may 23, 2023 - Baldoni 'Sexy' Comment

Description:

"May 23, 2023: Shoot Day #7 - Baldoni, during a scene in which the cast is wearing loose-fitting
onesies, attempts to give Lively directorial feedback regarding wardrobe and encourages her to remove her coat to reveal her onesie to match the rest of the cast, who were also dressed in onesies. In Lively’s Complaint, she alleges that Baldoni used the word “sexy” in a tone that made her feel “ogled and exposed.” However, Baldoni, as the director, noted that the look would be “sexy,” referencing the wardrobe for the scene and not Lively personally. (Lively had previously mentioned (verbally and in texts) that she wanted her wardrobe to be “sexy”).

His statements were immediately followed by a gesture indicating that Lively had something in her teeth and a request for someone on set to get her a toothpick. This exchange, all of which was captured on camera, was bookended by Baldoni’s immediate recognition that Lively appeared offended; Baldoni offered multiple apologies to Lively moments later, despite the fact that he was merely doing his job.
