Blake Lively felt “fat-shamed” by Justin Baldoni when he mentioned her weight while filming “It Ends With Us,” according to a new report.
Baldoni, 40, allegedly asked an on-set trainer how much Lively, 36, weighed before shooting a scene in which he had to lift her, sources told TMZ Wednesday.
The “Jane the Virgin” star has a history of back issues, per the outlet, and wanted to know how to properly train to avoid hurting himself.
Lively, who gave birth to her fourth child just a few months before production began last year, later found out about Baldoni’s comment and felt “bothered” and body-shamed by it, the sources told TMZ.
The report claimed the co-stars also had tension over a kissing scene that the “Gossip Girl” alum thought lasted too long.
Reps for Lively and Baldoni did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

“As a producer, Blake was given the opportunity to provide edits and feedback to the film,” one insider explained.

Rumors are also swirling that the filmmaker may not return to direct or reprise his role as Ryle in the sequel movie, based on Hoover’s 2022 book “It Starts With Us.”
Though he owns the rights to the novel via his production company, Wayfarer Studios, Baldoni suggested passing the torch to Lively to direct the next adaptation .
