The drama between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has been taking new turns every day and the internet has been going wild. In recent updates, Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds have formally informed a federal judge that they will be moving to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s 400 million dollar lawsuit. This was after a procedural directive from Judge Lewis Liman on how the case will proceed.
Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds To Dismiss Justin Baldoni’s Case
On Thursday, January 30, the couple’s team reportedly filed this notice. This development comes after Justin’s $400 million lawsuit against Lively for attempting to destroy him with unfounded se*xual misconduct allegations. Filed at the Southern District of New York, the lawsuit also involves Ryan Reynolds, Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane, and her PR company, Vision PR. The It Ends With Us director’s lawsuit involves defamation, extortion, and invasion to privacy.
According to Rolling Stone, Baldoni’s production firm, Wayfarer Studios, as well as a few important individuals, such as CEO Jamey Heath and public relations representatives Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, are also mentioned in the case. In her previous complaint to the California Civil Rights Department, Lively accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her on set and launching a smear campaign against her. Baldoni’s lawsuit was a response to that complaint. Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, denied these claims, claiming they were a deliberate attempt to “fix her negative reputation.” Lively filed a formal lawsuit on December 31 to further intensify the situation.
