Isabela Ferrer, who played the younger version of Blake Lively‘s character Lily in the movie It Ends With Us, is accusing director Justin Baldoni of bullying and harassing her amid the legal battle surrounding the two leads.
Blake and Justin have been involved in a legal battle for all of 2025 after the actress accused the filmmaker of sexual harassment and creating a smear campaign against her. He denied the allegations and filed a countersuit against her, accusing her of defamation and extortion, among other claims.
Isabela‘s lawyers filed a motion in the court after Justin‘s team allegedly tried to “exert pressure” on her through a subpoena.

After Isabela was initially subpoenaed by Blake, her team reached out to Justin‘s production company Wayfarer Studios to have her legal fees covered by the company, as her contract for the movie states. Isabela‘s team claims that in order to be compensated, the company asked her to “relinquish control of her response to the Lively subpoena to Wayfarer.”
“From that point forward, Baldoni has tried to manipulate, threaten, control and otherwise act inappropriately towards Ms. Ferrer,” her lawyers said in new documents filed in court.
Justin‘s team reportedly filed a motion against Isabela, which her team says is an attempt to “harass” her. They said the motion is “yet another attempt to manipulate the press, to create havoc on a young, up-and-coming and talented actress and to violate this Court’s policies on the publishing of non-party personally identifying information.”
“Ms. Ferrer has already had to resist Baldoni’s inappropriate conduct in connection with her response to the Lively Subpoena,” her team claimed (via E! News).
“Unfortunately, the Motion is just the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms. Ferrer,” her team said. “While Ms. Ferrer will faithfully comply with her legal obligations under any subpoena, summons or court order, she obviously will not be intimidated or extorted by any party to otherwise participate in the proceedings.”
