Justin Baldoni is facing another legal battle.
Following the dismissal of a $400 million lawsuit brought by the director of It Ends With Us against the New York Times – the suit concerned an article about his split with Blake Lively and accusations of a smear campaign – the newspaper is now suing the Wayfarer Studios filmmaker for punitive damages.
According to documents submitted on September 30th and reviewed by People on October 2nd, NYT initiated a claim “to recover costs, fees and expenses” as part of its legal battle with Baldoni. The original dispute was filed in December and then dismissed in June.
The newspaper, stating it would strongly fight Baldoni’s original lawsuit, is now asking for both compensatory and punitive damages from people-like Wayfarer-who start or continue weak legal cases with the intention of harassing, threatening, punishing, or unfairly blocking free speech.”
The New York Times is requesting at least $150,000 in compensation as part of a legal claim. TopMob News has contacted representatives for Baldoni for comment on the lawsuit, but they haven’t responded yet.
I’m hearing from Bryan Freedman, who represents director Baldoni, that he’s absolutely prepared to vigorously defend himself against the lawsuit brought by the New York Times. He’s not backing down, that’s for sure!
Regardless of the outcome, we won’t give in to influential people, even when things look hopeless,” Freedman stated in a release to People. “We remain steadfast because we are dedicated to finding the truth, even when facing powerful opposition.”
Freedman then indirectly criticized the anti-SLAPP law-rules designed to stop people from suing those exercising their First Amendment rights-that the NYT mentioned in its legal documents. Freedman also stated, “If existing laws offer this level of protection to established media outlets, maybe it’s our responsibility to push for a change.”
This isn’t the first legal issue Baldoni has dealt with recently. After Lively submitted her civil lawsuit against the Jane the Virgin actor, it triggered a series of legal battles between both parties.
Even though Baldoni’s lawsuits against NYT and Lively were dropped, Lively’s case against Baldoni, which was filed in January, is still ongoing. Just recently, a man reportedly tried to deliver deposition papers for Baldoni to Taylor Swift, a friend of Lively’s, and was arrested outside the Kansas City home of her fiancé, Travis Kelce, according to several news sources.
A report from the Leawood Police Department states that a person was arrested at a home around 2 a.m. on September 15th. He was accused of criminal trespassing, which is a misdemeanor, and was released after paying bail.
Just a few days before, Judge Lewis Liman, the judge handling the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni, rejected Baldoni’s request for more time to have Swift give a deposition.
TopMob News contacted representatives for Swift, Baldoni, and Lively for comment on the situation, but they didn’t respond. To understand the continuing legal issues involving the It Ends With Us stars, continue reading…
Four months after the movie version of Colleen Hoover‘s book It Ends With Us came out in theaters, Blake Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) on Dec. 20, regarding Justin Baldoni and those connected to him, as reported by The New York Times.
According to the complaint, which TopMob News obtained, those named as defendants include Baldoni, his production company Wayfarer Studios (Wayfarer), its CEO Jamey Heath, cofounder Steve Sarowitz, Baldoni’s publicist Jennifer Abel, her company RWA Communications, crisis communications specialist Melissa Nathan, her company The Agency Group PR LLC (TAG), contractor Jed Wallace and his company Street Relations Inc.
Lively claims in the complaint that Baldoni and those at Wayfarer began a planned public relations and online effort to get back at her for raising concerns about alleged wrongdoing on set. She states that she and other people working on the film “experienced invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional and sexually inappropriate behavior” from Baldoni and Heath.
The actress also said this alleged campaign caused significant personal and professional damage.
The complaint details accusations of sexual harassment; retaliation; failure to investigate, prevent, or fix harassment; helping and encouraging harassment and retaliation; breaking the terms of a contract; intentionally causing emotional distress; negligence; spreading false information that harmed her reputation; and interfering with her future job opportunities.
The following day, The New York Times published a story detailing what Lively claimed was a deliberate effort by Baldoni and those working with him to discredit her-based on the complaint she filed with the CRD. The article included messages from Baldoni’s team, such as his publicist, Abel, and crisis communications expert, Nathan, which were part of her legal filing. The New York Times also made the court documents available for readers to view on its website.
