NEW YORK — “It Ends With Us” actress Isabela Ferrer, who starred as the younger version of Blake Lively’s character, claims director Justin Baldoni harassed and attempted to “bully” her amid his enduring legal saga with Lively.

Late last year, the “Gossip Girl” alum, 37, accused 41-year-old Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of “It Ends With Us” and waging a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni denied all of Lively’s allegations in a $400 million defamation countersuit that has since been tossed. Lively’s case is still set to go to trial in New York next March.

Ferrer, 24, has now filed a rebuttal to Baldoni’s Aug. 12 motion, in which he dubbed her unresponsive to his multiple attempts to issue a subpoena, People reports.

Lively subpoenaed Ferrer in February in relation to the Baldoni legal battle.

This prompted Ferrer to call on Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios to pay her legal fees through an indemnification clause, which the latter allegedly only agreed to uphold if Ferrer would “surrender control” of her response to Lively’s subpoena.

Agreeing to that stipulation would “not actually [allow] Ms. Ferrer to provide the documents that reveal the true facts,” according to her filing.

Instead, she says it was “a transparent attempt to put financial pressure” on her and that once she did respond to Lively’s subpoena, the Baldoni parties began “improperly attempting to exert control over” her.

“Baldoni made no effort to tailor the [new] subpoena towards the production of new or different materials, demonstrating that the real aim of the Baldoni Subpoena, as well as the pending Motion, is to harass Ms. Ferrer,” she alleges, per People.

Ferrer wants the Aug. 12 motion denied and called on the court to “consider appropriate sanctions against Baldoni for his bad faith tactics,” dubbing that motion “the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms. Ferrer,” according to Rolling Stone.

Just last month, Lively sat for her long-awaited deposition in the case, which took place at her lawyer’s office in New York City and was attended by Baldoni.
