Blake Lively allegedly felt ‘fat-shamed’ by Justin Baldoni on the set of It Ends With Us and was uncomfortable with a kissing scene she had with him in which she believed he ‘lingered’ for longer than was necessary.
TMZ reports that the fat-shaming stemmed from preparation for a scene in the film which saw Baldoni lift Lively into the air.
Insiders told the website that Baldoni suffers from back problems and sought assistance from a trainer prior to the lifting scene.
Baldoni allegedly asked the trainer how much Lively weighed and asked for help preparing his back to avoid incurring an injury.
When Blake learned about Baldoni’s comments, she allegedly felt fat-shamed by him.