“I hope that my legal action helps expose these harmful tactics used against those who report wrongdoing,” Lively stated to the publication, “and offers protection to others who might find themselves in a similar situation.”
Following the news of Lively’s complaint, Bryan Freedman-the attorney representing Baldoni, Wayfarer and its team-strongly refuted Lively’s claims.
“It’s disappointing that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and demonstrably false accusations against Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and those associated with them, seemingly as a last-ditch effort to repair her damaged reputation. This reputation suffered due to her own statements and behavior during the film’s promotion-public interviews and press events that were viewed live and unedited, allowing the public to form their own opinions,” he stated on The New York Times website. “These accusations are entirely false, shocking, and deliberately designed to harm Mr. Baldoni and revive a negative storyline in the media.”
Freedman also justified Wayfarer’s choice to engage a crisis manager, explaining that this occurred before the film’s marketing began.
“The Wayfarer Studios team took no aggressive steps nor retaliated in any way, only responding to media inquiries to ensure fair and accurate reporting and keeping an eye on social media activity,” he continued. “What’s conspicuously absent from the selectively shared communication is proof that no proactive steps were taken with the media or otherwise-only internal planning and private discussions for strategy, which is standard practice for public relations professionals.”
Talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME) ended its relationship with Baldoni after The New York Times published an article on December 21, confirmed by Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, the agency’s parent company.
However, WME stated that Ryan Reynolds, Lively’s husband, wasn’t the reason for their split with Baldoni. Baldoni later claimed in a lawsuit against The New York Times that Reynolds was responsible (details below).
“Baldoni’s lawsuit alleges that Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere. This is false,” WME-which also represents Reynolds and Lively-said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on January 1. “Baldoni’s former agent wasn’t at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, and neither Reynolds nor Lively ever pressured the agency to drop Baldoni as a client.”
Following Lively’s CRD filing and The New York Times article, many well-known individuals publicly responded to her accusations against Baldoni-including It Ends With Us author Hoover.
On Instagram Stories on December 21, Hoover wrote, “@blakelively, you have always been honest, kind, supportive and patient since we first met.” She also included a link to The New York Times, adding, “Thank you for being exactly who you are. Never change. Never wilt.”
Jenny Slate, who played the sister of Baldoni’s character Ryle, also expressed her support for Lively.
“As Blake Lively’s colleague and friend, I want to publicly support her as she addresses the reported attack on her reputation,” Slate stated in a December 23 statement to Today. “Blake is a leader, a loyal friend, and someone I, along with many others who know and love her, deeply trust for emotional support.”
“The details of the attack on Blake are deeply troubling, disturbing, and frankly, threatening,” she continued. “I applaud my friend, admire her courage, and stand with her completely.”
Additionally, Brandon Sklenar-who played a love interest for Lively’s character Lily Bloom-shared a screenshot of the complaint as published on The New York Times‘ website and urged people to read it, linking to the outlet.
Furthermore, Lively’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn announced that they “stand with her in solidarity.”
Liz Plank announced on December 23rd that she was leaving The Man Enough Podcast, which she co-hosted with Baldoni and Heath.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote, “I’m letting you know that my representatives have informed Wayfarer I will no longer be co-hosting The Man Enough podcast.” She expressed her gratitude to listeners, saying, “Thank you for trusting me with your hearts and stories, for holding space for mine, and for making this show what it was. I will miss you so much. I love what this community created together, and that’s because of you.”
Plank didn’t explain why she was leaving the podcast, but her announcement came shortly after Lively publicly shared concerns about Baldoni and those connected to his Wayfarer organization.
In her message, the author also stated, “As this chapter closes, I remain committed to the values we’ve built together.” She thanked her followers for their support over the past four years, adding, “We all deserve better, and I know that together, we can create it.”
Plank concluded by saying, “I will have more to share soon as I process everything. In the meantime, I will continue to support those who speak out against injustice and hold people accountable.”
As a longtime follower of the industry, I was shocked to learn that Stephanie Jones, Baldoni’s former publicist, and her agency, Jonesworks LLC, are suing him! The lawsuit, filed on December 24th in New York, also names his company Wayfarer, his current publicist Abel, and crisis communications specialist Nathan.
