Blake Lively's lawsuit against 'It Ends With Us co-star' and director Justin Baldoni continues to unfold with more bombshell claims. The 37-year-old actress has now disclosed that inadequate safety measures on set led to her and her infant son, Olin, contracting Covid-19. Additionally, Lively accuses Baldoni, 40, of failing to inform her of her exposure to the virus, further complicating the legal proceedings.

The actress has now added the name of her and Ryan Reynold's children in the lawsuit. She alleged that Justin knew she was exposed to the virus but did not inform her.

According to the Daily Mail report, the legal documents state - “Ms Lively was told by another producer that Wayfarer did not have insurance coverage for COVID. Mr Baldoni deliberately withheld from Ms Lively that she had been exposed to COVID. Both Ms. Lively and her infant child contracted COVID from the outbreak.”

Even worse, the production didn't have insurance for COVID delays in filming and Baldoni was upset about the time and money lost when Blake had COVID and couldn't work, Daily Mail reported.

The statement reads, “Ms. Lively expressed her frustration that Mr. Heath and Mr. Baldoni had concealed the fact that she had been exposed to a COVID outbreak on set, which led to her and her infant contracting COVID.” Instead of taking responsibility and committing to future safety measures, they reportedly showed more concern over the missed production days and associated costs.

'If BL is exposed to COVID-19, she must be provided notice as soon as possible after Wayfarer or any producer or production executive becomes aware of such exposure,' one of the items on the request read.
