Justin Baldoni plans to countersue Blake Lively after she filed lawsuits alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign. Baldoni's lawyer stated their intention to release text messages and documents to demonstrate the truth.
Justin Baldoni 'absolutely' plans to sue Blake Lively back amid their spiraling legal battle, his attorney announced this Thursday. Lively first sued on December 20, accusing Baldoni of sexually harassing her and fostering a toxic work environment on the set of their film It Ends With Us, in which he both directed her and acted with her. He has staunchly denied the allegations.
In the first complaint, she also claimed Baldoni worked to tarnish her reputation with a team including his publicist Jennifer Abel and crisis PR Melissa Nathan, who previously worked with Johnny Depp. Abel has denied waging a 'smear campaign.' Lively, 37, then launched more formal complaint on New Year's Eve, doubling down on her accusations. She filed her first complaint last month with the California Civil Rights Commission, but is now suing Baldoni, 40, in federal court in New York. Her New Year's Eve filing came on the same day Baldoni initiated a $250M libel action against the New York Times for its bombshell report on Lively's first complaint. Now Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman has declared the actor intends to sue Lively herself, telling NBC: 'We plan to release every single text messages between the two of them . We want the truth to be out there. We want the documents to be out there. We want people to make their determination based on receipts.' A source with knowledge of the case claimed that Baldoni's lawsuit against Lively will be launched 'soon', according to People
