Blake Lively against Justin Baldoni and vice versa – one lawsuit follows another
Things are simmering in Hollywood. Blake Lively is feuding with Justin Baldoni. Just in time for the turn of the year, the legal disputes enter another round.
Shortly before the end of the year there was another big bang in Hollywood. US actress Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against her “Just One More Time” co-star and director Justin Baldoni, causing a sensation. The allegations are serious. Baldoni now fires back. Just in time for the new year, he filed a lawsuit against the New York Times. However, Lively doesn’t let that discourage her. On the contrary. Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds’ wife has also taken further legal action.
US media, , reported a few days before Christmas that Lively had filed a lawsuit against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department. The relevant documents spoke of sexual harassment and a coordinated attempt to destroy the actress’ reputation. It was also noted, among other things, that Baldoni’s alleged behavior had caused the Livelys family “severe emotional suffering.” His side distanced itself and spoke of false accusations.
Blake Lively speaks of “sinister retaliation tactics”
In one, Blake Lively said, “I hope my lawsuit will help lift the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics that harm people who speak out about wrongdoing – and protect others who may be targeted.” Now, according to US reports, she has once again formally filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York against Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and other parties.
Plus the actress’s legal team. The decision to speak about the matter “unfortunately led to further retaliation and attacks”: “The defendants will now have to answer for their behavior in federal court.”
These friends and Hollywood stars support Blake Lively
Her biggest support these days is probably her husband Ryan Reynolds. The actor was creatively involved in the film’s script and is also said to have been involved in crisis discussions with Baldoni and those responsible for the film. The couple has been married since 2012 and has four children together
