It Ends With Us Star Isabela Ferrer Accuses Justin Baldoni Of Harassment
Isabela Ferrer rose to fame by playing the younger version of Blake Lively's onscreen character Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us. The 24-year-old actress has now spoken up and accused It Ends With Us director and actor Justin Baldoni of harassing her through his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively.
What's Happening
Things started heating up when It Ends With Us director-actor Justin Baldoni's lawyers filed a motion with the court on August 12, 2025, stating that Isabela Ferrer has not responded to their subpoena.
The actress's lawyers, in turn, filed a rebuttal on August 17, 2025, demanding that the court deny the subpoena charged against her. Rather, they asked to impose sanctions on Justin Baldoni, alleging that he had "engaged in bad faith statistics" and hence filed a motion "for improper purposes and to harass" Isabela, as stated by People Magazine.
The lawyer elaborated that the 24-year-old actress is being harassed as Justin Baldoni is tactfully using his financial control over Isabela Ferrer to control how she reponds to Blake Lively's subpoena.
On the contrary, Isabela simply does not want to be embroiled in this ongoing controversy.
Isabela Ferrer's lawyers further revealed how Justin Baldoni's team tried to "exert control over" her.
The lawyers stated, "Baldoni made no effort to tailor the subpoena towards the production of new or different materials, demonstrating that the real aim of the Baldoni Subpoena, as well as the pending Motion, is to harass Ms Ferrer."
They further added that Isabela had complied with Blake Lively's subpoena earlier this year and submitted all that was required from her end. But then came the unacceptable demands from Justin Baldoni's legal team.
Furthermore, the 24-year-old actress revealed that her contract with Justin Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios at It Ends With Us Movie, LLC, states that all costs pertaining to any legal battles surrounding the film will be taken care of by them.
The lawyers said, "It Ends, LLC has not honoured its obligations."
The lawyer added that they have agreed to pay the fees only if Isabela "surrenders control", and the delayed indemnity of Isabela is associated with the "transparent attempt to put financial pressure on" her.
Ferrer took her "reasonable extensions of time from Lively" to respond to the subpoena until the indemnity issue was sorted.
About The Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Case
This new development with Isabela Ferrer has stemmed from the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni legal case that began last December.
Blake Lively, 37, had accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment on the It Ends With Us sets. The actor-filmmaker denied all the accusations made by the actress in her complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. Justin Baldoni further responded to her claims with a USD 400 million countersuit, which is also dismissed now.
As for Blake Lively, she had subpoenaed Isabela Ferrer in February this year.
Both the cases involving Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively are set to go on trial in March 2026.

Angelina Jolie leaving Hollywood? Actress plans to sell US home and move abroad
Los Angeles [US], August 19 (ANI): Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie is reportedly planning to sell her house in the United States and relocate abroad with her children. According to a People magazine report, the actor is preparing to put her Los Angeles home on the market ahead of the move. "Jolie never wanted to live in L.A. full-time. She didn't have a choice because of the custody arrangement with her ex-husband Brad Pitt," the source said, as quoted by the outlet. The report added that Jolie may relocate as soon as her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 next year. "She's eyeing several locations abroad. She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles," the source added. In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie briefly touched upon her personal life, involving her children and divorce from Pitt. Even though she grew up in Los Angeles, the actress remains in the city because of the legalities surrounding her divorce. "When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety. I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be... that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here," she said. Jolie and Brad Pitt finalised their divorce in December last year, citing "irreconcilable differences." "More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time, she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family," her lawyers told People at the time. The former couple share six children, including Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. On the work front for Angelina Jolie, the actress will reunite with her 'Mr and Mrs Smith' director Doug Liman for the upcoming spy thriller, 'The Initiative,' reported Variety. Details surrounding the film's plot have been kept under wraps. (ANI)
