Justin Baldoni's Body Double on ‘Tense' Set Dynamics Amid Lawsuit Drama
As Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's legal battle continues to develop, his body double recalled the 'tense' environment on the sets of 'It Ends With Us.' Thomas Canestraro described the dynamic between the co-stars and the considerable delays in the schedule.
'You could tell that the set was tense. There was some discomfort from everybody,' Canestraro told the Daily Mail. He revealed that his five-day filming schedule in New Jersey turned out to be a two-week job. Initially, he was confused while thinking about the reason. However, given the alleged on-set dynamic, Canestraro suspected tension between Baldoni and Lively.
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Justin Baldoni's body double, Thomas Canestraro, explained Blake Lively's reserved behavior on the 'It Ends With Us' set. He noticed that he had an 'easy time' working with the 'Gossip Girl' actor during the 2018 film, 'A Simple Favor.' However, on the 2024 movie set, Lively seemed 'more closed off.'
Canestraro further told the tabloid that her husband, Ryan Reynolds, often visited her on the set. Baldoni's body double recalled, 'Originally, I came on set my first day, Ryan is on set, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God. What a cool thing,' it's like when I was in 'A Simple Favor.'' He remembered thinking, 'What a supportive husband who just came on set to cheer his wife … I just love that about them, that's a cool synergy in that couple.' However, things became clear after coming across news headlines about Lively's sexual harassment case against Baldoni.
Moreover, Canestraro alleged that he would not take any sides. He understood why Reynolds made appearances on the film set. The 38-year-old body double also noted that the dispute might have affected Baldoni as well. Canestraro even hoped the two actors 'can find an agreement.' He further said, 'We don't need that in the industry. At the same time, you can't discredit anybody's feeling, and anybody's experience.'
The legal battle between the 'It Ends With Us' co-stars started in December. In the lawsuit, she accused her co-star of sexual assault on the film set. In response, Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit against the married couple and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, denying the allegations.

Love Island USA Couple Have Sex in the Villa
Season 7 of Love Island USA is on fire! While many couples are still exploring, one couple has been the exception. Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa became a couple from the jump, and have only been interested in each other. The couple even scored the first date of the season, and they hit up a water park. How romantic! Well, now the duo has taken their relationship even further. While Huda and Jeremiah have encouraged each other to explore, they also don't want anyone else. Viewers have seen the couple shower together. So, maybe the fact that they had sex isn't such a shock. Jeremiah and Huda did the deed during Episode 12, and they were caught on night-vision camera getting busy in the villa. Of course, they are also in a room full of other people, in close proximity. Islander Cierra Ortega found out the details. 'You had sex?' she asked Huda privately. 'Low-key, yeah. I won't give details on when or how, but all I will say is that it did happen,' Huda replied. I'm guessing that when it happened wasn't a mystery to the rest of the Love Island USA cast. However, there could be trouble ahead for the duo. Summer House star Paige DeSorbo hosted the show's next challenge, titled 'Got Wood.' When Jeremy selected Oliandra Carthen's name, he went in for a full kiss. Previously, he gave other contestants a peck on the cheek because of his respect for Huda. 'A challenge is a challenge. I'm not going to go in there and not do nothing because I'm scared,' Jeremiah said in his confessional. 'I'm here to play, I'm here to do the challenge.' The couple previously hit a bumpy patch when Huda revealed that she has a daughter. After overcoming his surprise, Jeremiah seemed cool with Huda's news. Only time will tell if this couple will go the distance. Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HUDA AND JEREMIAH HAVING SEX IN THE VILLA? WAS IT A MISTAKE?

Megan Thee Stallion Brings Hot Girl Summer to Love Island USA
Season 7 of Love Island USA was already spicy, but the show keeps leveling up. I'm obsessed! Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo hosted a lumberjack game for the islanders. And there was a naughty Leather and Lace party. Plus, for the first time, America voted and chose partners for three bombshells. And some islanders were spinning out afterwards. However, now the show has cranked the heat to scorching new levels because Megan Thee Stallion is serving up a Hot Girl Summer for the islanders. After the blind re-coupling and America's vote recoupling, some of the islanders weren't happy. When America picked Hannah Fields to couple with bombshell Pepe Garcia, she had been planning to stay in a couple with Charlie Georgiou. However, Charlie was voted off, so Hannah moved on. But she seems like she misses Charlie. Meanwhile, America tore apart Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa. And they were the first couple (so far) to have sex in the villa. When Jeremiah was coupled with Iris Kendall, Huda was furious. However, their relationship had a toxic dynamic that was wearing on Jeremiah. And I was living for Amaya Espinal's hostile competition with her former partner, Ace Greene. You know you shouldn't have picked her, Ace! So, in essence, a hot twerking contest is what this group needed. TMZ reported that Megan brought her sexy moves and had the islanders compete in a twerking contest. Oh, Lord! You may need to keep a cool drink on hand for those sultry shenanigans! Plus, Love Island USA reportedly had 1.2 billion minutes streamed in less than one week. And that was across nine episodes! Season 7 is killing it, because it took last season almost one month to hit a billion minutes streamed. Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock.
