Blake Lively Fights Back Against Baldoni's $400M Lawsuit

Blake Lively has fired back at Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit, alleging it's a retaliation attempt after she accused him of sexual harassment. Baldoni, along with his associates, is suing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, claiming she tried to gain control over their film, "It Ends With Us. " Lively's lawyers slammed the suit, comparing it to classic abuser tactics and insisting that Baldoni is trying to shift the blame. The case involves multiple allegations from both sides, including claims of civil extortion and defamation. Baldoni's lawsuit details how Lively supposedly went beyond her contractual role to control her character's wardrobe and alienated the cast. However, Lively's legal team argues that Baldoni is misdirecting the narrative and falsely accusing her to deflect from his own wrongdoings. The conflict escalated after Lively filed a civil rights complaint against Baldoni for inappropriate comments on set. Both sides have shuffled through numerous legal documents and public statements, creating a complex legal battle that continues to unfold.
