Celebs Clash: The Big Fight Behind It Ends With Us

Joe Rogan has taken sides in the heated dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. During a recent chat on his show with Brendan Schaub, Rogan backed Baldoni, calling out Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for their actions. Rogan believes that the power couple went too far in trying to discredit Baldoni, whom he describes as a genuinely kind person. The dispute started when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment during the making of "It Ends With Us. " She also claimed that Baldoni was planning to smear her reputation. These accusations led to a New York Times report, which sparked a series of lawsuits. Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, and things escalated from there. Baldoni, along with nine others, including his publicist Melissa Nathan, sued the New York Times for $250 million. They claimed the newspaper's report was defamatory. Lively then sued Baldoni and his group, accusing them of retaliation. The back-and-forth didn't stop there. Baldoni sued Lively and Reynolds for $400 million, citing civil extortion and defamation. He also accused Reynolds of mocking him through a character in "Deadpool & Wolverine. " Reynolds, however, wants the court to dismiss Baldoni's claims, arguing that he can't be sued for "hurt feelings. " Lively also wants Baldoni's defamation suit against her thrown out, claiming it's retaliation for her harassment complaint. The whole situation is a messy web of accusations and counter-accusations, with both sides digging in their heels. At the heart of the matter are serious allegations of sexual harassment and defamation. It's a reminder that even in Hollywood, power dynamics and personal conflicts can lead to complex legal battles. The outcome of these lawsuits could set important precedents for how such cases are handled in the future. It is important to note that the truth may never be fully known.
