The upcoming documentary He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni has set Hollywood abuzz, promising to unravel one of the industry’s most talked-about behind-the-scenes feuds. But what exactly happened between the two stars of It Ends With Us? And will the documentary be available to watch in Australia? Here’s everything Aussie audiences need to know.
What is He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni about?
The documentary He Said, She Said delves into the legal and personal battles between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who co-starred in the highly anticipated film It Ends With Us. The tension between them, which started on set, quickly escalated into a full-blown feud, leading to multiple lawsuits, public allegations, and behind-the-scenes drama. Through exclusive interviews, leaked court documents, and insider commentary, the documentary aims to piece together both sides of the story.
“The special will examine the legal complaint brought against Justin Baldoni by Blake Lively, alleging he engaged in sexual misconduct on the set of his film It Ends With Us and hired a PR firm to engage in an online smear campaign against her to keep her quiet,” read the release. “Baldoni denies the allegations and has responded with a $400 million countersuit, accusing her of defamation.
“With the trial set for March 2026, the special will examine the evidence on both sides and the response to the dispute on social media.”
“This story has captivated the world, perpetuated by social media which is still gaining momentum,” added Denise Seneviratne, commissioning editor at Channel 5. “It feels really pertinent for us as a channel to be making this film within the context of ‘#Me too’. We’re very happy to be working with ITN on this UK feature length version.”
Why are Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni feuding?
What started as creative differences on It Ends With Us reportedly turned into a personal and professional war. Sources claim that Lively was unhappy with Baldoni’s handling of the project as both director and co-star, while Baldoni allegedly accused Lively of undermining his vision and professionalism. The feud reached its peak when legal action was taken, with both parties making shocking accusations against each other.
Lively and Baldoni have each filed lawsuits citing defamation, breach of contract, and professional sabotage. Lively’s camp claims that Baldoni engaged in retaliatory behaviour after she raised concerns about the production, while Baldoni’s team alleges that Lively made false statements that harmed his reputation. The legal battle has put both actors under scrutiny, with the documentary aiming to dissect the claims and counterclaims.
Where can Australians watch He Said, She Said?
At this stage, He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni will premiere in the U.K. on Channel 5 and a shorter 60-minute version, acquired by Investigation Discovery in the U.S., is set to air on March 31 and will stream on Max and Discovery+.
For Australian audiences eager to follow the drama, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to find out a local premiere date, but given the widespread curiosity surrounding this Hollywood showdown, the documentary is expected to make waves internationally, including in Australia soon.
