In addition, it will follow the steps of other productions on the same case, such as He Said, She Said: Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni of ITN Productions.
What happened?
Last December, the actress accused both Baldoni and Wayfarer studies of carrying out a “several level plan” to damage Lively’s reputation after she complained about “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviors” suffered during filming. The plan, according to the demand, included a campaign on social networks and the publication of news to damage the reputation of Lively, during the film promotion tour. In the complaint this Thursday, Baldoni’s lawyers claim that Lively “eliberately and systematically snatched his film from the plaintiffs” and also “used threats and extortion” to prevent her companions “to attend her own premiere while she enjoyed the spotlights.”
After this, Baldoni filed against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. In the lawsuit, which was made in a federal court of the Big Apple, the director accuses both actors, Leslie Sloane – publicist of Lively – and the Vision PR, Civil Extortion Representation Agency, Civil Extortion, Defamation, and breach of the implicit pact of good faith and loyalty at work, among other things. Baldoni’s lawyers ask the Court to hold a trial and that their client receives at least 400 million dollars as damages.
Specifically, Baldoni accused Lively of wanting to end him by collaborating with the newspaper The New York Times In an article that talked about the complaint he had filed before the California Civil Rights Department, in which he blamed the actor for sexual harassment and reprisals.
However, Lively’s lawyers say she had “legal right to file her complaint and disseminate her to the public”, including the press. Subsequently, Lively also presented a motion in which he requests that this demand with which the actor who was his co -star in the film asks him for compensation of 400 million dollars be dismissed. Baldoni has denied all accusations of sexual harassment and reprisals presented by Lively, whose demand will come to trial on March 9, 2026.
