Rossella Rago made shocking allegations against Blake Lively stating, "She would burp and fart in the middle of the set - and act like we were lucky to be smelling her farts. She was very unpleasant to work with. I just don't know how else to say it."

In response, Justin Baldoni has denied all allegations. Through his legal team, he has filed a USD 400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds.

Rago stated in her video that Blake threw Justin "under the bus". "She's used to being adored, and when she's not, s''t gets real. Baldoni has found out how real it gets," said Rago.

Amid the ongoing lawsuit, Rago felt Blake had a sense of entitlement and privilege to have her way. "She believes she has the right to behave exactly as she wants. And how dare we make a fuss? She couldn't handle that people didn't frigging like her and she was looking like an a''hole," she added.
