A source tells PEOPLE that while Blake Lively "knows it will be a long year with continued drama" stemming from her ongoing legal battle with her 'It Ends with Us' costar and director Justin Baldoni,

Blake Lively's publicist, Leslie Sloane, argued it was not defamatory to say that the whole cast of "It Ends With Us" hated director Justin Baldoni.

In the amended complaint, Ms. Lively said that Mr. Baldoni, her co-star in “It Ends With Us,” made two other actresses on set uncomfortable and that they were willing to testify.
