Legal dispute by Blake Lively: Cooperation with former CIA employees

New developments in the legal dispute between Blake Lively (37) and Justin Baldoni (41). The actress once again drives heavy guns. With the PR manager Nick Shapiro, she gets a former deputy chief of staff of the CIA,

Shapiro should have over 20 years of experience in crisis management. He also worked for the White House under ex-US President Barack Obama (63) and worked as a consultant for the CIA director.

At the end of last year, Lively had lodged a complaint against her co-star and director of “only once” to the California civil rights authority. Baldoni added “serious emotional suffering” to her during the filming. Among other things, she accused him of showing her explicit pictures and videos during the production of the film, asking her about her personal sex life and trying to insert intimate scenes into the film that were not originally in the script.

In addition, Baldoni supposedly tried to damage Lively’s reputation with a coordinated campaign in order to make her accusations appear unbelievable.

In January, Baldoni filed a lawsuit himself. Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds (48) accused them of defamation and called for a payment payment of at least $ 400 million. LIVELY and REYNOLDS would therefore have tried to “only steal” from him once and to “destroy” Baldoni with false claims. In addition to defamation, he accuses the defendant a form of blackmail and the violation of his privacy.
