(NewsNation) — The feud between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively has captured the minds of many in the entertainment world.

So much so, 60 Minutes Australia interviewed “It Ends With Us” storyboard artist Talia Spencer about her experiences on the set of the now-infamous 2024 film.

Baldoni and Lively co-starred in the movie. Lively also played a role in producing, while Baldoni directed it. The pair have engaged in a longstanding legal battle.

NewsNation revealed in February that Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, “have no idea what’s coming down the pike,” according to an insider.

Accusations have been made from both sides. Baldoni has claimed there were extortion attempts and he was defamed, while Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint in December.

Spencer was complimentary of Baldoni while speaking to 60 Minutes Australia, describing him as “one of the few directors I’ve worked for that was kind and respectful.”

As for Lively, Spencer believes she had nefarious intentions when dealing with Baldoni.

“I feel like maybe Blake smelled his kindness, mistook it for weakness and tried to take advantage and take power,” she said.

Lively’s popularity has sunk since the feud between her and Baldoni became public, but as NewsNation reported, she has rekindled with best friend Taylor Swift.
