Baddon's War and Lively: The actress was accused of over -consumption of budget for a wardrobe

Not only did the actress go beyond the budget, deciding that she was better aware of the image of her heroine, but also refused to go to the fitting on her own. She demanded that her clothes were brought home. The confrontation of the actress Blake Lively with her colleague and director Justin Baldoni is gaining momentum. Lively accuses Baldon of sexual harassment, and Baldoni and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, is in slander and trying to blame his career.

Among other things, he claims that the actress spent a lot more money on her heroine on the wardrobe than it was at first, Daily Mail writes. According to Justin's legal team, the film's budget increased by $ 430 thousand after Lively had demanded, to process her wardrobe so that he corresponds to her vision of Lily Bloom's character.

At the same time, the actress often refused to go to the production office 15 minutes from her house on Manhattan and allegedly demanded that the outfit was delivered home, which caused additional costs. The message of the linear producer of the movie from April 25, 2023 shows: "The budget of the cost of the wardrobe is $ 185 thousand. Usually the wardrobe is overwhelmed, and then there is a lot of returns and at the end is in the budget.

Our costume team told me that they will spend about $ 500 thousand. And then they will return to $ 185,000 after they have already spent $ 615 thousand, and they need to replenish their cash cards, because they only bought Justin and Blake. It's big money. They did not buy for other characters.

The claim states that Lively completely ignored the vision of the director about her character and spent weeks of effort and creativity spent by a team of costumes for buying and careful creation of her wardrobe. She sent hundreds of images to the artist from the movie costumes, demonstrating the style of the wardrobe she wanted for her character.

As a result, the costume artist had to "recycle the Lively wardrobe, which significantly exceeded the selected budget and distracted time and resources, as well as prepare wardrobes for other actors. " At some point, Lively insisted that her character "has money" and she could afford shoes for $ 5,000 - despite the fact that she is a young small business owner. This forced Baldoni to rethink the entire scenario that was in development for over a year and was approved by both Sony and Wayfarer.

The latter included innumerable notes (including comments by the author of the book Collin Hoover). Lively was also accused of "insisting" that the "costume department would pack a wardrobe and send him to her personal residence. " "Loading costumes on trucks and delivery of their contents to the Lively house in the center of overloaded Manhattan for fitting cost time and money-they are always lacking in any big movie. Querries of this kind are usually done during contract negotiations.
