BOMBSHELL LAWSUIT

Hollywood stars Blake and Justin appeared in the adaptation of the best-selling Colleen Hoover novel, It Ends With Us in August.

Yet the film’s release was marred by a string of alleged bust-ups on set.

Justin, who is married to wife Emily Baldoni, has now been accused of showing Blake naked videos and images of other women as well as making references about his alleged previous porn addiction in the bombshell lawsuit, according to documents

The documents claim film executives had to arrange an all-hands meeting, attended by Deadpool star Ryan, 40, after Blake told bosses of her concerns.

The actress is said to have demanded 'Conman' star Justin to stop showing her naked photos of women, talking about his sex life, discussing cast members’ genitalia and asking about his co-star’s weight.

She also claims to have asked for "no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing outside the scope of the script approved when signing onto the project."

Distributor Sony Pictures approved The Age of Adaline star's requests but the lawsuit says Justin used “social manipulation” to destroy her reputation after she aired her fears.

Justin's lawyer Bryan Freedman has branded the lawsuit “shameful” and claimed it was “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious, with an intent to publicly hurt”.

He claimed Blake launched legal action to “fix her negative reputation” after reports that she was “diva-like” on set.

HOOVER SUPPORT

Colleen Hoover - author of the book on which the movie is based - has also spoken out amid the sexual harassment allegations.

The American appeared to support Blake in an online post that also included a link to the star’s claims.

Novelist Colleen said Blake had been “nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met."

She added: “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
