Blake Lively’s former driver, Kevin Alexander, has made shocking claims about director Justin Baldoni during a ride they shared while working on the production of “It Ends with Us.” According to reports, Alexander overheard Baldoni confessing to “forcing himself on women” during a conversation that left the driver feeling uncomfortable.
These allegations come amid a $160 million lawsuit filed by Lively against Baldoni for sexual harassment on the set of the 2024 film and for allegedly orchestrating a smear campaign against her. Baldoni has denied these accusations, but Alexander’s deposition in court paints a different picture.
During the ride from Lively’s apartment in New York to a production office in New Jersey where “It Ends With Us” was being filmed, Alexander claims he heard Baldoni openly discussing his sexual relations with women in the presence of Lively and her assistant, Sophia Travaglia. The driver also alleges that Baldoni admitted to both forcing himself on women and being forced upon sexually by women in the past.
Alexander was so disturbed by the conversation that it distracted him from his driving. He recalls feeling uneasy about Baldoni’s behavior and even approached Lively at the production office to express his concerns. Alexander suggested conducting a background check on Baldoni, as he felt something was not right about the director.
In his deposition, Alexander detailed how Baldoni’s graphic discussions about his sexual past with women were deeply unsettling to him. He emphasized that such behavior was not something he could easily forget and that he felt compelled to speak up about what he had heard.
Sigrid McCawley, a member of Lively’s legal team, emphasized the significance of the evidence provided by Alexander, stating that it supports the claims made in Lively’s lawsuit. Despite these serious allegations, representatives for Baldoni have yet to respond to the driver’s claims.
The newly revealed testimony from Alexander sheds light on the troubling allegations surrounding Baldoni’s conduct and adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal battle between Lively and the director. The seriousness of these accusations underscores the importance of addressing issues of sexual harassment and misconduct in the entertainment industry.
