Content warning: This article mentions allegations of sexual harassment.

On Dec. 20, 2024, actress Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against her It Ends with Us co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a public smear campaign to "destroy" her reputation. In the lawsuit, Lively claimed she endured "grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety" due to Baldoni's actions.

As more details about this serious situation unfold, many are curious to know more about Justin Baldoni. One common question is: What is his net worth? Here's what we know.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Justin Baldoni's net worth currently stands at an estimated $4 million. As expected, the bulk of his wealth comes from his career in the entertainment industry as an actor, director, and producer.

However, his net worth may be affected by recent allegations of sexual harassment.

On December 20, Blake Lively, his It Ends with Us co-star, filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. The complaint accuses Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios, and others involved in the film of sexual harassment and a "coordinated effort to destroy her reputation."

Per the complaint, Lively accused Baldoni of improvising unwanted kissing during the filming of It Ends with Us and creating a hostile work environment through inappropriate sexual comments and boundary violations. Lively claimed these actions "nearly derailed production."

After the guild strikes, an all-hands meeting was held on January 4 to address "in detail" the inappropriate conduct that "Lively, her employees, and other cast and crew" allegedly experienced at the hands of Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath.

Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, attended the meeting due to the serious nature of the allegations, which involved "repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior" by Baldoni and Heath.

During the meeting, Lively and Reynolds presented a lengthy list of demands to Wayfarer Studios, which reportedly included restrictions on "showing nude videos or images of women to Lively," no further references to Baldoni's alleged past "pornography addiction," and a ban on discussions of "sexual experiences in front of Lively and others." They also demanded no more comments about "the cast and crew's genitalia" or "inquiries about Lively's weight."

Documents reviewed by The New York Times indicated that after Lively raised concerns, Baldoni and Heath hired crisis management experts who allegedly orchestrated a smear campaign to damage Lively's reputation through social media and strategic media placements.

Baldoni has denied these accusations. His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has since issued a statement accusing Lively of making "false allegations" as a way to salvage her "negative reputation." Freedman also claimed Lively hired her own crisis manager to "plant fabricated and false stories" in the media.

In response to the allegations, the talent agency WME dropped Baldoni as a client on Dec. 21, 2024. The agency has not commented on its decision but may release a statement in the future.
