The Hollywood actress took the internet by storm after filing a complaint in December against her costar, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation during the filming and promotion of ‘It Ends with Us.
The feud between the two Hollywood stars further intensified after the New York Times published a story detailing the alleged smear campaign by Justin Baldoni and his team.
Later, his legal team announced their plans to file a countersuit to debunk the claims made by Blake Lively.
“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,” his lawyer Bryan Freedman said in his statement.

The ‘It Ends with US’ star and director later filed a lawsuit against the US publication for publishing an article ‘rife with inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions’ that relied on a ‘self-serving narrative’ of Blake Lively.
Reacting to the lawsuit and Baldoni’s team’s statement, Blake Lively’s legal team has accused him of launching “more attacks” in the media.
“Ms. Lively’s federal litigation before the Southern District of New York involves serious claims of sexual harassment and retaliation, backed by concrete facts. This is not a ‘feud’ arising from ‘creative differences; or a ‘he said/she said’ situation,” the legal team said in a statement.
“As alleged in Ms. Lively’s complaint, and as we will prove in litigation, Wayfarer and its associates engaged in unlawful, retaliatory astroturfing against Ms. Lively for simply trying to protect herself and others on a film set. And their response to the lawsuit has been to launch more attacks against Ms. Lively since her filing,” they added.
