In a surprising turn of events, trainer Don Saladino found himself in a bit of a pickle after a phone call with actor Justin Baldoni. During a seemingly innocuous chat about workout routines, Baldoni inquired about Blake Lively’s weight. Talk about stepping into treacherous waters! Saladino felt uneasy, believing the question related to an upcoming film scene where Baldoni needed to lift Lively. Adding fuel to the fire, Saladino later told Lively what had transpired, leaving her feeling embarrassed and perplexed by the unsolicited inquiry about her body.

This unexpected exchange has led to some serious legal entanglement. Lively has now filed a lawsuit against Baldoni for emotional distress, alleging that the whole situation sparked significant discomfort. With Baldoni denying any ill intent—claiming his chronic back issues were behind the question—it’s clear this drama may just be heating up. Hollywood seems to have its own set of rules about personal boundaries, and when it comes to talking about weight, opinions are certainly divided. Shouldn’t every actor get a free pass to their weight without the unsolicited commentary?
