It appears the hostility between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni will not end with 2024. On the heels of the Dailymail.com's exclusive report Friday that the It Ends with Us actor-director Baldoni, 40, and multiple associates are preparing to file a countersuit against the film's star Lively, 37, when courts open up January 2, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman vowed the contents of the filing will 'shock everyone.'.

'I am not going to speak to when or how many lawsuits we are filing but when we file our first lawsuit, it is going to shock everyone who has been manipulated into believing a demonstrably false narrative,' Freedman on Saturday told Deadline. Freedman said that contents of the countersuit 'will be supported by real evidence and tell the true story' of how things went down between the creatives and their respective publicity teams.

'In over 30 years of practicing, I have never seen this level of unethical behavior intentionally fueled through media manipulation,' Freedman told the outlet. 'It reminds me of what NBC tried to do to Megyn Kelly and Gabrielle Union and we all know how that ended up. Standby.'.
