear campaignagainst her. But the actor has denied all these allegations and asserted that they have no factual basis.

As per the same source, at a pre-trial conference on July 04, 2025, Justin Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman spoke about how the actor and other names involved in the lawsuit have already been“devastated financially and emotionally.”Plus Baldoni’s estimated net worth of $4 million to $6 million is already taking the hit before the trial has even begun (via Hello! Magazine).
According toPeople, his attorney spoke about how difficult it is to fight public allegations, saying, “In these kinds of cases, once someone says something it becomes fact: there’s no way to fight against it.”Moreover, Baldoni has launched anofficial sitewith detailed documents, text exchanges, emails, and more to keep the people updated on the case.

But despite all these efforts, his co-stars fromIt Ends with Usare siding with Lively. So their silence or outright support for the actress makes it more difficult for Baldoni to clear his name from all the accusations. Unfortunately, what should’ve been a career-defining moment for the actor, has turned into a never-ending legal nightmare.
