Celebrity Feuds

Blake Lively says she has people to corroborate her complaints against Justin Baldoni ... and, while JB and his team want them to reveal their names, there's one major reason they aren't -- they're terrified of receiving the same treatment as the A-list couple.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... it shouldn't come as a surprise that the two cast members from "It Ends with Us" who will testify in support of Blake are hiding their identities -- 'cause they don't want to deal with the abuse like Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are receiving.

Our sources say Steve Sarowitz -- a partner in Wayfarer Studios -- allegedly comparing his retaliatory plan to Israel's campaign against Hamas, plus his willingness to empty coffers to take them down, would rattle anyone ... especially those just getting started in the industry!

As you know ... Blake filed an amended complaint earlier this week in which she said multiple people from the 'IEWU' set would come forward to corroborate her claims of sexual harassment against Justin Baldoni.

She didn't reveal their names ... and Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, blasted the whole complaint as hearsay -- from people who were "clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims."

Baldoni’s camp tells TMZ … "Ms. Lively, Mr. Reynolds, and their paid representatives initiated this campaign which has severely impacted many private individuals, their livelihoods, and their families.

"Since they’ve yet to show any evidence and continue to blame others for the online vitriol resulting from their own actions, they are now speaking on behalf of alleged third parties who have not come forward themselves.

"Wayfarer, Justin, and their representatives have no ill will nor vendetta against anyone who speaks up in any circumstance and have first-hand experience with and empathy for the struggles of going against incredibly powerful individuals in pursuit of the truth."

Justin and Blake are both living their lives in spite of the growing legal fray ... with Justin cooling off in Hawaii, while Blake hit the Big Apple for the "Saturday Night Live" 50th anniversary special last weekend.

Blake Lively says Justin Baldoni not only sexually harassed her, but he also made two other women feel "uncomfortable" on the set of "It Ends With Us," and both are willing to testify against him at trial, according to a new court filing.

Last night, Blake filed an amended complaint to her original lawsuit against Baldoni, which lays out new allegations that paint Justin in a negative light.

In the 141-page document, Blake says she was "not alone" in complaining about Baldoni and raising concerns about his behavior during their work together on the movie produced by Sony and Wayfarer starting in 2023.

Kevin Spacey is vehemently denying Guy Pearce's allegation he was "targeted" by Spacey on a movie set back in the day ... and Kevin's taking shots at Guy too.

The "House of Cards" star just posted a video response to some recent comments Guy made about him ... telling Guy straight up he's not a victim.

Kevin says Guy's claim that Spacey targeted him when they were filming the 1997 movie "L.A. Confidential" is bogus ... and he's ripping Pearce for coming after him in the media.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were the hot topic of conversation among guests at 'Saturday Night Live's 50th-anniversary show and after-party — and it all had to do with the couple's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni ... TMZ has learned.

Three sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... lots of stars who attended the 'SNL' events on Sunday night were "confused" as to why Blake and Ryan appeared at the show while they battle it out in court with Baldoni over drama surrounding the movie, "It Ends With Us."

As you know, the two sides have accused each other of waging smear campaigns, and Blake has also claimed Justin sexually harassed her while on the movie set.

Drake's not letting up on NBA star DeMar DeRozan ... a fan proved the beef is still going strong after seeing his jersey get tossed!!!

The Boy was performing during his first Sydney show of his "Anita Max Wynn" Australia tour Sunday when a DeRozan jersey was flung in his direction as he performed "Rich Flex."

After straightening out the wrinkles and realizing it was a DD jersey, Drake switched sports and spiked the shirt like a football straight off the stage!!!

Marlon Wayans created his "creth-head" jab at Soulja Boy to TMZ in real-time and the funnyman is taking a step further ... using the powers of artificial intelligence to rip the "Crank Dat" rapper a new one with a honky talk diss track!!!

Flavor Flav also catches a stray on the song to describe SB's appearance ... "Soulja Boy's on crinack and meth / I can smell it on his breath ... He'll suck on caulk just for that rock / He look like Flavor Flav without the clock / He's the c*** that jumped over the moon."

Ryan Reynolds made a laughing matter out of his and Blake Lively's nasty legal battle with Justin Baldoni at 'SNL 50' Sunday night ... appearing briefly in a bit as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler surveyed the crowd for celebrity guests.

