Lively and Baldoni, who starred together in the 2024 film It Ends With Us, have been locked in a legal battle since December when Lively first sued Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and accused the actor of orchestrating a campaign to “destroy” her reputation.
McCawley further alleged: “When Ms Lively bravely spoke up about Baldoni's predatory behaviour, he and his team used every weapon in their arsenal to blame, embarrass and silence her, going so far as to hire a crisis PR manager who promised to 'bury' Ms Lively and 'destroy' her life.”.
In the lawsuit filed on 1 January in New York federal court, Lively accused Baldoni and his PR team of organising a sophisticated scheme to undermine her reputation, in retaliation for speaking up about alleged misconduct on set.
Baldoni responded by suing The New York Times for $250 million, claimed that Reynolds had “aggressively berated him” and later filed a countersuit alleging that Lively and her team had “orchestrated” a “vicious smear campaign” against him.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ publicist, Leslie Sloane, has requested to be removed from the $400 million lawsuit filed by It Ends With Us star Justin Baldoni last month.
