“Privately, Baldoni reached out to Don, as his personal trainer, to ask what Lively weighed so that he could train his back muscles in preparation for a lift scene. This was important to avoid injury not only to Baldoni, who suffered from lifelong back injuries, multiple bulging disks, and chronic pain but also to Lively if the lift could not be completed successfully and safely,” the suit reads.
“Notwithstanding Lively’s recent attempts to deny the existence of any such scene, it was only nixed at her insistence after having been planned and rehearsed. The next morning, Baldoni was summoned to the penthouse by Lively and greeted by Reynolds, who swore at Baldoni and accused him of fat-shaming his wife (‘How dare you f-cking ask about my wife’s weight? What’s wrong with you?’).”
“The confrontation from Reynolds and Lively was so aggressive that Baldoni felt he had no choice but to offer repeated (and completely unwarranted) apologies for what was a good faith and reasonable question to ask of his trainer. Reynolds demanded Baldoni remove the scene entirely,” the suit continues.
“Lively refused to perform the lift scene in the end, even after it was rehearsed with a stunt double. In her own Complaint, Lively flat out lies about the absence of this scene by claiming ‘the scene wasn’t in the film.’ The only reason the scene wasn’t in the film is because Lively and Reynolds ensured it was taken out of the Film. Accommodating Lively, Baldoni re-wrote the scene with Lively, despite the fact that for creative reasons, this scene was important to him as a storyteller and director.”