According to the suit, which I was able to read, Abel and Nathan allegedly spent months secretly plotting to damage Jones and Jonesworks’ reputation, break contracts, and steal clients. They supposedly worked with Baldoni and Wayfarer to launch a smear campaign against his co-star, and then tried to make it look like Jones was responsible – even though she had no idea it was happening! It’s a really serious accusation.
Interestingly, Abel’s LinkedIn profile shows she used to work *at* Jonesworks until last summer. The lawsuit claims that Abel and Nathan are now trying to deflect blame onto Jones as their own actions are being exposed, and are continuing to defame her within the industry.
The suit also states that Baldoni and Wayfarer, who are no longer clients of Jonesworks, refused to honor their contracts and wouldn’t even try to resolve the issue privately through arbitration. It’s a messy situation all around.
I saw that TopMob News reached out to all the defendants for a statement, but I haven’t seen any updates yet.
According to a December 23rd report in Variety, Lively’s lawyers stated they received the text messages published in The New York Times article through a legal request to Jonesworks. Freedman, who represents Nathan and Abel, as well as Baldoni and those connected to Wayfarer, also told the publication that none of his clients were asked to provide information about this matter. He further stated his intention to sue Jones for sharing messages from Abel’s phone with Lively’s legal team.
Baldoni, Wayfarer, Heath, Sarowitz, Nathan, TAG, Abel, RWA Communications, Wallace and Street Relations filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times Dec. 31.
In the suit obtained by TopMob, The New York Times was accused of libel, false light invasion of privacy, promissory fraud and breach of implied-in-fact contract for its article about a retaliatory smear campaign the plaintiffs allegedly conducted against Lively after she voiced concerns about purported misconduct on set.
Saying the report was “false” and based on Lively’s CRD complaint, the plaintiffs denied the accusations and alleged messages cited in the article and complaint were taken out of context.
“Despite its claim to have ‘reviewed these along with other documents[,]’ the Times relied almost entirely on Lively’s unverified and self-serving narrative,” the lawsuit said, “lifting it nearly verbatim while disregarding an abundance of evidence that contradicted her claims and exposed her true motives.”
They alleged “it was Lively, not Plaintiffs, who engaged in a calculated smear campaign.” She denied this.
The New York Times said it planned to “vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”
“The role of an independent news organization is to follow the facts where they lead,” it stated to TopMob. “Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported. It was based on a review of thousands of pages of original documents, including the text messages and emails that we quote accurately and at length in the article.”
On that same day, Lively initiated legal action against Baldoni, Wayfarer, Heath, Sarowitz, the production company It Ends With Us Movie LLC, Nathan, Nathan’s company TAG, and Abel in New York.
Court documents obtained by TopMob News reveal she is suing them for sexual harassment, retaliation, failure to address and stop harassment, assisting in harassment and retaliation, breaking their contract, intentionally causing emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and violating her privacy by portraying her in a false light.
These accusations were initially outlined in the complaint Lively filed with the CRD earlier in the month.
Regarding the lawsuit Baldoni and his colleagues filed against The New York Times-which did not include her as a defendant-Lively’s lawyers stated to TopMob that “nothing in this lawsuit alters the claims” in her CRD and federal complaints.
“This lawsuit is built on the clearly untrue idea that Ms. Lively’s administrative complaint against Wayfarer and others was a trick designed to avoid suing Baldoni and Wayfarer, and that ‘her ultimate goal was never litigation,’” they added. “As shown by the federal complaint Ms. Lively filed today, that perspective on the Wayfarer lawsuit is inaccurate.”
In a lawsuit brought by Baldoni and his colleagues against The New York Times, the plaintiffs indicated they weren’t finished with their legal actions.
Court documents revealed, “There are others responsible,” and emphasized, “This won’t be the only lawsuit filed.”
During a January 2nd interview with NBC News, Baldoni and Wayfarer’s lawyer, Freedman, confirmed they “absolutely” intended to sue Lively.
The news surrounding Baldoni and Lively continued to develop.
For example, people on social media guessed that Lively’s husband, Reynolds, playfully teased Baldoni in his film Deadpool & Wolverine by using the character Nicepool.
