    “It Ends With Us” actress Isabela Ferrer is accusing Justin Baldoni of “harassing” her for information after he subpoenaed her in his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively.

    Lawyers for Ferrer — who played the younger version of Lively’s character, Lily Bloom, in the film — filed a rebuttal to Baldoni’s Aug. 12 motion claiming she has been unresponsive to his subpoena, People reported Monday.

    The rebuttal alleged that Baldoni filed the motion “for improper purposes and with the aim of harassing” Ferrer.

    According to the outlet, Ferrer’s team also alleged that Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios didn’t honor her acting contract requiring them to pay her legal fees when she was first subpoenaed by Lively in February for any relevant communication in the “Gossip Girl” alum’s sexual harassment case against Baldoni.

    Ferrer’s team claimed that Wayfarer Studios agreed to compensate her only if she would “surrender control” of her response, “not actually allowing Ms. Ferrer to provide the documents that reveal the true facts.”

    “Baldoni made no effort to tailor the 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,” the rebuttal said, according to People.

    Baldoni’s subpoena and motion “are transparent efforts to exert pressure on Ms. Ferrer,” her rebuttal also claimed.

    Ferrer’s lawyers are asking the court to deny Baldoni’s motion and to impose sanctions on him.

    Reps for Ferrer, 24, and Baldoni, 41, didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

    She’s also suing his publicists for allegedly orchestrating a subsequent smear campaign against her, although her claims against social media PR specialist Jed Wallace were dismissed last month.

    Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion in January.

    However, a judge tossed out his $400 million suit in June.
