Lively also accused the former Jane The Virgin star of entering her trailer while she was nude, and letting his ‘friends’ watch her film intimate scenes, along with other activities that created a ‘hostile work environment’.
She also accused him of hiring a crisis PR team to engage in a ‘multi-tiered’ plan to ‘destroy’ her reputation after she and Reynolds complained of the ‘repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviour’ on set.
Baldoni has denied the allegations, while Lively, Reynolds and Sloane have denied the accusations made in litigation by the actor.
He claimed in court filings they made efforts to usurp and undermine his input as the director of It Ends with Us.
Video footage obtained by DailyMail.com also appeared to pour cold water on Lively’s recollection of events during the scene in which she accused him of forcing her to reshoot kisses.
Baldoni’s legal team launched a website to disprove Lively’s claims, publishing private communications such as text messages that were included in court filings detailing his interactions with the actress and Reynolds during the making of the movie.
The couple, who share four children, have faced a wave of hostility amid the ongoing feud, with his SNL joke doing little to dispel the growing dislike towards them.
Kevin Costner’s reaction to the unexpected skit went viral, with the Oscar winner appearing to grimace at Reynolds’ casual handling of the serious allegations.

Justin Baldoni tears up as he talks intense year on Gent’s Talk
‘The rest of us are Kevin Costner,’ wrote one social media user. ‘Blake and Ryan have some explaining to do. Also, what they did to Justin Baldoni is not funny at all. #SNL50.’
Another chimed in: ‘Did I see Kevin Costner sitting next to here [sic]? He didn’t look too impressed when Ryan Reynolds made his sh*t joke.’
Sources told DailyMail.com that the joke was not well received backstage, with some attendees ‘apprehensive’ about mingling with the couple amid the ongoing scandal.
Baldoni has yet to publicly react to Sunday night’s skit.