Reynolds hasn’t spoken publicly about these rumors, but Baldoni’s attorney, Freedman, did share his thoughts.
“My take is this: if your wife experiences sexual harassment, you don’t joke about Justin Baldoni,” Freedman explained during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, which was posted to YouTube on January 7. “You don’t make light of the situation. You treat it with seriousness, file complaints with HR, bring it up officially, and follow the proper legal steps. You absolutely don’t mock the person involved or turn it into a joke.”
Meanwhile, Lively’s attorneys have stated that she has faced further “attacks” since filing her lawsuit.
“Ms. Lively’s federal case in the Southern District of New York raises serious accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation, supported by solid evidence,” her legal team said in a statement to TopMob News on Jan. 7. “This isn’t a simple ‘disagreement’ over creative choices or a matter of conflicting accounts. As detailed in Ms. Lively’s complaint, and as we intend to demonstrate in court, Wayfarer and those connected to them engaged in illegal, retaliatory behavior – spreading false information – because she was trying to protect herself and others on set. And their reaction to the lawsuit has been to launch even more attacks against Ms. Lively.”
“As we proceed with the legal process, we want to remind everyone that sexual harassment and retaliation are against the law in all workplaces and industries,” they added. “A common tactic used to divert attention from accusations of this kind of wrongdoing is to ‘blame the victim’ – suggesting they somehow provoked the behavior, misinterpreted it, or even lied. Another tactic is to flip the situation and portray the offender as the victim.”
Lively’s lawyers said “these approaches make serious misconduct seem acceptable and unimportant.” They also emphasized that “statements to the media are not a legal defense” to her claims and that they will pursue her case in court.
In reply, Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, Freedman, stated to TopMob, “It’s quite ironic that Blake Lively is claiming Justin Baldoni misused the media, considering her own team initiated this harsh attack by giving the New York Times heavily altered documents even before the lawsuit was officially filed.”
“We are sharing all the proof that demonstrates a repeated pattern of intimidation and attempts to control the film,” he continued. “This won’t be unexpected, as Blake Lively has historically used others to deliver these threats and strong-arm her way into getting what she wants. We have all the evidence and more.”
On January 16th, Baldoni, Heath, Wayfarer, publicist Abel, crisis communication specialist Nathan, and the production company It Ends With Us Movie LLC, filed a lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane and Sloane’s firm Vision PR in New York.
The suit, obtained by TopMob News, claims all defendants engaged in civil extortion, defamation, and a false light invasion of privacy. Specifically, Lively was accused of breaching an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, while both she and Reynolds were accused of intentionally interfering with contracts and economic benefits, as well as negligently interfering with potential economic benefits.
The plaintiffs denied Lively’s claims of sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign. They further accused her of taking control of It Ends With Us and collaborating with Reynolds, Sloane, Jones, and others to damage their reputations in the press following criticism of the film’s marketing. (Lively maintained in her filings that she promoted the movie according to Sony’s marketing plan.)
The lawsuit alleges the defendants worked with The New York Times to publish a “blockbuster” news report that was both damaging and untrue. The publication has defended its reporting.
In a statement to TopMob, Freedman stated, “Blake Lively was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and knowingly misrepresented the truth.”
Lively’s legal team described his lawsuit as a typical tactic used by abusers, telling TopMob News, “This is a familiar pattern: a woman comes forward with clear evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation, and the abuser tries to blame her instead. Experts call this DARVO – Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim Offender.”
She also claims he retaliated after she made her allegations, stating that Baldoni is attempting to portray Lively as having “seized creative control and alienated the cast from Mr. Baldoni.”
“The evidence will demonstrate,” the statement continued, “that other cast and crew members also had negative experiences with Mr. Baldoni and Wayfarer. Furthermore, the evidence will show that Sony requested Ms. Lively to oversee their portion of the film, which they ultimately chose to distribute to great success.”
Her team further criticized Baldoni’s response to her harassment claims.
“Their reaction to the sexual harassment allegations is to claim she wanted it, and that it’s her fault. Their explanation for what happened to her is to focus on what she was wearing,” her lawyers added. “Simply put, while the victim focuses on the abuse, the abuser focuses on the victim. This strategy of attacking the woman is desperate, it doesn’t disprove the evidence in Ms. Lively’s complaint, and it will ultimately fail.”
