Blake Lively will face a lawsuit from Justin Baldoni that will shock everyone. According to his attorney, Justin Baldoni intends to countersuit Blake Lively following her shocking accusation of sexual harassment.

Baldoni intends to file a lawsuit against his co-star Lively from It Ends With Us last Friday for allegedly sexually harassing her on set and then using a public relations team to damage her reputation, as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni's attorney, told Deadline on Saturday that when they file our first lawsuit, it is going to shock everyone who has been manipulated into believing a demonstrably false narrative.

It will tell the true story and be backed up by actual evidence, Freedman added. He has been in practice for more than 30 years and has never witnessed this degree of deliberate unethical behaviour supported by media manipulation.

According to the reported countersuit, Baldoni was slandered by Lively's PR team, not the other way around. According to the Daily Mail, this included the actress's own publicist fabricating stories about Baldoni in an effort to harm his reputation.

What Allegations Does Blake Lively Make Against Justin Baldoni?

Lively accused Baldoni in an 80-page suit filed with the California Civil Rights Department of misconduct on the set of It Ends With Us and then waging a smear campaign against her during its promotion.

She alleges that Baldoni pressured her to remove her coat in front of crew members and other actors to reveal a low-cut dress she was wearing to easily breastfeed her baby daughter. Lively also claims that her co-star and director contacted her fitness trainer without her consent or awareness, and implied he wanted her to lose weight.

Baldoni was dropped by his talent agency, WME, after Lively’s claims. He and Freedman have denied the allegations in Lively’s suit, writing in a statement that it is completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious.