Check out the clip ... the "Saturday Night Live" icons ask him ... "How’s it going?" to which he quips ... "Great! Why, what have you heard?"

Fans can see Blake was all smiles as her hubby got some camera time ... though she looked like she saw a ghost when he asked his rhetorical question.

The Hip Hop world is currently hovering around Drake's subliminal shots toward Kendrick Lamar and others from his new R&B album, "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" but let DJ Akademiks spoke to Drake and concludes the project his Drizzy putting the beef in the rearview mirror!!!

Big Ak joined TMZ Live on Friday to give his breakdown of Drake's new joint project with PartyNextDoor and tells us he chatting with Drake ahead of the album's release ... The Boy never planned to make the LP a Kendrick response record.

There are a few digs, Drake mocked the thought of strippers dancing to dictionaries to decipher Kendrick's lyrics on the song "Gimme a Hug" and referenced the diss of the moment on the track "Celibacy" ... "F***, I guess it's up and it's stuck/We'rе not like them, baby, and they're not like us, either one."

1:22 PM PT -- Bryan Freedman tells TMZ, "Mr. Ari Emanuel is notably one of the best agents, and clearly the most loyal, in Hollywood. As I understand it, Justin hasn’t been called ‘Bologna’ since the fifth grade. Perhaps Ari’s perspective would be different if they had ever met in the half decade they were clients of his agency."

Ari Emanuel, CEO of William Morris Endeavor, is mocking Justin Baldoni and throwing his support behind Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ... explaining why he fired Baldoni from his talent agency.

The Hollywood honcho speaks out on the "It Ends With Us" drama in an upcoming "Freakonomics" podcast appearance with host Stephen Dubner.

Ari takes a few colorful shots at Justin, his former client at WME ... saying, "I mean it is a f***ed up, bad situation what Bologna ... Baldoni ... whatever his name is ... is doing."

Justin Baldoni is turning his focus away from the Blake Lively legal war and focusing on surfing ... catching waves in Hawaii ... and looking absolutely ripped.

Surfing's a pretty grueling workout -- for the legs, core and upper body -- and Justin is seeing the results ... dude's looking like a total hunk.

Tekashi 6ix9ine says a ghoulish package was delivered to his Florida home Thursday ... a fake casket emblazoned with the name of his slain nemesis King Von, TMZ has learned.

He's proudly showing it off, too, broadcasting it live on his IG page ... while flashing it to fans who are lining Philadelphia streets to cheer on the new NFL champs.

Blake Lively wants to go through Justin Baldoni's phone, and she's now fired off a legal demand to get that done ... in hopes of finding a "smear campaign" smoking gun.

Blake's attorneys sent subpoenas to 3 phone carriers -- AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon -- used by Justin, publicists Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan, "It Ends With Us" producer Jamey Heath, crisis manager Jed Wallace and Steve Sarowitz, the co-founder of Justin's Wayfarer Studios.

Remember, text messages from and between Abel and Nathan were already prominently featured in Blake's lawsuit against Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and a conspiracy to retaliate against her by destroying her image and career.

Marlon Wayans is currently entangled in a gnarly war of words with Soulja Boy ... but being the comedic veteran, he's the one giving out last laughs at the rapper's expense!!!

TMZ caught up with Marlon in West Hollywood last night and he couldn't resist an impromptu stand-up roast in Soulja Boy's direction.

Last month, Marlon ribbed SB a bit for performing at President Donald Trump's Crypto Ball, and the "Crank Dat" rapper finally decided to respond this week after releasing his latest album.

A bunch of major celebs collectively gave Hitler-loving rapper Kanye West the middle finger in an online video ... but it turns out it's all just a deepfake.

The stars were featured in a minute-long clip created by Ori Bejerano using artificial intelligence, and it showed a montage of very familiar faces.

Drake, Jerry Seinfeld, Mark Zuckerberg, Adam Sandler, Steven Spielberg, Mila Kunis, Ben Stiller and David Schwimmer were among the notables dressed in the same white T-shirt emblazoned with a Jewish Star of David drawn on the back of a hand giving the bird. "Kanye" is written underneath the hand.
