The legal conflict between actress Blake Lively and actor Justin Baldoni has escalated with new allegations regarding the deletion of raw footage, or 'dailies', from their upcoming film, *It Ends With Us*. Commentator Perez Hilton highlighted these claims, which suggest Lively may have sought to destroy evidence shortly after the film's release in September 2024. This request has raised eyebrows, as such actions are not typical unless sensitive material is involved. The controversy unfolds as both actors prepare for a civil trial scheduled for May 18, 2026, where Lively will present her claims of retaliation against Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer Studios. The case has seen significant developments, including the dismissal of Lively's sexual harassment allegations and a focus on her claims of reputational damage, which her legal team estimates could amount to $230 million. As the trial approaches, the implications of the alleged dailies deletion add another layer of complexity to an already contentious legal battle.
