A raft of shock new claims have emerged in Justin Baldoni's $400M defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

Court papers obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com accuse Lively and Reynolds of using their combined star power to hijack the domestic abuse movie It Ends With Us, which Baldoni co-starred in and directed. The new defamation action is the latest broadside in a spiraling legal battle that began just before Christmas when Lively sued Baldoni, claiming he sexually harassed her and created a toxic work environment on the set of the film. He has staunchly denied the allegations.
