Blake Lively was ‘in pain’ after filming ‘It Ends With Us,’ co-star Michele Morrone says

One of Blake Lively’s co-stars claimed the actress was “in pain” after filming “It Ends With Us” as he spoke out in support of her sexual harassment complaint against director Justin Baldoni.

Michele Morrone reacted to his “A Simple Favor 2” castmate’s legal action against Baldoni in an emotional video message posted to his Instagram Story on Monday.

“So it’s usually not my thing to make these types of videos, but I think it’s time to stand up for a person I really love, and this person is Blake Lively,” the Italian actor said.

Morrone, 34, explained that he became acquainted with Lively, 37, while shooting the “incredible” sequel to her 2018 movie “A Simple Favor.”

“I felt something was wrong, and I felt the pain, and then we had the opportunity to talk, me and her,” he shared.

The “365 Days” star reiterated that the “Gossip Girl” alum was living in anguish and slammed internet trolls for not believing her side of the story when rumors of a feud between her and Baldoni, 40, first surfaced online earlier this year.

“Blake was in pain. And I’m really tired to see those kind of cruel and bad comments about her without knowing the situation,” he continued. “So that’s why I want to link right here the article [from] the New York Times so that you can understand before commenting what happened.”

Morrone finished his message by pleading with his 15.7 million followers to read the article before jumping to any conclusions.

“That’s all I ask. That’s what I want you to do,” he said.

“Blake, I love you so much. Keep it up, and we’re going to see each other very, very soon. Love you.”

Last week, Lively filed a complaint in which she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment on set of “It Ends With us,” which he directed and starred in as her love interest.

She also claimed the “Jane the Virgin” alum and his PR team had orchestrated a smear campaign against her after she called for an “all-hands” meeting to address his alleged behavior on set.

During the meeting, Baldoni was allegedly asked to stop showing Lively “nude videos or images of women” and to stop mentioning his past “porn addiction” to her, according to the complaint obtained by Page Six.

He was also asked to cease discussing his “personal experiences with sex” with her, per the filing.

Lively subsequently requested an intimacy coordinator to be present on set during her scenes with Baldoni, whom she claimed was told not to bite or suck her lip without her consent.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, later said in a statement to Page Six, “It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations. These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”

Following Lively’s complaint, talent agency WME dropped Baldoni as a client. Notably, the “Age of Adaline” star and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are still represented by the same agency.

Several other Hollywood stars have come to Lively’s defense recently, including her “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” co-stars and her “It Ends With Us” castmate Brandon Sklenar.
