Justin Baldoni launches website about Blake Lively feud with fresh claims just days before first court hearing

The website so far contains two legal documents related to the case. Justin Baldoni has launched a website containing documents and text messages linked to his legal dispute with Blake Lively, his It End With Us co-star, just days before the case’s first court hearing. In December, Lively sued Baldoni, who also directed the film, for sexual harassment and causing her “severe emotional distress”. Baldoni, who has denied the accusations, was subsequently dropped by his agency after the allegations emerged.

Earlier this month, Baldoni sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds for $400m (£321m) for attempting to “destroy” his reputation and career. “This fresh evidence corroborates what we knew all along, that due to purely egotistical reasons Ms. Lively and her entire team colluded for months to destroy reputations through a complex web of lies, false accusations and the manipulation of illicitly received communications,” Freedman added.
“The ongoing public interest in this case online has ironically shed light on the undeniable facts pertaining to The New York Times and how heavily Ms Lively and her representatives were not only deeply involved in the attempted take down and smear campaign of Mr Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and their teams but that they themselves initiated it.”. In response, a spokesperson for the New York Times said: “The Baldoni/Wayfarer legal filings are rife with inaccuracies about The New York Times, including, for example, the bogus claim that The Times had early access to Ms. Lively’s state civil rights complaint,” a Times’ spokesperson said in a statement. “Mr. Baldoni’s lawyers base their erroneous claim on postings by amateur internet sleuths, who, not surprisingly, are wrong. The sleuths have noted that a version of the Lively state complaint published by The Times carries the date ‘December 10’ even though the complaint wasn’t filed until more than a week later. The problem: that date is generated by Google software and is unrelated to the date when The Times received it and posted it.”.