Legal representatives for Baldoni have released footage from the filming of It Ends With Us, arguing that the video “clearly refutes Ms. Lively’s characterization” of his behavior.
According to a statement from Baldoni’s attorneys, the scene was intended to portray a developing romance and a desire for intimacy between the characters. They state that “Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism.”
However, Lively’s legal team contends that the video actually “corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described” in her lawsuit, claiming that “every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance.”
They further explained to TopMob News in a statement, “The video shows Ms. Lively leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk.” They added, “Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort.”
The couple sent a letter to the judge handling their case, asking that Freedman-who leads Baldoni’s legal team-be prohibited from speaking publicly about the case. They believe this is necessary to “avoid improper conduct” during the legal process.
A seven-minute voice memo reportedly sent by Baldoni to Lively while filming It Ends With Us was made public. In the memo, the director seemed to be talking about the movie’s rooftop scene, which Lively had revised, and how those changes were brought to his attention during a supposed meeting with Reynolds and their friend Taylor Swift.
“It’s amazing to have friends like that, especially considering you two are among the most creative people I know,” he said to Lively. “The three of you together are incredible.”
In the recording, Baldoni also appeared to apologize to the actress for not initially being enthusiastic about her script, stating, “I messed up. Something you should know about me is that I’ll own up to and apologize for my mistakes.”
As a dedicated follower of this case, I was really keeping track of everything, and I saw that about a month after Lively officially sued Baldoni, the court actually scheduled a date – March 9, 2026. It’s a long way off, but it’s a definite step forward! I’m eager to see how it unfolds.
According to documents obtained by TopMob News, Baldoni’s legal team updated his counterclaim filed on January 16th with the U.S. District Court. The counterclaim now includes The New York Times, in addition to Lively, Reynolds, Sloane, and Sloane’s PR firm, Vision PR, Inc.
The updated filing asserts that Lively and her associates spent several months “colluding” and providing false information to The New York Times.”
The documents claim the newspaper “cherry-picked” and changed communications, removing important context and deliberately editing them to be misleading.”
Baldoni built a website detailing his legal case against Lively, which included the updated complaint and a “timeline of relevant events.” This timeline featured what Baldoni claimed were screenshots of text conversations between Lively, Reynolds, and himself.
The website went live just one month after Freedman stated his legal team intended to publish “every single text message between the two.”
“Our goal is to reveal the truth,” Baldoni’s lawyer explained to NBC News on January 2nd. “We want all the evidence available so people can draw their own conclusions based on the facts.”
Lively’s lawyers submitted a revised complaint stating that two other women who worked on It Ends With Us also felt uneasy about Baldoni’s conduct on set.
“Lively wasn’t the only one to raise concerns about Baldoni,” the complaint, which TopMob News obtained, asserted. “The experiences of Lively and these other women were recorded as they happened, beginning in May 2023. Crucially, and unlike what the Defendants are claiming, Baldoni admitted to receiving these complaints in writing at the time. He was aware that women besides Lively were also uncomfortable and had voiced concerns about his behavior.”
The revised complaint didn’t reveal the names of the two witnesses, who Lively says will testify, because of the “hostile environment of threats, harassment, and intimidation caused by the Defendants’ efforts to retaliate.”
In a statement to TopMob, Freedman dismissed the complaint as containing “unreliable secondhand information” and claimed the unnamed individuals were “apparently unwilling to step forward or publicly back up her accusations.”
Following Baldoni’s claim that Sloane spread false and damaging rumors, painting him as “a sexual predator” and running a “smear campaign” guided by Lively, Sloane requested the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
In the documents obtained by TopMob News, Sloane’s attorney alleged that there was no “basis” for the accusations made against their client and that she was simply “dragged” into the lawsuit as a “smoke and mirrors exercise to distract from” Lively’s accusations.
Lively hired Nick Shapiro, a former Deputy Chief of Staff for the CIA, to help with the legal communication strategy for the sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit happening in the Southern District of New York, according to a member of her legal team at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, as reported by Variety on February 28.
