It doesn’t end.
Nearly two weeks after Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni, the actor’s lawyer revealed their plans for legal action.
When asked in a Thursday NBC News interview whether Baldoni, 40, plans to sue Lively, 37, Bryan Freedman replied, “Absolutely, yes.”
The attorney did not give a timeline — but did say the “Jane the Virgin” alum would do so “soon.”
He added, “We plan to release every single text message between the two of them. We want the truth to be out there.
“We want the documents to be out there,” Freedman continued. “We want people to make their determination based on receipts.”
Along with Baldoni, the plaintiffs will include his production company, Wayfarer Studios, and his publicists Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan, People reported Thursday.
The outlet also claimed that, in addition to Lively, the lawsuit will be against the actress, her publicist, Leslie Sloane, and Baldoni’s former publicist Stephanie Jones.
Jones and Lively’s rep have yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Jones, notably, sued Baldoni last month over an alleged breach of contract.
Lively and Baldoni began making headlines for an alleged feud in August when their movie, based on Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name, premiered.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Baldoni did not walk the red carpet with his castmates — who noticeably did not follow him on social media — nor did he do subsequent press with them.
While Page Six reported at the time that Baldoni made Lively “uncomfortable” on set, others claimed that he felt “sidelined” over an alleged creative struggle.
Additionally, past interviews resurfaced with Lively being a “nightmare” to journalists, with social media users also bashing the way she promoted the film despite its serious themes.
In her Dec. 21 complaint, Lively claimed this online hate stemmed from Baldoni’s PR team’s alleged smear campaign to “destroy” her reputation with “social manipulation.”
She also accused the filmmaker of sexual harassment in the filing, with Baldoni vehemently denying all of her claims via Freedman as “salacious.”
Lively reiterated her accusations when she officially sued Baldoni in New York federal court on Dec. 31.
That same day, Baldoni filed a $2.5 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times over its coverage of Lively’s complaint — although her rep claimed this changed “nothing” about their case.
