This comes when the actress of Gossip Girl late on Tuesday evening and claimed that the two actresses on the set also had uncomfortable experiences with her, ends with the American director and co-star.
A source for DailyMail.com has disputed these claims while they said: 'Blake is really linked to the straws. It was said that she has these smoking guns and she really has nothing. Her changed complaint is unfounded.
'Bottom Line is this, Justin has not harassed any other woman on the set. No HR complaint was submitted by a woman – including Blake. If he did, wouldn't he be the first place where they would go? '
The insider then immediately started calling two female castmembers from the drama film, including Isabela Ferrer and Jenny Slate.
They said: 'Isabella actually praised Justin. She wrote about how great he was to work with. And Jenny Slate wants nothing to do with this. She has made it clear to them several people.
'It seems unlikely that Blake even has one woman who is willing to come forward and go on a record to confirm her claims. In the changed complaint there are no SMS messages, e -mails, signals, WhatsApp's or something about these alleged women. Justin has coupons. He has factual evidence in his defense and it seems that Blake has nothing to support her claims. '

“It is important, however, that this victim witness Mrs. Lively permission to share their communication in the changed complaint while they are classified, and they will produce witnesses and documents in the discovery process,” the spokesperson said.
The complaint would contain 'considerably simultaneous evidence' that Blake was not only in increasing allegations of on-set misconduct, along with 'confirmation of its original claims'.
It is said that it also claims that 'evidence about the threats, intimidation and intimidation' of not only blake, but 'countless innocent bystanders'.