Shapiro worked at the CIA from 2013 to 2015 during the Obama administration. He later held leadership positions at Visa, as vice president of global security and communications, and at Airbnb, where he was the global head of crisis management. Following three years with the rental company, he established his own firm, 10th Avenue Consulting LLC.
The New York Times has asked the court to remove it from the $400 million legal case. This lawsuit also involves Lively, Baldoni, Sloane, and Sloane’s business, according to documents received by TopMob News.
In a court filing, the newspaper contended that Baldoni’s team was presenting a “one-sided story that has attracted significant media attention,” but asserted that The Times shouldn’t be involved in the disagreement.
Attorneys for The New York Times also pointed out that the initial $250 million lawsuit filed by Baldoni and those connected to Wayfarer was dropped after The New York Times was included in a larger $400 million lawsuit, according to documents obtained by Deadline.
After The New York Times asked the court to dismiss the case, U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman agreed to temporarily pause the process of exchanging information and documents, as reported by TopMob News.
The request, filed with the judge on February 28th, sought to halt the sharing of information while the judge reviewed it.
In a document filed on March 4th, Judge Liman stated that The New York Times had demonstrated “substantial grounds” and a high probability of success in their motion to dismiss the case.
The judge also mentioned that he didn’t think Baldoni’s legal team would be harmed by the pause while the court considered the motion.
A New York Times spokesperson told TopMob News, “We appreciate the court’s decision today, which recognizes the important First Amendment values at stake here. The court has stopped Mr. Baldoni from overburdening The Times with unnecessary requests in a case that shouldn’t have been filed.”
Following Baldoni’s claim that Lively was exploiting her friendship with Swift to gain greater creative influence on It Ends With Us – and after his lawyers attempted to subpoena the singer – a spokesperson for Swift responded.
According to a statement released to TopMob News on May 9th, Taylor Swift had no involvement with the movie’s production. The spokesperson confirmed she never visited the set, wasn’t part of any casting or creative process, didn’t compose the music, and didn’t review any versions of the film or offer feedback.
As a huge Taylor fan, I was so excited to learn about her small but meaningful connection to the film – she graciously allowed them to use her song, ‘My Tears Ricochet,’ which is amazing! Her team explained that, like 19 other artists, she simply licensed a song for the project. Honestly, it feels like this whole legal document request is just a tactic to get Taylor’s name in the headlines and create sensational tabloid stories, instead of actually dealing with the real issues of the case. It’s frustrating to see her involvement framed this way when she was just being a supportive artist.
Baldoni’s attorneys withdrew their request later that month, per Lively’s legal team.
The judge agreed to dismiss the lawsuit brought against Lively, Reynolds, their publicist Sloane, Sloane’s company Vision PR, and The New York Times. The decision was made because Baldoni and his lawyers didn’t provide enough evidence to support their claims of defamation or civil extortion.
Similar to many others, I experienced the hardship of a retaliatory lawsuit, and the feeling of shame that it tries to inflict,” Lively posted on Instagram Stories after the case was dropped. “Although the lawsuit against me was unsuccessful, many people don’t have the means to defend themselves.”
As a longtime supporter, I was deeply moved by her words. She said, “With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me. Many of you I know. Many of you I don’t. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.” It really resonated with me – she’s always been so dedicated to everyone, even those she hasn’t personally met. It’s inspiring to see that level of commitment, and I know so many others feel the same way!
In a statement to TopMob News, Baldoni’s lawyer said Lively’s claim of victory is “false and expected.”
The lawyer stated, “This case centers on untrue claims of sexual harassment and subsequent retaliation, along with a fabricated attempt to damage someone’s reputation.” They pointed out that Ms. Lively’s team themselves call this supposed campaign ‘untraceable’ because they can’t demonstrate that it ever actually occurred.”
Lively gave a deposition at her lawyers’ office in New York. While some news outlets described it as a “face-to-face showdown” with Baldoni, her legal team later submitted a request to the court criticizing the idea that she required a large group of witnesses to be present.
According to Lively’s lawyer, the facts were that Baldoni was present in the room with the other people she was suing, and each of them had their own lawyer there as well.
