Actress Isabela Ferrer’s testimony has attracted new attention as newly revealed court records are linked to the ongoing trial. End with us legal surface.
Ferrer played the younger version of Blake Lively’s character in the film. Her statements include direct accusations about director and co-star Justin Baldoni, adding another layer to a case that has already attracted significant public scrutiny.
The documents emerged as part of Lively’s lawsuit, which she first filed in December 2024, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and alleging that he and others were involved in a “social manipulation” campaign aimed at damaging her reputation.
Baldoni has denied the allegations, and his legal team previously called the allegations “serious and categorically false.” His countersuit was later dismissed.
In her deposition, Ferrer was asked how many times she witnessed behavior on set that she felt crossed professional boundaries.
She answered clearly: “three times.”
One of the moments she described involved Baldoni allegedly referring to one of their intimate scenes as “hot,” a comment she said made her uncomfortable.
“It didn’t seem appropriate in a work environment, and since it wasn’t necessarily a grade of any kind that had to do with my performance,” Ferrer said.
“It felt out of place and strange to hear about a scene, especially a scene that is meant to be a PG scene about two young teenagers having a very innocent intimate experience.”
He added that the scene was never intended to be portrayed as such, explaining: “The way it was described in the script and broken down with the intimacy coordinator is that it shouldn’t have been.” [like this] or any such term.”
Ferrer also recalled another scene in which a suggested change made her uneasy.
She described a moment in the kitchen when her co-star’s character was giving her cookie dough and said Baldoni suggested she lick it off the spoon in a way she felt didn’t fit the context.
“It didn’t make sense to me…since she was 16 and in high school,” Ferrer said.
One of the most disturbing claims she shared involved a conversation her co-star Alex Neustaedter later relayed to her.
According to Ferrer, Baldoni allegedly took Neustaedter aside and encouraged him to “get to know her,” adding a wink to the comment.
Ferrer said he interpreted that gesture as inappropriate.
The open testimony comes alongside other newly released materials related to the case, including messages and statements from additional cast members.
Together, they continue to shape a legal dispute that remains unresolved and continues to rage closely.
