Friends and Faith: Baldoni’s Response to $400M Lawsuit

Justin Baldoni is leaning on his family and friends to cope with the recent drama. After filing a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, their publicist Leslie Sloane, and her PR firm Vision PR Inc. , Baldoni opened up about his support system. "I’m so grateful to be with my family, " Baldoni shared while at LAX. “We have amazing friends, family, and faith. ” His lawyer filed the suit in New York’s Southern District on Thursday. It accuses Lively of trying to take control over the movie "It Ends With Us. " The suit claims she interfered with project aspects not covered by her contract, such as creative control over her character's wardrobe. In response, Lively’s lawyer accused Baldoni of retaliating against her sexual harassment allegations. Lively had filed a lawsuit in December, claiming Baldoni's actions caused her emotional distress and wage loss. She hopes her legal action will expose the tactics used against people who report misconduct.
